i've been here a while now and
idk
i want to do something useful and i guess that means joining a department
just not gunnery

[not gunnery, because that was chris' department. it was ric's. they both spent so much time there and he can't-]

no
i want to join gunnery
who do i talk to

[and that's it. at least in public.]


[locked to lydia]

you should move to our floor
i can talk to derek if he tries to stop you

[which, okay. it might not make a difference. but he's in scott's pack now, so keeping lydia safe seems like the right thing to do. especially now that allison--]


[locked to derek]

but i'm pretty sure you're gonna hate me for it

[kutte]

[ just tell him you're chris' kid, he'll take care of you ok ]

It ain't like we can't use the bodies. You willing to learn to shoot?

[iceboxed]

i guess

[not that guns will ever be his weapon of choice]

i've been around guns before though

[kutte]

We'll get you set up.

[ you will learn to love them don't worry ]

You mind telling me what's got you so committed?

[iceboxed]

[and then a moment later cause he isn't talking about the dickwad one don't worry twers]

ric worked there
so did chris

[kutte]

[ there's a pause, because if anyone understands complicated father issues, it's jax teller. ]

Then we got a place for you. Come down, find me, or find Anderson. We'll get you set up.

[iceboxed]

[because, yeah, he's following this through. (and is secretly appreciative of the fact he's even being given a shot in the first place)]

text » locked

[mathematically]

no but a lot of things aren't around here.

did you mention this to anyone else yet?

text » locked

[iceboxed]

i had to run it by you first

text » locked

[mathematically]

smart move, i actually kind of appreciate it.

[ and then followed by: ]

right next door?

[iceboxed]

your choice
my room's one side of derek and cora's
stiles is on the other side

text » locked

[mathematically]

you really think you can convince derek to let me within a room of him?

[ with the implication that she's taking a room all by herself thank you very much. pack or not she is not sharing with a teenage boy. ]

text » locked

[iceboxed]

i think derek doesn't get a choice if he wants to keep the rest of the pack around

[excuse you lydia, girls have cooties he wouldn't want to share with you]

You can ask. Go ahead.

[iceboxed]

[there's no response for a while. just a quick change of the lock while he works out how best to word this. not that there really is a good way]

people keep leaving
dying
and i just

[decided to seek out advice from the one person he knows who's lost the most?]

how do you deal with it

text, private;

[altercate]

[ derek's suddenly, painfully aware of how ill-equipped he is to answer this question. ]

I'm not the right person to ask this question to, Isaac.

[ because derek doesn't really deal with these things, not in any way that's healthy. ]

text, private;

[iceboxed]

so who is

in case you haven't noticed there's only half of us left now
and i'm not asking cora

[meaning that derek really is his own option right now. hurray?]

text, private;

[altercate]

I don't have an answer for you.
You keep going. That's all there is to do.

[iceboxed]

last time i tried to move on i ended up in the middle of the ship

[because it'd been about closure. about finding a way to work past everything that'd happened and to keep going with his life. clearly that went well]

text, private;

[altercate]

[ there is a difference between closure and moving on!! ]

That wasn't moving on.
Or it's not what I would do.

text, private;

[iceboxed]

[but you need closure to move on gosh]

then i guess i don't know how to do it
which is why i'm asking you
