" it can certainly be difficult, trying to act as if this is the norm when you'd rather be elsewhere." she knew the feeling, watching her old home burn to the ground, even if she had ran from ther ever since. "it is never simple."

"hm? oh - sorry, i was just lost in thought." lexi admitted, forcing her usual smile to return to her features. "this time of year is always a little...weird when i've moved to a new place, you know?"

" i think the mikaelson traditions brings many to town, a tourist attraction...if only they knew." she had read of the mikaelsons, especially when studying as a human many moons ago. she knew of their legendary tales, and knew not to get involved. she turned to the other and merely shrugged, propping her chin on her hands. "looks may be deceiving then."

“  just  a  girl  that’s  new  in  town  .  by  the  looks  of  it  ,  i’m  not  the  only  one  .  ”  kate  replies  with  a  nonchalant  shrug  of  her  shoulders  .  she  turns  to  grab  a  glass  of  champagne  from  one  of  the  trays  .  “  wouldn’t  go  as  far  as  to  say  i’m  mysterious  ?  ”  well  that’s  a  lie  ,  there’d  always  been  a  shroud  of  mystery  with  the  denali  sisters  .  blonde  ,  beautiful  ,  enigmatic  .  kate  is  aware  of  this  .  however  ,  she  does  nothing  to  confirm  nor  deny  it  .

" such nobility is earned , and for sure you are no man of honour.' she defends, eyes averted, taking a moment to calm herself down. it is a emotion provoking situation, one that had taken her by surprise and taken all her emotions at once. "you couldn't if you tried , plus, my life has been preserved through being adverse to people like you, otherwise we end up dead whenever you have a nervous breakdown."

" i mean, if you're offering, i'd love one. " smiles, but it's forced, more uncomfortable than he'll ever admit aloud. it's never exactly a great feeling to be confronted by someone you killed, is it ? " my perception of myself is ... slightly less awesome than it was when we last met. it's a long story. i wasn't in a good place — but hey, alive looks great on you. pinky swear i won't kill you again. " / @augustinebound !

from the moment he paused , the delay between his response, she knew she had caught him by surprise. she liked the feeling , he would feel out of control and lost by such a notion. "makes a change , what do you want , a medal for being a decent person ?" she asked with a tilt of her head. " your own perception of yourself is likely righteous , as it always has been. "

eyes widen as he turns to find the unexpected source of that voice. " — maggie. " could use a humanity switch again right about now, but no such luck; lips press into a thin, hard line as he fights down a surge of guilt. " only ... about half the time now. i'm not exactly as monstrous as i used to be. and you're not as dead as you used to be. "

" what is your story , hm ?" she tilted her head , shuffling to sit beside them , chin propped on her hands. she was keen to get to know people in this town , and truly make the most out of her ' new life ' but it was harder than it looked. she exhaled , gnawing on her bottom lip. " or are you going to remain mysterious ? "

☂ — [receiver] sees [sender] fall from a roof/high place while putting up christmas lights - @thatbennettwitch

her attempts at gaining rest were in vein, and thus, her troubled mind had sent her on a walk around new territory. her original mission had been to visit mystic falls , where it all began for her , but at its demise, she had ventured where the locals went. she however, found that a mixture of uncertain feelings circled her mind, almost as if she was grieving what was left behind. she took a stroll in the neighbourhood, circling the complex, hands in pockets, enjoying the cool winter air on her skin. she was deep in thought, eyes scanning to survey a woman placing christmas lights on the roof of their home. it was a festive occasion which she was doing her best to embrace. she wished for the festivities she once knew , however , it had been somewhat replaced with feelings of loss. her thoughts consumed her, but as her gaze met the others, watching her stumble and fall, maggie raced to catch her before she hit the ground. "do you have a death wish?"

[augustinebound]

" tell me , what's your favourite part of christmas?" she asked, lifting the glass to her lips with a small smile. she was doing her best to get to know the locals, to delve into local delicacies and traditions. she had done so wherever she moved to, it was part of the norm, almost too natural for her now. // any of lauren's characters @thatbennettwitch

[augustinebound]

" this time of year is for cheer , did you not get the memo?" she had noted the rather stern complexion, not wishing to pry, but at least add a little joy to their day. she was doing her best to blend in with the locals, not to appear out of place or arouse suspicion. // any of leona's characters @vampyredefender

" damon salvatore , the bane of my existence. " she had spent centuries avoiding him , and she knew it would not last forever. over the years, she had gained strength that left her more equipped to see the man who killed her. she no longer feared him , his presence did not alarm her the way it used to. "tell me , are you continuing to make everyone's life a misery? " @dvmons

[augustinebound]

" the festivities remain the same each year , what happened to some originality?" with a deep sigh , maggie returned her gaze to them , brows quirked in curiosity. she had seen many christmas seasons , often leaving her alone causing her to despise this time of year.

name: maggie james

age: 30/80+

species: vampire

Backstory:

Maggie was like any other girl in the 1950's, destined to be wed when she turned eighteen, expecting to be a housewife. However, from a young age she had been exceptionally gifted. she thrived in science, and psychology, wishing to pursue this and make a life for herself.

Maggie was working with the Augustines by studying vampire behavior sometime during the 1950s. She met Enzo and fell in love with him as she got to know him for her work, as he did with her. Maggie had no part in the torturous experiments at Augustine, and for the longest time, she did not know that Dr. Whitmore was doing more than just observe Enzo's behavior. Upon learning what had been going on, she begged him to turn her so she would have the strength to break him out, also giving themselves the opportunity to be together forever. However, Enzo, caring too deeply for Maggie to hurt her, instead compelled her to leave and forget him. It was later revealed that she had moved to Mystic Falls later on in the decade.

Maggie was looking for Damon Salvatore in retribution for letting the people in Whitmore House (including, according to her knowledge, Enzo, though she was mistaken) die in the fire. She instead ran into Stefan, who she knew about as well. She told him he should just give up his brother since he was just as bad as he sounded, but Stefan instead tried to scare her enough to leave both of them alone.On November 8, 1960, when John F. Kennedy was elected president, Damon was told that a woman wanted to meet him. Maggie met up with him and told him what she knew about the Whitmore fire and acted very touchy about it. When Damon informed her that he had flipped his humanity switch off, she replied that he really was a monster and tried to inject him with vervain in a syringe with the Augustine seal on it. Damon snarked that he isn't a fan of needles and proceeded to choke her until he killed her. Unbenowst to him, Maggie had consumed vampire blood and returned as a vampire. She kept a lot profile all these years in fear of meeting her maker. However, despite her best efforts, she was captured by Augustine and experimented on until she escaped in the early 2000's. She has been tainted with trauma ever since.
