Re: Rebekah¡¯s Safe House (Franceska/Renfield/etc)
Felix gave a dramatic sigh and rolled his eyes.

"You sound like Min-Min," he told Rebecca glumly.
"And I can talk to women. I just don't want to cause then they never leave me alone."
?
Franceska pressed her lips together tightly in disapproval but changed the subject, turning to Rebecca.

"I get that you and Vlad are 2 different types of vampires so like can you take pictures? If so I'd love to get an MRI of you. If any of your eggs are still preserved, like in limbo I could try some interesting things...very interesting," she murmured half to herself.

Re: Leaving Mystic Falls (Elena/Mihnea)
"I;f this witch will help I am open to her being in on it. If anyone dies, it can be just Damon for threatening my father's people. If no one has to die including him, I do not object. Those are the 2 likely options. I am being honest with you. The last and most unfortunate option would only happen if your friends did not respect the fact that Damon misstepped and deserves what he gets. Up to him if that is a chastisement or death. If this is seen fairly and logically understood everyone is fine. If your friend opts to defend him anyway, the battlefield will be formed and it will be bloody. You seem like a nice girl, Elena and I don't want to kill you if I don't have to. And i won't have to if your friend agrees with my points. If I feel she will retaliate...well no one can be left alive to retaliate in such a situation. So many choices and rarely people make the right one so with all that in mind, I shall leave this call to you and your life, at least partly in your own hands."
?
?
?
Mihnea saw himself as more than reasonable in this, for it could've had several different outcomes. Many did not often agree, however, but those were dead and his family was not so he considered that point made.

When she asked what his idea of fun was he flashed a smile.?

"Fun is multi layered really. But I'm amenable to whatever you'd like...Dinner, dancing, shopping...Whatever you wish."

Re: Leaving Mystic Falls (Elena/Mihnea)
¡°She said it was nature¡¯s way of maintaining the balance¡¡± Elena thought about saying more but until she remembered that conversation a bit more clearly she left it at that for now. Magic was more Bonnie's field of expertise than hers. Plus there were far more pressing issues to be considered like whether he was merely stating facts or posing a threat.? It was difficult to say given his demeanor and her lack of familiarity with the man but she did hope that he was indeed an honorable sort as it increased the odds of her walking away from this with her life when all was said and done. Casting a quick glance out the window she took an uneasy breath as she carefully considered her predicament.? ¡°Bonnie isn't the sort to go looking for a fight so as long as she knows that I¡¯m alright and there isn't liable to be a body count¡odds are that she¡¯ll play nice. She wouldn't have any reason not to. Plus¡¡± Carefully looking over at him again. ¡°If you¡¯re truly hoping to scare Damon into behaving it couldn't hurt having the witch he¡¯d go to for help in on it.¡± She decided to attempt a change in subject as she didn't want to make things any more tense than necessary. ¡°Dare I ask what ¡®fun¡¯ we might be having?¡± Of course, there were all the sightseeing options and probably several places to go dancing but her definition of fun and his were likely quite different. |

He didn't believe in Dracula, but the words of the odd couple still annoyed him mainly because they weren't human. ¿ªÔÆÌåÓý some monster and likely its thralls.

Re: Salvatore Boarding House: Desperate Times (Bonnie/via text Enkil)
Enkil stared at the images on the screen silently wondering how he was to find a stranger. How when he could not even find Akasha...Who had killed him, who had not been herself...who still seemed to exist somehow...and if so what did that mean? Perhaps he had simply gone mad. By all rights he should yes? He had no answers.?

Opening his mind he began to search for the man...the vampire...he was far away but the witch herself...she was closer.

//I can feel him and he is far away. You are closer,//

He texted back.

//I should not be alive. I remember her killing me...Perhaps I have lost my mind. You should be warned.//

Re: Mystic Grille (Jamie/Kali/Mekare/etc)
When asked if she was okay, Mekare lifted green eyes to the girl.
"Probably not, but I'll manage. What is the matter with you? You are also not okay."
?
Jarveth gave a short laugh, eyes amused and intrigued as they lifted from the menu to regard Mekare.
?
Armand glanced at the menu then to Jarveth seeing his attention was placed elsewhere.
?
"You want me to do it," he asked, gesturing to the menue and Jarveth nodded distractedly.
"Sure."
The gruff response was all he afforded the other man. Armand was intelligent enough to order something that he'd enjoy eating and that would fill him up. Mekare needed his attention right now or rather he felt she did. She had never directly engaged an outsider like that before. So while not alarmed, he watched.He knew that Armand and Maharet were likely watching' as well in their way and leaving it mainly to him as at these times, Mekare responded even better to him than she did to Armand or her twin. He still didn't see that he deserved her complete adoration, but he had it none the less...And she was fun, beautiful, unlike anyone he'd ever imagined and made him feel...like she always had his back. So he had hers as well.
?
"3 burgers and 3 fries," Armand said.
"And to drink, something healthy. Whatever you have. If you have nothing healthy, cold water will do."
?
Maharet's lips twitched but she remained silent. Burgers and healthy, though.
?
For her part, Mekare's eyes remained on the young woman who had asked after her, expression, unlike that of her twin, extremely intense...watchful.
?
"Is it the wrongness? The trouble? Is everyone aware?"
?

"Mekare," Armand warned softly, but she ignored him, not glancing away.

Re: Salvatore Boarding House: Desperate Times (Bonnie/via text Enkil)
Bonnie sank down onto the couch with a backwards glance toward the foyer not really sure what she expected to see. Sighing she looked down at her phone once more about half a second before the next alert sounded. As she read the message she felt a pang of sympathy for whoever was on the other end.?
//I will do whatever I can to help you find her¡if she's alive and if she needs ¡®saving¡¯ then we'll find away. Someone in this town should be able to be with the one they love.// She knew this promise had a great deal to do with how much she missed Enzo and watching the heartache of her friends. It didn't seem fair that none of them were allowed any chance of happiness after all they¡¯d been through in recent years. Shaking her head as she looked down again then sent another text with a selfie she'd taken with Damon.? //His name is Damon Salvatore. If you can find him¡he can help you find me.// Though even as she hit send she didn't know whether he would be at all helpful in his current state. Leaning forward the witch grabbed a pen then wrote out the message ¡®Elena is missing.¡¯ Tipping her head as she tried to think if there was anything else she needed to say aside from some vague threat of bodily harm for his choices ever since Stefan's death. Quickly and neatly holding the piece of paper in her free hand she closed her eyes repeating the same phrase in some foreign language until it went up in flames only to reappear in Damon's pocket. She doubted he¡¯d care but maybe he'd at least find a phone to get in touch with her so she'd know whether Elena was with him or not. |

Re: Mystic Grille (Jamie/Kali/Mekare/etc)
Jamie finished wiping down the bar then tossed the rag into a bucket kept hidden underneath. She drew a breath as her brown eyes followed the waitresses and busboys who were taking care of those seated at the tables knowing that before too long her cousin would be seated at her usual table drawing in her sketch pad as she did most every night.
At times she envied her as Kali had never been (for lack of a better word) ¡®hunted¡¯ by Michael Myers meaning that for the most part she was able to live without fear or at least without the nightmares. Exhaling slowly to calm her nerves as the small group approached then offering her best fake smile. ¡°Yes, of course.

Can't say that I have ever met anyone named Mekare.¡± Her eyes briefly moved over each person taking in their appearance out of sheer curiosity. ¡°Is she okay?¡± She asked at noticing how uncomfortable the one redhead looked.?

SH: Headed Towards Town (Gold/Dew/etc)
"So you approve then, dearest mentor?of mine. Well,?he may be gone, but the heart...it can be..." Dew was going to elaborate on how the trees have spoken to her, virtually summoned her. If she fully got into her powers, if Mr Gold?could help her with that. If she were able to do just that, well then, she could, maybe, force the Horseman back. Still torn between doubts about?the veracity of her thoughts, and how to convey them secretly to Mr Gold, Dew?suddenly smiled, preparing another question. It was just, despite all the severity of the situation, her mentor's titter was so engaging, so friendly, she really liked it.
?
Then something strange happened, and the smile vanished from the Cupid's lips. Her next question forgotten, the girl widely looked around to see which party was attacking them, half afraid, half wishing that the Horseman would return.
?
Stripe's warning finally forced her out of her stupor, and she decided to follow suit and run, until Mr Gold caught up with them. Breathing slower, Dew began relaxing again, trying to see which town was? ahead. "Who is Belle again??I don't remember you mentioning her, is it a woman, isn't it?" Dew spoke, trying to sound calm despite her?sudden bout of jealousy. It wasn't that?she?thought of her mentor this way. She just didn't wish for his time and attention being taken away from her. It was unnecessary. Whoever?that Belle has been, she was doubtlessly a waste of Gold's time. Dew was willing to reconsider if the woman proved useful to her, but usually other females only got in her way, the Cupid decided with a somewhat angry smile, that did not bode well for whoever found themselves in her way next. |

SH: A House Of New Friends (Regina/Emma/Spike/etc)

"You have magic too," she exclaimed, pointing at Regina and smiling before her silvery blue eyes latched gleefully onto Spike.

Serafina would want a vampire...though...this tugged at the back of her mind. Solomon considered those to be evil. Did that mean Fina was starting to become...how was it that they said it these days? Cool? Was Serafina getting cool?

"How fun, how fun, how fun," she sang.

She knew she should wonder about the blonde girl and she would but right now things were just too...fun!

"I suppose none of you brought children," she asked, tone mildly crest fallen, as it was obvious that they hadn't. That was about the only thing that would make things even better, though.

The gremlin gave a cry of alarm when the 3 vanished. Not that he cared particularly but what if something came back for them? He isn't want to be dragged anywhere else against his will. He just wanted to go home. Where ever that was. The gremlin felt a longing pang and hated the alone feeling that such misery caused.

"Run," he cried and proceeded to do so.

"I don't think that does any good," Gold spoke up.
"Whatever it was can find whoever whenever I am thinking."

Stripe didn't care. He wanted to continue running, but to where? To a phone perhaps. He still recalled the NY hotel number and if he could get to a phone he could call the others. Hopefully they were still there. If not...well he had to take it one stage at a time. He had stopped running, allowing the other 2 to catch up to him.

Re: SH: Into the Woods (Regina/Emma/etc)
Regina was willing to take charge if it got them out of the open where it would be all too easy for their headless friend on horseback to come charging toward them with that damned axe at the ready. The thought made her increasingly wary of both the surroundings and her traveling companions. It was one thing to go on a little field trip to the underworld with Gold and another to trust that little imp.?
So it was fortunate that she and Emma had made arrangements for what one might refer to as an insurance policy. Something she imagined the mystery woman who appeared to be calling all the shots with the headless horseman had done if she indeed intended to make use of them. She offered a smile in return as this Spike fellow seemed far more trustworthy than either her former mentor or his little ¡®friends¡¯ did. ¡°And if we're lucky we won't see our headless ¡®friend¡¯ again.¡± It was a bit of a long shot but nothing wrong with having a little hope, a thought that lead to mentally cursing how much she'd started to sound like Snow. Emma looked from one to the other a bit suspiciously at all this talk about hearts. It distracted her from the feeling they were being followed as it raised certain doubts about Gold leaving her more than a little tempted to point out the consequences of not everyone returning home WITH their hearts still beating in their chests and not wherever he might put them. He would surely destroy any hope at reconciliation with Belle and if her suspicions were correct that's the last thing in this world or any other he¡¯d want. As she turned to do so there were three hooded figures each seemingly appearing out of thin air. One near herself, another just behind Regina and the last one close to Spike. It was kind of eerie the way each lay a hand on the shoulder of their intended targets at precisely the same moment and before anyone could react had disappeared with them leaving Gold and the others to wonder where they went. Regina blinked in surprise at the sudden change in their surroundings as they had gone from walking along the road towards Sleepy Hollow to being in a relatively nice house. ¡°What the hell?¡± She muttered almost instantly noticing their little group was down three members unless one counted the hooded figures. (ooc: feel free to start a new thread for the now missing characters or I will when I post again. Working out the details for their abductors/rescuers depending how one looks at it though one is my archangel character Serafina) |

Bonnie was headed toward the living room when she got the next text message from the mystery person in possession of her friend's phone. Holding it up so that she could reach one while absently repeating the names out loud in either an attempt at committing them to memory or searching hers to see if she'd heard them somewhere before. Shaking her head once she decided she hadn't.? //The names don't ring any bells.// Though she did wonder if they should. Her preoccupation with this was short lived as everything else started to sink in and other questions came to mind. There was every chance she'd regret any involvement in whatever this was and maybe her temptation to do so stemmed from how much she'd been thinking about Enzo lately. //Took over who?// If one were to check the books that Alaric kept at the Armory they might be able to find the answer to whatever had ¡®taken over¡¯ this woman that was mentioned. //If you¡¯re not opposed to doing some research I know of place where we might can find some answers?// What was she doing?

The Woods Of Mystic Falls (Akasha/Damon/etc)
Akasha slowed her pace once she was satisfied she hadn't been followed into the woods. There was just so much noise inside her head as a tidal wave of memories came crashing down forcing her to sift through them. It had all started when she first heard rumors of the witches living in a valley not far from Kemet. This sparked her curiosity leading to an invitation being extended. She remembered being disappointed by the news then as she stood alone in the royal bedchamber there was this¡black smoke that forced itself down her throat. From that moment forward the moments when she had control were thousands of years apart¡on the night assassins came leaving them for dead when the spirit fused with her blood making her the ¡®first¡¯ vampire.? The decision to save her husband was the last time she was the one calling the shots because shortly after the black smoke reclaimed her. There were certain gaps in her memory as she hadn't always been awake for what was taking place but she remembered the night the witches came casting their spells leaving her and Enkil in this¡catatonic state that kept the ¡®puppet master¡¯ at bay.? Unfortunately, for her, it hadn't driven it out it had merely left them trapped with one another for thousands of years. Its voice constantly whispering and taunting reminding her of its success at fooling her husband. Tears began falling down her cheeks¡a feeling both hurt and undeniable anger at the thought. She walked between the trees with her eyes slowly taking everything in as she continued sifting through those memories. The moment she gained her freedom was her last as this madwoman had driven her through a glass wall taking her head off and no one¡not even the one at her side made a move to save her. |

Re: MF: Something Wicked? (Pandora/Lucy/Miranda/etc)
Pandora drew a breath as she turned heading back into the house to see what the others were up to. Ignoring the temptation to remain outside until the mysterious patch of darkness disappeared from view but if she lingered any longer her imagination would surely run wild at the possibilities. The voice of Bela Lugosi drifted from the living room as she entered.
¡°Do you remember¡¡± Suddenly becoming distracted by a sound coming from upstairs she looked to where Miranda was lurking just in time to see her disappear up the stairs in a flash. It would appear that either ¡®sleeping beauty¡¯ was now awake or there happened to be an intruder. Both could be equally concerning as the raven haired woman was quite a mystery. ¡°Anything?¡± Lucy finished as she looked away from the television following her gaze toward the stairs. One eyebrow slowly lifted at seeing nothing there, just empty space, not that she knew what it was she'd expected to find. Maybe Miranda? She shifted anxiously on the couch as she turned trying to get a better look to see if there was something she'd missed. ¡°It's probably nothing. I just thought I heard¡¡± Pandora shook her head once looking away to hide her growing concern. The words ¡®Queen of the Damned¡¯ still echoed in her mind just enough to make wary at the possibility of her having awakened.? Meanwhile upstairs¡. Miranda reached the top of the stairs seeing the bedroom door open with the woman who had been dubbed ¡®sleeping beauty¡¯ looking completely bewildered as she clung to the doorframe as if something were tugging at her while gasping for air and it was then that a thought occurred to her. As quickly as she'd ascended the stairs she took hold of the woman then exited the house. Once the two women were standing in the yard she released her grip stepping back to observe what effect (if any) this had. When it became evident she'd been correct in her way of thinking she made the connection with the fact the woman had never actually been invited into the house as she had been unconscious when brought inside. It had to be a frightening and perhaps even painful experience based on what she'd witnessed upstairs. Instinctively she considered the odds if the raven haired woman decided to respond violently as she wouldn't stand a chance against someone of her age. It was still so hard to imagine as according to written accounts by members of the founding families the first vampires came to existence a thousand years ago but this woman had five thousand years on them. She searched desperately for something to say that wouldn't escalate the situation. Deciding introductions were a safe place to start as she caught a glimpse of the others hovering in the open doorway with wary expressions on their faces having wisely chosen to remain just inside the house. ¡°My name is Miranda¡Miranda Gilbert.¡± Akasha stood visibly shaken as she got her bearings with dark eyes darting around to take in her surroundings. Once the panic subsided the hurt and rage began taking hold as thoughts turned to her past¡to the memory of being trapped inside her own body while that¡that thing was in complete control. The feeling of helplessness at her inability to stop any of it.? Perhaps the only thing that kept her from lashing out in that moment was the memory of when IT killed her husband. She shut her eyes tightly as she could attempting to will away those memories but inevitably her efforts only stirred up others that were equally as horrifying along with more that were just plain infuriating. How could he not have known? Not have done something? She took several quick steps back as somehow this encounter triggered the memory of her demise. Seconds had seemed to last an eternity as she lay on the broken shards of glass scattered about the floor¡.and the wave of desperation as she looked to a man whose name she couldn't recall for some help that wouldn't come. Her head tilted slightly as a name was offered, one hand anxiously moving to smooth a few strands of raven hair back behind her ear. So much felt oddly familiar while at the same time feeling different somehow. She was mildly aware of the fact her emotions were heightened which in her current state could be dangerous as none of what she was thinking had a calming effect. ¡°´¡°ì²¹²õ³ó²¹.¡± It was the only word to pass through her lips as she stared at the fledging vampire finding it easy enough to look inside the woman's mind. Her hand absently reached to her side as though searching for Enkil¡¯s hand though he was not there. With but a final glance between the women to suggest she was thinking something over she disappeared into the woods in the blink of an eye.? Miranda blinked in surprise then looked back to Pandora tipping her head in the direction the older vampire had gone in a silent question.? Pandora shook her head once. ¡°No. You wouldn't stand a chance against one as old as her if this¡Akasha decided to become violent.¡± She stared out into the woods a moment as she stepped out onto the porch holding a hand up to signal that Lucy should remain inside. ¡°Maybe she just needs time and will return when she's ready.¡± |

Re: SH: Into the Woods (Regina/Emma/etc)
Gold didn't miss the dark cupid's look at Regina and it put a sparkle of cunning?in his eyes as his mind began to work. Regina and the horseman...If both hearts were truly taken...if they were made to?feel a pull toward one another...Why there were so many ways such could be used. To give Regina control over? the headless menace or to cause the 2 to tear one another down in some sort of twisted passion...All delightful but which would work best for him. Either or perhaps a 3rd option.
?
"I am surprised he has a heart, though perhaps?I shouldn't be. It's his head that is obviously missing after all," Gold told Dew with a titter.
?
"One often hears people say they are thinking with their head or their heart. Right now he has trouble with the former so is only in possession of the later. Now if that were taken as well...how interesting it would be. Alas we may never see him again."
?
He tittered again.
?
"Not without a little tweaking, which can be arranged when the setting is secured and safe."
?
Spike looked curiously between the two, but knowing little of cupids and less of hearts, the vampire remained silent.
?
The gremlin, for his part, scampered along more calmly now that the danger was gone, mind half on the next yummy thing they could find to eat and partly on how to find Brain and the rest if they were truly back somehow.

Re: SH: Into the Woods (Regina/Emma/etc)
Dew Morgan was relieved that her betters were taking care of the situation. It allowed her the time to take care of her scaled friend, at least if any care was necessary for such a seasoned veteran of war. She probably glorified it too much she supposed. That war experience was awfully charming. She could still remember the days when regular men from her village returned from the Ogre wars, somehow changed. Derick's father, even the priest of Hilda. They?seemed boring in the past, but when they came back, they had that spark in their eyes. Like they saw something, and survived to tell the story. And it made them...more attractive. She knew she wasn't the only one who felt that way, she just knew. Of course Stripe could never be boring, but the fact that he had to go through an ordeal, it made him more interesting to her eyes.
?
?
Dew murmured something to him, and was going to add some reassurance, when she registered what the anomaly truly was with the headless rider. There was something missing inside of him, but not the obvious. It was the manner in which his heart showed itself, or its operation, or perhaps its lack. She was too inexperienced to know precisely, and would never have understood, if a similar condition did not present itself to her mind's eye. Together they blinded her to what was going on, when separated, she could finally see it. It was that new woman, Regina, her heart, it had something Dew craved, that element that made her smile gleefully even through the uncertain times they were all facing.
?
Dew?would bide her time, there was nothing better to do. Even when?it was safe to make her move, she still didn't know what she could do about somebody who?had such spells. But, unfortunately for her, as well she knew, it was but a secondary consideration, one barely worth her logic or time. What really mattered was that the pull of Regina's heart became almost irresistible. "My, how it shines," the young Cupid thought and to her horror realized she spoke her thoughts out loud.
?
"Mr Gold, why would the horseman's heart shine so much...can anything be done about it?" Dew cunningly spoke, attempting to distract anybody who overheard her from her true consideration, while, hopefully, learning how to draw on that power. "I know it was a supernatural creature, I know it is hard to kill, but his heart showed itself to me.
