IM | MAY 4, 2014

[The IM opens up on Scott sitting outside the Nike cabin, rubbing at some of his armor with a cloth, and for a moment, he stares up into the sunlight reflected through the rainbow, a little at a loss for words. He's responded to a lot of others' IMs in the past - in fact, it's how he's met all the new people at this camp, usually. But he's never really been one to send them out on his own.

In truth, what he told Tris the other day is true. He does kind of miss the eagles.]

Um, hey guys. I don't usually make these on my own, so - uh, I'm Scott McCall, Fourth Cohort.

[He pauses for a second, kind of unsure what to say about this, how to say it. Now, he thinks, there's going to be a lot of things in his life he's unsure about what to do with. Particularly the part where he turns into a furry, monstrous thing once a month.]

I just wanted to let you all know that two of my cohort members - my friends - Zack Fair and Derek Hale - they're not at camp anymore. Cohort business, I think. I figured they were probably some of your friends, so I thought you might wanna know.

[He leaves it a little vague on both ends, shaking his head. Scott leaves the line open, but goes back to cleaning the armor.]

Comments

[usernameallison]

Um, yes? Yeah, I think I am.

[He nods a bit. It's easier to talk about now that it's not in the open.]

I mean, i think this is way better than how I read Lycaeon asks people to be in his pack. Which, uh? According to the books, he doesn't.

[clearasil]

I'm down. Sign me up. [ Grinning, she reaches out and lightly punches his shoulder. ]

You've been brushing up on your wolf lore, too. Probably one of the most prepared werewolves I've ever met and I have met like ... two. The attackers so don't count, especially that one that's supposed to be my half-sister. Gross.

[usernameallison]

[Scott leans a little as she punches his shoulder - and really, this is a relief, especially considering how weird this would be to most people.]

Wait, wait - there was a wolf that was a daughter of Hecate? Or Trivia?

[clearasil]

Yeah, that's how they broke through the barrier in the first place. She did it.

[ If Scott's leveled up this much while being a legacy, she can't imagine how powerful that wolf must have been. ] Of course, your girlfriend got her back, so.

[usernameallison]

Holy- she did that? She must be...wow. That's a lot of power.

[He nods a little bit, scratching the back of his neck. He's still not sure how to approach what Allison did around other campers, even if they've talked about it and it was so long ago and it seems like she's repaired ties with a good lot of them. It's different for others, and he tries to be sensitive to those sorts of issues when he can. He's silent for a minute.]

Hopefully we won't have to go through something like that again.

[clearasil]

[ She realizes it's not an easy position for him to be in, but she has to forgive something like that. If one of her parents died, she honestly wouldn't know what to do with herself. ]

I'm not much of an optimist but I don't see the likes of that happening any time soon. I think things are just... different around here.
