[when the feed clicks on it's to an off-angled shot of grass, somewhere in the middle of the gardens. he has the camera in one hand, held out at a distance to try and film himself for his upcoming message. the other is busy holding his crosse, the scoop low to the ground as he finally addresses the feed.]

So, back home there's this sport we play at my school called Lacrosse. I don't know how many of you here have ever heard of it before, but it's kinda big where I'm from.

Basically, you take this stick- [he holds it up to show the camera more clearly, before dropping it back to the ball on the ground. the feed shakes (sorry for those prone to motion-sickness) as he picks said ball up with the stick, tossing it in the air a couple of times before he continues.] -and use it to try and get this ball in to your opponent's goal. Sounds easy, right?

[there's a smirk on his face when he looks back up at the (still off-angled) feed. look, it's easier to focus on dumb things like this than the fact that your dead dad is wandering the ship somewhere, your future alpha's best friend has gone missing, and there's a chance a psychopathic hunter could well be prowling the halls.]

It can be pretty violent sometimes- Full contact sport, by the way. And we don't have much padding sitting around here. But we've got everything else we'd need, so me and- A friend, were talking about setting up a game after the jump. The problem is, there's only three [two. but he's not counting out stiles on a public post] of us here from our world, and we kind of need a whole lot more than that if we want to get a good match going.

So, anybody interested?

[there's a sudden blur across the feed as he drops his arm back down. his expression shifts to a serious one for the briefest of moments, before the feed seemingly cuts.]


locked to allison

[it's a quick flip of the feed, and there's another message sent, locked down to just the two of them.]

I know things are kind of weird between us, but I kind of need to ask a favor?

[something he'd be a whole lot more uncomfortable doing if it was for his own sake.]

Could you go talk to Scott? I don't know what he's told you, but Stiles is- [nope, still not saying it.] You know him better than me, and I think he could use that right now.

I'll play if you agree to baseball-

Is something wrong?

[iceboxed]

I'm good. But baseball? [where's the violence fun in that? ] I guess I could give it a try.

Did you luck out on getting a bat in your locker?

[boogiewoogiebugleboy]

There's a forge here. Are you telling me we can't figure out a way to make a bat?

[ 'kind of weird'. understatement of the century, isaac, but she's not about to argue that point when there's a bigger dilemma at hand. ]

I'll talk to him. [ but she's not leaving it there; she, scott, and stiles have been through a lot, but as far as she's concerned — ] You should still talk to him if you haven't, though. You're his friend.

[ whereas she's the awkward ex-girlfriend. ]

We're not as close as you remember.

[him and scott. they're not a pack, here. and they've only recently managed to rebuild the mess that was their friendship after the whole lydia issue. of the two of them, he's definitely the least equipped to help, as far as he's concerned.]

You've got a lot more in common with him than me.

[werewolf issue aside]

Lacrosse is one of the few sports I never actually played -- guess it wouldn't be a bad time to change that.

We're gonna be playing all out later too, if you want to come.

[at the least, it'll be him and scott. but the more werewolves, the better, right?]

Re: auggielocked;

[lockwood]

Sure. I could use the exercise.

You'd probably have an easier time with hockey.

[iceboxed]

Except we have a pile of lacrosse gear and I've never played hockey before.

[cora don't judge their sport okay]

[strayed]

Hitting a ball is easier than scooping it up in a net on a stick.

[but judging is her default setting!!]

I thought you wanted to skip the open invite?

[ but he's smiling, because he gets it.

nice hesitation on "a friend" though, bro. ]

[iceboxed]

[hey, he's working on that whole trust thing. give it time.

though admittedly, the smile is actually good to see. not that he's going to point it out.]

So, fun fact. I don't actually know that many people here who aren't either from our world or Jenna's. I thought this'd be a good way to fix that.

[workout]

I think you're probably right. [ so proud of you for branching out little buddy. !! ]

I'll ask around, too. [ wizards. and after a slight pause: ] Did you still want to do a private match?

[ which sounds a bit like a come on, but still somehow less awkward than asking if they're going to have a werewolf-only lacrosse game. ]

[altercate]

Lacrosse? Really?

[iceboxed]

What's wrong with lacrosse?

[actually, no-]

Are you gonna play?

[altercate]

[ isaac who do you think you're talking to ]

Why would you think I'd play?

[surrogates]

Is anyone going to be watching this game to make sure it doesn't get out of hand?

[ he's super proud though, look at you isaac. ]

permavideo so there

[iceboxed]

[thanks dad]

Is that your way of asking if you can be the referee?

right back at you since YOU INSIST

[surrogates]

[ welcome son tbh ]

Depends on if you'd like me to be? [ so yep. ]
