his hands are still shaking. registers this somewhere in the back of his mind, knows he needs to... do something. go home. get the wound on his side, pressed beneath a dirty t-shirt and a palm slick with his own blood, looked at before it gets infected or something. but the woods he just stumbled out of still crowd around the edge of the carnival like a promise, and— scott can't let anyone else get hurt. he has to warn someone. realizes someone's approached him in the very same instant that he blurts, gone stupid with adrenaline and the phantom of his best friend's paranoia, "i think there's a werewolf here."

[immortclities]

She raised a brow, "You think or you know?" she asked as she looked around. "I thought I smelled mutt but I wasn't exactly sure," she sighed as she noticed the smell of blood and the towel. "Oh shit, you were attacked," she said, eyeing him, "how much about the supernatural do you know before I go forward? Also we should probably get away from here if you don't want to start a riot"

[immortclities]

best piece of advice to give

"Be the person you needed in life"

[immortclities]

are you secretly a softie

"I have my moments"

[unshrinkingviolet]

"that's... bold of you to say." bold, confident, cocky. the girl was hot, sure, and confidence could be attractive, but she really was in the way. "and you can't find it in yourself to want to move?"

[immortclities]

"That wouldn't be the first time I've been told that," she said before raising a brow. She was stubborn, the type to dig her heels in further if pushed so, with a smirk, she shrugged. "I don't know, I kind of like this spot"

[cursdslayer]

it had been a half-hearted pursuit. vanessa hadn't actually wanted to go out on patrol, but no one had ever asked her. they rarely did. it was expected, and she had to perform. it was better than risking fernando's biting disappointment. then again, being in the dark with a vampire wasn't much fun either. vanessa wasn't exactly concerned; she was not only trained but also... well, she wasn't sure what she was. what she was was tired. she knew that much. "what if," she proposed. "we don't do this tonight. we skip the song and dance and just... don't. how does that sound?"

[immortclities]

"Awe, you think you can take me on - how cute," she said with a small sigh. "Listen," she said as she took a step closer, "I'm in a good mood, and I want to simply enjoy life tonight, so how about you put that little stake down and enjoy it with me. Consider it a one night truce?"

[pasteurdaughter]

"I can try but it's a sad way to lead your life." She understood the wisdom behind the other woman's words. The world could be cruel. They saw it everyday on the news. Thankfully April did not really watch those. And it was Mystic Falls ! Nothing bad happened here. Until the animal attacks. And it was animals. Arcelia did not look like a mountain lion. "I feel like I can trust you though ! You have a cute face !" The kind she wanted to boop. Although she refrained from it as the gesture would likely be unwelcome and potentially a distraction causing a car accident. " Sorry ! Are you not from around here ?" Interesting. " On the next trafic light make a right." April said in her best gps robotic voice.

"Well we didn't have the money to pay for the boarding school anymore. It's kinda embarrassing." She felt ashamed answering the question. It was not pleasant admitting your family was kind of broke. She could have lied to save her the trouble but that option had not crossed her mind. Always honest to a fault.

[immortclities]

"It's gotten me this far, hasn't it?" she mused, over 900 years of lifetimes having been lived proof enough that not trusting anyone but herself was enough to get her by just fine - but she wasn't going to lay that on a fairly innocent soul. While she was one to burst bubbles she wanted to play with her new toy and see where things would end up

"Well you're not wrong," she said, a slight tinge of pink on her cheeks - her ego inflated at the compliment. She was still a noble at heart and comments inflating her ego were very much appreciated by her. "What? Do you want pity? You went quiet like you expect me to say something about you for not having the money"

[immortclities]

what is your most precious memory ?

"When my daughter was born," she said in a rare moment of emotion as she looked away. "I... Yeah, that's all I have to say about that"

[immortclities]

how do you feel about kol mikaelson?

"He's a egotistical bastard who decided to disappear on me," she groaned, turning her face to look away, though a glint of sadness appeared in her eyes. "But I do miss him... a little though, don't let it get him cocky"

[immortclities]

favorite time period to live through?

"The ones where I wasn't being hunted, which aren't many," she hummed before sighing. "Probably the 60s, loved the drugs and the music"

[immortclities]

How do you feel about Kol turning you?

"Annoyed the bastard was right but I got to live so I can't complain much"

[unshrinkingviolet]

"yeah, it's a perfect shot. only way it could get any better would be if you could take a hint and stepped out of it." the bright lights of the carnival were giving just the right vibe but they seemed impossible to pin down.

[immortclities]

"Mon Amour I am the shot," she said as she leaned back against the wall with her arms folded. "Plus I don't move unless I want to so either find another angle or take your shot"

She let her chin fall onto her open palm as she watched people pass. She missed the excitement of a big town but secretly she enjoyed this small little town. It was a supernatural hub yet the secrets of the supernatural had managed to stay hidden here. Though she knew it'd only be for so long until people found out about what went on in the dark. That's when a kid came up to her, crying, and she looked around awkwardly. "Okay, uh, please stop," she said as she leaned away from them, "please tell me you know how to handle this because I don't" she said, looking up at the person who had stopped

[pasteurdaughter]

" But I'm a girls girl ! So I kind of do." She had yet to be proven wrong. Sure she would not get along with a woman based solely on their shared gender but April believed another woman would not hurt her. " It's a cool car !" She commented, eager to change the subject and bring a more relaxed atmosphere. "We're going to the Youngs farm. Right outside of town." April wondered how best to guide her driver to her family farm. Locals usually knew where everyone lived. " Also, I'm April. April Young. Pastor Young's daughter." She introduced herself after realising she had gotten into Arcelia's car without really knowing her. " I was in boarding school until this year. That's why you probably don't recognise me." April did not recognised her chauffeur either but felt a bit awkward asking for her name in case she was supposed to know it.

[immortclities]

"Right, well don't trust just anyone," was all she said, knowing she wasn't going to incriminate herself in any possible mess. The girl had her face and she could've compelled her but she didn't need the mess on her hands right now. "Okay, you tell me this like I should know where it is. Do I make a right or a left?" she asked, brow raised as she momentarily looked at the other. Cute. Innocent. All things that got you killed in the end. "and you chose to come back?"

[herowitch]

like a fun new party trick, she knows there's something off in the room before they even reveal themselves. it's a tickle in her senses, a disembodied whisper in the back of her mind that she isn't truly alone. "—are you going to lurk all day, or do you want to talk?"

[immortclities]

"Lurking is my thing," she said as she pushed herself off the wall and neared the other, leaning forward to study her a bit before nodding. This was a witch if she had ever seen one but she was a baby as well, probably didn't even know she was one. "Oh this'll be fun to watch go down" she grinned before extending a hand out. "Arcelia"

[pasteurdaughter]

"Well you're a girl." Which April always associated to safety. "You don't look like a pervert." Arcelia was missing the moustache. "I would have never asked some gross man ! " She still had a shred of self preservation instinct.

April clapped in delight as the woman agreed to give her a lift. " Oh my god thank you ! Thank you ! Thank you !" She got inside the car with a relieved smile. "You're a life saviour !"

[immortclities]

"So?" she said, brow furrowed even more, "not saying I am but you can't exactly judge a person based on their gender alone," she shrugged, not getting into the dynamics of this - that was for her father or whoever was raising this girl. "We'll see about that," she snorted as she stepped on the gas, "where are we going exactly? You'll have to be my gps for the night"
