[ it has taken him three days to convince himself to talk to all of Audentes about this — three days that he now wishes he hadn't waited, because with the information from Jason and Lucina, and their numbers already depleted because of the virus... all he's doing is taking people's attention away from finding Dr. Percy.
if it was about anyone else, he wouldn't be doing this. but right now, he couldn't care less if they find the doctor or not. finding someone else takes priority for him. ]
Hey guys... it's Stiles. [ not a great start, as far as speeches go, but maybe some of that can be attributed to the fact he sounds roughly like he's forgotten what sleep is supposed to even be. ]
Look, I know we've got a lot going on right now, finding the fake doctor, all that. But, just listen for a second, okay? Peter's missing. [ a pause as he swallows before powering on; he gives no further explanations about who exactly he's talking about: anyone who has been following Team Science should know Peter, after all. ] And not in the "he was probably transferred" way, the "he's totally infected and ran away after leaving his magitek behind" way. It's been three days, I've searched the city, like, a thousand and ten times but he's —
I don't know where he is. So if you can spare some time to help me look for him... that'd be great. [ the fact that he's actually asking for help with this tells just how dire the situation has gotten.
another pause — it almost seems like he's going to end it there, but he continues, voice tight, ] But be careful if you actually find him. He's — [ god, how does he warn people and still keep Peter's secret identity? is that even something he should be worrying about right now?? ]
He's going to be more dangerous than your usual infected person. [ there, that'll have to do. ]
Just, if you have any news about him, any leads... let me know. Please. [ with that not-at-all-desperate-sounding closing statement, he ends the post. ]
( ooc: so peter is infected and needs to be found, if you'd like to volunteer for actual threads w the infected party comment to the ooc post and/or hit up katy, or if you want to thread out actual searching hit me up here! )

[That's not the point. He'd expected a description, not a picture, but this is a lot more useful. Maybe. He hasn't seen the guy so far, but that doesn't mean he won't.]
I haven't seen him. Sorry. Are you sure he's been infected?
no subject
[ anyway — ]
No, he just keeps eating non-stop and losing his mind and lashing out at me for fun, I'm pretty sure breaking my arm is just a fun, normal pastime. [ his tone is sharp, too sharp, something that he seems to realize just a beat later. ]
... sorry. I — I shouldn't have said that. [ he's just on edge, too much so, and snapping at others is all too easy.
(he ignores the other explanation for why he's snapping at others, why his patience keeps running out, why he can't sleep, why his skin is so pale when he looks at himself in the mirror. he doesn't have time for that, now.) ]
no subject
It's okay. He's your friend, you're worried... I get it.
no subject
[ I can't keep snapping at them for that, he thinks, swallowing the words. god, he feels so fundamentally, thoroughly useless. ]
He's the closest friend I've got, here. Just... let me know if you see him, okay?
no subject
If I see him I'll tell you.
no subject
[ he pauses for a second — he hates speaking of it like this, giving away even a touch of the secret he's sworn to keep, but... but it's not like he has much of a choice. Peter made sure of that. ]
... and if you do see him, just — don't engage, okay? Don't draw his attention. Just — just leave and call me, okay?
no subject
[Stiles is so young. It's not like he hasn't seen what teenagers can be capable of. Sonia is scarily adept in combat. He can't shake off a feeling of responsibility for young teammates though.]
You'll be careful? You won't try to do anything dumb?
no subject
[ his answer, as much as it at another point would have carried humor, a sense of faux-innocence, now only comes with the barest touch of wryness, exhaustion saturating his every word.
he'd do anything, anything. but then — he never does consider the lengths he goes for those he cares about dumb... it's just necessary. it's the only choice he can live with. ]
no subject
[That makes it sound a lot more certain than it is. In reality Oliver knows it's unlikely he's going to run into him.]
If I see him.
no subject
[ it isn't — it never is. he only means it as far as Oliver can tell, that he won't do anything dumb that'd ever get back to Oliver. he doesn't get it... sometimes, you just have no choice. ]
... yeah. If.
no subject
[He's not sure he trusts him, but... he doesn't know him. It's hard for him to know either way.]
I hope he shows up safe.
no subject
[ it's all he hopes for, really. that they find him, that he's safe. ]
