Who: John Sheppard
Username: Pegasus
Warnings: Loss of name/identity, mild body horror

[Sheppard’s on screen looking uncharacteristically panicked. He looks like he’s been through some things, or maybe he just hasn’t been sleeping well. Dark circles are under his eyes. For a second it almost looks like he has sharp canines, and sometimes his unshaven face looks a little feline or a little feral but it’s probably just a trick of the light because he looks perfectly normal when you look again. It’s fine. He’s fine. They’re all fine here.]

I think there’s something wrong with me.

I have a first name, right? I’m not just Sheppard but that’s…

…I have a first name, right?

Sometimes I hate magic. This is a really uncool use of it.

You mean that Steve’s not their…you mean they’re probably using my name out there too?!

Dammit, this isn’t good, I promised them a favor.

[He thought you were cool, “Steve.” Now he’s worried he owes a faerie a favor and there goes his soul or something.]

[worthallthis]

they might be yeah

i hate magic pretty much all the time

[He says, to the guy who apparently went and got changed into a cat thing. Winter is not particularly impressed.]

be very careful what you agree to with the favor cuz specific wording is very important

[ferriswheelsandfootball]

Uh.

I was very unspecific when I offered.

Like it was a favor for anything.

I literally said they could have help, for whatever they wanted, no questions asked.

[Hahaha he is so screwed. He rubs his face.]

Okay. Maybe if they ask for something I can weasel my way out.

[worthallthis]

you already agreed to do something just make sure you know exactly what the favor is before you agree again

they might not be malicious its just how the faerie are i think

[Look Winter is going off of childhood memories which have been wiped god knows how many times. And his own interaction with them. Maybe he should read up on them or something...]

[ferriswheelsandfootball]

So taking my name wasn't malicious.

[There's a beat.]

I dunno, it just seems kinda malicious to me...

[worthallthis]

said might not be not definitely isnt

i just dont know

but faerie are not human and dont think like humans

[ferriswheelsandfootball]

I've dealt with a lot of malevolent aliens in my time, I get what that can be like...

Why do they even need a name, anyway? What's it for? I need to read up on faerie stuff...I'm more of a sci-fi guy, myself.

[worthallthis]

i dont know my memory of this stuff is very hazy and stuff online is very confusing

im usually more of a sci fi guy too i dont even know why i know this
