I'm not saying that men can't faint. I'm saying that you, the sheriff's son, probably shouldn't.
You'd make a terrible werewolf.

Make a list. We'll go through all of them.
Apparently this is just my life now.
What about

[ deep breath, measures his temper. why is this his life. this is stupid. why is he even asking this question ]

snacks? I don't know what you eat.

Stop judging me judgingly with those judging eyes.

I like pretzels and bbq chips. I'm guessing you're into beef jerky and the bones of your enemies?

I do like the hard crunch of human bone.
But.
Okay. I'll... pick those up?

[ he wonders if he should offer to, like - invite people, or something, over the first few movie nights, but he remembers rather quickly he doesn't have any friends. he has one, but he's possessive and wants to keep tate to himself, so. wow, okay. guess he really will be stuck watching a movie with stiles. ]

If Scott does show up, no telling him we did this.

100% between us, we can pinky swear on it if it makes you feel better.

Y'know I went through the network and a bunch of names from home have been here before, but most of 'em far back. Allison, Scott, Lydia - even... well, even me? That's weird and creepy and I don't know how I feel about it. I didn't go through them too in depth because of the heebie jeebies but I might, just to see if by any chance anyone happened to be farther along than I am in a timeline. If that's possible to tell.

[ there's a delay, but-- ]

I've been here before, too.
I haven't gone through the archives - I've never had a reason to. But they're all there, just waiting to be looked through.
I don't know if it's something I want to do. Seeing relationships I built with people I don't remember, seeing feelings I had that aren't in me anymore.
It's hard enough dealing with the things I'm already dealing with without adding existential identity issues on top of it.

I need an actual script for Adderall in order to focus enough but I wanna go through it, at some point. I feel like I'm getting hit by a trifecta of buses right now with the data overload. Like, the hell happened in De Chima? How big of a white board am I going to need and how am I going to fit it in my room now that you crammed a couch in there?

I'll get the board going, though. If you want some more crash courses in what happened or is... gonna happen to you, I can help with that.

Screw it to your wall, maybe.

I want to know, yeah. I'll catch you up on everything I know about this version of America, too. We can go through the network archives together, if it would make you feel better.
Adderall is probably doable. You're an imPort now.
There's probably some native groupie working some pharmacy nearby who would give you all the drugs they had if you just smiled at them the right way.

Cool, we can talk about Registration too - the pros and cons beyond what are the more evidently advertised, preferably.

I'm supposed to like, "Swear In" or something? Sounds a bit daunting. Soul-selling, honestly.

Don't register.

Ominous. Mind elaborating a little on why there, buddy?

If you register, you're giving your name and your time and your abilities to a system that doesn't care about you.
It's bribery. You're signing away your independence for a home and easy money.
You don't need assigned housing to survive. The government doesn't do anything for imPorts, let alone its own native people.
Declaring you'll fight for someone entirely on their terms instead of carving your own path and fighting for what you believe in, all while allowing yourself to be tracked and herded like cattle? It's insane.

You're better than that.
I don't know why I trust you as much as I do in the future, but if you saved my life, you're obviously someone strong. Someone capable of surviving without a safety net like registration.
You're a good guy with your own code of conduct. You're smart. You don't need to impose restrictions on yourself for the sake of somebody else's comfort.

Did you just call me smart? ✲ﾟ｡.(✿╹◡╹)ﾉ☆.｡₀:*ﾟ✲ﾟ*:₀｡

Derek Hale just said I'm smart. I'm saving this text to show Scott later.

[ inhales. ]

I take it back.
You're a whiny baby who can't sit still for five god damn seconds. That's all you are.
Why are you using emotes? Don't use emotes.
You're pissing me off.
