derek's gone bck to beacon hills. his name is in the hall of the missing. figured ppl'd want to know.

What the fuck -? [ He actually hits the record button by accident, his message to the Beacon Hills bunch ( minus Isaac who already knew ) relayed and his job done. Mostly he'd been looking forward to drowning his sorrows in ice-cream and bad kung-fu movies.

However, that doesn't seem to match the thin thread of almost panic in his voice. At first you just get a close-up of a denim pocket and then Stiles is swinging his device up to the full technicoloured glory of the clown. It's watching him from across the street, mouth like a big red slash and the balloon clutched tightly in its hand. Stiles audibly makes a noise as it reaches up its other hand to stick a pin in the soft, plastic side of the balloon, the device view jerking as Stiles jumps.

The clown turns and Stiles huffs out a breath, panning along as it walks away. ] Okay, not cool. So not cool. Clowns? Seriously? Why?

They pretend to be happy so they can lure you in and kill you.

Clowns.

[studmuffin]

Clowns.

[ Save him, Miss Saya. ]

[synanthrope]

I don't particularly like clowns.

[studmuffin]

Running and screaming is a totally manly thing to do, right?

[ He receives the text first, of course, taking a moment to stop painting to read it. He doesn't know what to say? On the one hand, one less ally, but he's not exactly unhappy. How does he feel? That doesn't matter, Stiles is going to be bothered. For whatever reason. ]

Maybe he'll be back soon. You went home that one time.

[ There, reassurance. Then, as he turns the text function off, he sees Stiles. ]

Stiles, you hit record. [ But, oh. Right, he found the clowns. ] I don't think they're that bad. One made me a giraffe and wished me a happy birthday.

[studmuffin]

Two times.

[ There's something in his voice, that whatever reason creeping in. He tries to shrug it off, it helps that the terrifying clown-ness is right there in front of him. ]

I think that one wants to kill me. I'm getting away from here before I find out what balloon animal he's going to make me suffocate on.

[affectioning]

They seem pretty harmless? [ Oh, Stiles and your clown fear. ] I passed by a pie fight, though, so watch out for flying pie.

Until they force you into their small little cars, Scott. Until then. [ God, he hates clowns. So he's moving as quickly as he can, heading back to the woods. ]

...are you okay?

[studmuffin]

[ He's going to call this face The Lydia Face. ]

There are terrifying clowns on the loose. I'm not okay with the terrifying clowns.

[lefthandedgenius]

Just ignore them. Unless they try to actually hurt you.

[studmuffin]

I can't just ignore them!

[trenchknives]

Yeah, I gotta admit, this is...

[A frown.]

Disconcertin'.

[studmuffin]

[ Even gangsters get worried by clowns - Stiles is 1000000% happier now. ]

I feel like I should go buy a gun.

Re: video

[trenchknives]

[Not liking clowns seems to one of those universal constants.]

You don't already have a gun?

[mortemscintilla]

At least they're not wielding chainsaws.

[ That happened once before. ]

[studmuffin]

Why are you trying to terrify me even more?

[mortemscintilla]

I'm serious!

This happened to me once before!

[Clowns, she can handle. Stiles needs some support.]

Are you all right? You're going to stay with us for the night, please.

[ He thinks about saying no. Scott had been funny with him about Derek and he still doesn't know how far that runs. But Melissa is often kind and maybe he doesn't want to have to focus on anything but being himself. ]

i don't really wanna leave isaac by himself.

[ They're still not friends by any stretch of the imagination. But Stiles has kind of learnt a lot about pack in his year here. ]

And I don't want you and Isaac alone in the woods at night! Stiles, please.
