[ at first there's a bit of static before the image gets clear and look! its caroline forbes. and she looks annoyed and completely, uncharacteristically disheveled. ah but she looks characteristically and justifiably annoyed.]

Finally, this stupid thing is working. I mean, seriously? Why doesn't it have a GPS or something, you make one wrong turn and-- [ she looks suddenly over her shoulder, still feeling the residual paranoia that comes with getting lost in the hallways. then she's back!]

How long was I gone? What's going on?

[A lot has been going on but first and foremost Tyler is already in motion as he replies.]

Caroline? Where are you? It's been a couple of weeks now.

[coy]

A couple of... [ ugh, she'll freak out about that later. first thing's first.] Tyler-- Don't. I'll come to you. I don't want you to get lost too.

Re: video;

[lockwood]

I'm not going to get lost. [But fine.] Meet me in my room, then?

[coy]

[ she gives him a smile.] In our room.

I would suggest having an old fashioned map handy, love, but I see people get lost in the hallways regardless. [ The ship is a veritable maze and he hopes to explore it in its entirety one of these days. After all, what is there for an immortal to be afraid of? aside from the white oak stake, loss of power, control, family... /short list ]

[coy]

Thanks for the helpful tip. [ you get a look, klaus.]

[ex_wrathful628]

[ In all seriousness now. ] I was concerned. [ If he had known where to look, he would have searched for her. It wouldn't be the first time. ]

[coy]

[ her lips press together.] I'm fine. Just a little turned around and hungry. [ and in need of a shower but she won't give him that visual.]

[ she's not okay. she's very not okay. and maybe that's why she lashes out. because as much as a hypocrite as she can be, as much of a hypocrite as she knows klaus is, she's hit her breaking point. they don't live in klaus' world. their lives no longer revolve around him. ]

Maps don't help with the hallways, Klaus. You get that us leaving you alone goes both ways?

I don't recall ever coming to any such agreements, but go ahead, love. Refresh my memory. [ His patience tends to run thin with those who think they can manipulate, control or threaten him. ]

[ Maybe it's in her head, some agreement where he keeps to himself. No, the agreement was not going after him. That was the agreement. And hadn't they done a bang up job of that. ]

I thought it was implied.

Caroline.

[ she says it before thinking, as a reflex. it's Caroline's voice. before everything happened, before him, she'd been worried. here Caroline is safe and sound and all Bonnie wants to do is cower away. she'd get her revenge, her real revenge but Morgoth is dead. And she fought against the rescuers. She'd done unspeakable things to Damon. captured him. caused him pain. she betrayed friends and acquaintances alike. ]

It's been a few weeks. [ it's all she can muster. but she's alive. and caroline is there. bonnie can sleep soundly.

in theory.

she won't sleep soundly for sometime. ]

Bonnie? [ she can sense something is up...]Bonnie? What's wrong?

[unbalancer]

[ she looks up, which doesn't matter, because she's a disembodied voice. a tear escapes and she fights back the tears over what she's done. if she were vampire, would this be the time she turns it off? would it help? ] Nothing. I'm happy to hear from you. That's all. [ it's a complete lie. she'd probably hear her heart beat if she could. all Caroline has to do is talk to Elena and her tiny house of lying cards comes down. but, she can't admit it. not to Caroline, not now, not like this. ] I'm h-happy you're okay.

[coy]

You don't sound... Are you okay? [ your best friend is worried.] I'm okay, I promise.

Tyler was looking for you

[ yes a+ introduction, derek. ]

text, auggielocked;

[coy]

[ oh hey derek. nicetomeetcha] I'm not surprised.

text, auggielocked;

[altercate]

You've been gone since the jump.
Have you seen him?

text, auggielocked;

[coy]

Not yet. I'm going to him now. Has anything happened? I mean, has he been okay?

[titfortat]

Oh, good. Now maybe someone can get their witchy friend under control.

[Didn't you miss him, Caroline? No? Tooooo baaaaaad.]

video;

[coy]

[ ugh damon, she is not so glad to see you.] What are you talking about?

video;

[titfortat]

Oh, nothing. She only joined up with a group of crazies and proceeded to hold a bunch of people hostage for all kinds of fun torturing purposes.

[Totally acting like it's no big thang. He hasn't exactly entirely mentally recovered yet. He might even look a little tired. He's fed since, but it was more than a couple days of brain aneurysms, forced nightmares, and bloodletting.]

voice;

[humanistic]

[Not a lot of answers for you, Caroline, sorry, but a question--]

Are you all right?

[because you sound all right, except for that trail off there, and the paranoia in that one little glance is sort of familiar...]

voice;

[coy]

[ oh hai, mitchell! she lets out a breath.]

Besides needing a shower and a snack, I'm okay. Just a little turned around. [ and paranoid. but the hallways do that.]

How are you?

voice; also i guess i'm dating this thread to like the 27th ish or something sorry

[humanistic]

Well, I'm here.

[He says it kind of bitterly: it's good and bad, it's living but not maybe ideal. The bitterness helps to distance him from any real in depth answers to the question, because the truth is a little less succinct.

But he manages to move on, fairly lightly.]

We always had the showers, but you're in luck on the snacks. People brought back all kinds of stuff. We had a chance to get off of this ship, if no one's told you yet.

[That's if you're talking regular snacks; let's not even broach the subject of anything a bit bloodier, ok.]
