         "i –" diana gulped and tried to ignore her racing heartbeat because this encounter was so unexpected and because she developed a bad feeling whenever she sensed a vampire. she just wanted to take out the garbage and usually, this was a quiet area, even though the center of new orleans was not far from here. nothing had ever been conspicuous here. so why now?

         "i didn’t see anything, just forget i was here."

              "it is very generous of the gods to accept this form of worship." elijah seemed to be convinced that the gods did not see a problem, but tatia was still undecided.

             "don’t you miss having a place where you feel connected to the gods? where you feel like you are heard from them without having the distraction and disturbance of your home environment?" to honor the gods at home sounded comfortable, but it took away the unique atmosphere that's found in the special environment and the sacred charisma.

             "that is a lot," tatia admitted because she hadn't expected it to be so far away. she needed to bring her daughter with her or find someone to look after her while she was gone. "but i'm sure i'm going to find a solution to make it work." they were depended on it and especially in the winter it was one of the few sources to get something fresh to eat.

             "thank you for telling me, elijah." || @multi-royalty

────── "where ever you are, they're with you. While sacred land is something taught, the god's appreciate all efforts you give". He was confident in his response, sharing his mothers words that he among his siblings truly believed. They practiced their faith together, it was important to him to be a good role model for his younger siblings.

"many folk in our town cherish their faith , and many practice in the way that my family does, I ensure you that it isn't challenging the gods, it is simply how we've had to adapt". surly the gods above could see that?

"it certainly is half a day's work at least" he said looking in the streams general direction. "but it's a simple route once you've come this far". Straight down the bank, in the spring the surrounding areas blossom in bright colours and as the autumn brew, shades of sunset leaves cover the grounds.

"she likes to be of hand, it's her way of giving back to the community".

Nadia does Katherine's BPD ever affect your ability to communicate/connect with her? Are you aware in the moment that that is what it is? If so how does that change how you interact with her?

Ask my muse invasive questions on anon and see how they react || accepting

             "i'm not a psychologist, i don't know how that letter combination affects her or what it even is. katherine pierce doesn't come with a manual or a profile. how do you even know about it? has she mentioned she suffers from bpd?"

             "i try to remember that she's indeed only a very young adult. although she's not even that, she's an older teenager. she obviously has more than one trauma but it's again nothing i can help her with because i'm not a psychologist or doctor. perhaps it would help her if she actually sought professional help but i'll bet she will gauge your eyes out if you even suggest such a thing. if stefan suggests it, then she might consider it."

             nadia rolled her eyes before she sighed because that wasn't the question.

             "but back to the topic. i do think we have a transmitter-receiver problem. i don't know how to solve it because it's not easy but i try to be somewhat understanding. which isn't easy as well because it's admittedly mind-blowing to keep in mind your own mother is younger than you."

             "i do admit that i lack patience and understanding when things get heated or when we are in a fight. i tend to forget that it's sometimes not her fault even though it goes on my nerves that she's sometimes horribly childish. it also sucks that sometimes i feel like i'm the parent that has the misfortune to have a very bratty child."

What do you need from your mom Nadia? Why is it all a fight?

Ask my muse invasive questions on anon and see how they react || accepting

              "why do you ask me why everything is a fight? you need to ask her."

             "it would help if i felt more relevant to her. if i didn't have to feel like an annoying, unnecessary burden she has to spend time with. she obviously lacks social skills in that whole 'being a mother'-aspect but sometimes i do think whether she listens to what she says. sometimes i have the feeling she would be relieved if i just returned home and left her."

             "sometimes i really do question whether it's my fault. if i'm somehow ... wrong. if i'm being too persistent although her aversion is sometimes quite clear. but if i leave and go back to prague, do you think she's going to visit me? or call? i don't think so. i don't even think there's any bad intention behind it, she's sometimes just incredibly clumsy and helpless when it comes to being a mother or even a friend."

             "another thing that bothers me is her obsession with stefan. she would literally put him before anything else and complains that she doesn't get his love. hello? i'm here, i want your love. i'll give you love. but she doesn't seem to want that kind of love or rather has no idea what to do with it."

             "and don't let me forget the whole thing with matt. i have, had, a thing for him. she ruined it by saying she's all enchanted with him and drooling over him even though she's at the same time also into stefan. why would she do that? if that's her way of being funny then no, thanks."

             "perhaps it's my fault, though. i'm too old for needing a mother, i shouldn't pressure her into it."

          not everyone was suited to spy, that’s true. "sometimes this is the best cover. one would not suspect that a noisy person is a spy." however, gia was not seriously interested in finding out; she had nothing to hide. "i don’t know how much sense it makes to treat such ancient people and sincerely hope for a therapy success, but i also think that you should charge for your activity." they were not on the poverty line, they could afford to have their own psychologist. plus cami probably also spent a lot of time on them or because of them.

         "i think the essential basics is to not get killed. which is is admittedly a challenging task." gia has noticed that there are only very few very young vampires who were turned before her which makes her wonder if marcel has just recently started to turn people or if the ones turned before her had mostly died already. "and i get that he wants to be successful in his task – i mean i, too, don't have the desire to fail and die but he's always so serious." to be honest, she was quite intimidated in the beginning.

         "i have no idea what he does for fun." a shrug followed her words because it's difficult to picture him letting loose. "he has an interest in music as far as i can tell but apart from that? no idea."

         a smile spread on gia's lip at cami's suggestion. "that sounds nice." truly. it's nice to not be continuously involved in supernatural drama. || @taintedbloodlines

"I would suck as a spy actually. I am far too nosy for my own good --- I'd out myself so quickly," Cami said, humor injected into her voice. She then considered what Gia said next. "Actually, they don't pay me at all. I should fix that --- considering everything. I sort of fell into this role. I just...I see good in them and I want them to see it too."

Considering she was human and they were immortal, she knew damn well she was on a time crunch to make it happen.

She raised a brow at Gia's assessment of Elijah's teaching style. "Hmm, I suppose that he is hoping to teach you the basic quickly to ensure your survival?" It was her best guess based on what she knew about the man. "Also...I am not sure he knows what fun is. I would challenge you to see if you can help him find it. Because honestly, he needs it. I don't think I've ever seen him without a suit. Have you? If you have, you have to tell me."

She laughed a little at the thought of it. "I think the two of us should hang out more often --- vent about the Mikaelson and then not worry about anyone else finding out."

          the hint of confusion on amara's features is probably no surprising sight anymore because katherine often uses words and descriptions amara simply doesn't understand. what is darwin's choice? and who is darwin? amara considered asking but she quickly buried the idea, not wanting to appear stupid. 

          "isn't my voice her voice and even to some part your voice?" she frowned slightly because that should be the case, shouldn't it be? although katherine's voice seemed to be slightly deeper/more raspy than elena's –  which could also just be because of how she speaks.

          a sigh escaped her lips, the palms of her hands smoothing softly over her knees while she thought about what to say. she still would prefer to be left alone as she loved the silence. but she also knows that katherine doesn't accept a no and that she tends to get violent if she doesn't get what she wants. 

          "i had a lot siblings. i think i had over nine, probably even more. i hardly remember my family anymore, i don't even really remember what my mother looked like. i was too young when i left them." amara felt like she should remember them but she couldn't recall their faces completely, even most names were forgotten.

"The trolley problem? You find yourself in a speeding trolley and if you stay on your current path you'll hit and kill five people, but you can pull the leaver, switch the tracks and only hit one person and kill one instead. Do you pull the lever and save five trading the one?"

          nadia furrowed her brows because that wasn't what she had expected behind the term 'trolley problem'. and if she's honest, she doesn't see where the problem lies.

          "i assume braking is not an option?" probably not because it wouldn't be some kind of problem if it were a possibility.

          "if all six people have the same requirements, for example, are tied to a track, then i would of course switch tracks if i hit some people anyway. saving five is better than saving one. unless, of course, those five are the bad guys. then they can die."

          "why do you even think about such a theoretical thing? don't tell me you developed a conscience. or have you done something bad?" || @malka-lisitsa

           "why are you acting like i had a choice in this? i did not choose this, i did not ask to become a vampire! i don't even know how it happened, i just woke up and was like this. i would have been content to stay a human and have an ordinary life." even though natalia didn't think she had to explain herself, she felt like katherine's accusations weren't fair.

          they weren't similar. she was nothing like her older sister.

Positivity anon here! Could I ask you to shout out to your five fave blogs? Just to make someone smile today and let them know you love their blog! Maybe even say a little about why!

i will split this between this blog and my elijah blog because i also got such a message there :)

@multi-royalty: you have an impressive portfolio of muses who (partly) are incredibly rare to find and definitely deserve more attention than they usually get in the rp-world. as far as i know, you're also the only other nadia that's currently active (and nadia does deserve more love and recognizing as well). i'm happy that you wanted to write with my two ocs and the less popular muses ♥

@malka-lisitsa : we have impressive dynamics and even more astounding development/evolution of those dynamics. the scope of our interactions is sometimes really gigantic, no matter if it's on my multi or on elijah. i also still thank you for making this blog's promo ♥

@seilas: interacting with you is always a pleasure, no matter if it's with silas (although he can be a true bitch lol), with stefan, or even with zach or tom. i'm also thankful that you always come to find me again after you switch blogs because i'm really bad at keeping track if someone moves blogs. you're an icon ♥

@ladamedemartel: your passion for aurora is incredibly beautiful to witness and i'm happy that we have more than one interaction. the amara/aurora duo is definitely something no one would have seen coming but it's something i'm curious to explore further ♥

@viikingwitch: your freya is iconic and you're one of the first lasting dynamics i built. you were also one of the first who welcomed my oc diana and helped me to develop her further. i'm really happy that after all the years that have passed, you're still here and you definitely belong to the longest contacts i have on here ♥

          ten years? impossible. unless, of course, she somehow got frozen for the past decade but then it's unlikely that she woke up alone and still in transition. "are you sure about the date?", natalia questioned because she had never heard that it was possible to postpone a transition. it's a fixed number. 24 hours to make a decision, knowingly or unknowingly. but if the 24 hours are over and you haven't consumed any blood, then it's over for real.

          it made natalia ponder if cami truly got turned 10 years ago or if she had woken up from whatever slumber she had gotten into and then was turned. it didn't make any sense either way.

          nonetheless, the brunette quickly followed the disoriented blonde as she began walking. "i can understand that you're hungry but you have to wait until we find klaus until you can eat something. trust me, it's better that way." because if she consumes blood now (which is what her body truly craves) then the decision is final and natalia doesn't know if that's something she even wanted.

          natalia's gaze followed damon's eyes as he searched for his relatives who had been organizing him an invitation to the ball. however, she quickly started to frown after he told her who his relatives were. "i was unaware that the seymours had part of their family emigrate." she knew the couple from seeing them a few times on other occasions. she only knew the names, other details were unknown to natalia. nonetheless, she was surprised that they originated from virginia despite sharing a name with people from old english blood. perhaps it was just a sideline.

         the brunette woman offered a smile as damon salvatore placed a kiss on the back of her hand. "you flatter me," she stated with the smile still etched upon her lips. she rarely had direct one-on-one conversations during balls. her conversation at such events was mostly limited to group conversations or the normal standard conversations during a dance.

         "now you have made me curious – what kind of hunting are you speaking of if it's such an exclusive event to attend? do you hunt rare animals?" natalia did not expect to speak to another vampire. she very rarely had anything to do with vampires and avoided them which is also why she didn't suspect interacting with one right now.

         "the marquess of ripon does not invite everyone to his hunting parties. as far as i know, excellent riding skills are required, among other things." natalia explained as she led the way to the host. || @broknfeed

—- Damon slightly tilted his head, unable to answer as quick as he thought he could to her first question. He did not have any family in London. They all resided in the United States. He, however, could create a false relative by compulsion. He offers an affiliative smile, “They’ve hailed from the states a year ago. They do not have quite the time here. I believe my cousin from Virginia is here along with her husband.” His head turning slightly to scan the crowded ball room. He was indeed searching. But, searching for a couple who would play as his family. Setting his eyes on a blonde woman in a forest green dress accompanied by a tall man wearing a black vest, high waisted pants, and cravat tie that matched the color of his partner. “Oh, there they are.” He points out, “Right over there.”

Turning back to face the woman, “please, pleasure is all mine.” He tell her, taking her hand and giving her hand a small kiss before letting it softly go back on her side. Letting her speak of whose ball it was and the reasoning for it. Truth be told, Damon was here to experience a ball in the United Kingdom. He’s heard nothing but amazing experiences he wished to be part of. Now, he was here. In an exclusive invite-only ball for hunting.

“Why of course I enjoy hunting. However, the hunting I am accustomed to is only practiced in the states, in afraid” he explains, unknowingly to the crowd of individuals, he spoke of human hunting for their blood. “It’s an exclusive invite-only sport.” He adds before giving her a smile, “why, of course. Very generous of you. Lead the way?”

@thatslayer requested a starter from diana

       "are you sure it's recommended to drink that? it smells … spicy." not something anyone would want to drink voluntarily, right? then again there are a lot of people in here who seem to enjoy this stuff. or did everyone else has gotten something different to drink?

       "it feels like its smell is burning my nose." diana wasn't entirely convinced by this suggestion of hers or if it was a good idea to just give it a try.
