[ Give him a second to double check, yes, yes it's on now. Cool. He's not used to this. He was never a big face-timer. He's used to talking on a phone. This is sort of like a webcam. He holds it out, making sure his face is in frame. He hopes he gets a good angle. He's also in one of the grocery stores. Look at the produce behind him. ]

Hey, is there an animal clinic or, a vet in the city? [ Since his best firend is no longer sick, he needs more of a routine. Herego, clinic. ] I know there's a hospital. But, is there an animal hospital? And I heard that someone wanted to build a school but never did. What do teenagers do here? [ Besides, drink underage? No parental supervision! ]

Also, anybody who saw the rabbit. He wasn't lying. The cures. They're different. For everyone. I helped my best friend. Does anybody need me to do anything? [ Unless it's over. But, he's available! ]

[derek hale and stiles stilinski]

I'm stocking up on food. Any requests? [ He's used to buying for him and his mom. Or, ordering in. But, he's living with them. It's the least he can do, right? ]

I was sixteen when I first got here and I just sort of... hung around for a bit? But I eventually started working.

[Hi, Scott. This is the first time Ginny's actually speaking to you and not just texting things. So maybe it's a bit odd that she acts like she knows you. And while she does still sound a bit rough, she's gotten much better.]

[ But nobody turned her into a newt! Sounds like she has gotten better. As for her voice, he doesn't exactly know who this is until she tells him. But, he'll be friendly. The friendliest. Stiles is going to be all right. It's a good day, Ginny! ]

I've worked for a year now. Feels weird not to. [ Even just for a few days. Even with werewolf drama, he's managed to make his clinic hours. He's that responsible. ] Where do you work?

I was a waitress for a bit at the Blue Light. It's this lovely jazz club and bar. Then a friend of mine left his clothing boutique to me and another friend and when she left, I kept it on, and I'm still overseeing the place. My brothers also opened up this joke shop and when they went home, my other brother took over, but he left too, so I'm running that place as well.

[Pause.]

I, er, keep busy. I'd much rather play sports professionally but that isn't going to happen in the City, so I'm doing all that instead.

[ The cereal is now diamonds. ]

You literally aged a billion years when I was passed out, didn't you? [ He sounds so judgemental. But hey, at least he's back in the serial killer shack. ]

[affectioning]

[ Now it's tickets to that thing you like! ]

All we had was ramen. I thought I'd contribute. [ Also, way to thank him for his best friend performance. ] Also, I'll always be older than you. In every dimension.

[ MARVEL MOVIES? ]

Shut up, soon I'll be old and suave and awesome. [ No. ] Can you like get, sugar. Sugar. Hospitals are against sugar. I need it. I'll be your best friend forever.

Kids your age are usually pleased as punch they don't have to go to school. [ When Bucky was Scott's age he had already left. ]

[ He's heard about these elusive snow days. But, most of the time, he didn't get days off. Breaks, of course. But, they included hanging with Stiles. Or, working more. To help his mom out. ]

School's important, right? [ Good grades and good... grades? ]

[yourbestguysgun]

[ He makes a noise, a soft snort of sound. ] Maybe in the future it is. In my day we stayed in school to keep us off the streets until we could get a job.

[ Looking a lot better than he would have done the last time they spoke, if he hadn't been using text, Jim's at the Hall of the Missing. Seated on a bench in civilian clothing, he clicks the feed to private immediately; who knows what Khan decides to pay attention to. ]

Scott, right? Stiles' friend. I've got a request, if you wouldn't mind hearing it out — it's Jim, by the way, Jim Kirk. We spoke last time when I was sick.

[video; private]

[affectioning]

[ Not... who he expected to respond. How great is this? A request from Jim Kirk? ]

Right. I remember. Hey Jim. [ Keeping it cool. Where is he? He doesn't recognize the background - pictures. Is he at an art gallery? ] You're feeling better, too. [ GOOD! ]

[video; private]

[hischair]

Hey. [ His smile widens a touch, because who doesn't like warm receptions? Not this guy. ] Look, uh. This is going to sound weird, I know I don't have any real connection to you guys and I don't want to spread a mass panic, but I thought I should warn you that there's a dangerous criminal from my world here. He's called John Harrison and I'd appreciate it if you'd ask Stiles to keep quiet about me and my crew. Not mentioning us by name or profession, that sort of thing.

I wouldn't want anything to happen to either of you. I know Stiles is a good guy, you probably are too if you're his friend.

Whatever you like.

There's a shelter.

Private;

[affectioning]

You don't have any preferences? A favorite food?

[ He blinks down, as he sets bread in the cart. ]

I thought I had shelter. [ Wait. Wait. ] You mean an animal shelter?

Private;

[lupusalpha]

Yeah, like an animal shelter. It's near the Welcome Center.

[ no way is he risking khan hearing his voice across the network and being lured by it. ]

There's an animal shelter near the Welcome Center. Can't miss it.

[affectioning]

[ it's called private, mccoy. ]

I found that out. Do you know who runs it?

permatext »

[medicos]

Never found that out, actually. But the lady who runs the Welcome Center - Penny - can help you out.

[anunluckypenny]

Wait... there was a rabbit?

[affectioning]

[ You've caught him as he's loading up the trunk, Penny. ]

I thought someone said something about a rabbit. I think I misread a text. But, it was a something, right? Something told everyone about the essence rites?

[anunluckypenny]

[Sorry!]

Oh! Yeah, that was a dog, I think. Sorry; thought I'd missed one of the talking animals.

Voice, Private to Scott; HE KNOWS YOU'RE HERE NOW KIRK

[nooniensingh]

I am glad to hear your friend is well again, young man.

Private Video; YOU DON'T EVEN GO HERE

[affectioning]

Thanks. Yeah. The talking dog was right after all. [ WHAT ARE THESE SENTENCES HE'S UTTERING? ] It was John, right?

voice;

[skintoskin]

I don't know if there's a vet, but anything's possible here.

I don't miss school. Got a part-time job eventually.

voice;

[affectioning]

There isn't one. [ And it really is. ]

Where do you work?
