[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.

[ He fights the urge to wrap his arms around her. He's keeping things from Stiles. Will he be able to from Erica? He tries to work up a smile but his nervousness betrays that attempt. He knows she can tell something is up. He needs to come up with something if he's going to lie but nothing is coming to mind. If she starts asking questions, he doesn't know what he'd say.

He steps inside, looking around her suite. It's not as nice as his. But nobody's is. It's nice, though. Rustic. He turns around to face her. ]

Nice. You should see my suite. Luxury all the way.

Yeah? Maybe I'll drop in sometime then.

[There's just a bit of her usual tone to that. Not quite light, a little sly, implicating perhaps something more, but it rings false this time. She wants to act the way she usually does around Isaac, but she knows there's some sort of time discrepancy and no one will talk to her about it. So all she can think is that as much as she knows this is Isaac she also knows it's not quite the Isaac that she knows so it's complicated.

Erica brushes past him to close the door and while she's there she catches his scent again and it dredges up all of those feelings of pack. Pausing, she decides to give in and just wraps her arms around his middle. She can't know what's happening with her arrival or the time difference between them but for five seconds at least she can hug him because she doesn't know.]

Derek and Boyd aren't here? It's just us?

Let me know, because it might not be my week.

[ Considering he, Stiles, and Scott are sharing suites.

He stands for a second once she embraces him before giving in and wrapping his arms around her. He can. So, he's going to. ]

Just you, me, Scott, and Stiles.

[Brow furrowing, she pulls back slightly. Stiles refuses to tell her what's happened between her point in time and theirs. Scott's playing dumb. She looks at Isaac with some uncertainty.]

You three got close even before you arrived here, didn't you?

[She hopes Isaac will explain at least some of what she's out of the loop on. At this point she doesn't even need all of the details so much as an idea of where in the hell their pack stands with Scott's group at this point.]

[ He lets go, stepping back. ]

Stiles and I aren't close. [ He tolerates Stiles. ] But, I moved in with Scott. Before I arrived here. Derek kicked me out. [ He tries to frame it a certain way, tries to explain what happened without explaining. ] Scott and I are good. We're really good. We're friends. [ Really, really close, good, sort of cuddling friends. ]

[Erica can't mask her reaction to hearing Derek kicked Isaac out. Disbelief. Her first instinct is to ask what he did to make Derek do that, but it's with shame she pushes that thought away. She had a harder time imagining Isaac would do anything to earn that.]

He was there for you when Derek kicked you out?

[It's the first she's heard about what's going to happen in the future, and the last thing she's going to do anything to discourage him from talking.]

[ He hadn't earned anything and even if Derek did it to protect him, to keep him as far away from the alphas - he could've done it a different way. He has a whole lot of pent up anger towards Derek. But, he keeps that all in. ]

I had nowhere else to go. Scott had helped us with Boyd and Cora and he beat Gerard. [ The thoughts sort of have to do with one another. It's a strange thought process. But, that's how it comes out. ] And he helped me prank the alphas. [ He smirks to himself. ] Yeah. Scott was there for me when Derek wasn't.

[Well, it's a relief to hear that Gerard is beaten. That Scott helps Boyd earns him points as well, as far as Erica is concerned. It means something that he's there if Derek isn't.

But she doesn't understand the circumstances, doesn't understand how. Or a few things for another matter.]

Who is Cora and who are the alphas? There's more than one?

Cora is Derek's sister. She didn't die in the big Hale house fire. She was in South America. The Alphas are a pack of alphas who come to town the next school year. Alpha wolves who've -- banded together under one big bad alpha wolf.

[She stares.]

So let me make sure I've got this straight: The Kanima gets taken care of. Gerard gets taken care of too. Derek finds his sister who he didn't even know had survived the fire, and a pack of alphas comes into town...for what, exactly?

For Derek. [ And he doesn't know, but, for Scott. ] It's a long story. The point is, Scott's a good person and a really good friend. And I trust him. With my life.

[She doesn't take his words lightly from him. They both have their own reasons to distrust anyone and everyone until proven otherwise. That he vouches for Scott means something. It doesn't mean she's going to be all buddy-buddy with Scott now, but she might give him the opportunity to prove it himself.]

Alright. You trust him with your life. What about me? Do you still trust me too?

[She's hoping the question is distanced enough from matters of timelines enough that he'll answer, and she wants that answer to be yes. Though, if it's no then it might explain why everyone's acting so damned weird around her.]

[ He sighs, wanting to say he does and then he realizes he does. ]

Yeah. I do.

[Tension easing slightly, she nods, sighs. Takes a few steps back so they can actually go sit down now.]

But you're not going to tell me anything either are you? Stiles is worried about a time paradox or something and won't say a damn thing.

[It's clear from her tone of voice that she's not holding out hope that Isaac is going to say any differently, but she has to ask anyway. Just in case she's wrong.]

[ He instinctively follows her steps. ]

We're keeping something from him. [ He says that quickly, to try and make her feel better. ] You're not the only one. It's just better that we don't. [ He tries not to make it sound like some grave event. ] But, a lot's happened. Things changed. I guess I... I got a handle on my wolf. [ He goes to sit down on her couch. It's not as good as his. Not that this is the time to care about that. ] I can't just do what I want.

[Erica feels slightly better that they're keeping something from Stiles as well, but that only means Stiles may be making himself feel better keeping things from her as well.]

I'm glad you got a handle on your wolf.

[That much she means at least, and sounds it. However:]

But if you're going to keep things from me, I want your promise that you will tell me if it becomes necessary. If it's something I need to know? Something I should know, you three can't keep it from me.

If it becomes necessary, if it has to be, I'll be the one to tell you. And I won't hesitate. But, trust me that you don't need to know. Okay?

[She doesn't like it at all, but she nods, accepting it. This coming from Isaac, she trusts. Hates it, but is willing to accept it.]

Fine. Is there anything else you can tell me at least?

[A slow smile spreads on her face.]

Wouldn't mind having something to hold back from the others if they've got things they won't tell me.

Stiles' dad has been kidnapped. If it evens things out, then, that's something that's true. And Scott and Allison are broken up so it's probably a good idea not to mention her. And Stiles is still a virgin and very concerned about it.

[Stiles' dad being kidnapped is rather serious, and if what they're keeping from her is on the same level, well, that's concerning. Scott and Allison breaking up isn't as serious, but oh, isn't that interesting. She'd probably have something to say about it to Scott if Isaac hadn't just asked her not to.

Isaac mentioning Stiles is still a virgin, however, makes her grin.]

I get the feeling that's something he really wouldn't want me to know. Why is he so concerned?

[Which of course is why she's glad Isaac told her.]

Because there are sacrifices being made. Three virgins were killed. But, the darach moved on from them so he's safe as far as we know. [ Before she asks. ] A darach's a dark druid,

[Oh. Well that's not quite so entertaining. Especially considering the fact that she doesn't have much in the way of experience herself.

Waitasecond...]

Who did this darach kill, exactly?

Random people. We didn't know any of them. Except for Harris.

Harris is dead?

[Goddamn, how many school staff members have been offed at this point?]

Yep. [ Sorry. He nods. ]
