001 -- video; backdated to immediately post jump.

[sufferances]

[ it's obvious, from the dampness of stefan's hair and the disarry of his hair, that he's just come from the jump. there's a pause before he starts speaking, like he's not totally certain it's recording. technology, man, technology. ]

According to what I've found in the backlogs, I've been here before.

[ because of course what stefan did was sit down and do some reading. is anyone surprised? ]

The catch is, I don't remember being here before. So I suppose my point is, how common of a thing is that? Has it happened to anyone here before?

And if Mystic Falls means anything to anyone...

[ awkward pause, stefan twitches a smile, eyebrows raised, and then he cuts the connection. ]

[sufferances]

That's an understatement.

[ seriously ]

Have you talked to Elena?

[typically]

[ She's his sister, so, yeah, Stefan. But... ]

About what?

[sufferances]

About...anything.

[ talk about the elephant in the room ]

[typically]

I know she's a vampire, Stefan.

and then this entire thread was locked.

[sufferances]

Did you see it happen?

jeremy appreciates locks.

[typically]

It hasn't happened yet. [ except... ] The last thing I remember is coming down the stairs. Nobody was answering. And then I saw Ric. And that meant... [ Elena had died ] I don't know what happened...

[ herego his guilt and the current conversation with Damon ]

[sufferances]

She told me about it. Some of it.

[typically]

How'd she die?

[sufferances]

Jeremy, you should talk to her. This shouldn't be something that I...I wasn't there. Not yet.

[typically]

Yeah. Yeah, you're right.

[ It's hard enough but he knows he has to. He needs to hear both sides. The consequences from what he did and what happened on her end. Add her to the list of people to talk to. ]
