Could he have recognized their chanting? He died swiftly.

[poppycock]

( klaus' fingers hover over the phone's keys. for a rare moment, the enormity of his empathy, care, and desire to comfort her overrules his imperative to categorize, strategize, and protect them all with swift solutions to their many problems. )

Death is not always permanent, particularly in our world. If that was not truly Kai's end, he would know that Caroline is carrying the twins. Why else would he insist on seeing her, other than being a nuisance?

Lie to him. About what you remember. For now, that is the best course of action. If he believes you are not with child, he'll have no reason to come after you, and with no magic, no recourse to discover otherwise.

[highlyemotional]

And when he has his magic back and finds out I lied?

Assuming I can somehow pull off lying in the first place.

[poppycock]

You forget, love. I'm smarter, and stronger, and scarier. Then he'll answer to me.

[highlyemotional]

I've not forgotten actually. I'll lie.

[ she lies. ]

[poppycock]

Good. It will buy us the necessary time to prepare.

[interpersonally]

Do I have to remind you that you got Katherine upstairs at the masquerade? Or, countless other wins in the intervening years. I know you can do this and I'll keep up the charade.

As far as Kai knows, you were kidnapped (if that ever comes out) and I was being reunited with a long lost friend.

Not that I believe Kai to be omnipotent, just a pain in our asses.

ok i will respect the tagging order again after this i promise

[poppycock]

You fooled me once or twice. ( was he a willing participant a few times? sure but who's counting )

it's a group chat, there is only disorder here!

[interpersonally]

You're Caroline Forbes.

[highlyemotional]

👍👍👍

[highlyemotional]

Also I just want to point out Klaus is good with a sword and while I'm not going to say anything, Katherine might.

Just to keep in mind!!!

[interpersonally]

She's keeping a low profile, which is very like her. She's probably reading anything and everything.

If she brings Klaus up as a name, then we'll cross that bridge when we come to it.

I think she has reason not to. She, Damon and I were on the same side before. If she's even from the same time, place, and remembers being here.

Has she reached out to either of you?

[poppycock]

She has ample reason not to, should she like to keep her peace and sanity.

I haven’t heard from her. Though I wouldn’t expect to.

one kiss with stef and caroline gives in to her urges and he edits himself !

[interpersonally]

She'll surface when she wants to. On her own terms. It's probably we may have to bring her in to this just until the end of the game.

But, she does love being the sole survivor, so what do I know.

it was actually bc she said he’s good with his sword (sry)

[poppycock]

Speaking of accusations, what is the consensus?

(gay)

[interpersonally]

Armand's now trailing. It looks to be against Danny Johnson, Saber Tooth, and the Yellowjackets seem to have targeted someone named Devon Rex.

[highlyemotional]

Danny is an easy bet and he doesn't take it personally because a. he was accused last year and b. knows it is a game.

[ plus despite all the murder he seems pretty chill unless you upset his sisterwife so. no hard feelings if you vote for him. ]

But I don't think he would be chosen two years in a row.

Saber Tooth is also an easy bet because he's a jackass and the majority of the 💎 will probably vote for him.

I don't think there is much to Devon but I wouldn't vote against the girls publicly.

[ that is girl code. girls deserve a mental breakdown. ]

Let me check my notes.

[interpersonally]

I'll talk to Lestat. He seems to be on the same page as the girls' soccer team. I'd like to know why. And, Dean rescinded his vote for Armand and put his weight behind them, too.

Probably because Misty reported Castiel's words from the other side. "He's small."

Saber Tooth and Danny Johnson feel like easy votes. Do we vote easy to make it through to the next round?

[highlyemotional]

I think for this round we should split our votes so it doesn't look like we're voting in a block. That will give us some wiggle room later.

If one or the both of you can vote for Saber that would be great. I'm not voting for the uber-creep so I'll vote for Devon.

[interpersonally]

I was leaning toward voting for Devon, especially after finding out he, allegedly, made a pact with the devil.

@ Klaus, how do you feel about voting down Saber?

[poppycock]

I would be interested in hearing what Lestat has to say, regardless.

I'm more inclined towards Devon as a wolf, but I'm curious what we believe is gained by splitting the vote. If we vote with the majority——say, the likes of Saber or Danny——we stand a better chance of not being targeted.

[highlyemotional]

I don't think it makes sense for it to be Danny and he and Saber are too close right now. And I, a woman, am not voting for Saber because I think he might keep a tally and he creeps me out.

[interpersonally]

Don't vote for Saber.

Lestat says that he believes it could be Danny because his devil's pact granted him powers. Powers that could have had a hand in killing that angel.

I can't believe I just typed the words, that angel.

Astarion is also going to vote for Devon, because I spoke to Lestat. I was leaning toward voting for Devon as well.

[poppycock]

( klaus, on the other hand, is taking a short moment to check his frustrations over what seems to him an easier, safer decision. saber or danny; they're both six of one, half a dozen of the other.

one, long breath. )

Devon is the risk. Are you both committed to this?

[interpersonally]

I also agree with Caroline, that keeping Saber out of the proceedings could keep him from murdering for fun. That won't help anything.
