O brother, where art thou?

[getsthelastword]

Cute. Real cute.

I hate cute.

And think about all of the opportunities you passed up in your haste to go fishing for a Stefan before reserves open. The possibilities are endless:

"Desperately seeking Stefan"

"Single, Italian vampire seeks dumbass little brother"

"Looking for Stefan in all the wrong places"

And let's not forget all the possible jokes about other characters in game looking for their brothers, whether it's a crazy Trojan or a Winchester or a Norse god.

But I digress.

Let's keep this simple, okay?

No.

That hurts a little, brother.

[getsthelastword]

Really? I was going for sweet.

[somanyadjectives]

I think you missed the mark a little.

[getsthelastword]

Did I? Where did I go wrong?

It was "dumbass," wasn't it?

[somanyadjectives]

That. And the whole thing just feels very negative. I don't feel wanted at all.

[getsthelastword]

Believe me when I say we'll all be a lot better off if you're not in the city that drives people to their darker urges. We already had one over-moussed vampire on a killing spree. I think two is pushing it. And I'm pretty sure honeyboy isn't going to let me pretend to kill him again.

Oh, so you found a replacement for Alaric, then.

[getsthelastword]

Well, you know how hunters are. They're completely interchangeable. Sometimes more literally than you would think.

[somanyadjectives]

Ric would probably be very hurt to hear that. I think he was under the impression you two were close.

"Single, Italian vampire seeks dumbass little brother"

You know that one's more of a winner than the O brother bit.

[getsthelastword]

Muns in haste miss comic gold.

[weaponmadeperfect]

But doesn't lack it in taste, You're much more charismatic than your brother.

[getsthelastword]

Familiar with our work, are you?

[weaponmadeperfect]

A little, and have to admit you're a better sibling pair to pay attention than the Redfields

[getsthelastword]

Not familiar.

[weaponmadeperfect]

They're not that important.

[getsthelastword]

Oh. Okay.

[wantedthis]

It's nice to know that even a different version of you is still in denial regarding your brother.

[getsthelastword]

You know, I just love it when women I don't know snark at me. Really makes my day.

Okay, I'll bite.

Denial?

[wantedthis]

The other you knows me.

And denial, yes - that you want your brother around.

[getsthelastword]

Oh, playing analyst? I'm not that dumbass.

[wantedthis]

[A shrug.] I didn't say you were.

[getsthelastword]

So what's your name, bellissima?

[wantedthis]

[Italian. Cute.] Isobel.

[getsthelastword]

Damon di Salvatore. But then, you already knew that.
