Ship - Tranquility - I have a bit of a crisis-

So I need everyone to stop a moment and think very hard, and I mean incredibly hard, about this, because forget the bloody temperature and the mess with all that and everything else because, well.

...I've run out of tea.

Proper tea, not the space tea that tastes like the stuff you get from the blank boxes that they sell at the Co-op. Or worse, the off-stuff from Tescos.

Does anyone have real tea?

[ annie what does that mean is she copying you or what!! ]

So you can't make coffee because she makes coffee?

[It's very complicated!!!]

Yes.

You're kidding, right?
She's not even here.

Derek, it's complicated!

[A pause]

Sometimes, Josh, and Aidan, and Sally, it's like they're...too much like us.

[ there's a pause then derek reluctantly switches over to voice. ]

Josh never mentioned anything about it.

You can't say to anyone I've told you. It's...strange. But our lives, they match in ways-

[She pauses.]

We're a ghost, a werewolf, and a vampire, living in the same house. Very similar things happened. I think the way that Sally died is like how I did. The way Josh and George were bitten. Just.

Things that are the same. That are too the same.

[ there is a silence. ]

Meaning what?

We don't know, do we? How our lives are so...much the same.

Stiles thinks there are alternate versions of people. He thinks there was another version of him here, once.

Is his alternate version British?

And also tolerant of ghosts?

No.

[ squints ]

I don't think we're talking about the same thing.

Maybe not.

[ alternate realities, just one more weird thing derek tries to ignore. ]

Does any of it matter? The similarities?

Well, would you like it if someone shared your life except in another country?

[ derek huffs, grimly amused ]

I wouldn't. Neither would they.

I think we manage quite well, considering.

I know. I saw.

[ literally, thanks empathy event ]
