[ 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.

[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.

[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?

[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.

[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?

[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.

[highlyemotional]

Paul?

[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.

[highlyemotional]

Okay well I think I hate him from just that information

[interpersonally]

He also uses emoticons. Not emojis.

[highlyemotional]

🔪🔪🔪

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. ]

[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.

[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.

[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.

( on second thought, he's gonna let caroline weigh in first. he would love to hear what she has to say. )

[highlyemotional]

People were killed outside of game last time and they stayed dead the whole game I think.

A couple people died and didn't come back at all.

[ which she was hoping to avoid mentioning but she's bad at secrets. ]

But I don't remember all of it so I'd have to check.

[interpersonally]

I'm guessing that people that died and didn't come back were sent home. Indefinitely.

Find Misty Quigley. She surfaced on the network a week ago. I did a little light reading after waking up. She seems to have kept tabs on everyone.

And, maybe, Koby, but be careful. He likes his murder-board threads.

[poppycock]

I already have sights on Misty. She’s with my team. One of the few level-headed players, so far.

As for Kai, I doubt he knows me, besides by word of mouth. If it comes to it, let’s not hesitate to consider the risk might be worth the reward.

As for our sleeping arrangements, I agree. I see more than a few positives to strength in numbers.

[interpersonally]

Keep her in your sights, then. Maybe befriend her.

Then we'll keep you in our back pocket.

As do we.

[interpersonally]

@ caroline

Kai is hell bent on getting face time with you. I don't know why and he won't tell me. He says it's between him and you.

In the spirit of sticking together, would you want to bring Klaus?

I've reached the end of my limb with him. There is very little good will on either side.

[highlyemotional]

I can talk to him. I'll be fine, he doesn't have magic here.

[poppycock]

( ✔️ read, humbled, etc. )
