on impending plans for throne of shadows

[healthinsurance]

Just no.

I get that Elena's there and she's human and that's awesome. But, you could take anyone else. I see your list. I'm not the only person in Mystic Falls. Take a Salvatore. I don't get their appeal but maybe the prince will.

Or anyone else. I have better things to do and if you haven't noticed one of my best friends might be dead.

It's called, priorities.

[braveandstupid]

Their priorities never seem to match our priorities.

[judgy]

I think their only priority is to torture us.

[ Don't even talk to her about recent canon. Just don't. ]

[healthinsurance]

Maybe if he had a job or a mortgage to worry about, he'd have them.

How bad is it there?

[healthinsurance]

Great. Because, my life doesn't suck enough. Dead sister. MIA mother.

[braveandstupid]

It's not ... bad. It's a little weird, but it's not bad.

The other candidates are nice.

[healthinsurance]

That's something. It's not just us. I can just fade into the background. Stop working out. Let myself go. [ LOL, like Matt will ever do that. ] Can I get a job?

[braveandstupid]

Yeah. I need to start finding one, actually. They have lots of bars?

[a beat]

But you might want to skip the Serpent's Head.

[unless he wants to be topless all the time, which ... he's totally allowed to do.]

[healthinsurance]

Just like the Mystic Grill. Maybe I'm destined to wait tables in small towns.

[ ... why. ]

I'll keep that in mind.

[judgy]

Just be glad she hasn't turned you into anything non-human.

[healthinsurance]

That might defeat the purpose of me being me.

[judgy]

[ And that actually gets a grin. Oh, Matt, she loves you so much.

In a platonic way so we're clear.

Even though she did kinda kiss a Matt that one time.

She was just really happy to see him, okay? ]

True, but you never know with these people. Trust me on that.

[braveandstupid]

This isn't your average small town. Trust me.

[advancedbosoms]

My best friends might be dead on a weekly basis. Color me yawning.

What else do you have going on?

[healthinsurance]

You know I do, Elena.

What do you mean?

[healthinsurance]

Look, he tries to do anything to me I don't one, I'll kick his ass.

[ Oh, Matt. That's not how this works. ]

[healthinsurance]

This one might stick.

Work. A life.

[braveandstupid]

I arrived in the city right after there was a monster invasion.

[as an example.]

[healthinsurance]

Why would anyone want to bring us to these places?

[braveandstupid]

Because they enjoy making us suffer?

[healthinsurance]

Have they met us? We suffer without them. I just lost my best friend. Again. And Tyler's leaving. Again. Pretty much suffering on a weekly basis.

[braveandstupid]

They consider it suffering light?

[healthinsurance]

You're a vampire, Elena. How much more does she want you to suffer?

[ sighing ]

If I don't have a choice, I'm glad you'll be there. We can look out for each other.

[braveandstupid]

No. I mean, being other places is suffering light. I'm usually not a vampire.

[which at least makes things a little easier.]

Yeah. It'd be good not to be alone.

[healthinsurance]

Oh. Great. We suffer but we suffer less. Should I be grateful?

[ she's right. ]

I'm sorry you're alone. You won't be for long. Apparently.

[braveandstupid]

I think you'll like it here. No Salvatores. No Klaus, no Rebekah.

[healthinsurance]

Vampire-free. Can't say I'd hate that.

[braveandstupid]

[Not exactly vampire free but no vampires she knows about yet, anyway.]

Plus, no school.

[healthinsurance]

I don't... know how I feel about that.

[braveandstupid]

No tests, no homework, no classes.

So it can't be that bad.

[And she's not dead. She's not a vampire. That has to count for something.]

[healthinsurance]

No diploma. [ But... ] No vampire drama. Yeah, it wouldn't suck.

[braveandstupid]

And all the beds are hammocks.

[she doesn't know why this is a pro, because they're terrible for your back, but it's totally a pro.]

[healthinsurance]

Seriously?

[braveandstupid]

Yep. At least where all the candidates are living right now.

[healthinsurance]

It sounds like we're being elected.

[braveandstupid]

That's what they call us. I haven't been there long enough to try and change it.

[judgy]

[ Yeah, Bonnie knows that's not how it works. ]

Good luck with that.

[healthinsurance]

Thanks. So, you're a werewolf?

[judgy]

Yep. Also a bird sometimes.
