Fuck you --.

[ Stiles' out of breath voice bursts through the network just before the video feeds in. He's holed up in a sports store and brandishing a baseball bat in his free hand. He didn't really want to announce his return via video (the state of his face and general mental welfare being the main reason) but it's easiest, quickest. Because from the sound of it the ghouls have already found him.

Stiles swings the bat with a sound like a snarl, winces when it connects and climbs higher up the metal shelving. ] I can't believe you guys had a freaking zombie apocalypse and didn't invite me.

[ One of them groans and the device dips down as Stiles reaffirms his grip, arm curled around the metal bars. ] Yeah, yeah. Brains, got it. [ He sucks in a breath as the creature starts to climb after him. ] Oh holy god. That's cheating.

Derek? If you're going to save me, now might be the best time. [ Please still be in the City. Please. ]

[Derek looks fidgety, a little...nervous? Because under the decay, and the rot, and the nastiness-]

Yeah. They did.

[studmuffin]

Oh.

[ He stops to look up. caught between wanting to ask and wanting to not. ] I don't think they'll leave you alone, the City doesn't work like that.

[lupusalpha]

Are you saying we have to go and find them?

[studmuffin]

No.

[ Maybe. ]

I'm saying we need to figure out how to kill them and you have to be prepared. [ Scrolling through he can see talk of friends, family, the thought makes his stomach twist. ]

[lupusalpha]

I've sliced them open and hit them with jeeps. So far, nothing's worked.

[studmuffin]

[ Looking up then. ]

With. Jeeps.

[lupusalpha]

It was to save Isaac.

[studmuffin]

[ Biting back his swear word. ]

Have you tried beheading them?

[lupusalpha]

[He nods, but it's reluctant]

It doesn't work.

[studmuffin]

[ Scrubbing a hand through his short hair, careful to avoid the bruising. ]

There's got to be something.

[lupusalpha]

Maybe it's like us.

Maybe there's a plant, like wolfsbane.

[He looks Stiles over]

You should sleep.

[studmuffin]

This is more important.

[ Derek doesn't trust him. He's going to keep pushing until he does. ]

[lupusalpha]

[He takes a huff of air]

If you start feeling pain, let me know.

[studmuffin]

Yeah, sure.

[ Pulling a scrap of paper from the book under the couch to try and take notes. ]
