03 ☾ Return ☾Video

[outofthefreezer]

[Heeere's Isaaac.

The teenaged werewolf is back, he'd just turned a corner in the real world after being away for what seemed like a week or two for him. But really it was only a couple days since he'd been away from the City.

He seems faintly confused until everything comes rushes back and he realizes exactly where he is, his face is lacking any previous worry and there's a big smile on his face when he turns the feed on.

You can see buildings passing him as he walks through the City into the forest, heading for Derek's cabin.]

So guys, I'm back I guess? I mean I don't really remember leaving... [A small laugh]

So I was home, I'm here again though... not that I mind this time.

[>Private to Beacon Hills crowd]

If you're all still here, I'm back. I don't know where the rest of you were, with all the time-lines and whatever. But I guess we have things to talk about? Especially Scott, if you're seeing this...

[ Maybe the nail polish was premature. But, it's the city, today, curse-wise. So, he didn't get a chance in the matter. It must be a day of arrivals - which include re-arrivals. Scott, that's not a word. This City doesn't send anyone back for long, clearly. Not from Beacon Hills, anyway. ]

You're back. [ A smile. ] Is Stiles with you? [ It doesn't look like it. Maybe just him and his mom got sent back together. ] Allison's here, now. [ But, then he says that, continuing into a private feed. A beat. ] Especially me? Way to make me feel special. [ A smirk. ]

[Isaac grins at seeing his friend's face.]

Hey. Wait, Stiles is gone? [Because they left at the same time and Isaac had no idea, oops.] Allison's here? Wow, its like they're just pulling everyone through.

[He smiles, its almost a nervous look.] Yeah I mean, because you're an alpha, what does that even mean for us anymore?

[He stops, suddenly thinking]

Wait, is Derek here still?

[affectioning]

Right? And yeah, he left around the time you did. He's still gone. And Allison's -- maybe we're the key to getting everyone out. They're just assembling the Beacon Hills army. [ A smirk. ]

It means that nobody has a chance. You can all pack up and go home. [ Sorry, not sorry. It's nice, the tentative distance between them momentarily quashed. ]

He is. And he's still an alpha, too.

[He chuckles slightly at the idea.]

With his place? He'll be back in no time, he's probably just going through the same things we did.

So Derek's still from the past, then? That just makes things more difficult.

At least he'll be caught up. [ But, he wouldn't wish anything Stiles goes through on anyone. Between he, Allison, and Stiles - they have enough tragedy to fill a few Lifetime movies. ] Were you at school? The last thing I saw was you and Allison coming down the stairs. [ Laughing. Getting along. ]

Yeah. But, he knows how things end up. I told him how he saves Cora's life. I didn't tell him about our sacrifices. [ Which, come to think about it. ] Sorry for not filling you in. I thought ... [ It was better to keep them in the dark. ] But, things pretty much ended up good, right?

[ She glances down at her device with a tiny smile. ]

So that's why you weren't here to say hello.

[outofthefreezer]

[He grins.]

Yeah I was a little held up... But hey.

video;

[daggers]

But you've been here before? Scott sort of explained it all to me. Not that it makes any more sense.

[outofthefreezer]

Yeah I've uh, been here twice? I mean I only remember one time but apparently I was here before that too... [He doesn't help at all with the confusing nature.]

[mapmaker]

I didn't know that could happen. [ He sounds thoughtful, interested. ] That people could go home and come back. I just thought it was one or the other. How long were you gone for?

video;

[outofthefreezer]

I was gone for like, a week? I mean its only been a couple days here but a week at home. [Although Isaac realizes this is essentially a stranger.]

Uh, hi I guess? New face.. I'm Issac.

[mapmaker]

[ That lifts his spirits. He wants to leave. Not that the City doesn't have a lot to offer, but Remus needs his friends. If he could find a way out he would. ]

Oh, sorry. I'm Remus. Usually I'm better at that. I don't tend to just dive in to a conversation, you just surprised me.

[outofthefreezer]

[Isaac just smiles slightly because he was trying his best to make new friends.]

Its cool, I guess you're a new-comer. Its kinda been a hectic couple weeks...

[lupusalpha]

[Oh thank god.]

Isaac.

[outofthefreezer]

[Have Isaac genuinely smiling because he expected Derek to be gone, the same way he was in the real world.]

Derek! You're still here?

[lupusalpha]

Where would I go?

[outofthefreezer]

Oh uh, nevermind. I meant 'cause everyone else keeps disappearing? [Rather than letting Derek know that he wasn't around back home right now.]

[lefthandedgenius]

Hey. I don't know how far forward you are, but if you want to talk about that thing we had to do...for Scott, and Stiles and Allison...if you know what I'm talking about? Yeah.

Anyway. Let me know if you want to talk.

[outofthefreezer]

I know what you're talking about Lydia, from what Scott told me we're all at the same place.. time.. whatever?

[He nods though, because it might be something they should talk about. Nowhere near what the other three had to go through but still.]

[lefthandedgenius]

Fair enough.

[She's not trying to compare or anything, but it's not everyone who gets to be all, "Yeah, I held my friend/crush/whatever under water until they drowned." It's not exactly conducive to a good night's sleep.]

[outofthefreezer]

So how are you dealing? With everything...

[Such as being a Banshee?]

[valentineluke]

Brief exits are always a bit disconcerting.

[outofthefreezer]

Just a little, until everything comes flooding back...

[valentineluke]

At least you seem pleased about being back here. Most tend to go straight into the negative.

[outofthefreezer]

No uh, everything actually worked out? I mean back home too, plus my friends are here? [Definitely a win/win situation.]
