on recently apping to scorched:

[deathandgin]

You just couldn't say no to the alter ego thing, huh? I think you forgot something. It's called consequence.

And without Bonnie's herbs? You, uh. Know. What's going to happen.

Comments

[watcherless]

That's right. If you're not all juiced up, you'll be the one who's Anatole's psycho in charge, huh? Can't say I'm crying over the heat bein' taken off me a little bit.

[deathandgin]

The only thing that thrills me more than being called a psycho is to help someone through the process of becoming one.

[coy]

Bonnie's going to make you an herb cocktail. Not the fun kind.


Except she doesn't have her mom to tell her how to make it so that's a... problem.

[deathandgin]

[Caroline, do you even know how reassurance works?]

To understate it a little, yeah.

[watcherless]

What, you think you're special enough to help out? Damn. Got an ego on you to boot. Sweetheart, I'm about ten exits past anybody helping. Not interested. In fact? Couldn't care less.

But, I won't hate watching you cut up your friends. 'Specially considering most of 'em are vamps. What's with that, anyway? Aren't you supposed to be some wanna-slay?

[godoftableflips]

You speak in riddles, for those of us who do not know your circumstance.

[coy]

[She's been hanging out with Damon too much.]

So if you go all psycho Jekell and Hyde... does that mean you're going to need us to lock you in a basement? Because we have a secret room in ours! I can decorate it for you.

[bigbad]

And here I was afraid Anatole would get boring.

[.....yeah, he wasn't afraid of that at all.]

[risks]

We'll figure it out. [ See, Elena's much better at reassurance. ] Bonnie may not know, but there's other people here who know magic and ... it's gonna be okay, Ric.

[ Elena is now just going to take a moment to look you over, Ric. She missed you so much :c And she manages a small smile. ]

[deathandgin]

Why do you have a secret room in your basement?

[Is there something he needs to know about here....]

[deathandgin]

The art of subtlety at work.

[deathandgin]

Really? Cross-dimensional kidnapping is old hat to you?

[deathandgin]

[Elena is skilled, but Alaric has recently gained a +10 to self-flagellation.]

Okay is no longer a word in operation here.

[Because fixing him isn't bringing anyone back. It doesn't make up for the hole he dug into Meredith's stomach. And it doesn't make up for even considering to kill Elena.]

[coy]

It's not a kinky thing. [Pointed look is a go.] Vampires aren't exactly popular where we're from either. And it's where we hide our weapons and vervain. [And if Tyler shows up... maybe they can use it for when he transforms.]

[godoftableflips]

There is a time for subtlety [ see: never ] and a time to be forthright. When trapped in another realm, you may find it does not benefit you to play at games with your companions.

[deathandgin]

The help thing was for getting attention off of you, since apparently that's something you want.

[Kids these days. Jeez.]

Wanna-slay? Seriously?

[deathandgin]

[The fact Caroline read his mind is unsettling. Also, not discussing kinky things with anyone who he still teaches, thanks.]

I think locking me up is the safest bet.

[watcherless]

You wanna try tellin' me I'm wrong?

[deathandgin]

I don't hunt them for thrills.

[coy]

[No hot for teacher? Ric, become a history teacher in Anatole.]

What? Why?

[watcherless]

Well, it sure as hell ain't like you got dragged kicking and screaming into it. No matter which way you spin it, still comes up wannabe. Alls I'm saying is, might be better if you left it to the pros.

[deathandgin]

The pros, huh.

[This face forever.]

I'm not really interested if you're planning on staking said friends of mine.

[deathandgin]

So I don't kill people?

[VAMPIRES AND THEIR INABILITY TO UNDERSTAND HUMAN GUILT... excessive human guilt, even.]

[coy]

[Caroline feels guilt! More than just buyer's remorse on designer shoes and gifts from creeper!Klaus.]

But I don't know about that!

[deathandgin]

Then we have a long and awkward conversation ahead of us.
