[Video - Public]
[She has debated making this video not public for the entire Barge. Mostly, she'd debated whether or not to filter out the damn vampire. But as far as she knows, she's safe to just make it public without risking leaving someone else out, too since he's still at the infirmary. Besides, he'd be really damn stupid to try something when most, if not all of the Barge is up there.

Lydia's face is brighter than it's been when she shows up on video. Mostly because of what she's planning on doing after her public announcement but also because she owes it to Needy to make this amazing. She deserves to have a great party and Lydia will so everything in her power to deliver her just that. She is known for throwing the best parties in Beacon Hills after all.]

Hello Barge!

I know we've had a couple of rocky weeks with a flood and lots of drama, but that's not what this is about.

I'm sure most of you have met Needy by now. She has a birthday coming up and we're celebrating it! This will be a full on party, there will be drinks, food and music. We're still deciding on a location*, but I will let everyone know as soon as we pick one.

The party is happening on the 19th, that is this coming Friday and we are getting started around eight.

I expect to see everyone there. Don't make me send people to come drag you from your cabin because I will! [And that might be especially for you, Peter. And maybe a few others who might need nudging.]

[*OOC: The party will be on the CES, I won't make another post to announce this, but assume your characters got a notification about it later in the week!]

[Private Video - Blight]
That includes you, Mr. Powers. Even if I have to talk to your warden myself.

[Private Video - Stiles]
[She switches the feed off and takes a deep breath. She's not nervous so much except-- she kind of is? It's a lot of pressure considering what she's about to do, who this is and the fact that she basically never had to do this before. Guys usually just come begging her for dates and eventually, she says yes if she feels like it. She's never had to ask someone else out. Not that she's asking so much... she really doesn't think she needs to.]

You heard that, right?

[Spam - Jerry and later Bucky]
[She has a lot to do. She wants the party to be absolutely perfect and she still needs to find a location for it. So far, she's considering the deck because of view, but she knows not everyone appreciates a reminder that they are out in space, so she is also considering the CES.

Right now, it will all depend on what she can find in the CES the day of the party and if it's doable or not, but she fact that it's locked and inmates like Jerry would need a Warden to let them in and she knows no one would willingly. They are all wardens for a reason, right?

Right now, she has notes on her phone of what she needs to get and what she needs to do, and she's checking them over and adding materials to make lanterns. Either way, she will need them. She might check what she can find in the art room with Ben. She might have to just request something from the Admiral.]

[Video - Pack Filter]
[OOC: Later in the day, after she is attacked by Jerry.]

This is mostly for Scott, Isaac, Kira and Erica. I just want to give you guys the heads up that I had to draw a Mountain Ash line on my door so if you wanna come to my cabin, let me know first so I can break it. I don't want any of you to get hurt.

I'm fine.

[Out of everyone, she trusts Scott the most not to lose his temper and just go after Jerry. But when she sees the way his jaw clenches, she knows the reassurance won't hurt.]

I was on the common room on the forth floor and he came in. He's still injured and weak, so he didn't hurt me. And Bucky was able to subdue him the rest of the way.

[His jaw clenches tighter, but he breathes in through his nose and lets it out again. He doesn't have much of a temper - the worst was always in the early months of his change. But now, he has control. He does. So he knows he won't go hunt Jerry down, because it wouldn't be right.

But he's still mad.]

But he tried? To hurt you?

Edited 2014-09-16 18:05 (UTC)

Well. He was uncomfortably closed. But.

[And there may be a little bit of a smirk on her lips there. Maybe. No, definitely.]

I managed to hold him back. [On her own!] With some of the stuff Bucky has been teaching us.

[It takes a moment, but he unlocks his jaw, forces the corner of his mouth upward.]

Good. That's really good.

[He falls quiet again, trying to sort out what he should say to this guy to make him listen.] Lydia - is he just trying to be intimidating? To scare you?

[Because there's a big difference, between someone who's posturing and someone who's willing to constantly attack. He already bit Stiles. How much further will it go?]

He definitely wants to scare me. To make me uncomfortable. [And yes, to intimidate her.]

I don't think he's looking to kill. I don't think he's looking just for food, either. I haven't been able to figure out what he wants, but [deep breath.] We need to be careful, Scott. He reminds me of Peter. A lot.

[It doesn't take him aback, really. If he thinks about it, he can see the similarities. He just wishes they weren't there.]

We will be.

[Because if he's like Peter, he probably has a bigger plan in mind. Scott needs to talk to him again. Soon.]

[Lydia nods, and then she glances down for a second before focusing on the camera again.]

Especially with Allison.

[He keeps his eyes on her, ignores the way his heart jumps at her name.]

Has she said anything?

[He remembers what he and Isaac dove into. He remembers Allison taunting. He's already worried.]

She's said a lot of things.

[Lydia takes a deep breath. She hates doing this to Scott but she knows Allison will need both of them.]

She seems very prone to violence. More than she was before-- we told her. [A pause.]

I've heard people can get demoted.

She wouldn't.

[His response is immediate, confident - but he takes a second to think about it, and suddenly he's not so certain. What she'd do for the people she loves - Scott shakes his head.]

She's not going to get demoted.

[Because they'll make sure.]

She won't. [She really won't. She can't. And they can't let it happen to her.]

We'll make sure of it. We'll figure this out. [Right?]

Yeah.

[They didn't come here to let this place do something worse to her. Scott knows that it can: he was warned in his first week here that it could. That it might destroy his optimism, his faith. So he's fortified himself - but maybe they haven't. Which means they have to be strong for each other. And Allison has to understand that.

He smiles, wanly, but he smiles, and nods.]

Yeah. We will.

We will.

[She smiles too, nodding at him.]

And Scott? If you need anything, tell me. [Don't take all the weight of everything on your shoulders.]

[It's all he knows how to do. To hold more and more and more, because he can take the weight, and it's worth it to feel a little heavier if he can see someone else look a little lighter.

But he smiles, because it's not like he's a martyr, he doesn't want to hold everything on his own.]

You got it.

[And he reaches out to kill the feed. There's a lot he needs to think about.]
