          “  if  you’re  trying  to  sneak  out,  don’t  bother. ”  he’s  sitting  cross-legged  on  the  floor,  playing  a  version  of  temple  run  on  his  phone.  “  i  think  they  spelled  up  a  boundary  to  keep  us  all  inside.  probably  because  of  the  sneaking  out. ”   he  won’t  say  he’s  responsible  for  that  one  but  he’s  not  not  responsible  either.   apparently  that’s  one  way  of  keeping  people  from  heading  out  into  the  elements  like  idiots.

The noise in the bar was certainly loud, and Nancy was having a hard time tuning it out. A migraine was forming in the base of her skull, spots popping in front of her vision as she rubbed at the base of her neck. She wasn’t even old enough to drink..well, maybe she was. After all, a whole lot of time had passed between 2007 and 2030. “Are bars always this loud?”

          “  when  i  think  safe  haven,  dante’s  isn’t  the  place  i’d  decide  on,  but  who  am  i  to  argue  with  the  public  safety  authorities  ?  ”   personally  he’s  amused,  sitting  in  one  of  the  plushy  chairs  surrounding  a  round  table  with  his  combat  boots  propped  atop  it.  if  he’s  wearing  a  plastic  tiara,  it’s  only  because  he  stole  it  from  a  scatterbrained  groom-to-be  somewhere  else  in  the  club.  (  he  finds  irony  in  the  simple  things.  like  a  plastic  crown  for  a  king,  or  the  entrance  to  hell  being  a  sanctuary.  seriously,  you  can’t  make  these  things  up.  )    “  bit  of  an  overreaction  for  a  little  snow.  it’s  not  like  there  are  any  shark  infested  tornados  out  there. ”   though  that,  admittedly,  would  amuse  him  greatly.   THERE’S  NOTHING  LIKE  A  LITTLE  MAIMING  TO  BRIGHTEN  UP  ONE’S  DAY.

“it’s so cold.” as a girl raised in arizona, these cold temperatures were something NEW for dylan. “the snow looks pretty and all,” her first time seeing snow like this, hopefully her last time. “but fuck.”

“so what we’ve been doing--- or, well, TRYING to do, is make sure we have all the supplies accounted for. keeping count of the number of beds, patients, people--- trying to stay on top of things. which is my segway into asking if you want to help.”

          turns  out,  compelling  your  way  through  building  inspections  instead  of  actually  doing  them  might  mean  you’re  not  entirely  up  to  code.  which  is  why,  low  and  behold,  the  lights  keep  flickering  like  an  analog  radio  between  stations.  he’s  already  sent  someone  to  look  at  it  and  make  sure  the  back-up  generators  are  ready  just  in  case  catastrophe  hits,  so  he’s  content  to  nurse  his  drink  and  watch  people  panic.   at  least  panicking  seems  to  make  them  drink  more,  which  is  always  great  for  business.  it’s  just  the  complaining  he’s  sick  and  tired  of.   “  oh  SHUT  UP. ”   his  words  are  drawled  from  behind  the  rim  of  his  glass,  the  bottle  of  bourbon  he’s  been  nursing  all  night  near-empty  as  he  points  in  the  direction  of  the  complainer.   “  the  snow  will  be  the  least  of  your  worries  if  you  don’t  quit  it ”   he  turns,  eyes  sparkling  mischievously  as  he  considers  a  punishment  befitting  the  crime.  “  compelling  them  to  stay  quiet,  or  having  someone  stitch  their  lips  shut  ?  WHAT  SAYS  —  EFFECTIVE,  BUT  MAKE  IT  FUN. ”

           somehow  the  world  had  gone  from  winter  wonderland  to  snowpocalypse  in  a  matter  of  minutes. unfortunately  for  arlo,  who  still  couldn’t  control  his  orbing  despite  parker  tyrell’s  best  attempts  to  help  him,  that  meant  making  it  home  was  out  of  the  question.  with  visibility  near-impossible,  he  was  forced  to  park  his  car  on  the  side  of  the  road  and  check  his  phone  for  the  nearest  safe  shelter.  thankfully  the  hospital  was  only  a  mile  up  the  road  so  he  set  out  on  foot  to  ensure  he’d  make  it  in  one  piece.  by  the  time  he  arrived,  he  was  shivering  —  full  body  shakes  wracking  his  frame  as  he  knocked  on  the  doors  of  the  main  entrance.  “  please  tell  me  this  is  the  right  hospital  or  i  am  seriously  fucked. ”  of  all  the  ways  he  could  die,  hypothermia  was  definitely  not  at  the  top  of  the  list.  seriously,  how  lame  would  that  be  ?

           “  maybe  i  missed  my  calling  in  life  and  all  this  time  i  should  have  been  a  dancer. ”   there’s  nostalgia  in  his  voice  as  he  watches  one  of  the  performers  slide  down  the  pole,  body  contorting  in  ways  that  seem  almost  supernatural  for  a  mere  mortal.   turning  over  to  the  person  nearest  to  him,  he  raises  his  eyebrows  curiously.   “  WHAT  DO  YOU  THINK  ?   honest  opinion.   i  can  take  it. ”

[ofmoldings]

well a BAR was hardly the worst place to get stuck in. or maybe it was. maybe the heat would go out and they’d all freeze to death or some bullshit. their heaters couldn’t have been that powerful. but, at least he had something good to drink. knocking back another drink, he asked. “could you keep it down?” it was hard to take the little peace and quiet when you had so many people being so damn LOUD.

sam: hey..

( a pause, several instances of the ... popping up, and then disappearing, as he writes and then erases messages )

sam: are you safe?

sam: it's not like anyone's really prepared for snow. not this time of year.

          he’s  in  a  lab,  wearing  a  white  coat  that  doesn’t  belong  to  him  —  for  today,  he’s  ...  DANTE  VALEZ  (  at  least  he  nailed  it  right  on  the  head  by  stealing  an  identity  that  somewhat  resembles  his  own  )  and  a  medical  laboratory  specialist.  it  wouldn’t  hurt  too  much  to  see  what  life  he  could’ve  had  had  he  gone  to  school  to  study  chemistry,  right?  except,  it’s  probably  not  the  best  time  for  that,  but  when  has  he  ever  cared  about  timing?  “  care  to  be  a  guinea  pig?  ”  he  raises  an  eyebrow  in  the  direction  of  the  other  once  he  senses  their  presence,  the  glint  in  his  eyes  indicating  that  he’s  only  joking.  kind  of.  then,  adan  looks  back  to  the  microscope,  scrutinizing  his  own  blood  under  the  glass.  no  wonder  his  parents  were  so  OBSESSED  with  this  —  it  is  indeed  fascinating.

@shcrksmile

he rushes into the school after hearing hope had headed towards the place to sit through the snowstorm. a few glances are thrown his way, but he ignores them altogether, too preoccupied with finding his only daughter to care. ( whereas, at another time, he would’ve picked a fight for much less. ) storming through the hallways, klaus is decided to look behind every door until he finds her, and upon finding a girl by her lonesome ( who is clearly not checking the last 10 messages he left on her phone ) he reaches her by the arm and whips her around to start.  “hope, why aren’t you ---” but that isn’t hope and he lets out an annoyed, disappointed grunt. “have you seen hope?”

text; landon & ryan

landon: hey, are you still at school?

landon: the snow picked up so i guess we're all stuck here until it passes, or until it's safe to go outside.

landon: i just wanted to check and make sure you were staying safe.
