[ This is Bonnie's first post from her pod in Communications. After learning she found her mother, received help, and then lost her, she hasn't felt social. But, her job means she should be social. She's supposed to be talking to people. She's supposed to be friendly. She remembers when she was friendly. She remembers when her only problem was Caroline being disappointed in her cheerleading spirit. She also remembers when her grandmother was eccentric and not a witch.

She remembers when she wasn't a witch. When numbers didn't reoccur in her life, when she couldn't find birthday candles in a drawer she'd never opened.

She remembers when she wasn't living on a floating space station. Spaceship? She's still not well-versed in the difference.

But, alas, she faces her pod, sitting in her swiveling chair.

She had a question, something about how people deal with learning information from their future, but she doesn't ask for help. Nor does she need it. She knows how to cope. That's her life. Coping.

She's done talking about herself. Or, she's done feeling sorry about it.

Which is why she disappears. The screen switches off again. In truth, she's up from her chair and heading out of the communications area. It's an elevator away from stealing something from the bar, something that will go down with a good burn. But, she'd like to not be the girl who's always at the bar on the network. That isn't her. So, she swipes the bottle and a shot glass and heads back.

Again, she sticks her device inside the slot at her communications pod so about ten minutes later, she pops back up again. ]


Hey, TQ. [ Something she learned from Aidan. She pours a shot for herself. ] I'd like to play, how screwed up is your life. The rules are simple. Whoever's life is more screwed up - [ She looks at the screen. ] Drinks.

[ Not exactly a professional thing to do, but she's kind of done right now. Her best friends are both vampires. Two vampires she hates more than anything are on board. And one vampire her best friend loves killed her mother whom she still hasn't met. So, no, he will kill her mother. So, here she is. ]

I do have to warn you. I'll win every time. [ Unless Elena answers. She doesn't even bother locking this from Klaus or anyone. Anybody who wants to chime in, chastise, judge her even? They are more than welcome.

She is not okay.

She lifts her shot glass. ]
Any takers?

[He and Bonnie aren't close but he figures with Caroline missing he should probably keep tabs on her friends for her...and this is pretty alarming really. So he keeps the reply simple for now.]

Pretty sure no one actually wins that game.

Pretty much. That's name of the game here. [And back home. Tyler has no idea Bonnie's found out about her mom -- it's hard to keep track of all the terrible things that happened back home. Caroline lost her dad too. He lost his mother. Everyone just keeps losing people.

Everyone loses this game. Everyone.
]

Not yet. [He switches the feed to private because he knows there will be prying eyes. NONE FOR YOU KLAUS]

A friend of mine is going to help me track her, see if we can find her.
lockwood: (screw this i'm out)

[personal profile] lockwood 2014-04-12 10:41 pm (UTC)(link)
It's not, really. [And in his experience, Klaus always wins, one way or another, but he manages to not say that part.]

Derek might be able to track her scent -- and if she doesn't show back up soon I know Elena and I talked about looking for her together. It can get dangerous in those halls.
lockwood: (this surely won't turn out badly)

[personal profile] lockwood 2014-04-12 10:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, Damon did. But I've also seen people not come back, or come back hurt. I've gotten lost in those halls, I've seen what's out there. I've been here longer than any of you. [He knows just what this ship is capable of.]

I dunno. I never got one. [It slips out. Bonnie wouldn't know about that, he realizes. Then again, she shouldn't know about her mom either -- that happened while he was off breaking the sire bond. Apparently someone blabbed.]

[ Oh, he's watching this post. He nearly doesn't respond — but she was respectful in their last conversation, and she didn't have to be. And he's never wise (or is it unfeeling?) enough to turn away from these situations.

When he answers, he's in his room, completely empty and unidentifiable, unlike his brother's. ]


[ with a sigh, decidedly long-suffering, but by no means callous. He knows all too well the suffering the supernatural entail. ] Are you sure you want to extend that invitation to everyone?

Bad day?

I don't know. I think loss always sucks, whether you've experienced it yet or not. And live in Mystic Falls long enough and you're bound to lose someone. [He pauses for a moment and then adds.]

Caroline lost her dad a little before your mom -- I wasn't there for any of that, I was off breaking the sire bond but she told me about it.

Your mom though -- she's a vampire. She's not like dead dead.

[Maybe that isn't comforting, he'd take vampire!Carol over no mother though himself. Maybe that's selfish.]

Bonnie. [ Since they're stating the obvious. ]

Anyone playing?

Way ahead of you, Bon-Bon.

[ You can't win the misery game, Bonnie. ]

Mommy issues? Girl, you really are from the past.

[ He's eyeing this, and takes a second to weigh his response, but then well... Jason is Jason. ]

Not so sure you'd win, darling. [ It's not like he keeps his past a closely guarded secret anymore. ]

Can't I call someone girl now? Don't forget I'm your senior.

It gets worse for everyone, you know.

[ Well, if she's going to get drunk on booze and misery, it might as well be with someone who won't harm her. Witches always get the short end of the stick. He knows that from experience.

In a moment, he's there, fetching a bottle and sliding into the chair a space away from her. Naturally, he cleans the glasses himself first because space peasant germs or something, and pours conservative shots. ]


Everyone has something to hide, Miss Bennett, especially from themselves. [ random, useless adages with elijah mikaelson. ] Shall we begin with the deaths of loved ones or, ah, work our way up?
