[ lol brb ignoring everything he just wrote ]

what's chillinski supposed to mean

[ It's an important question, okay!! ]

[figureitout]

[................................ WELL THEN.]

Oh come on, not you too

it's a pun, okay, and it's a great pun. [He. may actually forget to say what it is a pun of.]

[animalize]

no it's not. because i don't get it

[ EXPLAIN YOURSELF. ]

[figureitout]

okay, right, so when I woke up here, it was in a house that was like half snowed in so it was really, really cold, like arctic levels of freezing, and I was really cold because california isn't exactly the arctic

and the network was being really insistent about signing in and picking a username and I thought, okay, I'm cold and also it's a bad idea to use your actual name because you don't want people connecting everything you say to your real identity, so I picked something that was a mix of my last name and chill, which, you know, I was chilled. and also chill. but mostly chilled.




actually it sounds kinda lame when I put it like that remind me to never explain that again to anyone

[Also please admire the way he still managed to not tell his name. Which. you know, is probably pretty stupid, given that 295395748 people here could give it up and mention it in a conversation. Like they did with Klaus, the traitors.]

[animalize]

[ God, Stiles is the worst kind of person ever. At least, she's fairly sure it's supposed to be Stiles. Even if he's being cagey as hell. ]

your last name isn't inski right?

[ Just to make sure. ]

[figureitout]

[BUT WHY WOULD YOU SAY THAT. Most of the time he's even on your side of the whole "let's murder people" thing (which, granted, has been making an appearance less often as of late, but the point still stands), how is he the worst?? ..... also you would be cagey, too, if you'd been stuck in Snowhell and plagued by actual monsters and hallucinations and paranoia for a month.]

uhhh no. just like your name isn't "asdfghjkl". ... probably.

[Because clearly saying that is so much easier and more convenient and answers to everything better than it would be to go "hey so malia is this you".]

[animalize]

[ She'll have to make Stiles more murderous again. :') Malia's beginning to grow tired of this dancing around the truth thing, and she's pretty sure it's him, so. She gives up the cageyness. ]

oh my god stiles
it's malia stop being weird

[figureitout]

I'm not weird!

okay fine I was weird, but you could've been a mass-murderer pretending to be you, I was totally justified in thinking that was a possibility here, okay.

[It takes him a second until there's a continuation to the message, this time a video, because despite his trust-no-one mantra, he's actually trusting that it's you. Mostly because no one could probably fake being you so well -- so, here, enjoy a nice video of Stiles, sitting on a wooden floor, dark shadows under his eyes and probably looking slightly more haggard than Malia would be used to.]

Uh, so, hey. I haven't actually decided yet if I'm pissed you're stuck here too or if it's really great to see you, I mean, read you writing stuff, I haven't actually seen you, but, yeah, anyway. [Anyway what? That part is left a mystery, as he runs a hand through his hair and that's the entirety of the message for now.]

[animalize]

[ When Malia flicks on the video function, her hair is shorter, a surefire indicator that time has passed back at home. It is her, though, despite the new look. Same stony-faced demeanor, even though the corner of her mouth quirks up when she sees his face. It makes her feel less alone. Less freaked out. ]

Well, I'm pissed I'm stuck here.

[figureitout]

[He can't help the sigh of relief at the sight of her, the slightest way his otherwise tensed-up look softens a little bit.]

Don't get me wrong, I'm pissed too, like, so pissed, and I've been here for... what, 32 days now? Over a month, oh my god. But what I meant was, I'm not exactly happy to be stuck here and I'm less happy you're stuck here, but I also haven't seen you or, like, anyone for over a month. So.

[..... you know. He doesn't do too well, not seeing any of you, not knowing if you were safe home or dead somewhere here or something even worse. Turned into those shadow monsters. It could've happened.

Also.] Nice hair. [He means it, it looks nice on you.]
