[Scott settles his hands in his jacket pockets again. He doesn't have many mannerisms or ticks that show him as withdrawing, but this feels a little like a shield.
He doesn't need one with Stiles. Just from himself. From his...other self.]
So it's like - every now and then, the ship kinda shakes, and the Admiral will make an announcement like, 'we've taken on water' or something. Only it's never water, it's like. Weird stuff. Oh - there was a flood where Peter and I thought we were from Star Wars. The last one made us tell the truth, but only if someone like, asked a direct question.
And a few months ago, there was one where we ran into another Barge. Or became another Barge. Wardens were douchebags, and we were trying to make inmates worse instead of better. I was...I was an alpha, there. I killed Derek's uncle.
[He still remembers memories from that life, though they've begun to fade. It still makes him uncomfortable. His eyes wander away from Stiles, take in the string, and the pictures, and he doesn't remember Stiles' room ever getting this crazy.]

Am I allowed to ask what all this stuff is?
