Alaric Saltzman and Jenna Sommers went home. I know a lot of you were friends of theirs, and they were here for a long time. I'm sorry for your loss.

[ it's short, but elena doesn't really know what else to say. just that hurt to type, and she can't... she just can't. knowing what they're going back to, that jenna is dead and ric is going to go crazy and then die too... she doesn't want that for them, doesn't want to think about it.

for all the tranquility's faults -- and faults is putting it lightly -- she at least had jenna and ric. her family was mostly put back together, and it was safe so long as they didn't try to do anything stupid. now they're gone, and damon doesn't remember anything, and honestly, she just wants to go home. there's nothing here anymore that makes staying worth it. ]

[ elena doesn't reply for a bit after that. she's heading to the kitchens for booze, because there is no way she can handle all this sober. ]

Damon disappeared last month, but he came back. He was gone for a week. Hopefully Caroline won't take that long to come back.

By the way, I'm not sure you know -- Damon's still here, but he's not the one that was here before. He doesn't remember anything about the Tranquility, and he didn't know I was a vampire. He thought I was dead.

[lockwood]

hopefully not. I've seen people go missing as long as a month before, though.

shit. that sucks. timeline stuff is bullshit.

[ex_heightens219]

If she takes that long I'm going to have to go after her. I almost went after Damon, but he came back.

Yeah. I hate being the one furthest ahead. I miss people who are already here.

[ namely damon. if she were going to have to get a new damon at least make it one who remembered them being together, tq, god. or at least one whose most recent memory of her wasn't her saying she was picking stefan. ]

[lockwood]

if she takes that long, I'm going after her. or we can go together.

yeah. I can't imagine.

[Nor does he really want to know --he's sure the future only gets worse, especially with what Elena said about Klaus running him out of town.]

[ex_heightens219]

We'll go together. At least if there's two of us we won't get stuck out there alone.

Sorry for the spoilers, again. If I'd known I would never have said anything.

[lockwood]

Exactly.

It's fine -- like you said, you didn't know. And I guess he doesn't either -- he's from shortly after he got out of my body, I guess.

[Which -- well having Klaus here when the asshole doesn't even remember murdering his mother?

It's somehow worse.]

[ex_heightens219]

Wow. Good job, TQ, way to make a bad situation even worse.

[ yeah she gets how that would make it suck even more. at least if he remembered tyler could be properly mad at him about it, or confront him. as it is if he tried klaus would probably just laugh. ]

I'm sorry about Mason. I'm sorry you keep losing people.

[lockwood]

seems to be what it's best at.


you too. I never really knew jenna before here -- she deserved better.

[ex_heightens219]

Hey, I'm in the kitchens on 26, wanna come get drunk with me? We can drink to all our dead family.

[ elena might be slightly drunk already. ]

[lockwood]

[Probably not the greatest of idea -- but Caroline is missing and she'd be upset if he didn't keep an eye on Elena and besides -- she sounds like she could use a friend right now. ]

sure, I'll be there in a few.
