Stiles was lounging in his favourite spot on the floor, half leaning on the coffee table as he stared up at Wheel of Fortune.  Y/N had curled up on the couch behind him.  There wasn't much on at eleven am on a Tuesday so they had settled for Wheel, despite the fact that neither of them liked it much.  They only usually sat through the end of it while waiting for Jeopardy!

Nevertheless, Stiles bit at his nail as he tried to solve the current puzzle.  "Something something... Habits? Rabbits? What do you think?"

When Y/N didn't reply, Stiles glanced behind him to see her eyes shut, lips slightly parted as she breathed deeply.

"Oh," He mouthed.

He slowly reached for the remote to turn the volume down.

"Stiles..." Y/N's voice came from behind him then, barely audible even above the now quiet tv.

Stiles turned back, about to apologize for waking her, but when he did, he saw that her eyes were still closed.  His brow furrowed in confusion. Had he been hearing things?

But then, exactly as it had sounded a moment before, Y/N mumbled Stiles’ name again, and this time he saw her lips form the word before she rolled over onto her other side.

Stiles stayed put, frozen in bewilderment as he watched the slow rise and fall of her back.  Allison had often teased Y/N about her sleep talking, but this was the first time Stiles had witnessed it for himself.  What did it mean that she was saying his name?  Was it just because he had been the last person she had spoken to while awake? Or was she... Dreaming about him?

Realizing that he was now just staring at her like a creep, Stiles abruptly turned back to face the tv. But although his eyes remained locked on the screen for the remainder of Wheel of Fortune, he couldn't quite seem to focus on the puzzles anymore.

*

Y/N hadn't meant to fall asleep, but as soon as she had stretched out and rested her head on the worn arm of the couch, it hadn't taken long before she dozed off.

When her eyes opened sometime later, it was as if nothing had changed.  Stiles was still hunched over the table in front of her, his arms splayed out across its surface.  Y/N smiled.  Then she asked, "What time is it?"

She saw Stiles jump slightly before turning his head slightly towards her.  Then, he glanced down at his phone.  "Just after two."

"Mm," she said, stretching out her legs, giving her toes a wiggle.  She looked to the tv then and squinted at the screen.  "Are you watching Maury?"

"Uh," Stiles said, head back down on the table.  "I guess so.  I kinda spaced out."

Y/N chuckled, but then looked towards her own phone on the end table next to her head and saw a blinking light indicating an unread message.  She quickly grabbed it and read the text.

"Allison says they're still just waiting," Y/N relayed to Stiles.  "Apparently the other pack hasn't moved."

"Huh," Stiles said.  "They must be waiting for someone on Derek's side to fold first."

"They're going to be waiting for a while," Y/N said.  Then something caught her attention and her eyes widened in shock as she glanced down at Stiles' back where a splotch of deep red had bloomed across his white t-shirt.  "Stiles - your back."

"Huh?" Stiles lifted his head off the table slightly. "I've been here the whole time."

"No," Y/N shook her head. "Your back.  It's bleeding.  I thought you said you took care of it?"

"Oh," Stiles said.  He strained his neck to inspect things for himself. Then, "Oh.  Well, I did, but you know, just a quick bandage job..."

Y/N sat upright, wide awake now. "You'd better let me take a look at it."

"I'm fine," Stiles said stubbornly. "Seriously, it barely hurts."

But Y/N could be stubborn too. "Come on."

She got up from the couch and stared down at Stiles with her hands on her hips.

He looked up at her, unmoving, for a solid ten seconds before finally caving. "Alright, alright."

Y/N led him to the kitchen table where he sat down as she went to retrieve a first aid kit from the nearest bathroom.  When she returned, Stiles had removed his t-shirt and was sitting backwards on the chair, arms crossed over the back of it.

Y/N pulled up a chair behind him and took a closer look.  He had, indeed, somehow managed to half-hazardly bandage himself up, but the guaze was now nearly completely soaked through with blood.

Gently as she could, Y/N peeled the bandage off and inhaled sharply as she took in the state of the wound that ran down his shoulder blade.  She could tell he hadn't cleaned it out properly - pus seeped from its edges and dark, sticky blood still pooled within it.  "Oh, Stiles."

"Is it bad?"

"It wouldn't have been if you'd let someone help you with it yesterday."

Stiles didn't say anything.  Y/N opened up the kit and unscrewed a bottle of rubbing alcohol which she then poured onto a cotton pad.  She raised it to the cut and paused.  "This might sting "

Stiles' back tensed in anticipation.  Not wanting to delay the unpleasant inevitable, Y/N dabbed the top of the gash with the alcohol soaked cotton.  Stiles hissed at the contact, flinching away.

"I know," Y/N said, pausing.  "I'm sorry."

"It's okay," Stiles said, teeth gritted.  "Let's just get this over with."

So Y/N continued, working her way down the length of the wound, stopping only to get a fresh cotton pad.  When she was finally satisfied with the sterilization of the cut, she pulled out a roll each of gauze and medical tape.  She then unspooled the gauze, measuring alongside the gash before cutting off a piece of it.  Gently, she laid it over top of the wound and held it in place with the tips of her fingers as she reached for the tape.

"Here," she said, leaning forward to pass the roll to Stiles.  "Cut me off a few pieces of this."

He took it, along with the pair of scissors, and did as she asked. Taking the strips he cut for her, Y/N secured the bandage.

"Okay, all done," she said.

She leaned back in her chair and Stiles straightened up.   He twisted and stretched, testing out the job she had done, and Y/N's cheeks burned as she watched the muscles in his back flex from the movement, his bare skin, dotted with numerous constellations of freckles and moles, pulling taut.

"That does feel a lot better," Stiles said.  "Thanks."

"Don't mention it," Y/N said quickly, getting up out of her seat.

She busied herself with packing up the supplies as Stiles stood too and pulled his shirt back over his head.

He frowned.  "Actually, I should probably wash this.  Be right back."

Only when he was gone and she heard the thudding sounds of him running up the stairs did Y/N realize how quickly her heart had been beating.  She let out a long, steadying breath.

A few minutes later she heard Stiles coming down the stairs and turned to see first his feet, followed by the rest of his body, now sporting a black t-shirt and holding his phone at his side.  Y/N's stomach dropped when his face came into view, his colour drained, his expression anguished.

"What is it?" She asked. "Scott and Allison - ?"

"No, no.  I, uh - My dad just called," Stiles was staring blankly down at his phone.  His throat bobbed as he looked up at Y/N. "Apparently there was a message left at the station.”

Y/N blinked.  "A message from - ?"

Stiles moved to join her in the kitchen and simply nodded, knowing that they both knew whom they were speaking of.  Her captor.  Whoever he was.

Y/N's arm reached behind her to grab hold of the back of her chair. She slowly lowered herself down.  "What did it say?”

"It just said, ‘I’ll be back’," Stiles looked as if relaying this information was causing him great pain.

An involuntary shiver ran down Y/N’s spine.

Stiles sighed heavily and leaned against the island in front of her.  "My dad asked if you’d be up for making your statement now.  You might know something that could help find him, or someone working with him."

Y/N had known this was coming.  "Okay."

"I'm sorry," Stiles said, and he truly looked it.

Y/N blew out a breath.  She felt surprisingly composed when she said, "It's okay.  It's probably better if I just get it over with."

Stiles nodded.  “I’ll let my dad know."

Veil Episode 2 Part 3.5+4

Previously, we played what was supposed to be a short session that I didn’t summarise in which the gang sans Synch took crescent moon to go shopping for some casual clothing! 

A lot of things happened in that one but the important take-aways were...

Ariel and Fortuna were told about the kamen rider man having kidnapped Crescent Moon’s mother figure, Heartful Vale, Ariel cried about the date that she had with Crescent moon, Will asked Fortuna to talk to Ariel and Crescent Moon about their budding relationship, unaware of her part in the equation, Will continued to harass Old New Underground teens, and Blessed Lee Outrageous tried to get Senza to talk to Denno’s Coil, but framed it in such a way that made it seem like he was trying to get her to perform emotional labor so she told him to fuck off.

Also Fortuna drank 5 Crescent Shooting Stars, the Constellation Coffee exclusive Crescent Moon themed drink, winner her Official Crescent Moon Wolf Ears. That was that session more or less, then they went to Quid University.

Synch started the focus of our next session, today, waking up before everyone else at the place the Eyes on the Inside are staying at, leaving a note for Burning, and then leaving out the window, having stolen a Crescent Moon shirt from him. They then checked their texts and took a taxi to the school to meet up with the others.

Quidama-Dre University is, a very interesting school, described as a mix between being extremely brutalist utilitarian and also having a large number of post-modern buildings, the kind that look like they’re melting or glitched or have other various things like that. There’s also a hideous modern art piece. 

Crescent Moon is in awe at the sight of all of these people, and having only seen such numbers when people were there to see her, and not just hanging out or being there or just living their own lives. However, rather than try to go off or observe and wonder, or try to steal the costume of the mascot, Qutie the Chakat, Crescent Moon instead is struck by the look for horror on Fortuna’s face of dread at having to solve her problems. Crescent Moon asks whats wrong, causing Fortuna to give an about face as she says that she just has to deal with her responsibilities and then gives Crescent her number, so that she can give any advice related to love.

Synch arrives as Fortuna leaves to deal with her duties, informing the party about getting their texts. Senza hands Synch a fancy looking box, claiming that as there is a Thicker than Blood event on campus, this will help convince them that Synch’s ruse (that they’re dating Senza) is legitimate. Synch checks if its ticking (it is) and decides to open it, finding a rather fancy watch that has some gears, an arcane weird knob, and a very particular kind of aesthetic. Synch says they’ll wear it later, which Senza uses as an opportunity to chastise them, asking if they even know what time it is. 

Crescent walks up and asks the group whats going on, and Senza vaguely gestures at the fake dating situation, then starts to lead Crescent to the quad, to show the idol more people, and fufill her curiosity.

Fortuna has at this point gone to her lab and corners her T.A., a horned dude with a flannel shirt named Pierce, who is the T.A. Fortuna has worked with the most, and coincidentally actually likes Crescent Moon the least of all of Fortuna’s T.A.’s. Fortuna wants Pierce to not go to the concert like the other T.A.’s so that they can administer an important test instead of Fortuna having to do this, when she is planning on still protecting Crescent Moon then. Her angle to convince Pierce to do this is to introduce him to the virtual idol, to which he isn’t convinced, not really believing her and going back to doing what he was doing after posting about how nonsensical the situation is online. Her problems remain unsolved....

Upon seeing that the quad is overrun by Thicker than Blood, for the purposes of their recruitment event, Ariel pushes for the group to visit the library, partially so that they can also do some research. On their way there, Senza and Crescent moon are caught on camera, and when they arrive at the library, Senza gets a call from a friend in the literature department who asks if she’s with Crescent Moon. Senza figures out that she was caught on camera with the idol, hangs up, and tells the group about this. Synch blames Senza for their lack of subtlety and Ariel decides to do their research and asks if theres anything they need to know first, to which Synch says yes, but that they need to talk privately first. Senza also wants to speak with Ariel, but Will needs Senza’s help dealing with people who have maybe noticed Crescent Moon, as she’s a teacher.

Synch and Ariel talk about the Angelic Threads, the group that created Ariel, the very name adding even more disgust and contempt for them. They want to make them pay for what they’ve done, but they assume that Synch isn’t going to help. Ariel then tells Synch about the things they learned last night involving the masked armored man. Synch asks about when the picture was taken, then whines when there isn’t an answer. The two agree that maybe this situation shouldn’t be underestimated and that they shouldn’t have gone to such a public place, that the people following Crescent around seem to be extremely dangerous.

Meanwhile, Will is making some mild success at making Crescent Moon more inconspicuous while Senza attempts to use LACUNA to hack into some of the libraries filters to prevent people in the library from talking about the idol. What happens instead is that LACUNA uses the access to the libraries systems to spy on Synch and Ariel, learning all of the secret information they gave each other. Ariel notices that they’re being watched, or something, and learns that LACUNA is watching her. Senza opts to warn the friend that called her about things going wrong soon and then takes Ariel into LACUNA’s reading room so that it will be easier to try get the important information that they desire. 

Ariel begins with information on their attacker from the other night, finally allowing me to name the kamen rider man as Blood Root and learning that he was an alleged psychic who Snow Vision Structure apprehended, and was presumed killed. Ariel then tries to find out stuff about the Angelic Threads, discovering through various means, that these people call themselves Angels and desire to advance humanity as a means to Open Heaven. Ariel also discovers that they have agents in at least the Investigative Bureau, Snow Vision Structure, and the Seat of Judges. Senza, who needs more time to process this says that they should begin to leave when Ariel asks why Senza was spying on them. When she stumbles on explaining, not wanting to give Ariel the details on LACUNA, Ariel gives up and lets it go for now.

Synch is found by a harried Blessed Lee Outrageous who warns Synch about TtB going after them on Denno’s orders. When they ask why, he says that he doesn’t know, but he doesn’t trust it. Synch calls Denno’s a bitch and tells the group about it as Blessed Lee runs away. Senza tells Synch that she didn’t tell them about Blessed Lee’s previous conversation because it seemed to be about something more personal and less weird. 

Fortuna’s troubles meanwhile are that she once again fails to convince Pierce to do her job, citing the ability to have him work with Emperor Epoch, who’s lab focuses on far more interesting and real archaeology rather than hers. She could set up a transfer as he owes her a favor, but Pierce once again is disinterested. At this moment, Bicker Boulder, the Investigative Bureau person who requested an interview with Fortuna asks for her time, seeming very worried for one reason or another. The two go into Fortuna’s office and Bicker asks about Denno and Senza, saying that she saw something but wants to speak with Senza about it, as she isn’t sure about other things. At that moment, Pierce tells Fortuna that some TtB goons came looking for her, but they sent them away. Fortuna thanks Pierce and then asks Bicker how badly she wants to come with her. When Bicker affirms her desire, Fortuna locks her door from the inside with a chair, takes a coffee maker, and prepares to leave via the window. 

She falls, breaks the coffee maker, and Bicker follows and drags and then lifts her up.

Senza was prepared for this situation and gives out disguises for the group, giving Crescent Moon a rather fashionable disguise while the others get less pretty people. They all appear to be just normal college students. She also sends out a distraction, a fake Crescent, elsewhere on campus. The group manage to elude Thicker than Blood but overhear some of them running and trying to find Fortuna. Senza offers to go find her and Synch follows along. Will doesn’t have a reason to think this situation is serious, something that she will learn she is wrong about later. 

Synch and Senza arrive at Fortuna’s lab, a bit messy but otherwise empty, finding the door to her office blocked. Synch uses their detective vision (psychic powers) to discern that a lot of nervous and scared people were around, with a group of people trying to come into the lab, leaving, then trying to go into the office before another person came in and they all left. Synch then explodes the door open and sees the Fortuna shaped marks on the floor outside the window.

When the duo go down there, there’s a Thicker than Blood person upset over the lackluster trail, who asks what Senza (in disguise) wants. She explains that she was sent by Senza to find Fortuna, to which the TtB guy tries to use to his advantage, asking her to guide her to her professor. Senza says she will, guides him to the woods, and then neutralizes him, tying him up to a tree and confirming via his confiscated walkie-talkie that Fortuna hasn’t been apprehended yet. 

Synch and Senza unite, the former secretly using their psychic powers to make the captive less scared and more peaceful, so that the latter can interrogate them. They explain that the reason that all of them are so hectically going after the group is because Denno cut a deal with someone scary looking, who made an example of one of them via the nanomachines that all of the Thicker than Blood people consume as a part of their initiation. Senza uses LACUNA to isolate the nanomachine’s signals, neutralize them, and then figure out where Denno’s Coil is. He’s on his way to Snow Vision Structure, because, of course he is.

Senza then gets a text from Fortuna, saying that she’s ok she just fell.

Back at the apartment, Will, Crescent Moon, and Ariel, in that order, are watching television. Will texts Ariel that she wants to talk about work and they agree and then leaves. Will excuses herself as well and in the other room, asks about what she found with her research. Ariel decides to lie about finding nothing of value, which is obvious to Will, who can read body language. Will attempts to ask about why and how, to which Ariel just talks about having done her normal methods and getting nothing, which Will sees and pierces through, learning that Ariel is angry at her and wants her to go away. Will realizes that appeasing Ariel will not work, says that she knows they’re lying, and that they just want to deal with things, they just want to keep Crescent Moon and everyone safe, that she should start acting like she really cares about fixing things. Ariel rebukes by going off on the Seat of Judges, saying that they only care about maintaining the status quo, and can’t help her, chastising Will for not knowing the name of her creators! Will responds with simply saying that it’s true, she doesn’t know anything, she can’t know anything because Ariel doesn’t tell her anything, and she can’t help if she doesn’t know anything in the first place. Ariel angrily reveals that they don’t trust Will because the Seat of Judges is in her creators pockets, something Will can’t respond to easily. Instead, she tries to use the obligation that she has on Ariel in order to get the information out one way or another. Ariel promises to tell Will the information later, when Crescent Moon is safe, so instead Will asks for the information on Blood Root, which they give.

Will goes into another room and contacts her hacker, Zed, and using him and the Seat’s database, discovers Blood Root’s location and discovers that he’s somehow shackled to SVS, being unable to go very far from them for very long, currently holed up in a warehouse both owned and not owned by SVS. 

She sends this information to Ariel directly.

We end on Denno inside a SVS vehicle, speaking with a mysterious and dangerous person with a chiselled body, long hair, and military clothing with a patch that has a stormy snow insignia that in a mysterious flash of the veil’s light, changes to the symbol of the Angelic Threads. Denno says that they shouldn’t have made all of the TtB so scared, to which the other man says that it was necessary to make them understand the gravity of the situation. He also says that their deal is still on, and to just not worry about it anymore. Denno asks if Senza and the others are going to be okay, and he laughs saying that Whitefall is committed to doing whatever it takes.
