[outofthefreezer]

[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.]

Comments

[affectioning]

[ Not asking. ] It's up here. [ His mom'll be glad he's safe. And here. And safe. ]

[outofthefreezer]

[Isaac just grins, following alongside Scott.]

Its nice that you got a place so quickly. [Read : Isaac has to do none of the integration, Scott handles everything.]

[affectioning]

My mom insisted. She didn't like living in the forest. [ Or, on Derek Hale's terms, in his house. ] Finding an apartment here isn't hard. I think all that matters is bedroom count. [ Holding the door open. ]

I asked if there was a clinic or a vet's office and people pointed me to the animal shelter. When I realized there wasn't one, Dr. McCoy asked me if I was interested in changing that. Things just... [ word search ] escalated from there.

[outofthefreezer]

Why, what's wrong with the rooms? [He crosses through into the house past Scott's arm, still listening over his shoulder.]

Dr McCoy? At least they have healthcare here? [Even though the name does ring a faint bell.]

[affectioning]

[ Building, Isaac. Apartment building! They have a first floor apartment. Conveniently with a few vacant ones around them in case people from home/Derek/whomever want to be in the vicinity. ]

Nothing. I mean, how many bedrooms you get. Three. Four. I hear there are five bedrooms? [ A shrug. Probably in a giant house somewhere. He also closes the door behind him and follows. ]

They have a hospital. [ He doesn't know about healthcare. ] Hopefully, they'll have an animal clinic. [ A smile as he fishes out his keys. ] And, Dr. McCoy. [ He turns back. ] As in that one.

[outofthefreezer]

[Oops. Building. He follows Scott into the building, paying attention to what he was saying]

Its not like you need that many rooms? [He suddenly realises where he thinks he's heard that before.]

Dude, isn't that the guy out of Star Trek... [He understood the alternate dimension thing, but what.]

[affectioning]

[ And as he puts the keys in the lock, he turns. ]

Yeah, but don't mention it. They're just people here. Him, Captain Kirk. Chris Pine Captain Kirk. Some of their crew. I talked to Sulu the other day. [ And he turns the lock,, finally. ]

[outofthefreezer]

Wow... [Because that was fascinating and Chris Pine was attractive, he wondered who else might be here.]

But uh, I'll just you know act surprised like I don't know them, it'd be kinda weird to announce they were in a movie.

[affectioning]

Don't do that. If Stiles can manage not to do that, we can. [ And Stiles met them before Scott. ] But, they're friends.

[outofthefreezer]

[He nods] It'll be easy, especially if Stiles can do it. [Because Stiles is nerd king.]

[affectioning]

And we're friends. [ Which is cool. ] Also, you don't have to feel obligated to stay with me and my mom. If you want to stay with Derek, we won't take it personally.

[outofthefreezer]

I'll uh, make decisions later? I mean I'll have to talk to Derek too.

[Read: Isaac will tread carefully until he knows exactly what the situation is and someone will tell him what to do. Or Derek will throw a glass at his head again and he'll be right over.]

[affectioning]

[ And he opens the door finally. Longest walk ever, right? He meant it, though. It's Isaac's choice. He better not. ]

Mom? [ He calls out. Look at their sparse furniture! ]

[mamanurse]

[She looks up from finishing up dinner, and smiles.]

Hey! Come on in, boys. Hi, Isaac.

[outofthefreezer]

[He smiles widely, there was something different about seeing her in person.]

Hey Mrs McCall.

[affectioning]

[ Scott closes the door behind him, and bounds over to the kitchen to see if there's anything he can do to help. ]

Need anything?
