starting the app ;;

[donotcare]

 It's been a while since you've written an application from scratch, hasn't it?  I'm honored to bestow upon you any overwhelming sensation you feel.  I told you before how complex I was, I only hope you can figure me out in time.

Or at least that you can believe to have figured me out.



Watch those last few episodes.  We don't want to keep Caroline waiting.

[ caroline rolls her eyes. ]

[donotcare]

There she is.

[disparage]

You know, talking yourself up doesn't make you any more likeable.

[donotcare]

Then tell me what does. To you.

[disparage]

[ caroline sighs. ] You really want the list?

[donotcare]

[ his brows go up. ] I'm waiting.

[disparage]

[ she raises a finger. ] Don't kill my friends.

[ oh, wait, that seems to be it. ] On second thought, that's pretty much it.

[donotcare]

[ he smiles. ]

Are any of them even on the boat?

[disparage]

[ … caroline's tone is incredibly uncertain, and she's vocally expressing that she knows she's going to end up walking herself into a corner. ]

No.

[ quick autocorrect: ] But they could be! You never know. These things are like really bad surprise birthday parties.

[donotcare]

But right now, they aren't.

[ this is said very confidently. he even leans in a little. ]

I must be getting more likable by the second.

[disparage]

Maybe in your own dreams.

[ no. no. no. no. miss mystic falls pageant didn't make you likeable! except it did. ]

You're still sitting in limbo, since you're, like, overwhelming your mun so much she might not be able to even sign you up.

[donotcare]

Mine or yours, love?

[ of course it did! and his ego might be growing ever so slightly. since she won't, it's up to klaus to compliment himself. ]

Oh, I'll make sure of it. I have a knack for getting whatever it is I desire. [ enjoy the once-over, doll. ]

[disparage]

[ 8|||| ]

Everything featuring you is a nightmare. [ except for when he's likeable and listens to her, then she likes him. she really should've stood him up at the miss mystic falls pageant. ]

And bullying and threatening her isn't going to get you anywhere. [ she exhales in defeat. ] Trust me, I've tried.

[donotcare]

[ B) ]

Now that's not very nice. I think you hurt my feeling. [ see him? does she see him putting his hand over his chest? that would have just broken his heart! ]

Oh have you? [ he seems.. proud of her. which is never a good thing. ] Tell me what it is you desire.

[disparage]

Do you really have feelings? [ she raises her eyebrows; she's being a deliberate cow now. she's not going to apologise, but she'll huff. this will be her apology: ] To be left alone. But not even people at home know what that means.

[donotcare]

Sometimes. [ for her. but he isn't ready to say all that just yet, or to go into how a thousand years can make someone go cold. he listens, though. nods and listens. ] You sound like you needed to get away from it all.

[disparage]

Yes! [ someone who understands her. for now, caroline forgets who she's speaking to, clicking her fingers as she almost jumps at someone finally getting what she wants. ] But some doofus just doesn't get that throwing me onto a ship isn't going to make me any less annoyed. What's wrong with taking a girl to Hollywood or some place that isn't infected with crazy people?

[donotcare]

[ and her playful excitement brings a mostly-genuine smile to his lips. he waits until she's finished to speak again. ] There are more cities, though I warn you most of the people in them are crazy.

You want to go to Hollywood?

[disparage]

[ it's almost like she's shy. caroline's used to a lot of the things she says being turned down immediately. ] It's a place I haven't been.

As lame as it is, it'd be nice to see those Hollywood stars right underneath my feet rather than on the television.

[donotcare]

[ his voice softens to a whisper, but he's completely serious when he speaks. ] I could take you there, you know. There and all the other places you haven't seen. Hollywood and Paris and Rome. All you have to do is ask, sweetheart.

[disparage]

[ caroline has an inkling that there will never be an opportunity to. the shit hits the fan all the time that maybe these alternate worlds are the best she'll ever get. ] I'm pretty sure we'll all be dead by the time anyone has any time to go see the world.

I bet Hollywood or Paris or Rome aren't as exciting as Mystic Falls.

[donotcare]

[ of course there will! as soon as she declares her love & stuff. ] I doubt that. You'd be safe with me.

Wouldn't you like to know for certain?

[disparage]

Yeah, I do. Maybe in a decade or century. [ :/ she will declare it on the top of the eiffel tower in 3000.

she tilts her head to the side, narrowing her eyes. ] You know, you say things like that, but then you threaten to kill me. You're really bad at giving one signal, you know.

[donotcare]

I have all the time in the world, love. I can wait. [ awesomesauce. he will totally be there. ]

I give the signals I'm feeling, but know I'm a man of my word, if nothing else. Threats are out of rage. Things like this are out of... [ he shrugs. ]

[disparage]

[ caroline is silent for a few moments. ] Threats are kind of how you don't get the girl - [ quickly: ] or friends or anyone - in the end.

If you threaten your mun she might try and throw you overboard into a sea of white oak stakes. [ she shrugs. karma is a bitch and klaus will get his just desserts if he keeps this shit up, js. if you want to be there in 3000, you got to change your tune, mate. ]
