[ 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.

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.

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 ]

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

[lockwood]

Right. My mistake. Our room.

video » action?

[coy]

I'll be there, like, now. [ of course, it'll take a bit longer than that but she'll get there eventually, as fast as she can. AND IF ACTION IS OKAY...

caroline will not even bother with knocking since it is her room too, she'll just come right in, and pretty much jump on him, anxious arms wrapping around him.]

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. ]

[ 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?

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.

action totally okay!!!

[lockwood]

[He wraps his arms tightly around her, eyes closing for a moment.]

I kept looking for you but I couldn't find you.

action then!!!

[coy]

I know. [ she got his message once she was clear of the hallways but she's not about to say so. and she moves to kiss him.] I'm sorry. [ she kisses him again and then again.]

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

[ well, this is going well. ] I know. [ she doesn't want to go into it. she takes a second before encrypting the conversation, something she remembers before her stint as morgoth's puppet. those several days went by quickly. but that doesn't take away from everything she'd done. how she'd been. ] I want to be okay. [ it's a start. ] While you were lost, a shuttle was taken to a, a way station? Called Arima.

And what happened? Is everyone okay? [ because obviously bonnie wasn't.]

Several passengers, they were - they were influenced by someone.

Bonnie. [ must not sigh.] Stop with the vague. Just tell me what happened, okay?

[titfortat]

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

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

[coy]

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

[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.]

What? Why? You're talking about Bonnie Bennett, right?
