Well, this is just perfect.

[ No, it was far from perfect and it was obvious, you didn't even need Lydia's tone to work that one out ]

So, let me get this straight. I just witnessed [ pause ] something which I apparently can't describe [ and that is rare for Lydia Martin ] and then what? Some kidnaps me and brings me to this dump? And don't even get me started on why I'm even doing this.

[ Because, Lydia, you're ever so slightly hopeful that there is someone out there, someone other than the creepy kidnapper ]

Yeah, we've all been kidnapped, sorry to say.

And how's the escape going?

Re: Voice

[recognize_an_opportunity]

I'd call it whatever the opposite of a resounding success is.

Then I'd probably get back to working on it.

I like to take my time from my busy schedule of escape planning to greet new arrivals. I'll get right back on the escape thing, though.

[intelligently]

Well you've done that. [ She'll be better tomorrow? ] Good, because I'm not staying here.

[recognize_an_opportunity]

Maybe not for the long term, but you might as well make yourself comfortable for now.

[intelligently]

And how do I do that? This place doesn't look like it'll give that.

[recognize_an_opportunity]

There're decent places to live, at least. The food isn't great.

[intelligently]

Decent. Like where?

[recognize_an_opportunity]

Some of the houses around here aren't bad, but you'll probably end up with a roommate.

[intelligently]

And let me guess, I don't get to choose who?

[recognize_an_opportunity]

I guess it depends on whether you know anyone here or not. You might end up with strangers.

[intelligently]

Knowing someone doesn't make me want to live with them. [ Although it might be preferable to a stranger, even if it is Stiles ]

[recognize_an_opportunity]

That's true. I guess if you had the misfortune of having someone you didn't like show up here, too, you'd be better off taking your chances with a random roommate.

[intelligently]

Then let's hope I don't.

[recognize_an_opportunity]

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.
