002 ( text / action )
Missing: one teenage girl. 5'3, strawberry blonde hair, green eyes, fair skin. last seen around 48 hours ago, wearing green dress, boots, and a black jacket. subject may be hostile but unarmed. report sightings or location to this ID.
[ that's all he's putting on the network, because he's hoping - fuck, he really is - that someone's seen her. it seemed like everything was okay - awkward, but okay. but she hasn't been back to the apartment in two days and stiles has torn up and down omega looking for her. and then aria's announcement saying she was thinking of letting people get shot -
no, calm down, stiles. maybe she just got lost. hell, even kidnapped.
without a ransom?
he heads for the markets again. maybe there's someone who's seen lydia. maybe he'll find lydia again. but there's a dejected drop in his shoulders that says he's starting to lose hope. ]

action forever; nnnnnope
[ stiles likes joker, despite - or maybe because of - their odd relationship. joker gives stiles flying lessons, stiles dents his shuttle... it's all good, right?
he's hanging around an empty stall that an asari once worked in and he looks up when he sees joker. ]
Not yet. [ but then he shrugs his shoulders. ] But I mean, she's a genius, right? She could be hiding somewhere.
yyyyyyup.
maybe because he reminds him a lot of himself when he was that age. except .. not as twitchy.
his mouth pulls to the side in a small frown when he says he hasn't found anything.] She's a genius? Then how'd she manage to get herself lost in the first place?
no subject
the frown and the subsequent question makes him throw up his hands a little. ]
Yes she's a genius, but this isn't anything like home, dude! I don't blame her for getting lost that first time.
[ now, though, he's not sure she has an excuse. ]
no subject
well, either way. free ride.
he makes a face at the flailing. doesn't think he's ever going to get used to that. sheesh.] Okay, okay. Just .. calm down. Go pop some ritalin or something, jesus. You don't have any idea where she could be?
no subject
I take adderall, for your information. Congratulations, you're my emergency contact now.
[ no he's lying, that's not happening. at the question though, he shakes his head, scrubbing a hand over his hair. ]
I checked the clinic, I checked the markets, the landing pad, hell, I went through some of the other districts.
[ :c ]
no subject
[but he makes a thoughtful noise in the back of his throat, tilting his head to the side in contemplation. he's pretty much checked everywhere joker might have suggested, and he really doesn't know where else to look.
except he really can't stand the broken look on the kid's face. they need to do something.] And absolutely no sign of her at all?
no subject
[ and wow, that reminds him of his dad - which is just another thought he doesn't need to have in conjunction with losing lydia. he makes a small noise and rubs his hand under his nose.
he's not crying :| ]
Not anything. I guess I'm gonna have to find a way into like, Afterlife or check some mining districts at this point.
no subject
not that he's going to say as much out loud. because that would be too easy. or something.
but the hears that noise - sees that bit of movement out of the corner of his eye and he wants to say something - because he can tell that the comment has him thinking about his father, and it has to be hard being a teenager in a strange place and not having your family close to you.
damn.
he doesn't say anything, of course, because there is a part of him that allows some tact to remain in place - as hard as it might be to believe - but he's nodding like he hadn't seen anything at all and is completely on board with the plan.] Do you think she would have even bothered to try getting into Afterlife? Because I'm pretty sure if you're gonna have to think of a way to get in there, she would have, too.
[pause.] But since I'm such an old man, if you really think there's a chance she might be there, I can go look for you.
no subject
and before he can really sink into missing them and adding lydia to the people that he doesn't have, joker speaks about afterlife.
it's enough distraction that stiles snorts. ]
Yeah, cause going in there would be such a hardship, right?
[ stiles says it sarcastically, but he sighs heavily after a moment. ]
I just want to make sure I've looked everywhere. Leave no stone unturned and all that.
no subject
and now he's thinking about it again, and it isn't the time. so he .. makes an attempt to stop.
he grins cheekily at stiles' comment, shrugging.] Gotta take one for the team when the opportunity presents itself, right?
[pause.] I'm trying to think of anywhere else you could look that you haven't, already.
no subject
[ stiles practically wails it, latching onto something so he doesn't have to think about how he misses his dad. he still misses lydia, though, and he buries his face in his hands again. ]
Maybe she's really dead.
[ that's a very bitter sound. he did all this work to keep her safe only to lose her anyway. ]
no subject
[he really doesn't know what the hell he can do to make stiles feel better about all of this. he might not be the most optimistic guy around, might tend to lean toward humor in dire situations to take some of the severity out of them, but this?
he doesn't think that's going to work.
joker scrubs a hand over the back of his neck and sighs.] Let's just keep looking. If I hear you talk like that again, I'm gonna knock your ass out. It's not gonna help.
[.. best uncle ever.]
no subject
[ that should sting, because last time he said that, he did get his ass knocked out. but it's joker, it's someone he's come to trust, a little, even if they're all rough around the edges. but that's okay. nothing is ever sunshine and puppies for stiles. ]
I'm not gonna stop looking. [ he admits it after a moment. ] Not unless I have proof - proof of something, anyway.
[ a body, or evidence. he can try. ]
