this is what we call a voicetest.

You really think this is such a good idea? [ He obviously doesn't. ] We both have plenty of other things to focus on - more important things, in my case - so why don't you just run off and play with someone else and leave me alone?

And no, that someone else does not include my daughter. Don't think for a second that I haven't noticed what you've been doing with her.

[Have a laugh] You think they think? they don't care about plans either.

[hardchoices]

She just needs a little convincing, that's all. [ Keep telling yourself that, Chris. ]

[weaponmadeperfect]

gun point doesn't work just so you know. Me an' Red have been tryin' that one for a few years.

And don't even get started on threatening to hack their computers. If you're lucky you get stuffed in a box.

[hardchoices]

Believe it or not but I wasn't actually planning on trying either of those options. [ Though gun point is tempting, he has no reason to threaten his mun like that. He's just planning on staying as quiet as possible. ] I appreciate the head's up, however.

[weaponmadeperfect]

Guess I tend to start with that. [She shrugs]

And no problem.

[seeksafriend]

Really isn't all bad, what she's been doing with Allison.

[hardchoices]

[ Do you value your life at all, Jackson? Do you? ] I didn't ask for your opinion.

[seeksafriend]

[ You can't hurt him, he lives in someone else's head entirely. ] Yeah, well. Maybe you should have.

[hardchoices]

[ ...he'll figure out a way. :| ] Why? It's not going to change my opinion any.

[seeksafriend]

[ No. ] Oh, suit yourself.

[imalwaysright]

Are you trying to reason with your mun? Cause I can tell you from personal experience: it really doesn't work.

[hardchoices]

So I've been told. [ But he's more persuasive than other people. Or so he thinks. ] I'm almost afraid to ask what your's has been doing with you.

[imalwaysright]

So far nothing too bad.

If I don't count all the memes and the random not game stuff- because I really don't like to remember that. On the upside, I get to train pokemon. It doesn't make up for everything, but it does make up for a lot.

[hardchoices]

[ He's not going to ask about the memes and stuff; that's where Allison's getting into the most trouble. And, quite possibly, where Chris is headed next.

His eyebrows lift slightly but it's hard to tell if the curling of his lips is an amused grin or a judgmental one. ] Pokemon?

[imalwaysright]

It's a video game for Nintendo systems? It's still really popular. Actually, it has a cartoon and a couple of comics too. [Well, either way, Stiles is talking because that's what he does best]

[burninhale]

You know, I do sympathize with the difficulty of controlling teenagers, but even I think you take it a bit far. Let's not make this any more of a Greek tragedy than it already is, hmm?

[hardchoices]

[ What is it with you werewolves/kanimas and your butting your noses in where they don't belong? :| ]

If I ever need advice on how to tear people to pieces, I'll be sure to give you a call, but I don't need lessons on how to deal with teenagers.

[burninhale]

[He and Derek are basically every single place they shouldn't be, all the time. Must be some kind of quantum were-power.]

Yes, you've done so well with Allison and Scott. You sure handled them.

[hardchoices]

[ Whatever it is, Chris doesn't appreciate it very much.

His jaw clenches, more in irritation than anything, before he responds. ] It wouldn't be a problem if you could keep your fangs to yourself.

[burninhale]

Do you really want to go down the road of "you started it," Chris? Because this particular road starts with your sister. Couldn't I just as justifiably say it wouldn't be a problem if your sister could keep her mass killing and arson to herself? To say nothing of what she did to Derek.

[braces]

I don't think it's that easy, dad.

[hardchoices]

It never is. [ He settles a hand on her shoulder briefly, giving it a light squeeze before he drops his arm back to his side. ] How are you, Allison? [ Read: Is yours sending you anywhere? ]

[braces]

[ As frustrating as he can be at times, that's how all dads are. In the end that touch is definitely reassuring. ]

I'll be fine.

I think my mun found a home for me. A place where she hopes I'm as challenged as I am in Beacon Hills.

[hardchoices]

[ That definitely doesn't sit well with him. He wants nothing more than to protect her, keep her safe, and the idea of her going somewhere without him to at least try to keep an eye on her-- ]

Where's that? [ He manages to keep his voice even, almost causal. ]

[braces]

It's called Abax. [ She says with an amount of determination in her voice. ]

I'm not afraid of it.
