Hi, everybody. I'm not sure who exactly I'm speaking to or how this works, but I'm new here and I have a favor to ask you all.
I know this is a lot to ask for, but does anybody have any clothes I could borrow? Clothes for a guy, I mean. I'm, uh-- Well I feel ridiculous right now and I'd really like to change out of what I'm wearing.
[For those of you who don't make a habit of checking your compact or who might be out and about already, you might find Blaine trying to find something remotely masculine to change into, even if it means trudging through the snow. Judging from this pretty little number and these heels, he hasn't had any luck yet.]

voice;
[There's a bit of fumbling as he finds some place to discreet change out of these clothes. It'd be kind of weird with Stiles on the line, so he'll briefly excuse himself until he returns in all his bowtied glory.]
Sorry about that. I just didn't want to, you know, while on the line. Um. These clothes aren't going to disappear or anything, right? I mean, I wished them up. I just want to make sure before I step outside again and give everybody an eyeful.
And, let me tell you, this is by far the worst experience I've ever had introducing myself, but my name's Blaine. I've never imagined meeting somebody by talking about this.
video; AWW BOO YOU EDITED IT OUT /cackled
Nah, you should be good. They typically disappear out of your wardrobe, replaced with one that looks like it belongs to Llllyya girl I know. [Right. It's kind of weird not to imagine people not knowing who Lydia is. She's Lydia.
At the last comment, his mouth quirks into a half smile and he nods his head.] Stiles. [And then, a little mockingly.] And no, that's not my actual name, it's a nickname.
voice? video? how do these things switch; and shhhh nobody actually talks like that
Stiles' face popping up takes him by surprise but it's not that hard to deal with it. It's like Skyping, right? Skyping through a makeup compact. Yeah. His brain is still wrapping around that one. He waves, figuring that if it's video on one side, it's probably video on the other.]
I'll keep it in mind, "Stiles".
[He's not making fun of him, just making a point to say his name of choice.]
That has to be annoying after awhile. Like what if the only remaining shirt in my closet is a red polo but I feel like wearing the navy polo?
There's a button on the side! Here Stiles will teach him...
...Then you...wish for a navy one...? Oh God.
[Guess who else doesn't understand fashion. Tragic plaid is a look, okay.
When he finally closes his mouth again, completely lost on this foreign thing, he shakes his head like he's trying to clear it.]
Aaanyway. It's common courtesy to video back if you're not a pedophile. There's a button on the side. [He leans on his chin--he's chewing on what appears to be a pen.] You just arrived, right? Did you read the whole letter?
wow okay I just miss all the crucial info apparently
[The video switches on and held so it shows just below his bowtie up to his hair. Luckily his hair went unperturbed or there would have been freak out of the major variety.
But honestly, he's usually so cordial with introductions that this entire conversation is making him feel out of his element. He cheeks are red out of embarrassment already, pretty sure he's made a fool of himself.]
I thought it was more important to find something else to wear before doing anything else. Which reminds me, you can't just wish for another navy polo if you very succinctly want that particular polo. Seriously, it's a problem!
Its all good |D they're supposed to figure it out ICly anyway
There's already Derek oopsThat dude is wearing a bowtie. Stiles stares at him for a minute and lets him get adjusted, staring at the feed. He's kind of obscenely well dressed. Stiles didn't know people like that actually existed.
....He's still staring by the time Blaine finishes his sentence.]
That's your number one concern? Holy god, you look like you walked out of a Gap commercial. [It's like talking to a male Lydia.] Look just. Read the letter. It'll make your life easier, Blaine. [But see he remembered your name.]
gomen
Stay away from Pedowolf, Little Red.Okay, that's a lot to take in and he's not sure what in particular alarms him the most. But obviously--]Sansa Stark? Now I know you're either lying through your teeth or delusional because she happens to be what we call a fictional character.
[sTILES IF YOU DIS THE GAP I S2G]
Hey now, there's nothing wrong with the Gap. It's affordable and fashionable. [glancing down at himself] Besides, if we're being honest about this, I look like I walked off the set of a Lacoste shoot.
Now to direct your attention to something not related to what or what not I choose to wear, I'll have you know I have that letter right here.
[Waving the letter for good measure. Just don't start insulting Ralph Lauren now or something.]
unacceptable!!1!
....oookay.
didn't you get dumped in a gap] Isn't that a shoe store? [He tried.]Okay, well, letters are typically for reading. [Little...shoo-ing motions. Go on.]
forgive my erroneous ways, senpai
[
he got dumped outside the gap so it's k] Lacoste is known mostly for its active wear. It's the one with the crocodile logo.[He raises a brow. Like. Right now? That would be Kinda Rude. But Stiles is obviously waiting for him to do it so he sets to doing that.]
all is forgiven
...Riiight. [Smiling and nodding.
But he waits for Blaine to read, linking his hands and resting his chin on them.] Well?
muchos grassy ass
de nahda
[You literally get the most dramatic eyeroll in the history of ever, Blaine.]
What does it say, smart guy.

Since you're so adamant about it, I'm just going to read it.
[BRIGHT CHEERY VOICE] Welcome to Arcanarum! [energy instantly fizzling] The Rulers would like to thank you for stepping in to replace Karen, -- [looking up] I know that story. She's from the Red Shoes. -- and as such have provided you with residence in the Lilac district. [He waves his hand to motion to his housing in the background. See, Stiles?]
You are the first of your household to join us, so make sure to prepare for the arrivals of your future companions! [there's a small, kind of private smile there and an unintended pause] You'll find everything you need and more in your new home, including a mirror for communication and a key to the front door on your nightstand. [Which he digs out of his pocket and shows.] So far, so good.
If you find yourself in need of anything that we have not provided, then hopefully you can locate these items in the-- In the market to the north of the island. [He trails off there, tapping the letter to the compact.]
Okay, okay. I get it. I should have read it more carefully. In my defense, asking was quicker and easier than finding out where that is.
no subject
Whatever. As he finishes, he shrugs.] You're just lucky it was us who answered you and not the creepy Joker dude that runs around and causes havoc every couple of weeks. To make a long story short, the Rulers are dicks, the island is full of other people who have no interest in being fairy tales, and the magical wishing for things thing is about the only cool thing about being here, but even that has a catch.

Two, you can't wish for technology. I tried to wish for my Mac and it blew up in my face. Literally.
no subject
[and then a wistful sigh because that is kind of tough. how does he get his music. or costumes. or hairgel.]
So what do they expect us to do here then? Besides the whole denizen thing. Because I'm really not looking forward to dressing up in that again.
no subject
...........]
That...that's actually a really great question? I mean, they don't bother us all that often. I guess we're just supposed to sit here and live life while they turn us into women.
[SIGH.]
Obviously we're trying to get out.
no subject
[because becoming a woman has been his lifelong dream]
