four ☂ video ☁ alright don't worry even if things end up a bit too heavy

[bereavements]

[ When the feed comes on, Isaac is giving as close a smile as he can. He's not a grinning guy, so it's somewhere between a smirk and a genuine smile. He's also back in his own body. It's a good week. ]

Question. Is anyone sick of having to be in one place to check messages and send them? I don't know about you guys, but I miss phones. And texting. Texting made everything so easy. [ Not to mention, it kept people safe. Instantaneous danger alert, natch. ] Anybody able to come up with some sort of phone prototype? I'd ask if magic can convert a phone or something - cause there's magic here - but, mine is still in the cradle of the car I was driving. So, I want the next best thing. I'd even say some sort of weird telepathy thing could be cool but nobody should be inside my mind. And I don't care what you're all thinking.

[ Also, gross, being inside someone's mind. Switching gears. ]

Also. I feel like my circle of social interaction is limited. No offense to people from Beacon Hills, but I'm used to the small town high school atmosphere. Even being infamous was better than this. So, I'm looking for some friends. I have one really, [ A beat as he considers this ] really good friend. [ Because, what is he going to define right now? ] And I think I had a friend who I pissed off and then there's Erica but there should be more, right? That's what being a teenager is about? Friends and stuff? Since I can't go to school, I want the school experience.

Also, sports. I play lacrosse - if anybody knows what I'm talking about. And thanks to gym class, I've played everything from badminton (no) to basketball (sure, I'm tall) - anybody into organizing something? I even ran cross-country. So, finding some guys to run with. Could be cool.

[ He has all this excess energy, sue him. ]

Also - parties. Specifically, raves? Clubs? Anything like that here?

[ 30% hackable - Stiles Stilinski

We should talk. Catch up. I uh - I got something for you last week.

[ 30% hackable - Scott McCall

I know I called you a friend. You're like my best friend. I also know we've crossed into, you know, more territory. I just - don't know what you thought about me being full disclosure. I can get back on the network and shout it to the rooftops. I've just never been that guy. Or, had the chance to be. Anyway, uh, yeah. [ He blushes and looks away. ] Yeah.

[ 30% hackable - Erica Reyes

We're overdue for catch up. And I need to tell you something.

[ end hacks

[ And then, he turns the camera back onto the public feed. ]

I know why we were brought here and the name we can't say and all but, am I the only person who thinks this place doesn't suck? Discuss.

I wasn't serious...

[ Scott looks embarrassed when Isaac brings up the candles, sitting across from Isaac. ] I thought I'd make the effort. [ A romantic effort. Not that it takes much effort to light a couple of candles but it's the thought that counts. Scott starts to eat. ] Did you get all your questions answered on the network?

[action]

[bereavements]

I know.

[ But making Scott blush is fun. It's becoming a sport. ] Enough. I'm going running early tomorrow morning with a girl named Abigail? But, also -- another guy I don't remember the name of. And he might be able to get us lacrosse equipment.

[action]

[mccallmemaybe]

[ If it were a sport, Isaac would win a gold medal. ] Some guy has a secret supply of lacrosse equipment?

[ Scott will admit he's missed lacrosse. Crosscountry could be pretty boring. ] Will you be nominating yourself as captain?

Re: [action]

[bereavements]

[ :D ] He can make it. Or he thinks he can.

[ It's just running. ] Think I could pull it off?

[action]

[mccallmemaybe]

Maybe he could make enough equipment for two teams. [ That's if enough people are interested in playing a match. ]

I think you've got the potential.

[action]

[bereavements]

Or I can track down Eve again and she can. She's the one who made most of my clothing. Out of, like, matter.

Coming from a captain, that means a lot. Teach me everything you know?

[action] I think that character dropped :(

[mccallmemaybe]

Co-captain. [ Wait... ] Or not. [ Since Jackson left for London. ]

I don't know anything about being a captain. It just... happened.

[action] Aaaand sad now

[bereavements]

Or not.

You've been playing lacrosse longer. It counts.

[action] me too, she was gonna make scott a motorbike

[mccallmemaybe]

Well, if you want captain advice, don't be a dick like Jackson.

If you want lacrosse advice, you don't need it because you're a werewolf which makes you automatically good at it.

[action] SOB

[bereavements]

... Right. Werewolf perks. [ Taking a bite now. Chew. Chew. ] Mmm. [ He likes it! ]

[action] I KNOW

[mccallmemaybe]

That's a good 'mmm', right? [ Please tell him it is. ]

[action] never leave me

[bereavements]

[ He nods, swallowing. ] It's great, Scott. [ It's not Mexican... hah. ]

[action] never <3

[mccallmemaybe]

[ Scott breathes a sigh of relief. ] Good... There's ice cream for dessert.

[action] never <3

[bereavements]

I can't say no to ice cream. [ Not that he wants to. ] Are you for dessert, too? Or, dessert to dessert? Optional?

[action]

[mccallmemaybe]

If you want me to be on the menu, I can be.

[action]

[bereavements]

I might have to require it. [ A smirk. ] Hey, so I uh - Stiles and I made up. We're good now.

[action]

[mccallmemaybe]

Stiles told me. I'm really glad. It sucks watching two people you really care about fighting... [ Scott frowns briefly, thinking of his parents. ]

[action]

[bereavements]

Yeah. Sorry about that. He also brought up some interesting, uh, points. About us. Not you and me. Wolves. Werewolves here.

[action]

[mccallmemaybe]

How many are there?

[action]

[bereavements]

You, me, Erica, -- I forgot his name. This other guy. He's open about it, doesn't hide anything. I know why we do. But, here - why are we keeping everything under wraps?

[action]

[mccallmemaybe]

I dunno... I guess I've gotten so used to keeping it a secret that it's force of habit now? Plus you don't know how people will react to it... It's why I never wanted my mom to know. I thought she'd be scared of me. And she was at first. She wouldn't even look at me.

[action]

[bereavements]

She was scared of you? [ He didn't know that. ] I don't think people will react like that here. [ His dad had reacted like that, thrown the glass and seen his wound close. He'd run away then... ]

[action]

[mccallmemaybe]

Yeah. She saw my face when I turned... She didn't see me, she just saw a monster... but it's okay now.

You can tell whoever you want, just be careful about it, okay? If you told someone and it put you in danger... I don't know what I'd do. [ He'd freak out. Protect Isaac with his life. ]

[action]

[bereavements]

Yeah, it is. [ He knows it is. He's lived there. Or, did. Still does? ]

I will be. I'll tell them if I feel like it. And if I ... I'll tell you if I tell anyone. Does anybody know you are?

[action]

[mccallmemaybe]

No... I was thinking about telling Bianca. She got left the clinic when the doctor who owned it left. I just haven't got round to it yet... How did your boss react?
