isaac stood outside on the steps, earbuds in with the music blasting so loudly that you could hear it from a few feet away. he was singing along to it as he swung his hips and shoulders in the most unintentional awkward dance, pointing out to an invisible audience as he spun around and then struck a pose. the music continued pounding in his ears as he got more into his imaginary performance, having no care for the time of night or the fact he was in a neighborhood. “ i need you to love me more! “ he belted out, dragging out the last word as the song finished and he realized the door behind him had opened. “ jo! “ isaac yanked out an earbud and hit her with a goofy grin as he panted, out of breath. “ took you fucking forever to come out, i texted you like fifteen minutes ago, dude. “
Looking up at Isaac , amara took a deep breath . She was already mad but didn’t want to take it out on him . She was helping him in the only way she knew how . at least the correct way in her mind . Still he was little too … overall nice and sometimes jumpy . “ Don’t apologize .” She told him . It was her fault mostly so he shouldn’t have to when its the others fault . “ Laura hale being cut in half ? Did I do it ? No. If I were going to kill someone the body wouldn’t be found . “ She replied to him bluntly . “ I’m fine … Although maybe I should be asking you that ?”
The automatic apology that was coming died immediately in his throat once she spoke, swallowing it down as he shifted uncomfortably when she made the comment about the body. “ I wasn’t asking if you did it, I know you didn’t, “ he replied, slight roll of his eyes at her question. “ I’m fine. I swear, I’m not going to lose control over.. this. I was just worried you had gotten wrapped up in it. “ Isaac took a step back and glanced her over quickly, trying to regain control over his nerves. “ You’re like the only other wolf, if you got split in half too I’d be back to square one. “
the fresh air was a balm to her soul , and as of late , she’d been jumping at any reason to leave the house . not to spend time with people , but … just because her home had lost a lot of the comfort it had once had . now , she just had a difficult time breathing when its walls were closed around her . with the recent body found , things weren’t much better outside , but beggars couldn’t be choosers . she came across someone who was clearly struggling a bit , and while she should’ve been avoiding people in general , her nature simply wouldn’t allow it . ‘ no no , not at all . you just look like you’re having some issues , are you alright ? ’
adam paused, considering the other person for a moment before sighing and falling back to sit on his butt on the ground. “ yes, just stuck with an inability to keep track of my things. “ he gave her a half smile, waving towards where his bike was locked up. “ i somehow lost my keys in the ten minute walk from my apartment to here. and i really don’t want to walk anywhere but i finished the last of my coffee and desperately need to buy more. “ the last sentence probably came out more of a whine then he intended but he couldn’t care at the moment.
the young man hummed gently along to the music coming from his headphones as he walked up to where his bike was chained, he fiddled through his pockets for a few minutes with no luck. adam could've sworn the key had just been in there when he left, but it had mysteriously disappeared .getting more frustrated, he tossed his bag onto the ground and crouched down next to it to do a deeper search inside of it. unaware to his surroundings, he startled himself when he pulled off his headphones and noticed someone else there. " hey! am i in your way? "
availability: open to everyone !
location: a café found in alderrest town square .
the local radio station’s app was open on his phone , playing the station that came highly recommended by the town’s residents . the boy was able to tell right away that something was off about the area , and going by the recent broadcast , that hunch was proving to be correct . taking a seat at the first café he came across , sam set up his laptop , ready to start looking into the town and its history . ordering a coffee with plenty of cream and sugar , he barely even registered someone pausing at his table .
isaac was trying to fill out some job applications and mooch off of some free wifi hopefully on his day off. however when he scanned the cafe he saw that the table he really wanted to sit at was taken by someone he didn’t recognize. the young wolf sighed heavily before slinging his backpack further up on his shoulder and approaching sam. “ excuse me, but you’re at the only seat with an outlet. i need it for my laptop. can you share? “
“—-Oh, yeah because I’m clearly the one who killed her , you dumb fucking pieces of useless shits . “ Amara since coming here was known to the humans as strange . the girl who lived in the woods . Somewhat of an outcast . it didn’t help that some still resented her for putting 3 of them in the hospital . Not that they cared what they thought about her . “ Want me to I want to commit the murder you pigs want to imprison me for ? Because I can do that right now . so don’t tempt me . ” they lowly growled . refraining from her eyes glowing in annoyance . Of course , she lived around the very same woods laura was found and well , last night they were conveniently in bed at someone else’s home . A girl has needs . walking away from the two officers who brought them in , amara found herself bumping into someone as they turned the corner .
isaac was incredibly on edge after the news broke, even with his introduction to the supernatural world the idea of someone being hurt in such a brutal way had him shaken up. his secondary thoughts after the shock had been concern for amara, they’d been saying it had happened in the woods near where he knew she lived. isaac knew she could take care of herself but he wanted to check and a phone call seemed too impersonal. hence why he was speed walking and not paying attention, flinching when he bumped into someone. “ sorry- amara. hey! i was looking for you. the radio, the.. thing? was it-did you-” he paused, taking a second to catch his breath. “ are you okay? “
it seems like isaac lahey has been seen around town, humming twin size mattress by the front bottoms under their breath. apparently they are a 23 year old werewolf. townsfolk whisper about them being empathetic and devoted, but also snarky and defensive. they’ve been in town for their whole life, and give off the vibes of icy cold lakes covered in ice, oversized sweaters with sleeves pulled over hands, broken knuckles covered in cartoon character bandaids.
tw for below; mentions of abuse ( i kept it to canon regarding what happened to isaac in that aspect ).

personality stuff
isaac is v sarcastic & snarky like will absolutely have a snarky comment whenever he can
is extremely loyal to his friends, the family he had to make himself after things fell apart at home.
fidgets with his hands often, has trouble staying still for longer than a few minutes, will be constantly moving.
use to hate silence but now since becoming a werewolf, he's learned to just pick up on more noises so it's never really silence.
will pick a fight sometimes, not necessarily a physical one but maybe a verbal one- you say mustard is gross and he's feeling up to it he'll argue with you over it till you're both laughing at the absurdity of it.
very bisexual & has lots of bi panic
okay the tw mention of abuse will be coming up
brief backstory aka any canon changes
still was ab*sed by his father, felt abandoned by his brother etc. however, instead of his father dying when he became a werewolf, isaac just left once he turned 18 & was out of high school.
didn't become a werewolf in high school, became one about six months ago ( possible connection ) & is still kind of struggling with it and how to keep himself balanced.
never went to france of course & has stayed in the same city his whole life.
okay that's it for now, im open for any and all connections!
it seems like adam milligan has been seen around town, humming everywhere by michelle branch under their breath. apparently they are a 21 year old human. townsfolk whisper about them being sentimental and intelligent, but also naïve and sarcastic. they’ve been in town for a month, and give off the vibes of shaky hands from too many cups of coffee, a red notebook full of careful handwritten notes, and a clenched jaw with defiant eyes.
more below !!
some basics, might flesh this out more.
is currently a med student, taking a brief hiatus to “ explore “ himself. ( truthfully, with his distant father coming in and out of his life & being in school his entire life so far, he felt like a piece of him was being pulled elsewhere )
is fairly trusting of most people, takes them on their word- his mom raised him with a big belief that your word matters a lot.
doesn’t know much about supernatural world, honestly pretty skeptic of it.
is a libra
currently working as a barista, very cliche, he knows and hates it.
has a deep love for “ mom rock “ & rom com music. his favorite movie when he was fourteen was the notebook for a solid eight months.
enjoys sleep but barely gets it.
is pretty indifferent on strangers but super protective of his friends and people he considers family.
he’s bisexual & a bit bad at taking hints of flirting
im looking for pretty much any connections for him, platonic, romantic, or familal- adam likes having friends & being nosy about learning gossip.
