( She shouldn't be surprised when Scott tries to do just that because his next message? Is to Scott.

Stiles, now that he's not being squeezed, is zooming around Scott when Lydia returns with coffee. First he's behind, then he's in front. Then he's behind again!

[Her eyebrows go up and then she waves a hand.]

Stiles, could you not?
phonetically: (check in)

[personal profile] phonetically 2021-01-04 02:45 am (UTC)(link)
( And then he's behind Lydia. )

Why? I have to practice. And I can't leave this room. How'mI doing, Caroline?
beanchaointe: (from the chandelier)

[personal profile] beanchaointe 2021-01-04 02:57 am (UTC)(link)
[Caroline already looks tired. This is going to be an experience. "You're doing great, Stiles."

Lydia spins towards him and she has not had enough sleep for this behavior.]


Please stay where I can see you.
phonetically: (so on the one hand)

( He slides between Lydia and the doorway, then, to sit by Elena. )

I'm not a kid, Lydia.

( "Just Barry Allen," Allison says, leaning against the wall, with a foot up against the wall.

Scott finally joins Lydia, and gives a one arm squeeze around her shoulders, but speaks to Stiles."How's it feel?"
)

Like I can't concentrate on one thing ever again. Also, like I'm hyperfocused when I really want to be. It's like an electric minefield fence up here. Oh uh, did anybody -- call my dad?
beanchaointe: (Default)

[personal profile] beanchaointe 2021-01-04 03:21 am (UTC)(link)
No.

[She shrugs.]

I didn't know what you were going to do.
phonetically: (Default)

[personal profile] phonetically 2021-01-04 05:57 am (UTC)(link)
You - you thought I was going to choose death? Over cake. Like being a vampire was worse than actual death.

( And now he addresses everyone. )

Did I ever need to be something, no. Did I want Peter Hale to bite me. Please no. Knowing my luck, I'd have been some rabies werewolf creep. But, this happened. It's done. Now, I'm fast. And more alive than I've ever felt even on 48 hours of no sleep. Do I -- need sleep?
beanchaointe: (i feel the love feel the love)

[personal profile] beanchaointe 2021-01-04 10:30 pm (UTC)(link)
["Technically, no, but it's still nice." At least in Caroline's opinion. "Makes you feel normal."

Lydia, however, is annoyed.]


What was I going to tell him, Stiles? Oh hi, Sheriff. Just FYI, your son might become a vampire. Oh you want to talk to him? Sorry, can't do that right now. He's currently dead.

["Aw, your dad is the sheriff too? So was my mom." Caroline takes a beat before shaking her head. "Not important."]
phonetically: (so on the one hand)

[personal profile] phonetically 2021-01-04 10:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, real great when you're trying to hide your werewolf best friend and can't explain why you end up at all the murder scenes. You're right. Wrong time.

( Back to Lydia. )

I'm not - I know, I didn't expect you to, I don't know. I was out. I'm thankful for all that you guys did. You didn't need to cover my bases. ( Also. ) I do have to make calls, though. Is there -- like a bad with my phone? Charger?
beanchaointe: (can't feel anything)

[personal profile] beanchaointe 2021-01-04 11:03 pm (UTC)(link)
["Oh, we are going to have to swap stories later." Because wait till she tells you about her misadventures with the Founder's Council.

She holds out her phone to him because she doesn't know where his is at the moment. It might have been left with the wreck of the car.]


Here. Use mine.
phonetically: (check in)

[personal profile] phonetically 2021-01-05 12:11 am (UTC)(link)
( Heck yes, they will. )

Thanks.

( And he is going to -- go into the ... is the hallway safe? The sun's not up yet. Lydia can follow, if she'd like

Allison addresses Caroline next.

"Scott and I will be there, for your graduation. Just in case."
)
vampireboulevard: (but prayed for my decline)

[personal profile] vampireboulevard 2021-01-05 01:07 am (UTC)(link)
Of course. We'll be happy to have you.

[Hopefully Caroline will even be there. She then turns her attention to Scott.]

Maybe even after the ceremony I could give you a tour? Talk to you a bit about the school?

[She pauses.]

I know, you're here for the hunters and this sounds really opportunistic, but you'd be surprised how hard it is to get werewolf adults interested in the school. Sometimes, you need to seize the moment, even if it's awkward.
phonetically: (i see what you mean)

[personal profile] phonetically 2021-01-05 01:14 am (UTC)(link)
( "I'd love to see the school." Seizing the moment, that's a Scott McCall thing, totally. Maybe a little haphazardly, but always well-meaning. "Were you - what do you need exactly?"

A teacher, probably, but Allison's not about to insert her sarcasm into the proceedings.
)

Dad. Dad. Calm down. It's fine. Yes. I'm talking to you, aren't I? No, this isn't a Ferris Bueller recording. Because, I'm smart but I'm not - randomly generated algorithm of what I might say, smart.
vampireboulevard: (i handled every corner)

[personal profile] vampireboulevard 2021-01-05 01:21 am (UTC)(link)
Honestly, you're a well-respected alpha and a lot of wolves look to you as an example. We want to prove that our school is safe for werewolf students so if you like what you see, an endorsement would be really nice.

[But also, if you wanted to teach, Caroline wouldn't say no.

She's also listening to Stiles' conversation with is dad, though. At least it sounds better than things went with her mom. Both times.]


Also, we could probably use more werewolf adults around but ... again, hard to find.

[Elena will interject before they get to the obvious answer: "Most of the werewolves at the school are either orphans or foster kids. Kids that didn't have anywhere else to go. They form their own packs, but a lot of them don't really understand what a pack is."

Hope Mikaelson is the exception, not the rule.]

[personal profile] commend 2021-01-05 02:17 am (UTC)(link)
That's - what I do. I never had a school. But I got a network going. Displaced shapeshifters. Not just werewolves. I'm in. For the tour. Let's tour.

( Scott's practically beaming.

"I'll call you back. I will. We'll - sure, I'll FaceTime you. Yes. Well, I think I'll be taking that sabbatical." Stiles is pacing now, back and forth.

Allison smiles, looking to Elena.

"You're involved in the school, too?"
)

vampireboulevard: (i started on the outside)

[personal profile] vampireboulevard 2021-01-05 02:35 am (UTC)(link)
["On-call doctor. It makes it easier than them having to obscure the causes with a muggle one." Between her and Jo, they do their best to keep the students healthy.

Caroline claps her hands together, pleased.]


This will be so good. I'll show you the whole thing, top to bottom.
matriarchate: (check and study)

[personal profile] matriarchate 2021-01-05 02:53 am (UTC)(link)
Witches don't heal like werewolves and vampires do?

( "And I'll be dressed up." A real formal tour.

And then, a knock on the door

Ryan Atwood! He has a bag slung over his shoulder, he sidesteps Stiles who comes back in and flops onto the bed next to Elena.
)

vampireboulevard: (but before i got my trophy)

[personal profile] vampireboulevard 2021-01-05 03:08 am (UTC)(link)
[Elena shakes her head as she shifts over to make room for Stiles. "Aside from the witchy juju they're basically human. And certain kinds of werewolves still catch human diseases or don't heal as quickly in between full moons." Because they're not werewolves in the same way Scott is a werewolf.

But they're still werewolves. It's complicated.

Caroline also lights up when she sees Ryan.]


You made it!

[Then she looks down at her bloodied clothes.]

This is not as bad as it looks.
widenecked: (i don't understand)

[personal profile] widenecked 2021-01-05 03:17 am (UTC)(link)
It's someone else's?

( And some of the room says, "Elena's" and the others say "Stiles'". And that's clarification.

This is still Ryan, though, so he understands that. And that comes with silent acknowledgement.
)

Ryan.

( And then, again, all together, he hears a cacophony of"Stiles,", "Allison," and "Scott."

Who's who? He kind of followed that.
)
vampireboulevard: (so i made friends with rejection)

[personal profile] vampireboulevard 2021-01-05 03:40 am (UTC)(link)
Let's just say there was a lot of blood.

[Because some of it is also dead hunters. >.>

But Caroline will reach over to take the bag from him, and go through all the introductions:]


That's Allison Argent, head of the Argent hunter family. That's Scott McCall, Alpha of the Hale pack, and that is Stiles, my new vampire-in-training.

[She then gestures to Ryan.]

And this is Ryan Atwood, a Caroline Forbes vampire success story. I'm going to go find a shower to get ready for graduation, but if you have any questions, he or Elena can answer them.

[And she will duck out to find somewhere to get clean. Elena sighs and looks over at Ryan with a small smile.

"Hey, Ryan."]
widenecked: (interested)

[personal profile] widenecked 2021-01-05 03:43 am (UTC)(link)
Hey.

( Like most people, Ryan likes Elena. He is suddenly in a very busy room, however. Not usually his scene. )

Does anybody have a question?
braveandstupid: (and the world would hear this)

[personal profile] braveandstupid 2021-01-05 03:54 am (UTC)(link)
I think they're all mostly adjusting.

[She tips her head towards Stiles.]

I think Caroline managed to find a newbie vampire who's the exact opposite of you.

[The way she says that doesn't indicate whether or not it's good or bad, just that it is.]
widenecked: (is it what you thought? -- amused)

[personal profile] widenecked 2021-01-05 04:07 am (UTC)(link)
( Stiles must be a man of many words.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Stiles. The new vampire. Had Caroline not already pointed him out.
)

How are you doing?

( As if Ryan could assess Elena's wellbeing just from a once over, he tilts his head and does just that. He's heard the story already. He didn't hear about the miracle. )
braveandstupid: (the minor fall the major lift)

[personal profile] braveandstupid 2021-01-05 04:16 am (UTC)(link)
I'm good. Really.

[And to address Stiles.]

You've been awake and talking for ... a couple hours, maybe? And I've already heard you say more words than I've heard Ryan say in the entire time I've known him.

[And she means that with love.]
widenecked: (focused)

[personal profile] widenecked 2021-01-05 04:28 am (UTC)(link)
Caroline likes to say I'm laconic.

( And she says she likes it. Taking Stiles under her wing will be - yeah, the opposite of what it was like training him.

"That's --" Scott looks to Allison.

"Not Stiles." Allison smiles behind her phone.

"Nice. Real nice. Real Pack solidarity, guys. I shut up. I shut up when I want to shut up."
