❝ Are you, I wouldn't know. It was a long time ago I last met you ❞ He replied with a nod. Maybe she was still just a baby, or a toddler ❝ All us old vampires ? I don't think we all hate changes, we are only used to what was before. Well, Klaus has never really liked much of the changes. You should have seen him back in the days. Didn't think what I had done to the city was good ❞ He was at least more modern than some of The Mikaelson siblings ❝ What interior design elements did you try to add ? ❞ There was he not old fashioned. Although it was some things he held close to his heart ❝ We will see what happens. For now am I going to keep a low profile, to study the city's changes. I will not leave again. Hopefully my family with Val will come to the city soon. I wrote to her to let her know it is safe to come. Despite us no longer being married, I still care much about her and our children ❞ Marcel would always care about them all. They were his family. He wouldn't forget about them if he found Rebekah. Family did mean everything to him, and he had bad experience from it in the past. Didn't want his children to feel the same or go through similar ❝ I am certain you can get them here as well, Vi. Nah, thank you. He might find out sooner or later ❞

[hybridprincessvi]

"Maybe, but I perfected my pout before I was even out of diapers," she declared confidently. She'd had her father wrapped around her finger since day one. "Don't get daddy started talking about the old days. He'll never shut up. I thought Stefan Salvatore being back in town he would have enough material to entertain everyone for a few months at least. Now that you're here, it'll be years of storytelling." Of course, there were lots of stories to tell when you were over a thousand years old. "Some more modern items. I thought the idea of the vacuum cleaner in the walls was brilliant and such a time saver. And some of the more interesting modern furniture. But apparently he had enough vintage furniture to fill a few hundred antique stores." She'd managed to get her room appropriately princess-like though. "Well with the new college here, your kids could always attend there and not have to hide who they are," Violet reminded him. Hiding magic was more annoying and inconvenient than she liked to admit. "But they won't be as good. I'll let daddy know you're here later. I'm sure he'll extend an invitation for dinner or something."

[kadygerard]

She'd been told she was in New Orleans. So that much she knew, but she didn't know where at in New Orleans or how to get around in the city even. Or where to go. “Well I gather that it's not there anymore. Mystic Falls, I mean. Though, I wonder if it's back now that we're all here.” She probably wasn't making any sense and she should do better to try to not sound crazy. “My mom used to live in New Orleans,” she offered. “And my dad might still be here. And I have uncles that might still be here. I don't know if the Mikaelsons would have stayed here or not.”

[hybridprincessvi]

That sounded confusing, the whole maybe a town being back or not. Violet wasn't sure what to make of it. But she did perk up at the mention of her last name. "Well of course they're still here. I'm a Mikaelson after all. I mean my uncles come and go sometimes, but I see them all the time. And my cousins of course. Daddy just gave our old home over for the new Salvatore-Greene University, so people may not know where us Mikaelsons congregate now."

[kadygerard]

“I'm not drunk at all,” Kadynce said, almost wishing that she was drunk and that this was just a really messed up dream. The drink the other person was talking about sounded dangerous, but delicious. If she ever figured out what was going on and if she was settled here then she would have to try the drink. “I don't really know how to explain what's going on. I've spent all my life in a time pocket where I couldn't go anywhere but Mystic Falls, and now I'm in a strange city.” She didn't know if the other girl was listening, but just saying it out loud made her feel a little better.

[hybridprincessvi]

Violet looked at the other with further confusion. She had assumed if the other was so confused or something, it was because she had drunk too much or whatever, not all this stuff she was saying. She may not know what the other was talking about, but something stuck out to her. "Mystic Falls? I've heard of that place. My dad and his family talk about it sometimes. They lived there for a while and all this stuff happened. But you're in New Orleans now."

[mysstiicall]

"Well not everyone needs to be dressed like they are going down the fashion runway," he pointed out. It wasn't like it ditched a girl for her clothes. River turned and started to walk arm in arm with her. "I don't know, people talking about the way to city used to be, or claiming they used to be in Mystic Falls and don't know how they got here," he said. "It's werid," he admitted. He shrugged. "Nah. I think they are good. I know they were still looking for a good werewolf tutor person, but I think they found someone on their 'holiday.' It's pretty much all good to go."

[hybridprincessvi]

"But they should at least be in something other than pajamas in public," she argued. Maybe they didn't need to be in expensive clothes, but at least take pride in your appearance. That was her opinion. "Oh, you met one of those too? Yeah that was strange. Didn't our dads used to live there ages ago? Maybe we should ask them," Violet suggested. Her father was an ancient vampire after all and Stefan Salvatore used to be a vampire. They had a lot more knowledge about things. "Good for them. Though I still think we should have some sort of grand gala to commemorate the school opening." Mostly she wanted to dress up even more than usual.

[thejohnlogan]

He smiled and nodded ❝ Yes ❞ It was attractive when people knew they looked good. Nathaniel smiled ❝ You are. You do ? If I had social medias I'd follow you there, without a doubt. But I deleted them and haven't got back to them. Maybe I should now ❞ He could go under a fake name, or just call himself Nate. Many people were named that. His family could not know it was him, right ? What if they were already here, and he didn't know, or anyone else he never met ❝ Is he- who is your father ? ❞ He asked, curious to hear who he was ❝ Do you design clothes or more things ? Oh, iPads are fun to create designs on. It has gotten better over the years, those apps. Coloring is a lot better on them, must I admit. Easier to blend and remove your mistakes in the different layers. ❞ He would never stop loving to sketch on a blank paper or a canvas. The sketchbook could he take with him everywhere. He barely had to look up at her when he sketched her face, didn't notice she fluffed her hair or made sure the light hit her just right. Nate remembered faces, looked at every detail in their face before the pencil's lines danced across the blank paper ❝ Thank you. Nah, I doubt it . It was easy to capture your beauty on a piece of paper. Is it easier with a picture with the phone then ? ❞ He chuckled ❝ Mhm, I know I can do better than this if I spent more time on it. Maybe another time if you have the patience to sit still for around 2-3 hours ❞ As soon as he felt comfortable around someone, he could be himself. Thought it felt weird in the beginning, didn't how to react when she started to talk to him the way she did. But it got easier, he could open up more. He could be charming if he wanted to, flirt as well, but it wasn't anything he did often anymore ❝ It's a pleasure meeting you Violet. I shall call you Vi. My last name is Lahey, I think my family might have lived here a few years ago. Call you ? For that I need your number ❞

[hybridprincessvi]

"Not even a finsta? I don't know if I could do that. I will admit to being very self-absorbed and I like to see people so interested in me. And I like to share things with the world. But I get it's not for everyone." Her father for example. He was definitely not a social media person. "Klaus Mikaelson. He's a little well known in some circles, but he's not about the fame aspects of being an artist." Probably due to being immortal and having to hide that fact. So much of his work all over was under different names for that reason. "Clothes and shoes mostly. I've been experimenting with accessories like purses and jewelry but sewing is a little less intimidating than soldering metal together," she explained with a laugh. She was drawing new things all the time, but bringing them to life was the part that took the longest sometimes. "It depends on the model really. If someone can't sit still or starts complaining about it, then I'd rather sketch from a picture. People seem to think that amazing art can happen in an hour or less but it's not always like that." Sometimes it took time, hours and days to perfect the tiniest things. "I think I could sit that long if I got to stare at you," Violet added with a smile, the dimple on her right side flashing. She pulled her phone - pink of course - from her purse and handed it over to him to put his number in. "Feel free to call any time. I'll make time for you, Nate."

[thejohnlogan]

❝ Europe is beautiful. I am certain you did ❞ He nodded. Wanted to one day visit Europe as well. It was many beautiful countries there. Chris laughed at her comment ❝ Thank you for making me feel old. I bet I do, I have social medias but never use them. Don't understand why everyone loves it. You can earn money on them ? Mikaelson- I have heard of the name before. I'm Chris Bailey, the old man who knows nothing on what is popular anymore. It's nice to meet you ❞

[hybridprincessvi]

"I felt I deserved to explore a bit and enjoy the finer things in life." Frankly, Violet thought she always deserved things like that. "I didn't mean that. Just that most of my demographic tends to be women between the ages of sixteen to twenty-five. And I'm sure there are plenty of men in there too of all different ages, but I know most of them are there just to see how hot I am and don't much care about anything else." Sometimes, you had to play to that sort of thing though, take advantage of it. "Yes you can. Monetization can take a while. You have to have a certain amount of followers but also interactions and views on your posts. It is all just a numbers game," she explained with a wave of her hand like it was too much to deal with. "Nice to meet you as well. I'm not surprised you've heard of Mikaelson before. We're kind of all over the place."

[kadygerard]

“Ugh, right. A shadow,” Kady mumbled grumpily but moved anyway. She watched as the other woman tried (apparently unsuccessfully) to get the perfect shot of herself. She felt the urge to roll her eyes but stopped herself. Kadynce wasn't mean. But from this brief interaction, Kady thought maybe the other was a little vain. “I was saying,” she said a little louder, “that I'm confused. I don't remember coming here.”

[hybridprincessvi]

Violet didn't pay any attention to the girl again until she put her foot down, not even thinking of if she was being rude or not. "Oh, did you go to one of the bars around here? Did you drink the hurricane? They can be incredibly dangerous when you're not used to them. It's like a long island iced tea but on crack. They can very quickly make you forget your own name," she said, stepping closer and sitting primly on the bench, crossing her legs. "Don't worry. Nothing counts if you've drunk a hurricane or two. We've all been there."

[xblccdlvsts]

"I mean, I have to say I love the confidence." Minnie responded with an amused smile. She looked at her for another moment before shaking her head. "How long were you in Paris for?"

[hybridprincessvi]

"Have I ever not been confident?" she pointed out with a bright grin. "When you look as good as I do at all times, it's really hard to not be." Like it was some sort of great burden she was taking on. "Just a few weeks. I was all over Europe really, but I made sure my last stop was in Paris. I wanted to be there for fashion week."

[freshcir]

So they were not in Mystic anymore? "Huh," he said as he looked towards one of the flat screens playing in a window shop. "I don't know you so I'm not going to give my opinion just yet"

[hybridprincessvi]

"Do you really need to get to know me to acknowledge that I am beautiful? You're not blind are you? Because I have made that mistake before and I will admit, it was slightly embarrassing." But in her opinion, her beauty transcended even blindness. It was her delusionally high self-confidence at work.

[thejohnlogan]

❝ Would I have been in the city sooner I'd just walk in without being invited. Really ? Are you popular around here ? ❞ He didn't know who she is. Deleted all social medias when he left his childhood home. To not get tracked from his family and changed his phone number too ❝ You do ? That is cool. What kind of designs ? I prefer to work more with pencils or charcoal, I think it adds more mystery to it all ❞ He got a feeling she might not care, maybe he can be wrong. She seemed to be full of herself, probably liked to be the center of attention. Nate looked away from her, moved up his knees on the bench and placed the sketch book on them. Started to sketch a portrait of her. Adding every detail, took out the alcohol pencils and the colored ones. He was used to sketch people, didn't take too long. When he was done, he tore out the page. Glanced up at her again, held out the portrait of her ❝ Did it catch your beauty ? Honesty does not break me. I am Nathaniel, by the way ― Nate for short, don't really like my full name ❞

[hybridprincessvi]

"Well first of all, I'm a beautiful woman. We're usually accepted everywhere. And secondly, I do have a bit of a following on social media and I'm very popular, so I hear the word no very little." Okay maybe never, but that probably had more to do with her selective hearing than people actually never refusing her. "I'm a fashion designer, so I tend to sketch out my designs. My father is an artist too, more painting for him. While I agree actually holding the sketchpad is far better for my creativity, I have to admit that using my iPad does help when it comes to playing with color," she explained. See, she could have intelligent conversations not just about herself. When the boy moved, she shifted herself to her best side, making sure the light hit her just right and fluffed her hair before sitting for the quick sketch. He finished pretty quickly so she was eager to see what he came up with and took the paper from him. "I know it's hard to capture my beauty that quickly, but you did a very good job. I'm impressed. I'm sure if I sat longer for you, you could really capture me well," she added. "I'm Violet Mikaelson. And you can call me anything you like as long as you call."

[thejohnlogan]

Marcel laughed ❝ I am not pouting. I do not like it. Must get used to the change, maybe the city needed it. It has been almost frozen in time for years ❞ Yes, must get used to it. They all have to, the old residents who used to live here. Might be good. Can happen that more younger adults move to Nola, not only for studies but for the never ending parties too ❝ You are right about that, Violet, I do have to stop being stubborn and admit I don't have a say in this ❞ He replied with a smile ❝ Which one was your favorite café ? No, I have not seen your dad anywhere ❞

[hybridprincessvi]

"I'm a professional pouter. I know it when I see it," she teased, smiling up at him. "All you old vampires hate change. Daddy doesn't see the vision with the more modern interior design elements I tried to add." They all just collected vintage things and kept them forever while she liked the convenience of modern things. "You could always try to get back on the faction council if you do want a say, but you have to actually stick around for that," she pointed out before gesturing to the building behind her, where the café used to be. "They had amazing red velvet donuts. I'm devastated. Do you want me to tell him or do you want to keep it a surprise?"

[mysstiicall]

"Yeah, I don't think anyone has made anyone cry because of their fashion comments since you left," he said with a laugh. Though it wasn't untrue. He shrugged. "It's a good city," he agreed. "Though the number of people in town throwing shadow is getting a little old."

[hybridprincessvi]

"That's a shame. I guess things got pretty dull then. And terribly ugly." Seriously, what would this world do without her? "What do you mean? Fill me in on everything I missed," she declared, taking his arm and dragging him along behind her towards a coffee shop. "By the way, how's the new school going? Anyone caused too much trouble for your parents yet?"

[lalalandfm-deactivated20260330]

"Paris, huh? That sounds nice right now." Hayley replied, a smile on her lips as she answered Violet. "It sure is. How was Paris? Was it amazing?"

[hybridprincessvi]

"Oh it was lovely. A little cold, but it's to be expected. But I got to see fashion week and take so many gorgeous pictures for my social media," she said, gushing about her little trip. "It was wonderful. I traveled all around really, but Paris was my last and favorite stop, despite being proposed to by a duke in another country. Or was he a prince? I don't remember."

[mysstiicall]

"Yes, I mean more meant the school itself," she said, given that Caroline had been with them, they had all wondered from time to time what would happen to the things they had looked after outside. "Your father?" She questioned. There was only a single person that came to her mine, Kol. And though she knew that he would have kept their name in some way, she knew better than to think he would stay here in this place after all the memories it had for him.

[hybridprincessvi]

"I guess so, but I didn't read much of the media they released about it. I'm not in college or anything so I'm not exactly looking for one." She had such an exciting life already to focus on. "The one and only Klaus Mikaelson. I'm not sure if he agreed to give it up because it was Stefan asking or maybe my mama and Uncle Elijah convincing him. Either way, I suggested we at least get a library or something named after us for doing so, but no one listened to my opinions."

[txrtxrxdmuxsxdpt]

"Well this is certainly interesting." Summer commented as she walked down the street of the French Quarter. She had never been here, all she knew about the place was from videos or photos that she had seen while in the time pocket. She had always been interested in coming here, although she never thought that she would. "Might as well make the most of it before I have to face my untimely demise." She said, titling her head to the side as she looked through the window into a witchcraft store. @btiesstarters

[hybridprincessvi]

Violet had just stepped out of the witch store, gathering a few items she had run out of at home. She may not do a lot of big, important spells, but she found several that were useful for everyday lift. "Untimely demise? Isn't that a little dark? Besides, nothing is ever set in stone, even death."

[mysstiicall]

"Does it have a connection to the Salvatore School from Mystic Falls?" She asked the other that seemed to know more than her about what was happening. Even if she was more intrested in her phone. It was hard to miss the SG everywhere, replacing the M. Unsure she wanted to give too much away, she looked to the other. "I had friends that used to live here, I wasn't aware they moved."

[hybridprincessvi]

"Considering one of the guy's it is named after opened the college, I would say so," she said simply. When the other said she had friends who used to live here, Violet turned towards the woman more. "You mean the Mikaelsons? My daddy and his siblings lived here once. We gave it over to create the school. I was needing bigger closet space anyways."

[thejohnlogan]

Nathaniel sighed, rolled his eyes ❝ A party I did not heard of. Disappointing ❞ Although he had kept a low profile from time to time, he did enjoy a good party. It was too bad he was not invited, if there was one. He chuckled when she mentioned to be far more interesting in whatever he was doing ❝ Just sketching ❞ He held up the sketchbook, turned the book to show her ❝ Bourbon Street. Not done yet, it's a lot of details left. I am not used to sketch cities or landscape at all. I usually sketch people ❞

[hybridprincessvi]

"I'm sure I would have been invited had everyone known I was back in town. But there is no excuse for them to not invite you handsome," she said with a smile, dimples on full display. She took a closer look at his sketch. It wasn't too bad. Violet knew a thing or two about art after all given who her father was. "I usually do more design myself. Sketching landscapes is fine, but I prefer to play with my own colors rather than what is really there. But if you wish to have a model, I've been told I am a work of art already. You can try to capture my beauty on paper."
