Mystic Falls. A town that seemed to have every magical creature in the world just looking at it. Adventurous, boring, full of doppelgangers, werewolves and vampires. And now an original vampire had arrived and was eyeing the events suspiciously, yet with a certain curiosity. Elena Gilbert in particular had attracted his attention, as she was so different from Katherine or Tatia. However, he had to keep his distance from her for the time being, observing quietly from a distance as he tried to assess the situation on the ground. Even though he loved the grand entrance, he still hesitated in the shadows.

Arriving at the Mystic Grill, the town's place apparently, he observed the people. One person stood out even more than the doppelganger herself. Elijah couldn't help but watch her. What was it that made her so fascinating?

As soon as she left the building, he followed her. You'd think he was a creep and after pretty young girls, but it was something else that drove him. She noticed him, he could literally feel it in the air. A side alley. She stopped and turned to face him. Her scent gave her away. Did she know him? Recognised him? "Why travelling alone, pretty lady?" he grinned softly.

LOCATION: Turbo's Motorway FOR: Marshall Cerulli ( @sparepcrts )

"Yo, Cerulli," Jackie greeted, sidling up next to Marshall on the sidelines of the track. They didn't know if they would classify him as a friend, but game recognises game, and he was one of the best racers around. "You here to watch someone specific or are you casually scoping out the competition like I am?" Okay, they made that sound a lot more premeditated than it was; really, they had simply been bored and decided to swing by. Studying anyone they might be up against in the future was a bonus.

CLOSED for @r3dblccd // jackie winter. open to: m/f/nb 21+.

"i like being here with you like this. you might actually be the best cuddler i've ever met? either that, or i'm sweet on you," she admitted as she snuggled up beside them on the couch and casually sipped on a glass of sweet wine. "if that's lame, i'm fully going to blame the alcohol." she was definitely a bit tipsy, and even if her filter was usually pretty weak, it was nonexistent tonight.

@ashesrebirthed {jackie} is huddled outside when Nat returns...

Nat and Travis had a lot of shit to sort out. That's what they determined when they left the cabin after the botched mess of a Doomcoming (which could have been pretty fun up until that absolute clusterfuck of Lottie-fueled bullshit, all things considered). But everything between them sort of paled in comparison to the fact that they couldn't find Javi. The nights were getting colder and the food was scarce -- so where could he have gone?

As much as she wanted to help Travis, both teens were still raw over the betrayal that had transpired. Sleeping with the enemy, if they wanted to get cute about it. But... there was no time for that now. There were too many broken pieces for Travis for Natalie to pick up -- better they focus on the freshest ones, where the edges were sharpest.

She'd done too much already for this to be the way it went. She broke his dad's goddamn finger off for that ring he gave to Javi. She was the one picking up the gun to feed the team, when food could be found. To lose anyone now felt like failure. It felt like a waste of survival. They were not losing anyone else if they could help it. Least of all, Natalie didn't want to watch herself losing Travis day by day. It was in his eyes, a light receding and dimming.

"We'll go back out first thing in the morning and look for him," she grunted as they returned to the cabin. Her vow was gruff but earnest, all she had to give at this point. The crash site was too cold for an overnight venture now. Better to be back with the team, where Javi may have already returned. But as they approached in the dusky clearing, a sight caught her eye -- huddled in her varsity jacket, Jackie. Sitting on a stump alone in the woods, looking like a fucking pariah. Natalie rolled her eyes, inwardly groaning. The waning light in the cabin window was warm and buttery, so what the hell was this about?

Natalie put a hand on Travis' bicep and urged him to go inside. He did quietly, without question. Then she tromped her dirt-crusted boots towards the place where a fire would have been, for anyone slightly competent in survival skills.

"Hey, c'mon -- the fuck is this about, Jackie? This the next step of your hunger strike, or --?"

10 Books to Add to Your TBR 2024 Edition Part 1

Most years I put out a list of books I greatly enjoyed from the first half of the year some time in June. This year, I decided to do it early because, besides needing a blog for this week, I have read a lot of good books lately, so I’m thinking of making this something I do more than twice a year (and often forget to do in December). The books listed below are not in any order of favoritism, but…

for @detruines where? outside los fantasmas

spencer's ghosted list isn't short, but as someone who has never really had to face the consequences of their actions, it usually doesn't matter. they usually don't plan on seeing them again and if they do? pretend nothing happened. it's an easy strategy. it's one that usually works. but seeing jackie grimaldi for the first time since roleplaying danny phantom and going ghost on her? acting like nothing happened feels a lot more difficult. spencer usually ghosts out of boredom or just because they forget to reply to texts for seven weeks and figure it is what it is, but jackie they ghosted with a purpose. and now, here she is. spencer's jaw tightens and they blink, almost not believing their eyes, "jackie?" their past is right in front of their face and if spencer hadn't missed her so much, they may have just run away. "what the hell are you doing here?" their tone isn't harsh, it's shocked, a few steps short of elated given the context, but not unhappy, "holy shit."

It had been a boring evening, an even more boring night. Nothing exciting had happened, which is why Elijah ended up in a bar and ordered a drink. His eyes scanned the neighbourhood, looking for distraction and a bit of fun. Distraction. He found it in a strawberry blonde woman who caught his attention. Her appearance seemed different from those standing around and, if he wasn't mistaken, he detected a slight odour in her that he hadn't noticed for a while. With his drink in hand, he sauntered over to her at the pool table and leaned against it.

"Isn't it more fun when you play in a game with two people?"

LOCATION: KZR5 Radio Station FOR: Lily Porter ( @mercurysunstar )

"Hey, lil' sis'," Jackie called out as they lowered the passenger side window, offering Lily a wide grin. "Think you're my new good luck charm. I was listening to your show before my race and I crushed it. Not that I need luck, with my sick skills, but I'd like to think it contributed." They leaned over and opened the car door. "Wanna go for breakfast?"

@hopeful-hellion gets a little starter ~ Alastor & Jackie

Alastor has always considered himself to be more of an attentive observer than of an active player. He has always preferred sticking to the sidelines, watching until the right time for him to strike came. Working behind the scene, never in the spotlight. It's a strategy he used to apply in his mortal life and that he has carried down in Hell with him.

So, just how he has done with Sir Pentious, at first he merely observes the new addition to the group from afar. And how could he not? Jackie is the second sinner ever who has thought about trying his hand at redemption. That fact is amusing in itself. He is curious.

Perhaps, that's what eventually pushes the Radio Demon to approach the jackalope one day, while he has some time to spare. They have talked before, even if just briefly and never one-on-one, so he doesn't feel like he has to waste words on pleasantries.

"You know, my dear fellow, I don't think I've ever heard you explaining why you've chosen to give Charlie's redemption program a try," he starts, all but appearing behind the armchair Jackie is currently occupying, without a warning. "I know what led the other two here, but what about you? Do you have any revealing tale to tell?"
