one ☂ video ☁ well, all i need is, the air i breathe and a place to rest my head

[bereavements]

[ After reeling from what he's learned yesterday and realizing when he woke up today that this wasn't a freaky vivid dream, Isaac can be seen at one of the consoles in a console cafe. He's wearing the same clothes he showed up in. He's not so happy about it. ]

You guys really take these sectors literally, don't you? I literally live in the fire sector. It's everywhere. And gives off no heat. So, that's weird.

Also, internet cafes. Making a comeback. [ But, getting to the point. ] So, I have a few questions. Anyone can answer since this reaches everyone. Who would've thought, privacy, being an antiquated idea. [ Is something antiquated if it's not in the past but in another universe? So. ] Any modern clothing around here? I'd take anything in a V-neck. A sensible sweater. I like stripes. [ And scarves. Something decidedly not Chinese. ]

And does anybody think it's completely ridiculous that we're living on a giant turtle? Anybody? [ Bueller? ]

Also, policy on guests. I have friends [ friend, and one Stiles ] here and I'm pretty sure I have the nicest digs out of everyone. It's my place, right? All two stories? [ All his? If so, it's an amazing change of pace. ] Also. Cooking lessons. Pretty much realizing I can't. And this suite has a bitchin kitchen.

Also, I saw a guy advertise himself to get a job. Help with some kind of work. I feel like I should get a job. Earn my really nice keep. [ Seriously, that suite! ]

And finally, anyone ever think life can't get any worse and then it just does? [ That last one might be a rhetorical question. Though, it is a little good not to be surrounded by darachs and alphas. ] Funny how that works. But, hey, glad to know it's not me.

Oh. Yeah. I'm Isaac. [ He gives a quick wave and a closed mouth smile. ]

...Yeah, I'm done being a dick. You done being a dick?

forever.

[bereavements]

Wasn't aware I was being a dick.

[skybluejeep]

You were being a little bit of a dick.

[bereavements]

The sooner you understand why I can't tell you what was going on before I got here, the sooner I'll probably be less than a dick. [ While he makes no promises, it's true. ] I don't dislike you, Stiles.

[skybluejeep]

[HNNNGH god damn it stop being logical Isaac.]

...Dude? You've always been a little bit of a dick, even before all of this turtle world, future shit.

[bereavements]

Fine. I've always been a little bit of a dick. Which means I always will be. Can't do anything about that, can I?

[ Also, you're one to talk. ]

[skybluejeep]

Yes, you can. You don't have to be a dick. You can be a good guy who doesn't go looking for power like you so obviously did.

You know? There's being born into greatness, and having greatness thrust upon you, and then being a dick.

[bereavements]

Remind me why I'm even talking to you right now? [ Because, wow, who's being the dick here? Somebody has pent up Isaac Lahey frustration. Maybe you should make an appointment with the guidance counselor. ]

[skybluejeep]

Beeeecause Scott would give us both those stupid puppy eyes when he realized we weren't getting along?

[Sorry but somebody who turned down an Alpha's bite will always give the side-eye to somebody who went looking for it.]

[bereavements]

So? I said I didn't dislike you, I didn't say we were friends. Maybe you're stuck on last year but I've moved on. Literally, if you can't tell. And so have you. So, if you want to leave it in the past, fine. If not, enjoy your life on the turtle. And enjoy Scott's puppy eyes.

[skybluejeep]

[....God damn it. SIGH.]

...You're right. Sorry. I'm sorry. We're all in this together.

Look, just...I can't forget that you threatened to kill Lydia. Okay? I'm sorry.

[bereavements]

[ He only gets a raise of the eyebrow. And, an eyeroll, now. ]

Hey, High School Musical, even Scott gets that Derek gave me orders. She could've been the kanima. We didn't know. You didn't even know. Do you want me to apologize for that? Fine. Sorry for trying to kill Lydia Martin. [ Better? ] What's with your obsession with her, anyway? Anything ever come of that?

[skybluejeep]

[PSSHT. That gets a spazz-flail movement, shaking his head rapidly and raising both his hands in disbelief. And he grits his teeth to stop it, tilting his head and huffing out a breath before he speaks.]

I've only been in love with her for most of my life? Way before you were in the picture. Even if she had been the Kanima, the solution wasn't to kill her. Just like it wasn't to kill Jackson.

...Okay I never thought I'd make that particular argument for sparing Jackson's life.

[bereavements]

[ You started it, Stilinski.

You're retreading history he lived through. ]

And yet you did.

[skybluejeep]

[Hey. This is stuff that needs to come out, since it never has before.]

All right, fine. I'm sorry. I'll drop it. I accept your apology.

Okay? We cool?

[bereavements]

[ Right, whatever. Hash this out, and then they can be ninja turtles? ]

Yeah. We're cool. So, what've you been up to? For two weeks?

[skybluejeep]

[He so calls being Michelangelo. ....Who might actually be roaming around this place?]

Basically? Trying to find anybody who'll hire a seventeen year old with no practical job experience. My money is running reaaaaaally low. And playing Animal Crossing, since I brought my 3DS with me and there's no other shows or games available.

If I'd known I was gonna be stranded with no entertainment, I would have brought my X-Box. I still haven't finished Skyrim.

[bereavements]

[ What? Really? ]

So, it's not easy to get work here? [ An eyebrow goes up at Animal Crossing. ]

What's Skyrim? [ Never played it! ] I didn't even have my phone with me. It was in the cradle.

[skybluejeep]

[Yeah. Really.]

More like the guys who run the markets aren't exactly desperate for a teenager to come in and help out. I don't know. Maybe I'm being too picky.

.........Dude, you never played Skyrim? Seriously?

[bereavements]

Have you been offered anything?

No. I've never played Skyrim.

[skybluejeep]

Nope. I was told I needed to work, but...yeah. Not really happening yet.

I think I'm going to start the turtle's first television network. We have computers, we have webcams, we have internet cafes, I'm gonna be a huge movie mogul and distribute things over the network.

[bereavements]

It'll happen, then?

Good luck with that.

SEE? SEE? MICHELANGELO. TOLD YOU.

[skybluejeep]

It'll be amazing, you'll be like, hey, I want in on this, I can win the turtle equivalent of an Oscar.

RIGHT RIGHT.

[bereavements]

... You mean, Emmy? The Emmy's are for TV shows. And networks. Reality shows.

[skybluejeep]

...I reject your reality and substitute my own. TV stars can now win Oscars.
