Video - Day 319

[teenyoda]

[There's a face that might be familiar to some people appearing onscreen. It looks a little less perky than it usually does and seems to be needing a moment before actually speaking.]

Hey. I don't know what happened, but I could swear I'd gone home for a while. But I'm back here again and... yeah.

I guess a few people missed me, judging by the messages waiting for me. I'll get to those in a bit, but I thought I'd let everyone know I'm back. Scott... I guess I'll see you when you've got some time. I hope things have been quiet and I have no idea how long I've been gone, so any heads up on that would be appreciated.

[teenyoda]

Hey, whoa. I know that look and that is the look that precedes bloodshed.

[He got up from the bed and went over to the small mini-fridge he had, pulling out a water and holding it out for Derek.]

Just sit down for a minute, okay? This is why I didn't want to tell you. I knew you weren't going to take it well.

[predators]

[ derek glares at the water, and then at stiles even if his anger isn't directed at the teen, for once. he doesn't take what is offered though, just stiffens up a little. ]

Sitting down isn't going to fix anything. [ he's turning to the door then. ]

[teenyoda]

Right, and going out pissed off is going to solve all the problems in the world. Sit the hell down, Derek.

[Stiles was less afraid of getting up in his face than he had been before, not because of Derek's lack of wolfy powers, but because for him, things had changed. So Derek had better listen.]

[predators]

[ wow no. ]

You really think bossing me around right now -- [ or ever, really. ] --is a good idea, Stiles? I heard what I needed to hear.

[teenyoda]

I think you need to stop acting like some half-cocked psycho that's ready to break someone at the drop of a hat. You came over here threatening me, threatening to break my door down, you punched a hole in the wall and that was all before you'd actually heard anything.

No, Derek. You can sit your dewolfed ass down until you calm down. I'm not letting you leave this room.

[And if Derek actually tried for the door, he'd find a wall of flames in front of it. But only if he tried for it.]

[predators]

[ this isn't fair B(

he huffs quietly under his breath, because the sad part? is that stiles really does have the power to keep him in here. sort of. derek could still break his arms for any fire. ]

First you don't want me inside, now you won't let me leave. [ mumble mumble but he does end up sitting down and glaring at the floor. ]

[teenyoda]

[He could... if he could get through the wall he'd summon around himself if Derek tried. He'd learned a few things about defensive and offensive strategies while gone, Derek. Aren't you proud?]

I didn't want you in because I didn't want to tell you. Now that I have, it's my responsibility to make sure you don't do something dumb.

[predators]

[ no l:< ]

I'm not Scott. [ dumb isn't a thing he does. or something. ]

[teenyoda]

[Yes you are. Don't lie.]

No, Scott usually thinks things through and has plans that amazingly work. Most of the time. You... you're a maim and kill them then ask questions later type of guy.

[Did he need to point out Lydia? Don't make him point out Lydia, Derek.]

[predators]

[ fuck lydia. ]

They deserve to be maimed and killed. [ it's quieter than he intends, though vicious in its own right. ]

[teenyoda]

[Maybe he should]

Yeah, not arguing that.

[Hey, he'd seen Heather, okay? His dad had almost wound up being part of the casualty list. He had his own feelings regarding this.]

But they're not here and you're likely to take it out on someone that doesn't deserve it.

[predators]

There are plenty of those who deserve it here, too. [ but then, derek can always find someone to hate and hurt.

still, he's looking a little less like he's about to run off on some murderous mission. ]

[teenyoda]

So you're just cathartically going to go out and beat the shit out of someone because you're mad at someone else? Don't be like that Derek. You're better than that.

[Wow. Did he just admit Derek had depth? Check him for a fever.]

[predators]

[ yyyyeeeaahhhhh he turns to look at stiles like the teen's grown another head...

......but anyway. ]

You've changed. [ "obvious statements" a book by derek hale. ]

[teenyoda]

So have you. Well, you have back home. For the better, I thought.

[predators]

[ he's not entirely sure he'd agree with what stiles' version of "for the better" might be, but whatever. ]

Have you told anyone else?

[teenyoda]

Scott.

[Because duh, Derek. Of course he told Scott.]

Not like I've been sending out fliers.

[predators]

I didn't think so, but Scott probably will.

[ 8| ]

[teenyoda]

No, he won't. We talked. He...

It's a lot of stuff, Derek. A lot of bad and maybe a little bit of not so bad. And you're not the only one that got screwed, okay? We all wound up getting some damage.

[He almost wants to lift a hand and rub at his chest, at the weird hollowness he feels there.]

[predators]

[ yeah, like erica and boyd he wants to say, but alright, fair enough. he'll see it for himself some day. ]

How much more is there? [ of "a lot of stuff". ]

[teenyoda]

A lot.

[He looks down at his hands, fidgeting with them. He's not going to be the one to tell Derek about losing his Alpha status. He also really didn't want to tell him about Blake, especially not after everything had come to light about her. And Paige. And that connection. Nope. He was so not okay with that.]

Can you trust me to tell you if it's relevant to you? If you need to know?

[predators]

[ no.

but only because derek doesn't trust anyone, not here. not isaac or erica, not scott, and not stiles. no one.

but he sighs, sound annoyed. ]

With the Alpha pack involved, it's all relevant, Stiles.

[teenyoda]

Not right now, it's not. I told you the worst of it.

[Mostly.]

Filling in each painful little dot and comma isn't going to help you while you're here, Derek. Just like knowing she was going to die didn't help Erica. She still died when I went home.

[predators]

[ there's sense in what stiles says for once, but he still doesn't like it. ]

I just don't want surprises.

[teenyoda]

I know. I just...

[He figured there was one thing he could tell him.]

If anyone named Jennifer Blake comes here, do not under any circumstances trust her. Or sleep with her.
