[ Look, it's an Isaac, slouching in his old room - the one that matches the numbers on his arm, not the one he sleeps in. It looks mostly unused because he's only been in there for all of six hours before he moved down to Derek's space. "Mostly" is a keyword, though; he's been staying here infrequently, in between avoiding Derek and other familiar (adult) faces. Maybe Erica knows where he's been. Or Remus, or Hayley, or Tyler, or Seraphim. He's pretty sure no one over eighteen knows, Isaac's gone lengths on the matter.

He's not wearing his mask, even if he's been wearing it a lot lately; Isaac knows a thing or two about keeping quiet, especially about things that can and do hurt you. The confused sad look he's wearing right now, though - it's a bit too clean. It's sincere, mostly.

"Mostly" is our word of the day.

Then he holds up a combat knife for the network to see.]

I don't know anyone she was friends with, but for what it's worth, Miss Rosella's not around anymore. She left me this, for some reason.

It's a pretty big knife.

Anyway, people have been disappearing, and there's this big thing going down about Smiley and stuff, so I guess this is a bad time to ask about gym equipment, and like. Who do we talk to about appropriating one of the bigger rooms or a holodeck to set up a gym? I mean, we probably already have one or two but this one's more of like, a club thing?

More of a thing that's just ours, not something pre-made and ready to use. Is that allowed?

[ FILTERED TO-- DEREK HALE : AUGGIE ANDERSON : JENNA SOMMERS : JOSH LEVINSON || viewable to erica reyes ]
i checked everywhere i could and i can't find her. network id's 404 error-ing me, so i guess she's not on the ship anymore.

this is the knife she stabbed me with, i'm pretty sure.

[ ooc: if anyone wants to say they saw isaac sneaking around and stuff, feel free to say something about it! isaac's been: a) helping erica look for boyd, b) helping tyler look for his uncle, c) hiding from hunters, d) hiding from derek, e) hiding from adults in general, so if you're 21+ and you noticed a teenager quietly avoiding you in the hallways, it's probably isaac. team jailbait can just throw him a rock or something, though, because he's been emoting over some of the recent drops. ]

[ delicately: ] It's a combat knife. It's designed to be pointed at people. [ but that isn't a suggestion, by any means ]

I could always stab myself with it.

[ n b d. look, there's even a shrug to go with it. ]

I'm guessing you know how to actually use this combat-wise, though. Am I right?

[ joking about stabbing yourself is Not Funny, Isaac.

she crosses her arms ]

You're right, and you will accidentally hurt yourself, if you don't know how to properly use it.

[ this would be so much funnier if isaac couldn't tell you actually care about doing the right thing, here. maybe it's the mask, maybe it's just him, but all the time - "accidentally hurt yourself" is a horrible, funny phrase to use on an abuse victim who now lives as a werewolf. ]

Accidentally is a broad definition when you're on a flying death trap, though.

Just saying. Besides, it's aknife.

And therefore, a weapon.

[ she holds up her hands in an "I surrender gesture" with a sigh ]

Look, all I'm saying is, don't try to use that to defend yourself or to make yourself dinner or to do anything, really, unless you know for a fact you are competent with combat knives because you might accidentally — as in unintentionally, without meaning to harm yourself, planning on doing something else entirely, etcetera — get hurt. I know it's not a gun, but it's still dangerous.

I'm honestly not trying to make this into an after school special. I just want to make sure you'll be okay, all right?

Please say you're not a mom? Because then I'd be obligated to introduce you to my two dads, and then it will be just weird because they're kind of really committed to parenting.

[ YEAH HE KNOWS HOW THIS MIGHT SOUND he is not going to give a flying mouse right now because this is excellent opportunity to try and fluster someone.

Meet the problem haletwin #1. ]

—So are you army? Marine? What year are you even from? Last I remember it was 2011, but that means absolutely nothing up here.

[ NOT SO FAST problem haletwin #1, your flustering abilities have nothing on that of the men she works with

meet annie "shounen hero" walker. ]

I am neither a mom nor a wife, but I would love to meet your dads. [ flashes a wide smile, and replies, without hesitating. ]

I'm an army brat, but I work as a cop, in Washington D.C., circa 2011.

[ we'll see about that sometime, ms walker. you're a shonen hero walking among many shonens in the literal sense, you might yet get surprised. ]

We're the same year, then. I'm from 2011, too.

So, Washington? What's that like?

[ but do you know who is breathing real hard on this conversation spoilers it's derek. ]
