[Have a bombshell-blonde teen werewolf, Keeliai. She's dressed in the same outfit she wore to a rave and leaning both elbows on the console as she stares straight into the camera.

While she doesn't start by naming Isaac, Scott, and Stiles specifically, it likely obvious to them that her first statement is aimed in their direction.]

Boys, I know you're busy with your baking or whatever you're up to [what's up with that by the way?] but I'm here now so why don't you come out, come out, wherever you are?

[Ending with a sing-song voice, she addresses anyone else who might be paying attention to her feed.]

To the rest of you, that's one hell of a song and dance they do for you back at the palace, isn't it? Too bad it's probably full of lies or something.

[Her smile fades as she makes a face and gives a deliberate, dramatic sigh.]

So, anyone want to help a girl out and give me the 101 on place? Because this network doesn't have Google or WikiLeaks.

[ Honestly, he'd rather her be irritated with him than hurt her by telling her you know what.

He's also sensing the sarcasm in her reply but doesn't comment on it. ]

I'm okay... It could be worse, right? At least we're not a giant Kanima.

[Erica snorts.]

True. So what kind of trouble have you been getting into instead?

video;

[mccallmemaybe]

[ Trouble? Where does Scott begin... ] Stiles wandered off on his own into this realm of death. Isaac and I had to get him out. We all saw some pretty messed up things. [ They haven't really talked about it. It's an uncomfortable subject. ] Don't go exploring by yourself, okay? I don't want something like that happening again. [ Notice the leadership in his voice. ]

Then there was this party with ghosts and naked wrestling. Stiles got really drunk and kept talking about threesomes.

[unfettered]

[She notices the leadership in his voice, and sorry Scott, she's going to ignore that command because you can be damn sure she's going to give every bit of the city a nice long look.

She also doesn't comment on Stiles wandering into the realm of death. She wants information more than she wants to pry just yet.]

Sounds like one hell of a party I missed. Do they do that sort of thing often? Kidnap people and then wine, dine, and wrestle them?

video;

[mccallmemaybe]

[ Damn it Erica, at least explore with Isaac. He's just trying to look out for you. ]

Looks that way. I mean, I don't know if they wine, dine and wrestle us often but they definitely kidnap people a lot. New people keep showing up. Stiles got here a couple of weeks before me and Isaac showed up not long ago.

[Erica cocks her head to the side at that.]

And now that I'm here, you think we might see others from Beacon Hills popping up in a week or two?

video;

[mccallmemaybe]

Maybe... [ Scott suddenly thinks of seeing Boyd again. At least seeing Erica has prepared him for possibly seeing another dead person. ] Here's hoping everyone doesn't show up. [ There's some people he wouldn't mind being here, like Allison or his mom... and then there are people like Ms. Blake and Deucalion who he really doesn't want to join them. ]

video;

[unfettered]

Mm, true. I'd be just fine if Jackson didn't show up.

[Or her parents. They don't belong here, after all. They weren't up for fighting some big bad thing menacing a giant turtle city. Jackson she just didn't want to deal with because he was a homicidal lizard.]

Is there any logic to how people get picked?

video;

[mccallmemaybe]

Good thing Jackson's not the Kanima anymore... [ He casually mentions as though Erica is already knows this. ]

It's a pretty weird that out of all the people they could have brought from Beacon Hills, it's us. [ Who know each other. Three of which are werewolves. ]

[bereavements]

Hey, Scott. This is all really public.

video;

[mccallmemaybe]

[ Scott's still getting the hang of encryption. ] It's not like I mentioned the 'W' word?

video;

[bereavements]

[ He's right. And Scott's the ... uh, the alpha, basically. He knows. Sorry for calling you out, best bro. ]

video;

[unfettered]

There is no 'W' word as far as I know.

[Scott, come on.]

video;

[skybluejeep]

[SO MUCH FACEPALMING.]

Dude. What are you even babbling about? Are you drunk now?

video;

[mccallmemaybe]

[ Thanks for the input everyone, Scott really appreciates it :| ]

I wish I was.

video;

[unfettered]

What's the legal drinking age here anyway?

video;

[mccallmemaybe]

I dunno. Go to a bar and find out?

[ It's not like she can get drunk anyway so he doesn't feel bad about encouraging her.

Stiles, on the other hand, is banned from alcohol. ]

video;

[unfettered]

Think I will. Want to come with me when I go, Scott?

video;

[mccallmemaybe]

...Sure. [ To make sure she stays out of trouble. And he's also trying to get to know her better because all he really knows her as is as an in-your-face busty blonde... Not that he looks at her boobs or anything. Okay maybe a little bit but only because they're so out there. ]

...But not as a date.

video;

[unfettered]

[At least Scott's looked at them. God knows she can't get Stiles to look when she wants and those bustiers do a hell of a job drawing the attention of everyone else.

Leaning in, Erica's voice drops a bit as she looks at him.]

Are you sure? We could have a lot of fun, you know.

video;

[mccallmemaybe]

[ Aaand she's leaning in and showing her cleavage. Awesome. Scott's determined not to look. ]

You know what's really fun? Hanging out as friends. [ This is exactly the kind of attention he wants but from a certain curly-haired, scarf-loving werewolf instead. Fuck his life. ]

video;

[unfettered]

[Good luck with that whole, not-looking thing, Scott. She doesn't lean back, but she does pout just a little.]

Still not interested, hm? [She pauses a beat.] Alright. Come as a friend then. We'll still have fun just...not as much.

[skybluejeep]

Remind me to show you how to encrypt this stuff, bro. Sorry.

Unless you're ready to be out of the wolfy closet, like Lyall.

video; now encrypted 40% unhackable

[mccallmemaybe]

There's someone who's out of the closet about being a werewolf? But hunters could show up... I don't think we should tell anyone unless we really trust them.

[skybluejeep]

I kinda get the feeling that's not an issue here. I think? Anybody starts some shit, they gonna get they faces smashed by the Superhero brigade.

But I agree, keeping it on the DL is still the way to go.
