Re: Making New Friends (Renfield/Franceska/Rebekah/etc)
"A sleeping curse," Mihnea said thoughtfully.
"Interesting."
?
"She got any friends that are awake, and where could I find them," he asked.
"And again, I'd not hurt them. They've done nothing to me here and I didn't come to this town to make enemies. Hell we had no idea other vampires were even here so this proves to be interesting."
?
He gave a slight smirk and matching nod when Rebecca said it seemed his father was always in a foul mood.
?
"That or annoying the hell out of people," he complained with a slight shrug.

Re: Making New Friends (Renfield/Franceska/Rebekah/etc)
Rebecca listened and said “her name is Elena Gilbert. Like I said though shes in a sleeping curse so dunno how useful it will be. Damon can be a lose cannon even more so with emotions off. So just be careful on how you approach it. I also think he was best buds with this guy name Aleric Saltzman.” She hoped she was doing the right thing. That’s all her and her family needed now was another shit storm to face.
She blushed slightly seeing his wink and even blushed more feeling his finger on her lip. The feeling sent a wave of warmth through her body was she feeling real sparks between them. She laughed and said “ it’s a shame you cant do both. As for your father he sounds like hes always in a foul mood. So now what do we do now.” |

"I can use a person he cares about to turn his emotions back on," Mihnea told Rebecca with a wicked smile.
?
"He won't have to know I"m not torturing them. And don't worry I won't be," he added.
?
"So who is this person he and his brother cared about."
?
A sleeping curse? HE didn't even bother asking. IT sounded...heavy...and strange...quite out of his league of experience or understanding though it was mildly interesting as well as disturbing.
?
?
When she queried him of the other situations they may find themselves in he gave her a slow smile and a wink, reaching to run his forefinger across her lower lip. It was soft and the jolt of heat that swept up his arm then downward was only a slight surprise.
?
"Well perhaps we shall have time to find out once I've taken care of this Damon fellow. He just needs to learn, where it hurts, who not to fuck with...ever again. Then my father is no longer on my ass and everyone is happy," he concluded with a nearly light hearted chuckle.
?
Vampire politics was not something he was particularly accustom to anymore as usually his family simply didn't have to. Working with different vampires, a different breed not under his father's rule called for new protocol, though. He was doing his best. He wasn't sure that his best was most excellent or anything, so it helped that Rebecca was a nice girl. Otherwise he could find himself in the midst of a shitstorm and his father in even more of a snit, though that wasn't exactly the word for it when Vlad got pissy.I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed.

He could careless right now about anyone or thing.??Pretty much everyone he might be close to he ended up screwing over.??I do know someone??though.??Someone he and his brother were close to but last I heard she was under a sleeping curse.

"I swear it won't come back on you. I'll never mention your name. In fact you can pretend you hate me if you must, though that wouldn't be nearly as fun as...other situations I can all too clearly picture involving the 2 of us."
?
He couldn't disguise the heat in his eyes as his gaze raked her. He didn't know if he really had a type, but something in her spoke to him. Perhaps her kindness, or the fact she could just as easily be otherwise when necessary. Loyal as well as smart... Tearing his mind from distractions he focused on the current issue at hand.
?
?
"What will I do to someone who is important to him? Well I promise to only frighten him and not hurt them at all. Perhaps I'll even make friends."
He winked, then became almost somber as he added,"I swear I'd not lie to you. What would be the point of screwing up a good alliance, after all."

Re: Making New Friends (Renfield/Franceska/Rebekah/etc)
Mihnea chuckled slightly, eyes flickering in surprise at Rebecca's nearly heated defense of his father's pets. He merely shrugged and spread his hands.
?
?
"The girl and I have a rough past is alll. She tried to kill me once...and now her and my dad worked their shit out so all is great?"
?
He shrugged, and spread his hands.
?
"Whatever, though."
?
He laughed, truly amused. When he had, as he put it, tried to befriend Franceska, he had been angry with his father as she had...truly it was understandable the girl not thinking he would side against Vlad, but she didn't know about his family drama that had been unfolding at that time.
?
"Long bullshit story. As you know when you're immortal, that happens. Lots of time for long bullshit stories to develop in ones life. I won't kill your Damon friend then...as a courtesy to his brother."
?
He grinned and shrugged.
?
"But I will teach him a lesson. Tell me who is the most important to Damon? And before you get all fluttery about it I won't kill that person. I wont even hurt them. Swear."
?
He met her gaze directly, speaking the truth and having nothing to hide on that.
?
His gaze narrowed when she spoke of his father needing to have done his research more thoroughly.
?
"Perhaps, but he still won't believe that shit of any worth is going on in America even though his little friends live here," he snorted.
?
"Still, though.Damon is at fault the most in this no matter what you say. This is simply because dad's pets...ur your friends," he hastily corrected himself,"Their blood isn't exactly normal human stock. They are...more, and any vampire paying attention would know that. Damon was obviously not, and for this I shall school him a bit and make him pay. They are human, just...how do you say human +," he said, not wanting to give more away about his father's pets than they wanted given away.
?
When Rebecca offered herself to keep the piece, to be experimented on, Mihnea's eyes softened and he touched her cheek lightly before dropping his hand back to his side.
?
"That is sweet. Truly it is," he said meaning it.
?
Then his eyes hardened as he gave a short laugh."Only I already know the scientists are working with you and don't think Father won't have them using that to learn whatever the fuck he wants in the process. Besides, you doing this for Damon is like...Christ dying on the cross for all the little shits of the world. It does no good as it teaches them nothing. It never helps a person to pay for their mistakes. But as I said I will only school this Damon. If you help me. Otherwise I will have to do more. But if you help he shall only learn...his lesson. So...who is the most important to him?"

Rebekah said “to be clear I did say you could hurt him.??I just asked you not kill him.??I suppose you can say hes sorta a friend but a blood pain in my ass.??Me and his brother dated in a distant past.”??She looked down thinking of Stefan.??Taking a brief moment before looking at him ? “I don’t care if you want to call them pets but do it in my presences again and I will punch you.”??Her eyes narrowed briefly when he spoke about her new friends.??She didn’t ask about his past.??They all had things they wished never to discuss. ? She went back to the subject of Damon.??She said “one nothing against your father but he should of done the research before sending people here.??Even if the supernatural is hidden there is a bunch of lore about this town. Most is rubbish and some about my family,??Amongst other things. Regardless??this is as much his fault than it is damons. I don’t know much of the last five years but I know alittle.??According to what I know a few supernatural being had came and cause a uproar in this town.

Re: Town Square (Matt/Nyssa/etc)
“Watch your back.” Katrina strongly hoped this was all little more than a product of her often overactive imagination. It's not as if it were completely beyond the realm of possibility. Her gaze followed him over to where mysterious woman was sitting so casually on a bench then snapped back to the stranger.?
?
One eyebrow lifted when he spoke of the sword at his side and it's lack of subtlety. “No. It really isn't.” If she were reading the situation correctly this man was a ‘player’ but rather than jumping to conclusions (even ones she strongly suspected to be right) was not a move she cared to make at this juncture.
?
“Trade?” Oh, you mean like one of those reenactment groups?” It was something she found interesting as they often provided a glimpse into the past. “It's very… method.” The brunette cast a pointed look to his sword opting to keep up the ruse that after years of practice was like second nature. It was just simpler that way. ?
?
“So, you’re not a fan of the whole ‘down-home’ vibe?” It wasn't for everyone but she had in recent months grown more accustomed to the friendliness of the people who lived here.?
?
Sparing the occasional glance in Nyssa’s direction as her attention remained somewhat divided. “There's one a small one about a block from here…and then there's a nice ‘bed and breakfast’ located on the edge of town.”
?
The introduction was a bit unexpected but prompted her to follow suit despite dreading it turning into one of those ‘fan boy’ situations. More often than not introducing herself resulted in being forced to listen as someone rambled on about either a favorite Dracula movie or that damned book. “Katrina Van Helsing.” She offered while shaking his hand.
?
?
?
————
?
?
?
“Good afternoon…sheriff.” Nyssa greeted with a friendly smile as the man approached making introductions…a gesture that was not entirely out of the ordinary in small towns though she suspected he had other motives. But she was bored and decided to play along. “Nyssa.”
?
She knew enough about this town from her ‘research’ to know who most of its players were and this man was someone who was desperate to protect his home. “I can't believe that I have been here eleven months and not gotten around to meeting a few of my neighbors.” Here the Ferryman's daughter paused to see if that time table sparked anything as it had been when the huntress and her father were found very much alive. “I just…don't get out all that often I guess.” |

Matt nodded to Katrina . He said " thanks for telling me.? I'll go introduce myself. Perhaps get some answers. I want be long."? Matt began walking towards nyssa just as David had walked up to Katrina and begin to talk.

David's gaze dropped briefly to his sword, an expression of chagrin on his face.
?
Gaze returning to Katrina's face he smiled slightly.
?
?
"Not subtle is it," he said apologetically.
?
"Keeps me alive, though. My father and I were never good at being subtle, but it doesn't really come with the trade."
?
He spoke quietly. As he did, he didn't miss her gaze moving to the seated woman on the bench, so he followed her gaze to study Nyssa as well. Idly he wondered if she was a mark or a lead.
?
"I think a hotel is less intrusive, and follows one's activities less frequently. Bed and breeakfasts are too personal."
?
Though his parents would likely prefer such so he probably should...yet somehow couldn't bring himself to.
?
"So a hotel I think."

He smiled then and extended a hand.

"David Kane," he offered.

Re: Town Square (Matt/Nyssa/etc)
Katrina was careful not to lose track of the mystery woman when she looked to the man inquiring about local hotels. It only took any instant for her to begin questioning whether his arrival was purely coincidental or if there was more to it. One eyebrow lifted as she caught sight of the sword at his side thinking it a bit of a strange accessory for someone to be walking around with.
?
Maybe there was some kind of cosplay thing going on or was there some upcoming events the founding families seemed so incredibly fond of throwing? Both were entirely possible but there was also a remote chance this man was a ‘player’. She supposed there was only one way to find out.
?
“I believe there are a handful of ‘bed and breakfast’ places and a few hotels depending on which you’d prefer.” She offered while continuing to watch Nyssa from the corner of her eye.?
?

Nyssa took a seat on the empty bench carefully adjusting her ankle length black skirt as she crossed her legs. There was the briefest of moments when she considered approaching the people but it was easily dismissed as making small talk was more often than not a tad on the boring side most of the time.

Re: Cabin in the Woods (Max/Katherine)
Katherine tipped her head with one eyebrow raised slightly at the hand being placed over her heart. “Trust me…I am much further gone than you think.” If anything else about her past was to be revealed it would need to be done with caution given the nature of her actions on more than one occasion.
?
“Do tell.” She was curious as to how this was supposed to happen and why a man who had only just met her would hold out hope on the matter of her being able to surprise herself one day. It was an odd thing to consider at any rate.?
?
Her thoughts turning to this new life of hers as being among the select few of Travelers who still had access to ‘real magic’ was a rare occurrence indeed. But it was fun.?
?
She looked into his eyes for about half a second then suddenly looked away, knowing what she had seen there would change sooner or later though for her sake she was hoping for door number two as there were certainly more than enough people living in Mystic Falls that would happily send her to hell.
?
“I don't think I’m quite ready for that level of commitment.” Marriage or anything even remotely like it were options she hadn't given any thought of in centuries. Of course…it occurred to her that something along those lines might be a bit more of a guarantee he wouldn't be picking up a pitchfork and joining up with the torch bearing mob whenever they finally discovered she was in fact alive.?

Quietly shaking off that particular train of thought.? |

Plans To Escape: Leaving it all Behind (Kol/Davina)
Davina was desperate to avoid ruining the moment something that pushed her to keep up appearances if only because they deserved this…deserved a chance to live ‘happily ever after’ with all the couple had been through to get here. But it was all so vivid…the dreams and memories of her time on the ancestral plain and if the Ancestors had been concerned enough to let something slip.
?
She closed her eyes when pulled in closer, such a simple act in itself and yet…it held such power in moments like these. Wordlessly nodding in agreement, she somehow made it to his car without saying anything about her concerns. Though the brunette was soon drawing a shaky breath as she decided that it wasn't right to keep things from him.?
?
“When I was there…with them…they mentioned the name Inadu over and over but they never told me anything.” Part of her hoped it meant nothing or that he'd be more than a little confident in the ability of his siblings to handle whatever this was without them. “They seemed…rattled.” It was odd seeing them frightened about anything.
?
Briefly looking out the passenger window as she continued. “I have been having these dreams…” Correcting herself after a slight pause. “nightmares that were more than just instant replays of the tortures they put me through…at times it almost feels like someone is reaching out through them. But I don't know that it means anything.”

Re: Town Square (Matt/Nyssa/etc)
David Kane walked slowly down the street watching...well everything at once. He studied the people ahead of him, knowing one, at least, by hiss research. A Van Helsing, if flexible enough, was a good ally, and if not, it was worth the bother to know where one was so that you may keep breathing. He was looking for his parents and this town was a beacon for the supernatural. That sort of thing drew both of them for differing reasons, but especially his father...surely he still had the monkey on his back that drove him, a thing that David had always pitied.

"Excuse me. I'm looking for a decent hotel? I'm new to the area so..."

Katrina held the cellphone as if reading through emails as she leisurely strolled along the edge of the town square. It was better to keep up appearances than risk tipping her hand to someone who could potentially be a threat. Carefully looking away from the small glowing screen at seeing her new friend approaching. “No worries. I figured you got held up with either sheriff or council business.”
?
She was still getting used to the idea of local law enforcement being onboard with hunting vampires. Tipping her head slightly to indicate the direction. “Over there.” If appearances were to be believed then there was absolutely nothing out of the ordinary about this woman but it still wouldn't explain that feeling she couldn't shake.?
?
“So far…she's just been walking around…watching people.” There was half a second when the hunter could have sworn their eyes locked before she had turned back to Matt. “I know, not a threatening move in itself but something about her feels…off. I can't even begin to explain it…but it does.” |
