[ stiles looks like he's tamping down on some serious worry. he's trying to sound casual, but there's definitely concern in his eyes, the corner of his mouth tight with tension, and his leg bounces with a nervous anxiety. ]

Hey, uh. Has anyone out there seen my dad? Probably introducing himself as Stilinski. He's zero twelve, zero twenty-four. I already went by his room, 'cause we were meant to— anyway, he's not there, and I heard all the messages about we're not supposed to just go wandering off and looking for people, so I figured I'd just ask, first.

[ first. as in, this entry is coming before he goes wandering off and looking for his dad. ]

[ stiles gives an awkward grimace, and then his face trembles and he reaches over and covers the camera with his palm, voice thready. ]

I can't lose him, okay? I can't. So just. Let me know. Thanks.

Maybe he's wherever my aunt is. She's missing, too.

Your aunt?

Holy crap, dude, your Aunt's a—

[ wait maybe he shouldn't say that. ]





.... Therapist.

Subtle. Yeah. She is. It's a side effect of being from Mystic Falls. [ A wry glare. ] It's a long story. Your dad?

He's the Sheriff. And, human! Totally human and totally in the dark on all that crap.

Good to know. Still? On this ship? How long do you think you can keep that up. Trust me. We tried to keep Jenna in the dark.

I know, I know, okay? I just, I've been lying to him for so freaking long.

Yeah, and that leads to your aunt being tricked and then turned into a vampire.

Nobody is turning my dad into anything. Believe me on that one.

Maybe not. But, sooner or later he's going to find out. It should be from you.

I don't even know where to begin. And if I tell him, he's gonna wanna get involved. He's a cop, you know, they have to — do things.

You deal with that after. And, better he get involved and know how and why. Then he can protect himself. Look, I know about being the human left behind. I'm the little brother. I'm safe at home. And I know all about stuff that goes on in our town that I shouldn't. I'm still alive.

[ Granted, he's died twice. But, semantics. ]

[ stiles can see the sense in that, though he doesn't look happy about it. ]

Maybe. We'll see.

[ he mutters, low. ]

Not like it'll matter if I can't find him.

You'll find him. And if you go after him, be careful, Stiles.
