Fifty First Sip

Well, I did try to warn some of you that magic always comes at a price. It was only a matter of time before something like this happened. Maybe after this incident you'll be less inclined to just wish everything you want into existence because it's the easiest way. Be glad you don't live on my world, you'd all be up a creek without a paddle surrounded by ravenous crocodiles and perhaps a few rabid sharks by now.

So, how long precisely are you planning on hiding out there? Because my ability to care enough to cover for you is beginning to wear thin if you continue to be stupid and stay out in the middle of nowhere without any word if you're okay or not.

[Gods, this is awkward, but with Nikola brooding and James hiding, it was ultimately up to her to keep an eye on the poor woman] So. How're you settling in?

From what I've heard this is the first time the castle's done it.

But hey, maybe they'll remember this the next time they want and or need something.

[mal_addict]

It's never happened since I've been here, anyway. But still, it was only a matter of time, so here's hoping they have learned their respective lessons.

[imalwaysright]

Here's to hoping. Maybe they won't forget it.

[mal_addict]

I doubt it, but fingers crossed, hmm?

[imalwaysright]

Hey, we can hope. Don't deprive me of what little optimism I have left.

[mal_addict]

You still have optimism in this place? My, I'm impressed.

[imalwaysright]

I've been here for less than a month. Don't be that impressed.

[mal_addict]

Ah, you haven't been truly beaten down by this place yet, then.

[imalwaysright]

Nope, not yet.

I'm willing to see how long my positive streak keeps going.

[mal_addict]

I give you another month, tops.

[imalwaysright]

I can so last longer than that.

[mal_addict]

I don't know, I've seen 'em break much sooner.

[imalwaysright]

I'm stubborn.

[mal_addict]

So I can see. So, Mister Stubborn, what's your name?

[imalwaysright]

Stiles. What's yours?

[mal_addict]

Maladict. It's a pleasure.

[imalwaysright]

I can say the same for you, fellow non-wish-maker.

[mal_addict]

We are a dying breed, it seems.

[imalwaysright]

I'm so not planning on going extinct.

[mal_addict]

That's good to know.
