[ Elena doesn't look different compared to the last time she popped up on the network, she refuses to think she looks any different or sounds any different, but she is feeling a bit wary, on edge. like even posting an entry on this little communication device might be some kinda risk, now that she's... what she is. for someone that wasn't hit with the space-plague, she still looks very tired. less excited to be here with her family, anyway, since it just means they all have been dealing with a different level of drama than they did back in Mystic Falls. ]

I'm sure someone's already asked this - but what are we going to do if everyone gets sick again? Do we know what caused it yet? [ yes, she's worried about her friends and family. and about being surrounded by people who were bleeding uncontrollably, yeah, that too. Elena hasn't had any huge issues with control, but the idea of it becoming a regular thing scares her more than she'll let on. ] I'm just worried that the cure won't last forever, that's all. Or that it'll only get worse if it ever does come back.

-- Wow, I'm being such a downer right now, sorry about that. The space plague shook me up worse than I thought, apparently. [ a small 'why am I even talking right now' smile forms at that ] I guess what I'm trying to ask is if there's anything we should do? You know, to prepare for it. I just want to know what I can do to keep my friends safe.

I don't know how else to say this, so I'll just say it:

The last time we all went to sleep in those pod-tube-things, I went back home. For what felt like months, but I guess it wasn't. I don't really know how it works. [ not the poooint, get on with it, right ] Either way. We've all been through a lot, more than I ever realized, and I know that now. And I don't know who else has been through everything that I experienced, but, there's one thing I know I need to say, even if we're from different points in time, just because I owe you all that much honesty. [ if she sounds like she's reading from a cue card, it's because she doesn't really- it's still processing. she's still trying to figure it out. so she sounds unreasonably calm, focused. she might've practiced what she wants to say just to make sure she doesn't talk her way out of it midway through the transmission ]

Matt and I got into a car accident. A bad one, on Wickery Bridge. He got out, Stefan got him out, but I-- drowned. I died. But somehow, and I really don't know how, I ended up waking up here, in transition. Since then I drank human blood, I finished the cycle, and now I'm a vampire.

Yeah. I'm still trying to figure out what happened exactly, and I'm not by any means 100% okay with it, but I wanted to explain myself. For my hermit-like behavior. I'm sorry I didn't say anything sooner.

[ ..... SIGH. YEP. THAT'S A THING THAT HAPPENED. it's weird confessing that sort of thing over Space Skype. but. there it is. ]

And now I'm really hungry. Is there such a thing as stress eating for vampires? Not that I'm stressing. But. The two bags I got from the medbay last week are gone already. I didn't-- mean to, I just got... hungry, yeah. And I'm not freaking out or crazy craving or anything, but it's getting to the point where people's pulses are just jumping in my head whenever I'm anywhere near more than a few people at a time, and it's really loud, like it's just trying to remind me how hungry I am, and--

Is this weird to talk about this stuff like this? I don't want to keep anything from you guys. Because what's the point, right? I figure trying to ignore it will only make it worse. Right?

Alright, so maybe I am stressing out a little.
