“I haven’t changed all my ways.” He began with a slight chuckle. “With the state of the town these days, I don’t blame you. I just hope that something changes. And I have a feeling I’m gonna have to get involved in something before too long.” He didn’t want to, but he felt it was only fair for being a part of the community for so long. “No kidding. I’m not sure if anything can stop its inevitable demise. But for the time being, we have to at least try to slow it down. Whatever’s got it out for us, it seems adamant on leaving nobody left behind.”

“I’m glad, I loved so many of them and there is truly no one out there like you. I’d hate for them to be lost.”It was days like this she wished she could leave her vampirism behind and age--she could be human and age with him. Leave forever behind for a moment to have that back. “I believe we both will, I tried so hard to let this town do what it wanted. I never wanted to get caught up in a mess that was no my own. You might be what they need, most magic users are so young and unguided--they could use someone like you.” She wasn’t sure what will happen, but it was something she feared more and more every day. “I fear this will end how many things do--in a war. A war we cannot stop, a war we are not ready for, and a war that make take many of us with it. Jonas, I don’t know if I ever said it or had reason to, but this--this terrifies me.”

“You would have turned everybody’s heads and gotten their attention if you had gone.” Jonas relished in the moment, easily finding the solid moment with Eleora to be quite a throwback, something he could only rely back on to his memories. “It’s even a wonder the town survived for 100 years, you know? And to think…back then…it was a completely different world.”

@eleorasenigma

“You’re too sweet to me, Jonas.” She blushed, “But I would rather be here with you and not caught up in the social politics.My nights with you are always better.” Even if time aged him she couldn’t help still seeing the young man she loved more than anyone else. It was night’s like this she wished she could age with him. “I didn’t think a place like this ever could. It was a different world,  a crueler world and it’s strange to think that it still exists. I think that’s what scares me about this place--it feels like its time is running out.”

As she gestured to follow her, Tommy easily found himself sliding through the rows, happy to see that somebody could thrive in the same space he was in. “You know, that’s gonna be rad.” He uttered, still glancing upon the boxes and boxes of music, happy to just be in there for the moment. As he listened to her words, a soft chuckle finally came across his face. “I uh… I’m actually the new owner. Heard this place needed it, and hell, I couldn’t say no. Music is my jam and my jelly.” While he finally met up entirely with her, he extended his hand out. “I’m Tommy Burns. And I think I’m going to love it here.”

“Oh hell yeah, plus it might draw in more people. I wanted to suggest an open mic or karaoke night, but I haven’t seen the manager who hired me in weeks.  So doubt he’d do anything. I thought about doing it anyway, but I rather no piss off the owner.” She laughed as she lead him to her favorite spot, turning on a heel to face him, in time to catch his introduction. “Mentally he mouth dropped, oh God, she hoped she hadn’t ruined this. “You’re the new owner, oh man--it’s nice to meet you! Yeah, no we so did. I’m really glad you said yes.” She took his hand for a firm handshake, if she’d known who he was she would have made more of an effort to be far more formal. “It’s nice to meet you, Mr. Burns. I’m Eleora Montgomery and I’m so glad you’re here. And I’m glad the new owner has good taste too.”

While it didn’t take long to find the store itself, the outside perhaps being a little more worn down than he would have liked (that was going to soon change if he had any say), the inside reeked of fresh cds, vinyl, and even the more rare cassettes, something he was maybe a bit too eager about coming back in style. Finding the only woman in the store, Tommy easily glanced through the aisles of music, happy to be in a place that was actually familiar to him before going up towards the stranger with a brief smirk. “Could you show me your 70′s and 80′s vinyl collection? I’ve gotta say I’ve always been a sucker, and I might as well start camping out in that section if I’m gonna be spending a majority of my time here. I’m sure people won’t mind the music history lessons right?”

@eleorasenigma

Eleora could never sit still, when the store was empty she would browse the vinyls in search of a treasure to put on while she dusted and straighten up the store. It was her favorite part of the day, it always took her back to a time she almost missed. She wasn’t anyone she was proud of, but she never lived more than she did during the summers of free love of the seventies that faded to the warmth of the eighties. Lately she’d been nostalgic for the nineties R&B and was still looking for something that peaked her mood when a customer walked up. A smile dawned on her lips as he spoke. “Oh hell yeah, you’re speaking my language. That’s what I usually keep on the speakers, but the morning guy decided he was feeling the nineties today, but I live in glory of those eras. A history lesson? Honestly, they’d love it. Most we get in here are kids who never heard of half the bands or the people who grew up with it.” She turned, motioning him to follow her. “Are you a new hire here? Its cool if you’re  just looking to hang, but we definitely could use a few more people on staff.”

“Am I the only one who thought ugly sweaters were a good idea for this?” Adorned in his Game of Thrones sweater, Seth took another sip of whatever the bartender had given him, already feeling the effects.

[eleorasenigma]

“I think ugly is a little harsh for one of the greatest sweaters I’ve ever seen.” She laughed, a few drinks deep, but not quite feeling it yet. “But no, I’ve seen a few awful ones. I just decided to go with comfy over creative.” A simple red holiday dress, something breathable for when she got drunk enough to dance. “I don’t think we’ve met, I’m  Eleora.”

“Whenever you start off with a question such as that, I know it’s going to be an interesting conversation.” He chuckled, taking a moment to think it over. “I don’t think I’ve ever thought about it in such a way, but yes. Once they leave and no longer need you, it creates an empty space which then needs to be refilled. In a way, it might be where the misshapen feeling comes from.”

“its me dad, i feel like anything I say is going to lead to something interesting.” she poked back as she looked to him, mulling over his words as they fell to her. This had been on her mind lately, she knew she would feel better with it free, but it was a lot to ask even of him. Especially of him. “I’m not trying to go into a therapy session with you, I swear, but you’ve been alive longer than I have so I think you’d get it.” She sighs, still picking at her nails. “I thought it was after Ethan, we were a whorl wind and I so badly wanted to be what he needed I feel wrong now. Like I don’t know who I am, but I don’t think I ever knew. I was whoever the person who cared for me needed and now--I don’t know who I am.” 

[eleorasenigma]

“I’m going to ask you something serious and I want you to be honest, okay? Do you think you change to fit the mold people need you to? And when they stop needing you, you just--feel misshapen and weird?”

“Oh, so you’ve dressed like this before? I mean, it’s definitely a look. But maybe one reserved for special occasions like this.”

“Oh yeah, I lived in France when these were the height of fashion--shit, sorry, I forget people usually aren’t so casual about being a vampire. I kind of forget where I am sometimes, but yeah--been a few hundred years, but man I loved it.”

[adelaidehollingsworth-blog]

“I’m just gonna pretend that I do recognize who you are and we can skip that whole awkward part of the conversation.”

[eleorasenigma]

“That’s totally fair, I just wanted an excuse to dress like this again. There are few things I miss from the past, but something about an outrageously ruffled dress that makes you nostalgic.”

“He might be my brother, but that doesn’t give him the right to threaten you like that. No, I wouldn’t pick him. Hopefully, we can figure out a way to get his humanity back on and we won’t need to worry about him killing anyone.”

“I had a feeling you wouldn’t.” She smiled a little too pridefully, but it felt out of place given everything. “I don’t know what it’ll take, but doesn’t Emma have hers off too? This could be really bad.” Eleora hesitated for a moment as the  thoughts swirled, not sure if she should even  say it, but she wasn’t about to protect Russell. “He already did.” She pulled herself up, she didn’t want to upset him, but maybe it would be best coming from her. “That Summers girl, he was that girl..Caterina Mazzoni? That was Russell and I think he’s only getting started.”

[eleorasenigma]

“If you had to choose, would you pick Russell over me? Its not hypothetical, he threatened to kill me while I was in that other body and I told him that’d you’d totally kill him over it. He told me I was full of shit, but would you pick him over me? I totally won’t be mad.”

“That’s a joke, right? Does it look like I care?” Russell chuckled back as he looked over the blonde. His eyes easily rolled as if he were trying to show any amount of emotion towards her. “Look little El, just because we’re related doesn’t mean shit. Life is gonna fuck you over anyways, might as well try to make it your bitch. And if that means stepping on everybody around you, then so be it.” He thought he was dropping truths all around him. “You know, it’s funny, because this might actually be the perfect opportunity to see what happens if somebody dies out of their body, huh?” A plan began to formulate. “They smell disgusting, and frankly they should go overpopulate the oceans again.”

“Turning off your humanity not only makes you a dick, but stupid too? Of course it was a joke. Try not to be so dense, you can’t be mean and dumb. Its unbecoming, if you really want to fuck over people you have to at least charm them. You’re a shitty vampire if you think differently.” She raised an eye brow at him before letting her eyes roll. She sighed before sitting up. “Uncle Russ, my entire life has been a shit storm, please save it for someone who isn’t over four hundred and sixty and doesn’t have abandonment issues, okay?”  She frowned with thought, more so weighing it mostly because it was an interesting concept, but she knew exactly what would follow. “That would be interesting and then we can compare notes after Ben rips your throat out for murdering his daughter. We’d have really have our answer, wouldn’t we? Oh and think of Emma, how quickly she’d murder Ben and so many other people over losing you? The hunters would have a field day taking her down, that’s if they kill her too. But hey, why not go a head and kill me. Its not like you are able to care right now anyway, kill me worse thing for you is you die too.”

“That’s an interesting theory. Come to think of it, I hadn’t thought about it. But, seeing as not just supernaturals were affected, maybe it was just the whole town? Or the people within a certain limit?” Jonas uttered, trying to figure anything and everything out, as if he could try and solve the problem. “Wait…what did you say your name was?” Jonas was focused on his own thoughts that he thought he heard her misspeak, and he didn’t want to be wrong about this. “No, I’m certainly not Dean. I’m Jonas. Oberlin. Dr. Jonas Oberlin. I’m a therapist.”

“If I know this town, if something goes wrong its going to take all of us down with it. I had some hope maybe we’d get lucky , but no. Magic never works that way.” She sighed, she was no witch, but she’d be around it enough to understand a little. She giggled as he asked her to repeat her name. “I know I don’t look it, but I’m Eleora Montgomery--on the inside anyway.” Her heart fled into her throat at the mention of his name. There was a ting of doubt, but the way her soul seemed to ache, it had to be her Jonas.  “Jonas Oberlin--the last time I heard that name I was in college and he was a handsome psychology student. Tell me its the same Jonas I know.”

“Look, I don’t give two shits about what you are or aren’t actually.” Russell commented back, not really paying much attention to the girl wearing the blonde’s body. “I’m sure I can cause plenty of problems. For starters—” Russell pushed forward, feeling an extension of his jaw, as his canines budged forward, and through a deepening growl, he added, “Let me just take a bite out of you, huh? One little knick and it’s good-bye Eleora.” He pulled back slightly, not sure if he was committed enough at the moment, but at the next comment, a barked laugh came back. “Fuck the merpeople. They should just go back to the ocean, where they belong.”

“Just cause you turned off your humanity doesn’t mean you gotta be a dick to me. I thought I was your favorite relative, I’m hurt--not really, but don’t be rude.” She rolled her eyes, she knew he’d never be so cold unless she really pissed him off, but she’d not done anything cold shoulder worthy so deductions say--he turned off the humanity. “Oh thats fun, but don’t be dumb. Your bite wouldn’t kill me in this body and much as I’d love a good dog fight, I’m not feeling it.”  She shrugged, she thinks this chick is a werewolf. She didn’t bother to ask or check--too much work for her. Plus it sounds painful. “They’re just entitled tuna, but seriously-- be careful, you keep acting like a dick and people might mistake you for one. Nothing is worse than that.”

He had yet to hear from Eleora, worried something might have happened over the last week. Ben didn’t know if she’d be home, but it was the first place he thought to look. If she wasn’t, he’d go to her place of work next. His hand knocked on the door, using his hearing to listen for any sound from within her place.

@eleorasenigma

Eleora bolted back to her place when she realized she not only was in a stranger’s apartment, but a stranger’s body as well. To her luck, she found her own body and its new resident inside the apartment. After a long, confused conversation the two traded phones and anything else, before parting ways. She might not be herself, she was home. So, she tried to play it normal--this wasnt the worst thing Okay is did suck, like a lot, but hey at least it was a werewolf. But when someone knocked on the door she could only panic a little. Were they expecting her or this blonde. Either way, she decided to go with it.She hurried to the door, she looked out the peep hole. not that helped. She slowly opened the door and peeked out. “Hi,” she greeted the man with a kind smile. “Who are you and who is the body?”

At the voice, Jonas found himself turning, though the name left him puzzled for a moment, before he remembered his conversation with Warren. He was technically Dean, despite not actually being him. That didn’t explain the young woman if she had switched too, but he didn’t recognize her or her name. “Uhm—” She started, though wasn’t sure what to say. “Have you not switched bodies?” He asked curiously, knowing that it wasn’t just him who had changed. “Because I’m not Dean.”

“Oh shit,” she groaned, as she stepped closer to the young man when the news came to her. She had hoped that maybe just maybe, but no. Literally everyone got screwed, but maybe this could be a good thing. Maybe he knew something. Right now, she’d take anything.  “No, I’m definitely not me. I figured since you--he’s very much a normal human maybe he’d been spared. Well, fuck.” She shook her head as she looked to the face of her friend and the mind of someone who seemed to spark a memory she couldn’t quite place. “Who are you? You’re not Dean, but you sound familiar. Have we met? Name’s Eleora Montgomery, mind not body.”
