[Alexander will give a nod in return, but will mostly keep to himself unless attention is drawn to him.]

I mean, seems like there's always a catch. We just hope that they're not going to be bad ones.

[But she's not complaining about being alive again, even if Boyd is dead and all of her friendships are weird.]

[illtempered]

There are ways around them. Or, they aren't catches. They're opportunities.

( Alexander, you're dating an opportunist.

"I remember the video of what you were supposed to become," Derek says, very helpfully. And of course, Jackson frowns. )

[Erica also frowns, glancing between the two of them before raising an eyebrow.]

Supposed to become?

[A beat.]

What, was he supposed to evolve? Like a Pokemon?

[illtempered]

Derek's bite affected me differently. And some has-been bully took advantage. And, I bypassed the thing with wings. ( Being one. ) I'm better, now.

[yourtype]

I remember the kanima part. I did not hear about the thing with wings.

[So Jackson is a secret Pokemon. Good to know. Follow up question:]

Is Pokemon still a thing?

["It's a mobile game on your phone now," Isaac replies helpfully.]

Huh. Good to know.

[illtempered]

Yeah, but you like, wander around with other geeks and capture them out in the wild.

( It's lame. Also, the less they discuss the kanima. He completely forget she was around for that. Sorry, he was a fucking kanima. )

Anyway, now I'm half.

[She is not surprised that Jackson forgot she was even there. Even if he wasn't a kanima she was just not on his radar.]

Half in like your werewolf face has scales or more like you can pick and choose which one you want to be?

[illtempered]

( His lizard brain knew he had enemies on all sides, but that's about it. )

Aspects.

( And maybe, one day, she'll discover which.

"Okay, well, as weird as this all just was, let's continue dropping everyone off to their rooms to get settled, ready. We have a part to attend." It's awkward and a touch out of character, but Allison doesn't need Erica paralyzed for asking the wrong questions. )
