[ Scott is sat in front of his console in his suite in the Wood Sector, which is practically a treehouse. Scott has to admit, his living quarters are pretty freaking cool. To anyone watching, please don't be alarmed by how uneven his jaw is. ]

Half of me thinks this is the weirdest Wolfsbane hallucination ever.... The other half of me thinks this is way too weird to be a figment of my imagination. I mean, a giant turtle underwater? If this isn't real, I've definitely lost my mind... [ It wouldn't be the first time he's thought he's gone crazy. ]

Anyway, I heard time stops back home. Can someone confirm this for me? Do we know for sure it does? It's just that Stiles - uh, that's my codependent best friend - I'm worried how he'll cope without me if time doesn't stop... [ Though technically he already left Stiles before he came here, but Scott doesn't want to think about that or he'll cry. ] I had some important stuff to do back home, really important. I just - I need to know for sure that time back home isn't passing without me because if it is, I can't be here.

[ But if he really has no other choice but to stay here... ] Does anybody want to go exploring? There's this bridge I saw that leads... somewhere? I wanted to check it out. [ But he'd prefer company.

Scott's not sure how to end this... ]

Uh... I'm Scott McCall, thanks for listening?

The turtle is very much so real. But if you want to explore more to confirm it, I'm all for it. I just got here, too.

[mccallmemaybe]

Really? I wonder how often people are brought here...

Sorry you're in the same predicament as I am though, unless you like it here? [ It's too soon for Scott to say whether he does or not... though he does really like his treehouse because it makes him feel like a kid again. ]

I like it to a point. Starting to miss familiar faces, but that's a given when you travel anywhere.

[mccallmemaybe]

Can't say I've ever traveled to a giant turtle before.

[Have a screaming biffle.]

DUDE!!!

Holy crap where are you oh my god!

[bereavements]

[ Seriously? Were they all taken? ]

Stilinski?

video

[skybluejeep]

...Okay what? Did you and Scott get here together or what?

[Not that that would be surprising! Scott and Isaac were close now...]

video

[bereavements]

Didn't you just get here, too? [ Weren't they all just taken? Somehow? Peter's probably here, somewhere. Shit, Cora, too. He has no idea. ] Did they get all of us? I should've checked out the palace. [ Though it was a pretty big palace by its own right. ] That means Peter's somewhere with Cora. Between life and death. Wonder if they roped Derek in, too. Or Allison, her father...

[ His thoughts are going a mile a minute but he's not speaking urgently. ] Shit.

[mccallmemaybe]

Stiles?!

[ He was the last person Scott was expecting to respond to this. ]

You're here! [ Scott looks so happy to see him for a moment, and then he looks worried because the last time he saw Stiles, Scott was walking away from him, and it was one of the hardest things Scott's ever had to do. ]

Please don't hate me for going with him. [ He doesn't mention Deucalion's name because he figures Stiles knows which "him" he's referring to. ]

[skybluejeep]

What? Hate you for going with who? What are you talking about?

No, seriously, where are you right now? What sector, what suite? Give me that right now because I'm already coming over.

[And it's true, he's already gathering up his stuff and slamming it into his backpack.]

[mccallmemaybe]

[ After stalking keeping a close eye on Stiles and Isaac's conversation, Scott stays tight-lipped for now. ]

I'm in 3B of the wood sector.

[ It's Scott. He's here, too. Is everyone here? Should he just spend all day at the console in his suite? Or, if he ventures out, at one of the cafes? At this point, he has no better plan. He starts off lightheartedly. Scott's always the beacon of hope, the unwavering source of optimism. He tries. ]

If you've lost your mind, what hope is there for the rest of us? [ He also listens to the rest. ]

Count me in for exploring. [ He's done some exploring but exploring by himself isn't the same! ] Is this the part where I say, I'm Isaac Lahey? [ A smile that lessens. ] Peter and I had to leave. We got Cora out. I wanted to wait for you. [ But, this is a lot, isn't it? ] Oh, I'm in the fire sector. Where are you right now?

...Isaac? [ Yet another person Scott wasn't expecting to respond to this. Both Stiles and Isaac were here? Exactly how many from Beacon Hills had been brought to this giant turtle? ]

I'm at the housing they gave me in the wood sector... Are you okay? You got away safely with Cora? [ Not that they can do anything about Cora now they're here. ]

[bereavements]

[ He's trying to find that out himself! ]

Yeah. We did. [ But, he doesn't sound proud of that fact. He still left you behind. He makes a mental note of the wood sector. ] What about you guys? Did the plan work? Did they fall for it? [ He hopes so. He's also now worried about Cora. If he's taken, that means Peter and Cora have to have been. He was with them. And Scott was at the hospital with Stiles. But, Allison, her father, and the alphas were outside. Maybe they weren't taken. ]

Definitely a giant turtle. Been to his head, had a chat and everything.

The underwater part is new though.

[mccallmemaybe]

You can talk to it?

So it hasn't always been below sea level? That's weird. I wonder why it's brought us down here... Maybe it's to do with that bridge.

Re: video;

[parallels]

Not exactly talk. Bit more like... be in the presence of?

No, we just dropped down a few days ago. Definitely has to do with the bridge. Probably meant to explore the city.

Time...kind of stops. [Dropping the clone bomb is probably not the best greeting] It's really weird. My girlfriend got here six months before me and had no idea that we met up again back home. But when I showed up, I was only from a week ahead of her, and she hadn't disappeared from our world back home or anything.

Oh, uh - hi. I'm Percy, by the way.

video;

[mccallmemaybe]

[ That's what Scott wanted to hear, some actual proof, though Percy could be lying... but why would he lie? ]

Hey Percy. Thanks for telling me your story, that's really helpful... This place must be a lot more bearable with your girlfriend here.

[kelpful]

[Percy gives a sort of dumb grin at that last line. You have no idea how great his girlfriend is okay Scott seriously] Yeah, I'm pretty sure I'd be going crazy without her. [And then he pauses, clearing his throat a little, because that was super unmanly.]

But - okay, it's not great, what with the whole being kidnapped thing, but it doesn't completely suck, either. The turtle, Asti, does what he can to look out for us. And you just missed the rationing as well, so there's plenty to eat. Plus, people look out for each other here.

Word of advice if you do go exploring that other city? If you see an archway with some weird writing above it, don't go through it. Just trust me on that one.

I'm Miles, by the way. Welcome to Keeliai.

[mccallmemaybe]

You've been there? What happened?

It's nice to meet you... How long have you been here?

...Sorry for all the questions.

[demon_brat]

You will not have been missing from home, nor remember any time you have spent here. The evidence is pretty strong, though it might be more persuasive if the parties involved were known.

Though I suppose that is not entirely necessary to be reassured of, by this point.

[What. He can see that the 'codependent best friend' has been found.]

video;

[mccallmemaybe]

We won't remember being here? Not that any sane person would believe we were kidnapped to live on a giant turtle...

Maybe that's why nobody remembers. So we don't get sent to a psychiatric hospital for talking about this place.

[demon_brat]

[Damian almost retorts that not all would be considered insane for telling this story, but he bites that off in time.]

I suppose that is one way to look at things. There are other theories.
