[ hello, tranquility. you remember dean, right? yes? no? either way, today finds him planning something stupid. at least act surprised. ]

I don't know about the rest of you guys, but I'm not looking forward to climbing back into that pod-thing for another jump. [ nope, not one bit. not if it means there's a chance he won't wake up for another month again. ]

Does anyone know what would happen if I skipped out on that? I mean, I guess turnin' into space dust's worse than pullin' another act of Sleeping Beauty, but if there's any way 'round that… Or if you have some gruesome tale 'bout how your buddy Joe tried it and got eaten by a space dinosaur, let's hear 'bout it.

[ let him know. or something.

a beat later, and on an entirely different subject; ] Also. Who the hell does a guy have to get cozy with 'round here to get somethin' more... fun in his locker? [ do yourself a solid and don't ask what's fun is. the smirk on his face should speak for him. it's gone with the next bit though; ] ...'cause not for nothing, but aside from people dyin' and monsters lurking in the dark, not a lot seems to happen 'round here. Almost like home, y'know, except for this bein' some sci-fi nerd's wet dream.

[ okay, maybe that's a little unfair considering he has to physically stop himself from losing his shit every time some iconic pop culture character decides to show up. ]

You choke on space salad or something, man? [ AS IN HEY BRO HOW'S IT GOING DEAN'S BORED so let's go do something reckless. ]

A little.

[ S M I L E. ]

You got damn lucky. And I don't think so, everyone's just as confused as ever. Creepy thing is, we all had the same dream, so it sure as hell wasn't your average group snooze gathering either. [ the whole thing is beyond unsettling hence the whole not getting back into the pod plan. ]

Well, I have a little experience, too.

[ she sees what you're doing there. ]

But do you really think it's going to happen again? This ship tends to be more creative than that. I'm not sure that's a good thing, but you get what I mean.

Edited 2013-02-02 21:49 (UTC)

You? Seriously?

[ you don't look the type and he has to just...peer at the screen a little. ]

Didn't think it'd happen the first time, so why not? Heck, could be longer this time 'round too. [ beat. as for creativity... ] Yeah, next thing you know those asleep're gonna start gettin' hurt in their dreams. Good stuff.

Yeah, me. Why is that hard to believe?

[ hmmm? ]

I'm not saying any of that won't happen, but it's probably going to be unlikely. You're really just going to sit this one out?

Very, sweetheart.

[ h o n e s t y. ]

I'm great at unlikely, so yeah, that's the plan right now.

You're pretty quick to judge, you know that?

[ because he's w r o n g. ]

Well, I guess at this point I can only say good luck. And I hope you make it through.

I'm usually pretty spot on, though.

[ oops. ]

Well ain't that sweet of you, darlin'.

Sure.

[ sweetheart and now darling? ] It's Elena, by the way.

Elena, huh? 'kay then, you sayin' I'm wrong 'bout you, Elena?

[ creative pet names, yeah. ]

[ now that he's asking, elena rethinks how to explain. she doesn't want to reveal she's a vampire unless it's absolutely necessary. it's not lying if she's just ... leaving out some details. ]

Let's just say back home, the town I lived in, was not a stranger to the supernatural.

[ he's expecting her to just jump right into some this or that about her life and self that he can roll his eyes at but... okay, supernatural town gets some points. ]

Alright, supernatural how? 'cause this place is a whole 'nother level from most folks idea of supernatural.

[ she's thankful for him not rolling his eyes, really. ]

Okay, space is a new thing for me. But I'm talking more along the lines of vampires and werewolves and witches. [ a beat. ] And curses and doppelgangers.

Ah, you mean that fun stuff. [ though he doesn't know what a doppelganger in the supernatural sense is. for now there's a brief pause. ] So then what does that make this town of yours? Some kinda monster hot spot? Tell me you gotta outta that mess.

I don't think fun has ever been used to describe it. [ except maybe damon did. ] But I guess, I'm not sure. It's always attracted those kind of supernatural things since it was founded.

[ she pauses for this one. ] Actually, I was still there before I came here.

And you guys just...live with them all? That's it, all's dandy? [ he gets the urge to start decapitating and shooting silver bullets from this conversation alone.

ALSO UNIMPRESSED. ] Why?

[ elena leans her head back slightly, sort of thrown off by the question. ] They aren't exactly out in the open. Half the town probably doesn't realize they exist.

[ and for a while it was a secret only a few of them knew. ]

It's our home. [ and now she's joined the ranks of the supernatural herself, but... ] Why would we leave? I mean, eventually some of us might, but wouldn't you rather that be on your own terms?

[ basically if a threat comes to mystic falls, it makes more sense to get that out. not themselves. ]

I'm not sayin' don't protect what's yours, but what're you able to do 'bout it? Do you even know how to kill a vampire or a werewolf-- or whatever? [ HE FIGURES SHE MIGHT??? what with coming from monster town and all, but you never know. ]

[ it seems weird, discussing with someone how they could technically kill her, but at least it covers things up for now. ]

Of course. If I have to. You don't live in a town like that and not know.

Like I said, you don't exactly strike me as some vampire slayer chick, so I'm kinda all for double-checking. [ 8| ]

[ she tries not to make the biggest face ever. ]

I wouldn't even call myself a vampire slayer chick. I'm just saying I know what I'm dealing with.

Apparently well enough to not be dead. That's something.

[ HAHAhahaha ha ha ha. ]

Yeah, or something like that. Thanks. [ CHANGING TOPICS. ] So, what's your name? That way I'll know if you make it through or not.

[ HAVE A SMILE-- or smirk, or something because fine, changing subjects. ] You can call me Dean.
