[Isaac’s face appears on the device, looking troubled and confused. He scratches the back of his head pensively while thinking of the right words to say.]

Uh, hey, I guess? I literally just got here, wherever here is, and I’m kinda lost. If anyone could help me get back home it’d be great. [He sighs]

There’s a lot going on back home and I’m worried about my p- [He cuts the word off] My friends.

I mean, there has to be some way to get back, right? Even though I don’t remember how I got here...

[He’s quite clearly at a loss. Its been a while since he had to deal with things by himself and he finds himself caught off guard by the sudden feeling that he was lacking something he didn’t realise he was relying so heavily on. He drops his arm, taking his face momentarily out of sight while breathing deeply, trying to come to some kind of decision of where to go, what to do when he catches a familiar scent, one that he’s had to track before.

Suddenly his face comes back into view, some degree of nervous excitement spanning across his features, after all if he was right then that means he wasn’t totally alone.]

This might sound weird but uh, Stiles... are you here?

[He stares into the screen of the communicator as if trying to will the other boy into existence because if Stiles was here, and Isaac definitely knew that scent then that meant that other people could be here, his pack.

He wouldn’t risk howling, not right now at least in the unfamiliar territory but it was something he kept in the back of his mind while heading in the direction of the nearest building.]

He ... okay he might ask because he asked me.

[ EVERYONE SHOULD WATCH DOCTOR WHO, GOD. THEIR LIVES WOULD BE EASIER. ]

He's asking. He doesn't like not knowing if everyone's okay. [God damn hero-wolf.]

[ Lol whoops, Stiles meant Derek. Guess how much has changed, Isaac. ]

Just ... avoid. Avoiding's good. Avoiding keeps everyone safe and sane.

[outofthefreezer]

Because avoiding all of the people I know is such a great solution.

[Consider him half on board.]

No bro, like, avoid the conversation! Take up obnoxious humming. Start talking about gardening. Do your thang but keep the future all buttoned up.

[Isaac nods while mentally rejection all of those apparent suggestions.]

That works I guess, why aren't you interested?

[studmuffin]

Because I'm done with feeling -. [ Useless. ] What could I do, huh? Mentally form a plan of attack knowing that I'm going to instantly forget it the minute I leave?

[outofthefreezer]

That's uh, what I was thinking... I mean it seemed like a good idea until Scott told me it didn't work that way.

[studmuffin]

Yeah, he's new but he's got the basics down. But basically there's no point?

[outofthefreezer]

I figured. [Whatever though he was the worst at planning anyway.] So you've been here for a year? Anything interesting I should know..?

[studmuffin]

No. [ Oh my god he has got to stop being so suspicious. ] I mean, everything's been pretty normal. As normal as living in a cursed City can be.

[outofthefreezer]

[Well that was quick, Stiles.]

Oh-kay... [Definitely drew that word out deliberately]

[studmuffin]

What?

[ HE DOESN'T WANT TO SLEEP WITH DEREK !] So, do you have questions?

( video | private )

[outofthefreezer]

Nothing...

[He takes a moment.] No I think I'm fine for now, there'll probably be questions later. I mean I don't know the first thing about this place, or what there is...

[studmuffin]

I'll - uh - I'll let you get settled okay? If you need me just use the device okay?

[ AND LO. END FEED. ]
