Considering a few games...

[egocentric]

Hey, you know that guy I've been running from for five hundred years? Why are you considering games that have him in them? Sure, it might be nice to get to an entire planet where he isn't, but how about we go one better and just don't put me where he is? It's not like there's a shortage of games. Just look elsewhere.

No, not at the Minneapolis one, he's there too. Plus, it's in Minneapolis. Not a very exciting city.

And not that prison ship either. You may not have noticed, but I'm happy the way I am. I don't want to be redeemed.

Or, here's an even better idea. How about you stop looking entirely? Don't you have better things to do? I know I do.

Minneapolis isn't that bad.

[slay]

Kinda loving the idea of you not being in the same universe as me, actually. Regardless of what other planet you decide to lurk on.

[egocentric]

I don't want to be stuck there for eternity, Stefan.

[somanyadjectives]

Well, I don't know this yet, but right now, there's nowhere else to go? Technically being there means you're the ultimate survivor.

[egocentric]

I'm not the one you have to convince. I've got enough people trying to kill me without adding perky superpowered slayers to the list.

[egocentric]

Until Klaus or that little blond Slayer kills me. I guess I'll just have to pretend I'm your girlfriend again. I've gotten pretty good at it, don't you think?

[a look]

Katherine.

[egocentric]

Oh, don't give me that look. I'm just trying to have a little fun.

[somanyadjectives]

Given that we're being sent to an alternate universe with essentially a clean slate, don't you think you could find another kind of fun?

[egocentric]

A clean slate, huh? Is that what it is for you? A chance to get away from all those bad things you've done?

Don't kid yourself, Stefan. There are no clean slates for people like us.

[somanyadjectives]

Don't you think I know that?

[egocentric]

I don't know. Are you going to try and stop me from having my fun?

[somanyadjectives]

If you're impersonating Elena again, yes.

[crossbreed]

I'm sure we could make our own fun in this city.

[slay]

Oh, don't worry. You won't have to add me to any list. I'm not one for waiting in line. I'll just get straight to the point. The sharp, wooden, stake-y point.

[egocentric]

[Katherine pouts.] Come on, even you have to admit it's come in handy sometimes.

[somanyadjectives]

I'm not saying it isn't. But only if you have to.

[egocentric]

Great. [It's way more fun when she's dealing with people who don't plan to kill her on sight.] I have a better idea. How about instead of trying to kill me, you go after the hybrid vampire-werewolf who would happily kill all your loved ones to get his way.

[...Katherine would do that too, of course, but that's... not a good thing to admit when she's trying to get someone on her side.]

[slay]

Believe me when I say he's on my list. He's just ... tougher.

[egocentric]

...I'm still hoping for the one with interplanetary travel.

Shouldn't you be preoccupied with the other doppelgänger?

[egocentric]

Exactly why you need to not kill me. No one knows his weaknesses better.

[slay]

Hmmm, let me think about that a second. [ A beat. ] Pass. How about instead, I beat the weaknesses out of you, and then I stake you.

[egocentric]

I guess I'll just have to use my best judgment.

[egocentric]

You really don't understand how leverage works, do you?

[somanyadjectives]

Guess you will.
