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.

[ Isaac catches it effortlessly, he holds his out likewise. Lightsaber duel, commence! Except, it definitely shatters. ]

I don't know. Scott's at his place right now. I don't think we're living together. And Stiles -- I don't think we're all going to be doing that again. Stiles may not be able to hear everything ... [ It'd just feel squicky. ]

[unfettered]

[It would be really squicky, which is why Erica isn't going to be sleeping over with the guys for sure.]

Can't blame you. I guess we're just going to have to throw parties every once in a while to hang out or something.

[Erica grabs a couple lights and spins to shatter them both against the building again.]

Feels weird though, doesn't it? Living alone like we're...[adults.]

[bereavements]

We can hang out other times. Afternoons. Early nights...

[ Grabbing two, Isaac sends them flying and they hit the back door. OOPS. He stops, listening for movement or someone investigating... ]

Yeah I - guess. It's not too different for me. Living with Derek is like living alone. He's there and he's mute or he's not there at all. I don't miss sleeping on the floor, though.

[unfettered]

[Erica pauses as well, listening for movement inside the building and...oh, yeah, it sounds like someone's coming so she's just going to carefully set that light down to see if they come outside or not.]

He made you sleep on the floor?

[Seriously? What in the hell happens to their pack after the rave? Isaac of all people deserved to have at least a bed after dealing with a shitty home life with his father.]

[bereavements]

There was no other bed and Cora got the couch.

[ It's a sore subject for him, too. The footsteps stop and then retreat. ]

[unfettered]

[That's messed up. Erica purses her lips together briefly before poking a toe at the light. She's glad he's got the really nice suite after hearing this. After knowing everything else he'd been through. He deserved it.]

Well if he shows up maybe there will be a suite shortage and you can make him sleep on the floor in your place instead.

[bereavements]

I won't be doing that.

[unfettered]

[And maybe that's the difference between them. If someone had done something to her, Erica's still at the point where turnabout being fair play is a legitimate thing.]

I guess not.

[bereavements]

He'd get his own place. We all have one.

[unfettered]

Yeah.

[Erica wrinkles her nose a moment before looking down the alley they'd come down. It had been good to be hanging out with Isaac like they used to, felt a bit like back home, but somehow every conversation just seems to remind her of what's different. Of what goes wrong in her future.]

Getting hungry. You want to grab a bite?

[bereavements]

Yes. [ He tosses aside the light in his hands, letting it shatter before heading back the way they came. ]

Feeling adventurous enough to try the seafood?

[unfettered]

[Erica makes a face and heads out with him.]

Going to have to eventually probably, considering where we live.

[In the middle of a giant ocean, yep.]

[bereavements]

Can't be that bad. Can it?

[unfettered]

I don't know, what if they have weird three-eyed fish and shapeshifting crustaceans?
