[ there's an awkward second of someone fumbling with the device. when scott steps back a second later, the reason's obvious: he's trying to get it to balance on his desk, giving a clear view of both him and isaac standing a few feet off. ]

Hey. My name's Scott. I was here once before, so I guess I don't really have any questions.

[ except for maybe why am i back, but he knows that'd just be wasting time. anyway, they're broadcasting for a reason, and that's not it. ]

I know stuff is really weird here, like angels and superheroes and shapeshifters, so I don't really get the point in— [ keeping secrets? that's pretty broad. he obviously didn't map this speech out, so rather than making more of a mess he just stumbles for the finish line. ] I'm a werewolf. If you have a problem with that, let me know.

[ there's no challenge in his tone. it sounds more like "sorry, but we can probably talk it out". he almost steps forward to end the feed there, catching himself abruptly to add: ]

Isaac too. [ And Isaac offers a casual little wave at that, in the midst of all his eyerolling at Scott's... presentation of sorts. Really, Scott. ]

People are missing and people are hurt, and we want to help, but we can't do anything if we're too busy hiding. [ which is the real point of this, except hold up, one last thing. ] And we know there's a full moon in a few days, but we aren't crazy and we won't hurt anyone.


( ooc: icly the day after the party/kidnappings. all dialogue is scott's because isaac is rude, but replies will come from one or both! )

Comments

wow gross!!

[workout]

[ wow that's quite the tone young lady. unfortunately for you, scott knows derek hale. ]

Where are you from?

excuse u

[wolfchild]

Why do you care?

is excused

[workout]

Because I'm betting it's not the same place I'm from. Do you know Earth? California?

[wolfchild]

[ almost a year in exsilium and the answer is— ] Yes.

[workout]

Oh. [ don't do this to him you're making this complicated!! ]

I really don't think there are direwolves in California.

[ ... he was pretty sure there weren't werewolves, either. ]

[wolfchild]

[ ]

Just because they aren't in one place doesn't mean they're extinct. You don't even know for sure.

[workout]

[ damn you kanye stark ]

No, I'm like— ninety-percent sure. Are you actually from Earth?

[wolfchild]

Where else would I be from?

[ where indeed. ]

[workout]

I have no idea. But there are people from completely different worlds and planets, so maybe you're from one with... [ pause for thought. ] How old are you?

[wolfchild]

Fourteen.

[ eleven. but she sounds closer to nine. ]

[workout]

Right.

[ so not fourteen. ]

So do you have direwolves?

[ on this theoretical earth of yours. but it's an honest question; he's not going to be a jerk to a kid. ]

[wolfchild]

I have one. [ he meant here, right. of course he did. ]

[workout]

[ nope not even a little bit. ]

Like— you have one here?

[wolfchild]

That's what I said.

[workout]

[ child were you raised by wolves. ]

Is it a nice wolf?

[wolfchild]

[ literally and metaphorically c: ]

She [ a little pause and one can just hear her smirk ] isn't. But she'll behave so long as you stay out of her territory.

[workout]

[ territory.... ]

Um. Where's her territory?

[wolfchild]

You said you're a wolf. Can't you smell it?

[workout]

[ ............ is there a better way to ask this. ]

Are you talking about wolf pee?

[ probably not?? ]

[wolfchild]

Yes. Did you think she's going to rub herself on the ground?

[workout]

[ wow thanks, now all he's going to notice when he goes outside is the smell of wolf pee. werewolf superpowers can suck it. ]

I don't really think that's how werewolves work.

[ ...... is it. he's pretty sure the other packs never marked their territory quite that literally. ]

Besides, I'm pretty good with animals— even if they aren't nice.

[wolfchild]

Doesn't matter how good you are. If you're one of those idiots who think she's just a big puppy and you can pet her, you'll lose the hand. So don't be stupid.

[ amazingly, this is her trying to be a good neighbor. ]

[workout]

I won't be stupid, I promise.

[ wow you're actually kind of adorable underneath all of that hostility. ]

[wolfchild]

[ lies and slander!! ]

Good.

[workout]

What's your name?

[ no hard facts!! ]
