[ this is early enough in the event that they've either met up and split up or haven't met up yet. but allison's seen the network and she's not very happy about the dead bodies piling up. she's already talked to scott, and they've decided they want to get everyone together first, and isaac's the first one she messages. ]
where are you? are you okay? we're trying to get everyone in one place before anything else goes down
and then I'm going to head out and try and stop people from killing if you wanna come

[ Isaac is generally curious, but getting involved in other peoples' matters aren't really his thing, he's been lurking from the beginning of the event and will probably continue to to until the end, he's pretty sure of that... Until he gets a text. ]
I'm fine are you?
[ There's a pause. ]
where do you need me? and of course I want to.
[ Definitely wants to help her keep people from killing each other. Not because he doesn't think she can protect herself, she's one of the biggest badasses he knows. ]
okay so sorry really doesn't cut it like at all that's not even the half of it i feel awful i know you feel worse but i have a lot to tell you and i know you need time and i'll try not to bug you but i am sorry for hurting you
a little uneven-jawed bird told me it was your birthday today i am the master of birthday punches (especially with suddenly acquired superpowers) watch your back lahey!!!
[ The most important thing here is that Scott sends an attached, shirtless image of himself. Which may be nice under ordinary circumstances, nice if it weren't for the deep gashes spiraling up his torso, up to his neck. They're still bleeding out, staining the top of his sweatpants with blood, obviously left untreated - and Scott plans to keep it that way.
There another image. A smiling picture, and three scratches crossing over Scott's cheek. ]
FW: haha, gues who got out?? i put the bitch back in the cage though
There's nothing important in the text - just a "look for some of this" or "keep your eye out for some of that". Neutral stuff, things Scott was already looking for, but Isaac knows he forgets things easily and he's thoughtful like that. He cares.
But the ring of Scott's phone alerts some walkers, and Scott can't walk ( run, he tries to run but it slows him down more ) away fast enough, before one of them is sinking his or her teeth down into Scott's shoulder, and altering the entire point behind this trip. Scott gets them before they completely devour him, but the bite burns after, pulsates, and if he were trying to ignore it there's no way he can now - not with the impending reminder of you're going to die, and you're going to take everyone you love with you.
So Scott sits down against some wall, debating the doom of his situation here - half waiting for another walker to come along and end it right now before he can turn into one of them.
And then he remembers that if he doesn't text back, Isaac will worry, so he takes out his phone and starts thundering off a response. ]
[Very quickly after their return to the mansion and their opulent lifestyle of endless banquets, endless showers, and endless amenities, Adam starts losing track of the days again--voluntarily, this time. The closets are great for providing endless alcohol service, too.
One or two drinking binges in the safety of his own room can't completely erase his memories of the zombies, though, and eventually Isaac gets a call from without warning. Adam would have texted, but not all of the whiskey is out of his system yet and his many spelling errors convinces him it's a bad choice.]
I'm just checking that you didn't die.
[There's a pause as he readies himself to hang up. He's forgotten something.]
Oh. It's... your suicide case calling. In case you don't recognize my voice.
[ The return to the mansion had been a hectic one, after getting bitten by a zombie and having to have his arm hacked off - god the memories are still so fresh in his mind, he can't help but rub his arm every time he thinks about it... it had just been blood and gore and bone. Isaac almost did die, Allison stayed by his side the entire time trying to help.
The loss of Scott, the murder of Jackson? It all weighed down Isaac in a horrific way.
When he woke up in her bed it wasn't pleasant, his body hadn't started healing because it had been fighting off infections both of a zombie nature and others due to the poor conditions of the amputation. Luckily, Castiel was kind enough to help him out - he really owed the angel a lot.
The event wore them all down, it was all sharp edges and the feeling of solemnity; everyone was wary, jumpy even. When his communicator goes off, he expects it to be Allison, or Derek - maybe Scott even. But it's not - it's Adam. And he didn't need the explanation - he recognized the voice. ]
Hey. I didn't. [ Die. ] I guess you didn't either. [ He'll refrain from horrific details of amputation for now, instead settling on something a bit less gruesome. ] Suicide case, huh?
[ He owes Adam a lot too, they'd helped each other out, Adam gave him the slap he needed to get it together when things were tough. ] Y'know we should hang out sometime - or uh, something.
[ A few days after Thanksgiving and Derek hasn't... really slept any, and he knows exactly why, but he doesn't want to talk about it. So he goes for what's more important, in his mind, short and sweet. ]
hey so lydia's back she's going to come back and live with me so I thought I'd let you know
she's from the past like the way past like before gerard and before jackson and she doesn't know about anyone and I've got it covered but can you please not say anything until I have the chance to tell her? just about the whole werewolf thing or her being a banshee or jackson being the kanima or anything just for now please I'll tell her just not yet
Yeah sorry I probably should have said something things have just started to calm down. He was back home but he's pretty sick right now... then we had two new people from home show up and one was hurt so it's been kinda chaotic
Thanks for asking though .. If you ever need any help with anything I owe ya one.
[ while it's none of her business as to what had transpired between erica and isaac, she knows isaac cares deeply for erica — just as deeply as cora does. she doesn't think erica's let isaac in on where she is — she seems incredibly upset over what had gone on between them — so cora's taken it upon herself to play the role of ensuring isaac's not tearing wonderland apart with his claws in search for her. ]
In case you're looking for her, Erica's with me.
[ and just in case isaac gets any bright ideas, cora thinks she needs to state the obvious. ]
