[A pair of big brown doe eyes are peering into the camera at extreme closeup, like he's trying to dive into the lens and spot people on the other side. Finally, the eyes pull back, and the video focuses on the rest of the face to go along with the eyes. It's a teenager, with a really weird and ambivalent expression on his face. In the background are his new digs, still shiny and new and clean, and obviously a suite in the Earth sector.]

Wow, okay. This Skype connection is weird, it says I'm on but it's not giving me any user names or pings or anything. It's either broken or I'm doing it wrong, either of which is possible, I guess.

Um.

Yeah, so, I'm Stiles, I'm seventeen, I'm new here and I'm apparently dead. Or something, maybe not. Gotta love that whole hot mess. I thought the afterlife was supposed to be a bit more, you know, well-defined and concrete. ...For an ethereal possibility that's never been proven, except on bad basic cable "Reality" shows.

[Oh, the sarcasm.]

Anyway. Okay, this is a long shot, but does the town name Beacon Hills mean anything to anybody here? Maybe? Beacon Hills, California? 94166? Yes? Holla at yo hometown. ...Please?

You know you just did, right?

No I didn't.

Pleading the fifth. That's what that means. I'm not at all going back now and trying to see if there are any posts by anybody I know here. Nope.

Seriously, don't think the fifth exists here.

It's like a double-edged sword, great if people you know are here, sucks that they're here and stuck as well.

I'd offer to see if I knew any of their names since I've been here since we all started washing up on shore, but I don't know everyone here so, it's kinda hard to do that.

...How long have you been here?

[Now he's starting to look concerned; he'd been holding out hope that this would be a temporary thing and he'd be back in Beacon Hills in a couple of weeks, tops.]

How long? Gotta be a year now.

..........Greeeeeeeaaaaat.

So I have a year on the back of a giant turtle to look forward to. If not more. I'll be 18. That's just not fair.

It'll go by pretty fast some times. I mean, it doesn't feel like a year most of the time? Still sucks though, I'm gonna be 3. No wait, I gotta be that already...Well technically. But I should really be like 17 now. Let's go with 17.

[Eeeeeeyebrow.]

Three or seventeen. Right. That makes so much sense. Only not.

Well I'm a close so it kinda does? Artificially aged with implanted knowledge. Been out the tank for three years now.

[Cause cloning is no big deal Stiles, gosh. And it's not even human cloning either.]
