[ Allison certainly doesn't remember getting on a train, let alone one to who knows where.

And it's almost freezing to boot. Allison hugs her torso, and steps out of the train station glancing around. ]

[sixbuckdropout]

_{[Dean's doing the same thing he does every night--making rounds through the city for both monsters and a way out. It's then he sees Allison.]}

You shouldn't be out here.

[overdraws]

[ His sudden appearance makes her jump, and she lets out a noise, relaxing when she sees that.. it's someone human.

Not that she's any less wary. ] I don't really have anywhere else to go.

[sixbuckdropout]

You need to find somewhere. It's not exactly safe out here, alright? There's some restaurants down the street. Any unoccupied building is free game.

[overdraws]

I'd really just like to try and find my house, thanks.

[sixbuckdropout]

You're new here, aren't you?

_{[Sorry, kid. He doesn't have much patience tonight. There is a werewolf in this city that he didn't kill during the full moon.]}

There's not exactly assigned housing here. Take whichever one you want that's free.

[overdraws]

[ Yep. That answers that. ] So I'm really not home. [ And that? Is more terrifying than things that go bump in the night. ] I don't know how I got here, but I want to go home.

[sixbuckdropout]

Don't we all. _[muttering.]

I hate to break it to you, I really do, but there's not a way back. You're a sitting duck just like everyone else until the people in charge of this joint let us go.

[overdraws]

...What is this place?

[sixbuckdropout]

It's called Ruby City, although it isn't much of one. There's about a hundred other people here and they're all stuck too.

[overdraws]

Why?

[sixbuckdropout]

That's right up there with 'how do we get out?' No one knows.

[overdraws]

[ She shivers involuntarily, and looks around at her surroundings, uncertainty plain on her face. ] I guess I'll keep walking until I find.. something, then.

[sixbuckdropout]

_{[Damn it. He can't just leave her here.]}

Fine. C'mon. I'll help you.

_{[He's leading the way into the city, looking around as he does. Can't be too careful.]}

[overdraws]

[ She hesitates slightly before jogging a little to catch up to him. She's still hugging her torso, and frowning, she looks up at him. ] Allison.

[sixbuckdropout]

_{[Dean must have been having a moment of being absorbed in getting her somewhere safer, or just with his own thoughts because his brows knit in slight confusion for a split second.]}

I'm Dean.

_{[He takes note of the way she's holding herself and shrugs off his jacket.]} Here, put this on. _{[It's warm and it probably doesn't stink.]}

[overdraws]

[ She pauses, and then takes the jacket, putting it on. It's too big, but it is warm, and it doesn't smell awful, and she smiles up at him. ] Thank you. Um. You're not new here, right?

[sixbuckdropout]

I'm not as new as you. _{[He can fill the chill now, but he'll live.]} I've been here about a month.

[overdraws]

If it's not safe, why are you out?

TWO DAYS LATER I ACTUALLY GET THIS TAG DONE...

[hypercompetent]

[Stiles has lost Dean. This is a major problem. One minute, they'd been tracking Remus, trying to figure out where he'd gone and bickering that way too familiar kill him, no, catch him, argument when Stiles had turned his head and Dean was literally gone.

He's been running around looking for him ever since. When he runs past the train station, he notices a familiar head of dark hair and mentally catalogs good, Allison is here too, maybe she can--

...wait.]

--Allison?!

[Excuse him as he trips, nearly falls flat on his face, and then backpedals straight to her.]

IT'S ALL GOOD

[overdraws]

Stiles? [ What--?! Then maybe she is in Beacon Hills, and she just. Doesn't remember how she got to this one part of town that she doesn't reognize.

She jogs up to meet him. ] What are you doing here?

[hypercompetent]

What am I--what are you doing here?! [Stiles looks at her like she's made of gold, smile on his face incredulous and ridiculous--he kind of runs a hand over his hair, drops them both in a gesture of excitement.]

When did you--how did you--Oh my God, Allison, it's awesome to see you!

[He can worry about the whole...Gerard-best-friend-hunting-with-a-lack-of-redemption-quite-yet thing later. For now it's amazing to see someone from Beacon Hills.]

[overdraws]

[ She blinks, and glances over her shoulder at the train station. Okay, not Beacon Hills. ] I was on a train, and I woke up here. Stiles, where are we? Where's Scott? What's going on?

[hypercompetent]

Scott's--[He deflates a little.] Scott's not here. You're in this place called Ruby City, but, uh--

[From the distance, there's a sound that's suspiciously like a wolf howl.] Shit! [And then a sheepish sort of grin.] Some things are kind of the same? C'mon, I lost Dean Winchester and he's armed and trying to kill Remus Lupin.

[Tact is not one of his strong suits, if you haven't noticed.]

[overdraws]

[ She deflates a little-- okay a LOT-- at the news that Scott isn't around, but her gaze snaps up at the sound of the wolf. She glances from Stiles to the direction of the noise and back again.

The name Dean Winchester means nothing to her, but the other... ] Remus Lupin? Like Harry Potter? Are you feeling okay?
