[ 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.

Yeah, uh, okay. Is bull slang for cop? 'Cause I don't wanna just assume. But it better not be slang for like, anything else.

[ Eyebrow raise.] Or what, soldier? [ There's a lighter tone in his voice than normal, though even that's hard to pick up on. Regardless, he continues. ] And yeah, I think you wide-eyes call bulls and buzzers and badges just plain cops.

Bull is a new one. Sometimes we call them pigs. Uh, but not me, because I'm not big with my dad and the animal references. Man, now I know how the ren fair feels.

Why'd you call 'em pigs? [ WEIRD. But, more importantly: ] Ren faire's got nothin' to do with this. [ Confused. ]

I'm just thinking, all those dudes from the whateverest century BC probably have no idea what we're saying half the time.
