@oflaughlins / jo laughlin. ( closed starter. )
at this point, liv figures, she should be used to seeing familiar faces come back from the dead. and she supposes, to an extent, she is. after all, she herself came back from the dead, along with luke, elena, even ric. but when she stumbles upon her elder sister, one who died only moments prior to herself, it’s still a surprise. ( though not an unwelcome one ! ) “ jo! ” there’s a soft laugh in her tone, disbelief colouring the singular syllable as her face breaks into a somewhat teasing smile. " took you long enough. you missed the family reunion. ” the images of kai, of luke wearing kai’s face, spring to mind, but she does her best not to falter. this is a happy moment, she reminds herself. she’s glad that jo didn’t have to see that. not after all kai did to her, all that he took from her. her expression softens just a little; “ welcome back. ”

“I will never understand why it is so hard for men to take orders from women,” she huffed as she plopped down on the cozy little armchair at the cafe. “Do they really think that I went to a job without knowing absolutely anything? Tits and an ass didn’t place me as their boss. My damn brain did.”
@apxstarters
there’s a long hum as she pretends to think about it, before, without even looking up from her phone, she offers a very simple answer of, “ that’s because men are trash. ” with that, she takes a well - timed sip of her tea, and offers an ingenuous smile. “ you gotta learn to ignore them; trust me ---- you’ll have a quieter life. ” her gaze drops back to her phone as she thumbs through the morning’s news reports, before she adds as an afterthought, “ either that, or kick them where it hurts. ”

oh. oh boy. was barbara losing her mind or was she just losing, like, everything else. had she said something? what did she say? “uh…” the girl was PRETTY but fuck, babs hadn’t an idea what she spoke to her. “no, no it’s cool — we’re cool– it was probably something about your hair. LOVE your hair.”
there’s a somewhat incredulous laugh that leaves her lips in response to the situation at large. both of them are, apparently, not paying attention to anything, and despite the million things that could go wrong with that, she’s laughing. “ oh. . . ” another laugh, this one almost taken aback. “ thanks! ” it’s entirely genuine; frankly, she’s thankful for a normal conversation that doesn’t involve body swaps or magic or . . . grindr. “ actually, when i was a kid, i wished i had hair like yours. ” ( not that she would have been able to convince her parents and luke to do it. ---- and they couldn’t not look like TWINS. ) “ is that color natural? ”

She often wondered if it was the sheer P L I G H T of it all, the way she couldn’t quite handle the mention of her dad because regardless of the very desire she had to escape everything she’d done, she couldn’t. Each drop of blood seemed to have stained itself so deep beneath her skin, that she couldn’t quite breathe or in some ways, she wondered if she DESERVED to. “Yeah, I mean I can show you to his office…—-�� as much as she’d been actively avoiding interactions almost altogether, she liked to believe she knew her dad well enough to judge that he’d either be in his office, room…whatever it didn’t matter or he’d likely not be here at all. “ I’m not sure if he’s here though; I’ve not really…kept up with my dad much lately. So if it’s anything important I could give you his number? ” a small smile spreading over her lips, she hoped it managed to emit something other than the fact she wasn’t okay (then again she was starting to think being a heretic really made that a challenge).
she thinks that maybe she hit some kind of nerve, but she can’t entirely fathom what nerve that might be. is ric really that bad of a teacher? she moves on; not her business. she offers a genuine smile, nodding her head as she replies, “ that’d be really great -- if you could. ” she’s pretty ready to let that be that and to start walking but---- she’s talking again, and the key word slips by her at first; focused instead on the point being made. “ oh. . . no, that’s okay. i have his number, he just . . . told me to meet him here. ” an uncertain glance is thrown towards their surroundings as she pulls out her phone to check her texts. mid - way through unlocking her phone, however, the girl’s words finally fully process. “ hold up . . . dad. ” recognition floods her expression, her meeting with alaric forgotten for now. “ you must be josie. ” that is, unless ric has any more children running around the place that he conveniently forgot to mention. “ i met your sister... lizzie. ” she’s hesitating, stalling, until she can stall no longer. “ my name’s liv. i’m. . . your aunt. ”

he catches the keys with one hand, a wide-eyed expression on his features as he laughs. “ wow, maybe i’m finally going to get decent hand-eye coordination. ” imagine a world without tripping over his own feet, or dropping everything he ever picks up !! “ if only our high school P.E teacher could see me now. ” his hopes are dashed as he trips coming back down the stairs, a hand reaching for the railing to break his hall. some habits, they die hard. “ spoke too soon. ” he decrees when he’s back in sight, wallet held high as he gives it a shake. “ now if only they let you pay in monopoly money … ” his shoulder knocks against hers, a lightness in his tone ( in his step ) that’s been absent since his return. “ we’d eat like legends. ” he’s quick to get the door for her, still reveling in the fact that he has keys — he has somewhere to live. the thing they don’t tell you about coming back from the dead is that everything you left behind ? it gets lost in life’s shuffle, especially when your whole family dies shortly after. that, however, he’s vowed not to DWELL on this morning. there’s a laundry list of things he could stress about, including but not limited to kai’s continued existence, a merge between two nieces that will need to be stopped, and the emotional ramifications of coming to terms with your own failures, but this morning’s not about FIXATING on the past. about things he can’t change. this morning’s about pancakes, about stealing his little sister’s hashbrowns when she’s not looking, and eating his body’s weight in confetti cupcake pancakes. ( he’s choosing the good. )
liv offers a somewhat supportive, definitely amused, but mostly unconvinced nod of the head, lips pursed, eyebrows raised, before coming full circle with a roll of her eyes and a fond shake of her head. “ if mister jackson could see you now, he’d be wondering why you’re letting your sister STARVE to death. " it’s dramatic, she knows. in fact, she hadn’t even thought about breakfast before he mentioned it, but she’s nothing if not impatient. she hears the trip, eyes falling closed in quiet resignation as luke declares that he spoke too soon. “ you’re a danger to yourself and others, ” she offers, with a soft, genuine laugh, head shaking fondly once more as their shoulders bump. it’s as he moves towards the door that she truly takes a moment to take in just how different he is today. whether it’s the twin thing or the witch thing or both, she can feel the happiness radiating from him, and its warmth keeps her smile as a staple within her expression. for the first time, she really feels like she has her brother back. ( now, if only they could get him back into his original body, everything would be perfect. ) but for now, she’s more than willing to make do. she’s delayed in her pursuit to follow him, her first step is taken right as he reaches the door, but she steps through with a half - baked curtsey. there’s just a brief hesitation, before she’s pulling the phone from her pocket, and opening her camera. “ okay, hold on. we need to. . . ” she navigates to the video feature, and aims the lens at luke before hitting record. “ okay. here we go, first time locking up the apartment in the new body, let’s go ! ”

“ you , ” you’re new , she doesn’t say . maybe today ISN’T the day we convince strangers we’re crazy , liv . ( but there’s only so many times you can see the same exact faces before new ones begin to jump out at you . ) “ are you . . . okay? ” perhaps it doesn’t hold the same concern it would if she were talking to luke , but if you look hard enough , there’s a glimmer of it all the same . speaking of her darling twin brother , there’s a fresh , hot coffee in hand with his name (literally) on it . ( but , if she’s honest , she thinks she might be in danger of smothering him since his face transplant . ) without a second thought , she slips it from the cup holder and places it down a foot or so away from him . “ you look . . . tired . ” perhaps more insulting than caring , liv . “ sorry , i , uh . . . i think it’s vegan or pumpkin spice , or something , but caffeine’s caffeine . ” she doesn’t sit , doesn’t invite herself into his space . in fact , her gaze slips briefly in the direction she had previously been moving . “ ANYWAY . ” she offers a small smile , an attempt at being nice . “ if you don’t want it , toss it . it’d go right in the trash anyway . ”

a brief hesitation as her gaze finds the redhead , eyes squint just slightly as she racks her brain for any recollection . “ sorry , did you . . . did you say something? ” NICE . real nice , liv . a somewhat faux - apologetic expression overtakes her face , along with a smile just a little brighter than her usual . “ sorry , i totally spaced . ”

is there ALWAYS a teenager on hand to greet visitors ? don’t they have classes? it’s a trivial thought , but it’s easier than thinking about the alternative ; the genuine concern for lizzie , after their latest bizarre interaction . “ hey , excuse me , ” she starts confidently , offering a simple , tight - lipped smile , “ uh ---- sorry , i’m here to see alaric . -- saltzman . ” she’s fairly sure she will never refer to him as DR SALTZMAN . ( even if her life depends on it . ) “ d’you think you could point me in the right direction? ”

@gilbertgrief / elena gilbert . ( closed. )
as soon as the door is opened in her face, the expression she offers is… expectant. ( much like mrs. salvatore herself. ) eyebrows raised towards her hairline, neck extended just slightly as though she is anticipating an explanation before she asks for one. after a moment, she offers a soft smile; a silent promise that, despite what one might call a resting bitch face, she’s here in good spirit. “ i got here as fast as i could, ” she offers as she steps past elena into her home. it’s a lie, and she doesn’t mind if elena knows it. it just seems like the kind of thing you’re supposed to say. “ you said it was important. what’s up? ”

boundedbydcrkness / ryan clarke .
He’d been L O S T in his own version of a booze-induced coma for days now but that certainly didn’t mean he’d ever want his neighbors or any passer-by to see all the bottles and jump to their own conclusions; maybe he was too narcissistic for that (or it just wouldn’t get him far being known as an alcoholic). “I had a few friends over…” And with that, he gave a defensive look. “AND YES. I DO have those before you ask.”
liv is now regretting what she expected to be an innocent glance in his direction . she has coffee and donuts in one hand , a payback for luke buying their last breakfast ; her other hand empty , �� searching . ( searching for when , exactly , she DID ask . ) she doesn’t appreciate the ASSUMPTION . “ good for you , ” she replies , with no attempt to hold back her confusion , nor her petulance . her gaze scans the surrounding area ; a little more closely this time , as she adds , “ either THAT , or you’re an alcoholic . congrats . ”

there’s a lot that goes unsaid, but he likes to think that he knows his sister well enough to have a general idea where her thoughts are. no matter the form he takes, even if it’s not his own, anything’s an improvement over the one he wore before. he was a prisoner in his own body, forced to relive his trauma time and again with every glimpse of his own reflection. so was liv, yet for him she’d done her best to look past it and accept him regardless. ( he’d never forget that. ) he loves her so much, is quick to return her embrace with a smile of relief. they aren’t gooey people, not really, but he appreciates the attempt. “ hey, maybe. i bet the dating pool’s gotten a little bigger since the mid-2000′s. ” gone are the days where you cruise for gays at the gym, or tearfully swipe through a sea of heterosexuals trying to find a needle in a haystack. the world is brighter now. “ yeah, that’s what i thought. ” he chuckles, that wry smile on his face as he pulls back. “ i’ll grab my coat. ”
she doesn’t say it , but she’s VERY glad that he keeps his mouth shut . she’d hate to have to smack that brand new face this early . before they part , she offers one last squeeze , and then proceeds to immediately brush the whole ordeal under the rug . ( she’ll deal with the post - trauma later . as will he , she’s sure . ) she’s been on alert since he came back , and while he no longer wears kai’s face , she doesn’t think it’ll stop JUST yet . they don’t call it post traumatic stress for nothing , right ? she loves him TOO MUCH to let him deal with that alone . another laugh leaves her as she moves away , nodding her agreement . “ it definitely has . lucky for YOU , we’re in , like , the gay capital of america , so . . . ” she shoots him an amused glance , almost playful . ( almost the way they were at twenty - one . ) “ go wild . ” her eyes roll and her nose scrunches in faux - distaste as he insinuates that she’s predictable . “ make sure to get your WALLET too , ” she calls , with a lilt of quietly bitchy , heavy ‘ i’m your little sister and you love me ’ energy . her own jacket is pulled on easily , and his keys collected from the kitchen counter with one smooth swipe as she tosses them in his direction . “ it’s about time we christen those , too . ”

he does, in fact, feel better. it’s strange to be clean-shaven again, to not be trying his best to obscure his face and make it as unrecognizable as possible, but he can’t ignore the weight that’s been lifted from his shoulders. “ definitely. ” he smiles; a genuine one, not twisted in sadness, or despair, like so many have been lately. “ i might actually shave now. well, maybe. i got kind of used to the scruff. ” he scrubs his palm over his chin, a chuckle accompanying his words. “ speaking of breakfast — let’s get those fancy bagels; the ones with the flavored cream cheese. ” he could go for a cinnamon raisin bagel right about now, with some strawberry flavored cream cheese. “ my treat. ”
just his simple , one - word response is enough to lift a weight from liv’s own shoulders . her smile reaches her eyes for the first time . she feels a warmth flood through her as she releases a breath she had held tight in her chest . a laugh , almost surprised , definitely relieved , leaves her in response to his beard comment . “ i liked the scruff , ” she echoes coolly , as though they’re not talking about the face of their murderer . “ but i’d bet you’re gonna get ALL the guys with this new face . ---- maybe even more than your first one . ” she lets her joke sit in the air between them for a moment , before she crosses the space to wrap her arms around him tightly . she relishes in the feeling ; the first time she has felt no reservations about this since his resurrection . the embrace is fleeting , however , as she pulls away and fixes her hair , as if nothing ever happened . “ i’m not gonna turn down free food , so . . . breakfast sounds GOOD . ”

“ i feel a little bad being happy, considering this guy was essentially comatose when i hitched a ride … but i’m so happy to look like — well, less like a homicidal maniac. ”
there’s an intake of breath as she adjusts . her expression is carefully formed into neutral ; she does not allow for a moment of uncertainty to flicker across her features . as she exhales , a soft smile appears in the wake of the previous blankness . “ feel better? ” it’s genuine , and her smile only continues to grow as she realises she can look at him and there are no flashbacks , of any kind . ( not even GOOD memories they shared while he had his OWN body . ) “ ‘cause i definitely feel better looking at that , ” a vague gesture in the direction of his face , “ over breakfast . ”

ofaxnoblefacade / au ! elijah mikaelson .
Some I N C O N G R U I T Y to the very contradiction of the way he was certain he appeared and the woman’s question, centuries ago perhaps she would’ve been met with a more..STOIC version of who he was: someone untainted by the events that would pass later on but alas what had come to pass for the once N O B L E Original, no longer left him with a requirement of moral obligation or in turn a kindness unmatched by any of his family; he could hardly tell you were any resided anymore. Always & Forever truly ended the day he tore his heart from his brother’s chest. His because Niklaus’ death felt like the last day it had beaten at all. The last moment of love for the brother he cared for so deeply and then it STOPPED. “If I share the appearance of someone YOU believe would spend their time in Motel’s…then I am gravely offended.” he hummed in what could only be conceived as amusement. “However in my vast knowledge of the City,” something he only knew in brief passing mind you and it certainly depended on how different the City happened to be from the one he knew. “..I do recall a small motel a few streets that way…-granted I could be mistaken, the memory isn’t quite as reliable as you often want it to be.” A moment to point in the general direction, though it seemed less helpful by the minute.
there’s a quiet moment of debate as she questions whether she’s amused or OFFENDED by the comment. her gaze falling downward, and the corners of her mouth quirking upwards in a smile suggest she has chosen amused. that, of course, is subject to change. “ i kinda thought you shared the appearance of someone who might... help out a girl in need, ” she offers in a tone that is fairly nonchalant, but exploratory all the same. can he help her? WILL HE? she listens carefully to his vast knowledge, arms crossed over her chest so that she can grasp her upper arms ; both a safety measure and an effort to keep out the cold. her gaze follows his gesture in the correct direction, before gliding back towards his face, unable to keep her expression from portraying just how dubious she’s feeling about his vast knowledge. “ that’s . . . helpful, ” she lies, her tone doing her no favours at all. another uncertain glance is thrown in the direction in question as she purses her lips. “ thank you, ” she says, quickly, as though it has only just occurred to her. crystal blues find him once more as an afterthought. she knows she is supposed to walk away at this point, but for some reason ( perhaps that he seems out of place here. ) she feels... almost compelled to stay just a little longer. ( maybe it’s the properness that seems to exude from him. ) “ so, uh . . . does your vast knowledge of the city include someplace a girl could eat? ”

She didn’t really care for others, unless there was something in it for her, so she did come across as stuck up at the best of times. “I might have a phone, but I will let you use it, if you take me to the motel if you find it”
if she’s honest, she had been expecting a lot more of a fight, or at LEAST a more difficult request than that, based on the stranger’s general aura alone. “ easy, done. ” as much as liv doesn’t think she’ll appreciate the extra time spent with ms. stranger danger, it brings a flicker of amusement to her features as she notes that, she could, quite easily, cloak herself and lose her once she has the information she needs. one hand enters the space between them expectantly, palm up, as she awaits the phone; an innocent grin upon her face. “ a deal’s a deal, right? ”

addictingvictories / au ! victoria villalobos .
she doesn’t have a clue on why or how she ended up at san francisco. the last thing she remembers is calling it a night at the library shift and going to her apartment. victoria rarely freaked out, not even when she was barely hitting puberty and seeing the blood trails that lead to the basement. didn’t mean this didn’t put her in a state of alert. she didn’t have any kind of addiction, however she seemed to rely a lot on coffee and tea– and so the cup in her hand. ( coffe this time– she felt like she hasn’t slep in a while. ) “i don’t but–” her phone is working, that’s good. it says there is one three blocks from here. didn’t seem far away. she turns to look at the blonde, it’s almost like she can recognize the signs. maybe she had been in a similar state some time ago– “no offense, but it seems like you need this more than i do.i promise i haven’t taken a single sip.”
there’s an audible sigh of relief as the stranger chooses to stay and help, rather than dismiss her out of hand. “ thanks, ” is murmured quietly, before she falls silent to allow her to do -- whatever it is she’s planning to do with, what liv assumes is her phone. not one she has seen before, but close enough, she figures. in the meantime, her gaze scans their surroundings, lungs take in the city air, and exhales the knot of anxiety in her stomach. there’s no need for it, she reminds herself, just a hair’s breadth from gently. her shoulders roll backwards, working out the kinks caused by being curled into a bus seat for the past -- nine hours? twelve? frankly, she has no idea. she’s almost immediately distracted by the voice coming from the stranger. eyebrow quirks upwards as she prefaces with no offence. “ you do know, people who say that almost ALWAYS say something totally offensive right after. ” after just a brief pause, the corners of her lips curl upwards ( a hint, perhaps, that she is joking. ) and she reaches out to take the coffee. “ thanks. uh . . . any luck? ”

wrckhvck / au ! damon salvatore .
it’s been almost two decades since he last saw her. give or take, so it shouldn’t be too much of a surprise that he doesn’t recognize her. not at first, not even after he’s made three failed calls on her phone and handed it back. the familiarity is strange but mystic falls is a small town; everyone knows everyone, so really he isn’t that caught off guard by it. “ oh, i don’t. give me a bag of cheetos any day. ” he smirks. rolling his shoulders. “ – but they’re my daughter’s favorite. she gets her terrible taste from her mother. god help us when she starts dating. ” a horrifying feat that he thinks about more and more every day. she’s 12, which means she’s one birthday away from putting the first nail in the coffin of his sanity. HURRAH.
he doesn’t think he’s being weird, not any more so than usual anyway, but his brows knit as she continues to press him. she’s insistent, like a pitbull after a bone. “ alright, chill out. ” he snorts. “ it’s mystic falls. the most exciting thing that’s happened here in the last decade was that live reenactment of TROLLS in the town square last year. ” it was actually a troll attack, some malivore monster after one of the salvatore boarding school kids, but they’d taken it out without too much trouble. “ it’s fine. ” OR it’s some witchy dimension, or a hallucination, in which case – it’s out of his control. ( he’ll survive. he always does. ) “ if you drive, i could go for a lift to mystic falls elementary to get my car. ” AND HOPEFULLY FIGURE OUT HOW THIS HAPPENED.
there’s an attempt, perhaps, at a laugh. mostly just a soft exhale through her nose as damon expresses his disdain for the granola bars in hand. almost immediately, though, the slight smile falls from her face, and her brows pull down over her eyes, which narrow just slightly in his direction. DAUGHTER? since when? he continues to talk, but if liv’s honest, she tunes out. confusion clouds her thoughts, and she isn’t sure whether or not she’s cutting him off when her mouth opens and words tumble out, a healthy shade of astonished. “ wait, wait -- damon, what are you---- did i MISS something? ” a small part of her thinks that it must be possible; that perhaps they had a kid and nobody told her -- not even at their WEDDING. but most of her ( the logical part ) thinks that the idea is crazy. and they have all had their fair share of CRAZY.
“ uh . . . damon, we’re... we’re not in mystic falls, ” it’s careful, but firm. there’s no room for disagreement within her tone. “ we haven’t been for MONTHS. you... know this. ” it’s at that precise moment that it hits her. this is not damon. or, at least, not the damon she knows. ( is that POSSIBLE ? ) there’s a beat of hesitation, teeth find purchase in the skin inside her cheek; just a brief moment, before she clears her throat and tries again. “ that ride you’re looking for? that’s, like, a ninety hour round trip. ---- not that it MATTERS, because... ” he has a daughter. he isn’t a vampire. “----because we can’t leave,” she finishes in a distracted mumble, as though it doesn’t matter, her mind working overtime to figure out the equation here. a hundred questions ricochet from wall to wall, but none fall from her lips for a long moment. she offers just a soft sigh, before attempting to start at the beginning. “ you... know who I am... right? ”
