[ The feed starts and there are bags under his eyes and a hollowness to his cheeks that didn't exist when he was in the City last week. There's also a tremble to the fingers holding the device, a clumsy shuddering view of what is unmistakably Derek's cabin, before it vanishes into darkness again.

Seconds pass before the text shows up. ]

City, I wish I knew how to quit you.

[ A joke he doesn't quite feel, naturally. Everything's fine. Everything's normal. The next message is for Chase and is very, very locked and nosy people can't see it okay. ]

Like Dr. Dre I need a Doctor. If you want me to try and find someone else because of some awkwardness I have totally forgotten about in the past three months, just let me know, okay?

[ Then the rest is locked to Lydia and Allison. Not that he doesn't trust Derek but maybe true alpha / imagining yourself a super wolf man means you can hide from the other one. ]

Derek said Scott's gone. Is that true?

Sometimes I forget that we don't have to keep secrets in the City. I'm so used to it back home.

[anunluckypenny]

nope, you don't need to keep secrets especially not ones that bother you.

[studmuffin]

The town I live in is kind of crazy. It doesn't feel like a story I can tell.

[anunluckypenny]

you don't have to.
if it helps there are people with superpowers where I'm from. I never knew superheros were kind of rare until i got here.

suddenly private ! 1/3

[studmuffin]

Telling Beacon Hills' shady secrets is literally panic attack worthy. But I just wanted to tell someone who gave a crap.

[anunluckypenny]

The town is kind of crazy. I've been trying to keep my dad safe. And my friends. And I did some things and it's like all the sinister crap the town is capable of is stuck in my head. It's just really hard. I'm so tired.
