Why not share our intel? We're all working towards the same ends. Unless and until there may be doubts among us, that is. Based on the first round of kills, I see no reason to suspect either of you.

Regardless, accusations against vampires and wolves alike have already started to fly unfettered. We need to be a united front.

There is already talk of vampires being involved.

And mostly, my team just wants to win. Also

@ caroline

Kai is on my team. But so is Katherine, who's apparently back.

The werewolves don't remember they've done it so there is no real use in arguing "oh I couldn't have done this," for the record. A vampire probably is involved, based on odds, but they won't know they've done it. WE wouldn't know we've done it unless we know we've been given another task.

Which I haven't.

Also I'm ignoring what you said about Kai and Katherine. I'm not in the mood.

I'm aware none of us would remember. However, the methods of the killings are quite personal, it seems, so that leads me to believe there's some agency behind the choosing of victims. In that respect, I don't see the impetus from either of you.

Regardless.

( kill bill sirens )

I am in the mood, Stefan. See that they keep away from each other or perhaps there will be another two deaths.

I also wasn't given... another task.

Wait, we could be responsible for this.

From:

interpersonally

You want me to keep Kai and Katherine away from one another?

From:

poppycock

( sighing heavily at stefan's morality about killing people + why does he have to explain everything ) Two sociopaths who would no doubt find a few common goals between them, perhaps shared against us?

Yes, Stefan, it would behoove us to pay their comings and goings some attention.

[ caroline doesn't point out that the rupert guy does seem kind of rippery or hybridy. :) she is ride or die for them despite this. ]

Be nice.

From:

interpersonally

You're from the future, Klaus, I thought you knew something I didn't.

The last time she was here, Katherine and I had an understanding. I'll establish another one.

From:

poppycock

Good. Don't trust her.

( he doesn't need to be from the future to know that.

caroline said to be nice though )

Is there anyway to reason with Kai?

From:

interpersonally

I know why you shouldn't and remember why we shouldn't. But, Elena isn't here and as far as I know, she was from stealing your family's coffins. Either way. I'll keep my friends close.

I saw him in the bathing area. I was washing my hands, not the point, but he offered a truce. And, if Bonnie or Damon ever ended up here, he basically wants first stab. Still negotiating on a group truce. He's... still Kai.

From:

highlyemotional

[ well he can stab damon, as a treat. ]

Astarion, Armand, Caroline, Katherine, Klaus, Lestat, Louis, Spike, Stefan. Did I miss any of the vampires?

From:

poppycock

( he could say thank you. he won't. it's still a measure of acknowledgement that, instead, he says: ) All right.

I know of no one else. However, I'm more interested in who this person killed and who might've targeted him again. Last year, he was also slaughtered.

Paul?

From:

interpersonally

Good Stab is also a vampire, but, he's also a self-proclaimed cool and funny vampire. So, clearly, he's not a candidate.

From:

highlyemotional

Okay well I think I hate him from just that information

From:

interpersonally

He also uses emoticons. Not emojis.

🔪🔪🔪

Last year no one knew about me but with Kai and Katherine here I assume that isn't going to be my reality anymore.

[ she types and erases "can we kill him" a dozen times before she sets her phone down and screams into a pillow. ]

From:

interpersonally

Kai just brought up your name in the Clubs group chat. As a vampire, not a culprit. If we thought he was playing for anybody but himself.

I'm handling it.

From:

poppycock

( more kill bill sirens ) Wonderful. If we kill him, does he stay dead until the game is complete?

( tempting, if not a longterm solution. longterm, klaus considers a nice, damp cell and a chamber pot. )

What I am is not well-known, for the record. There are very few, outside those from our world, that do. Obviously this may also change.

From:

interpersonally

I don't think so. I think if a Werewolf kills him, yes. But, if we kill him and it acts as a regular death and it gives him a death consequence upon his return, it won't be pretty. And then our truce is up in flames.

You know Kai, does Kai know you?

Obviously. I don't even think Tim knows, actually. But, he does know Katherine and I are vampires.

Also, Klaus, Caroline and I were talking. We want you to stay with us. There are strength in numbers and we should stick together.
