[ Elena's laughing when the camera turns on, and she's fussing with her comm, trying to get it to stay upright in front of her on the bed while she sits cross-legged in front of the view. Her hair is still wet from her shower, but otherwise she looks pretty damn happy, considering... everything that just happened.

Jenna stands behind her, combing her hair out and looking a little overwhelmed, but happy herself. ]

Is this right? --It's like face-time, right? No, c'mon don't laugh at me I don't wanna mess this up.

Think of it like... Skype in space. Same general principle-- which means stop talking to me and address your adoring public.

[ and then Elena waves once at the camera, like she's just remembered it's on and broadcasting, and Jenna just laughs and continues brushing. ]

Um, hey. I'm Elena and I'm new here-

[ another burst of laughter from her before she keeps going ]

Sorry, I'm really bad at talking to a camera, um. I'm actually looking for my friends, if any of you guys are around. [ She sobers up a bit, not liking the idea of them being all split up, even if she does have Aunt Jenna right here with her. ] Bonnie and Caroline, if you're here let me know. [ weird quirk of a smile at this; ] I don't wanna be in space without you guys.

-- Stefan and Damon too.

[ Jenna, visible in the background, rolls her eyes at the second name but doesn't comment, letting Elena have her moment. (SORRY, ELDER SALVATORE. YOU TOUCHED HER UNDERAGE NIECE, YOU GET ALL THE EYEROLL.) ] You better be okay, if you're here. And Jeremy! Check in, please. You can't hide from us forever! [ more laughing again. ]


( ooc | FOR SAKE OF EASE dialogue in purple is Jenna, reddish is Elena. replies will come from both! )

Elena. What a surprise.

[Especially since Jenna told him that his favorite walking blood bag wasn't here.]

[martyrs]

Hi? [ she's still smiling, BUT WELL now it's a little bit curious. maybe he's one of Jenna's friends.. ] Have we met?

[grndnpnd]

[ oh look it's a mini-jenna.... well, sort of. ]

Couple people usually take roll after the jump. [ A little nod because obviously this is something Jenna knows and therefore useless to point out, but Tommy does not know how to say hi like a normal person. ]

video;

[martyrs]

[ basically, yeah. ]

Oh yeah! Jenna told me that. None of the people I named are people that have been here before, I'm just guessing that since I'm here, they're here too. [ guessing, hoping. same thing. ] I figured this was the easiest way to get in touch.

Tommy, this is Elena. [ terrified of klaus or not, jenna can't keep a grin off her face at the chance to introduce them. ] Elena, Tommy.

[ quinn stares at the feed at first because wtf katherine? but no she says she's elena... are they twins or something? the laughing though, seriously? ]

Nice to see someone is in a good mood.

Re: video;

[martyrs]

Is that unusual for this place?

[ Glancing back at her aunt now, because they hadn't gone into too much detail, but. ]

video;

[faderbroderson]

Friends from home, Jenna?

video;

[unparental]

My niece, Elena. [ just poking elena with the brush a little now, on her end. ] Elena, this is Godric.

[disparage]

[ caroline only knows that klaus and tyler happen to be here, and jenna from klaus, but she had to see it to believe it. and she's not quite sure she can, since there's jenna, alive and, well, very much like herself, and it makes her pause. ]

You're here, too?

Re: video;

[martyrs]

-- Careful, don't sound too excited. [ Elena's nose scrunches up when she laughs, confused. ]

Where are you? You should be here, please. Well, not right now if you're busy? [ how can she be busy though who else is here hmm hmm ] We need to get together, all of us, figure this stuff out.

video;

[unparental]

Caroline! [ now, that's a welcome face. ] Look at you, you look great.

[ she leans forward to hug elena, too. ] Both of you do.

[wont]

[ Brown-haired medieval princess, +1. She smiles modestly, and even gives a proper little dip of a bow. ]

Welcome, Elena, to the Tranquility. It is wonderful to see you've come to keep Jenna company.

video;

[martyrs]

Thanks. I'm actually pretty glad to be here too, once I heard Jenna and Ric have been here even longer. [ the idea of being without her family, or her family being without her, is really not a pleasant one, at this point. not with everything that's going on in Mystic Falls. so that's why she's all smiles, after freaking out immediately following her arrival. yikes. ]

You guys are friends? I'm not even shocked that my aunt's managed to become Miss Popular here. She's the best, right?

ANON TEXT;

[manipulativni]

You seem quite happy to be here, given the circumstances.

ANON TEXT;

[martyrs]

It's weird, sure, but there are worse things.

[ like having the oldest vampire in history of vampires coming after her oh wait ]

[onsilksheets]

My, you're quite the cheerful one, aren't you?

that would be the sound of Elena trying not to gasp or shout or fall off the bed. ]

R-Rose-! But you-? I mean.

Hi.

[ WIDE. EYES. ]

video; abusin' italics like it's my job

[dilemma]

Elena.

[ There's a lot of weight lifted off of his shoulders when he says her name. If he wound up here and she hadn't after everything that happened, well, he'd never forgive himself. But Jenna standing there behind her isn't as comforting a image. ]

...I see it's turned into a party. Stefan will be thrilled.

video; oh hey there mr damon 'i bleed italics' salvatore

[unparental]

Damon.

[ :| ]

video;

[martyrs]

[ audible sigh of relief here, though we're not going to specify if it's because Damon's checked in, or because he's confirmed that Stefan is here too, la la laaa ]

I was relieved (to say that least) when Jenna found me, so... yeah, I guess it did turn into a party.

video;

[surrogates]

[ because whatever, he can do what he wants when talking to you guys. because he's not back with vervain-ish things or whatever. ]

If I didn't know you two already knew I was here I might actually feel hurt about not being called out.

video;

[martyrs]

You checked in already, I didn't want to seem too overbearing.

[l o l yeah okay. ]

video;

[sainted]

[She's smiling. Laughing. The sound of it is at once unexpected and piercingly familiar... It scares him a little to realize he can't remember the last time he heard her laugh like this. Not since Alaric...

Stefan switches the video on.] I'm here.

[His gaze lingers on Jenna for a moment, but it's too much to bring it up while Elena's smiling like that. Later. If Damon doesn't ambush her for an interrogation first.]

How many of us does that make now?

[martyrs]

Hey.

[ aaah, so glad to see Stefan. ]

So far? We have -- Nine of us here. From Mystic Falls. No sign of Jeremy yet, though. Or Bonnie.
