“ please tell me you can do something about this. ” he’s drenched to the bone, dripping onto the floor as a hand wipes hair away from his face. he’s still not sure howit happened. yes, he was wishing it was raining, getting in his feelings just a little as he listened to hilary duff’s come clean and staring forlornly out the window, but this wasn’t what he had in mind; as if sensing his distress, the rain cloud hovering above his head crackles and booms thunderous. “ i’ve tried magic. i’ve tried singing ‘ rain, rain, go away ’ and nothing works. i’m about to lose it. ”

Veronica looked at him,her eyes moving up and down before her eyes settled onto the rain cloud that was above him. “Why on earth does this feel like a cartoon of some kind.”She finally spoke up,her arms folded over her chest. She wasn’t meaning to be rude she just thought it would be good to tell him what it reminded her of. “Sadly I don’t think that is going to help,I think I may have something in a book to help,maybe we should stick you in the bathtub or give you an umbrella until we sort it out.”

“I really don’t think I misplaced my cookies as much a I might have misplaced myself…” She was fairly sure that she was speaking more to herself than to Veronica with that statement, but it didn’t make it any less true. This whole dream was just… very disorienting, and she wasn’t enjoying it at all.

She watched as she began to work on the ‘phone’ but what she was doing, frankly, made no sense at all to Jessica. She rattled off Sam’s phone number ( or at the very least the number he’d used in 2005 ) but her hope was shrinking by the second. “… Many new people around here?” She repeated, mulling the thought for a few moments, “Is here like… The Bermuda Triangle or something? I was just in my apartment at school before I was here… Does that sound like the other new people round here? And… where exactly is here?”

Veronica tilted her head a little before nodding it in understanding. “Ah,well I would say that you aren’t the only one that has done that. I would say I am in the same boat,but I have just met a lot of people in that same situation.

“Yeah you could say that, I haven’t seen this many new people in a long time. Normally it’s just a family every once and a while, but it’s like a convention rolled into town.”She admitted. “That would be pretty interesting if we were in the Bermuda Triangle but nope we are still here in the States.”

“ the secret to a good trick? make people look the wrong way —- works every time, dear. ”

“Wow, think you could teach me how to do a really good trick,I have always been terrible at them.”

etherealfcte:

“ I would apologise for my analytical ambush, but i know i will soon be apologising again and you’ll tire of that eventually, —- so i have to consider using apologies sparingly. ”

Veronica couldn’t help but let a small chuckle escape from her lips. “Oh don’t worry about it, I have learned to be a really good listener over the years. Also yes,I would say it’s best to use those apologies sparingly,it looses its meaning the more you say it.”

“ oh goody. at least i’m on the right continent. ” he says dryly, lips pressed together into a tight line. it’s meant to land as a joke, but there’s some sincerity in the words. if he’s still in the states, getting home shouldn’t be thatdifficult. “ out of town. yeah. something like that. ” eyes narrow as he tries his phone again, unsurprised when it fails to connect to the networks. it’s about as useful as a stake on an original. “ have you met a lot of people from … out of town ? any leggy brunettes with big, sad, eyes, and a locket around her neck ? or a brooding face attached to the worst case of hero hair you’ve ever seen ? no ? ”

Veronica couldn’t help but let a small chuckle escape from her lips as he let out the sarcastic comment or what she hopped was a sarcastic comment. She looked at him for a moment before she began to speak again,nodding to his question. “Yeah, I have ran into my fair share of them on the street, however most of them seem to come in to the bar I work at. I have no idea what it is about the bar but I always try my best and help some out if they need it.”She replied to him tilting her head as she thought. “I don’t think that I have seen those, I would have remembered descriptions

his favorite thing about reprieve, without exception, was that his fake i.d. passed without any skepticism because people didn’t know him here. everyone knew him in mystic falls; or worse, they knew his mother. you’d think, living in california most his life, he wouldn’t be a victim to an absence of anonymity but people talk in small towns; anything new and shiny is impossible to miss. here, however, no one knows he’s not T E C H N I C A L L Y 21 because there’s no salvatore school for the gifted youngers. he’s trapped, but he’s also free. it’s complicated.

“ he’s a dick. ” arlo can’t help but agree, wincing sympathetically. not only was the guy a complete asshat, but he alsonever tipped. he likes to think there’s a special place in hell for all the people who never tip their servers. “ there should be, like, i dunno … public decency rules. like when you join a server and the mods have rules. that way you could throw him out on his ass when he sucks. ” when, not if; the guy’s nothing if not predictable.

Veronica couldn’t help but let a chuckle escape from her lips as she turned her attention to him. “You can say that again, in all my life I don’t think that I have met a bigger dick than him. I have met quite a lot and he just takes the cake”She replied with a chuckle. “Oh you have no idea how much I would love something like that, I think that the bouncer would be out of a job if I threw guys like him out.”She smiled. “Anyway,what can I get you?”

scvrwclf:

“ i wouldn’t go in there if i were you. ”

Veronica was about to walked in when she heard the voice from behind her speaking. She put her hand down and turned on her heals to face him. “Why? What’s in there? Come on I’m sure that it’s nothing.”

this might be the first interesting thing the girl’s ever said. maya’s intrigued, leaning forward on her elbows as she tilts her head. “ so you’re one of those ‘ composed on the outside, screaming on the inside ’ types, huh ? maybe you’re less boring than i thought. ” she leans back in her chair, regarding veronica with a modicum of interest now. “ you know it’s super unhealthy to keep things bottled up like that. ” her words are sly, meant to tempt as she adds, “ you should probably blow off some steam. even dormant volcanoes can erupt under the right circumstances. ”

Veronica looked at her with a small smirk appearing on her lips before she spoke. “Yeah I guess you could say that, I get the anger part off my mother, I guess you could say she gave me a whole lot of things.”She said. “Oh don’t worry,I have my ways of getting out my anger. I drum, really does let off the steam quite well.”She admitted. She had other way of getting rid of her anger,more that leaned on her demonic side. “Does annoy the neighbours but I don’t care, they keep me up so I keep them up.”

there is a brief moment where she casts another glance in the direction of the doorway, as if staring in the direction of the GHOST of the belligerent customer. “ that kind of … sucks? ” she tips her brows upward, returning her gaze toward the blonde bartender. “ but i get it. tuning out the noise is a useful asset. ” for her, that’s either been the talks and rumors, either the people that have quite the talent for irking her ( lizzie saltzman comes to mind ). reaching into her jacket pocket, she unfolds the thick paper that showcases a drawing of none other than professor saltzman himself. “ i was wondering if you’d seen him around? at any point. ” she pushes the drawing toward the blonde, really hoping she didn’t miss any KEY DETAILS. it’s not like she has any photos of her headmaster on her phone, so all she can use is a sketch … made from memory. “ his name is alaric and is a big fan of bars. ”

Veronica looked at her,a gentle smile appearing on her lips as she spoke. “Oh you can say that again, you can just feel the quiet starting to roll in.”Sure there were other people around chatting and laughing but done of them had been as loud as him. Veronica stayed quiet as she watched the stranger pull out a paper from her pocket and revealing it to her. The drawing was pretty amazing, it almost looked like it was a photograph and not a drawing of somebody. The blonde took hold of the drawing and looked it over,taking in every last detail while she listened to her speak. “No I am afraid that I haven’t seen him, but tell you what, if he ever comes around here I could call you. I have been known to have a good memory when it comes to faces so won’t be a bother at all.”

“I’m sorry - I didn’t mean to. I’m glad you didn’t drop it either. I just finished making some cookies but I’m not sure… where they are now.” Well, she knew where the cookies were, she just didn’t know where she was. And here was yet another ‘phone’ that looked nothing like a phone…

“Do you think maybe you could try calling my boyfriend for me if I just tell you his number? I’m not too sure how to use your phone…” She felt pretty helpless, chewing on the inside of her cheek for a moment, “I swear I’m not some kind of weirdo… My name is Jess - his name is Sam… I just… It makes me sound more like a weirdo if I tell you I think I’m dreaming, doesn’t it?”

Veronica looked at her,tilting her head in confusion. “You misplaced your cookies? Now that is a very strange occurrence if you ask me.”She replied as she looked the stranger up and down for a moment.

It took her a moment to reply to her, the good nature in her winning out over anything else in her. “Sure I’d be happy to try that for you. Yeah I’m sorry about that, it’s a new one so I am still getting used to it myself”She admitted as she began to unlock her phone. “You don’t sound like a weirdo at all. It’s very nice to meet you Jess,I’m Veronica,you can call me Roni if you like.”She said before chuckling softly. “No not at all, you must be one of the many new people around here.”

while the sudden influx of weirdos might be good for the tourism industry, maya can’t help but find it incrediblyannoying. her favorite club has been packed with vampires for weeks, each one more annoying than the last, and as much as she loves picking biweekly fights with them the manager had finally had enough. he’d kicked all of them out and banned them for life. a bit dramatic, honestly, but whatever. his loss is this shithole’s gain.

she’s on her fourth manhattan when she hears the bartender make a comment, looking up from where she’s been scrolling through her instagram feed. some of her loser friends, with no self-respect,were still partying at club lame. clearly she needed new friends. “ try that again. you’re usually pretty boring so i don’t bother listening. ”

Just what she needed,somebody calling her boring. She kept her temper to herself while at work,she loved her job,minus the people who were quite annoying. If she had the chance,that man would have been thrown out on his ass by her. “Well please forgive me for being boring. I don’t like having temper tantrums in work, usually ends up with things being broken or people hurt, so I try to keep it to a minimum.” She replied looking at her,a small chuckle escaping her lips.

what is she, an underage girl ( a tribrid, perhaps, but still very much underage ) doing in a bar? don’t worry about it ; it’s just some investigative work. the past few days have been a continuous cycle of stalking around the places she THINKS might contain some clues, familiar faces, or any semblance of a HELPING HAND. and she cares for professor saltzman, she really does, but if there is one place he’d definitely spend his day at —- that would be the bar.

by the time she steps in, there is already a ruckus going on. she takes a seat and her attempts at fishing for information get squashed by the man beside her who just won’t CALM DOWN. she almost turns and calls him off herself ; luckily, the bouncers end up doing their job instead. as she sharply stares him down on his way out, she hears the young woman’s complaint. “ he’s a regular too? sorry to hear that, ” she utters, lips pressing in a tight line as she spins in her seat and back toward the blonde. “ hey, could you help me with something? ” there’s a small frown and she gets defensive ahead of time. “ don’t worry, i’m not … here to break the law. you can keep your booze. ”

Veronica sighed,mainly with relief that he was out of her hair, but also because she knew that he would be back the next night and do the same thing all over again. However she had a plan to ignore him once he set foot and let one of her co-workers deal with him for the night.She may have looked nice and gentle,but once her temper flared up she would have thrown him out on his ass.

She turned her attention to the stranger,nodding her head before she replied to her. “Yeah sadly he’s here nearly every other night,rambling about how bad his job is.I’m used to him by now,sorta.”She admitted as she ran her hands through her blonde hair before chuckling softly. “Good, I wouldn't want to get myself into trouble if you wanted that. What do you need help with?”She asked,resting her arms against the bar.

Veronica had been seeing new people arrive for the past few months and she had gotten quite used to it. Many of them she had just met on the street or in a store she was at,happy to help them figure things out. Some of them came into the bar either looking for help or for a drink or two. She had gotten used to all the new faces,they began to blend in with everybody else for her.

She was working at the bar when she was dealing with a pain in the ass regular and she honestly wasn’t in the mood for them. She was doing her best to keep her calm,not wanting to scare them away no matter how much she wanted. She called the bouncer instead,watching as they were taken out. “Oh man he always knows how to get on my nerves.”She sighed to the person that had been sitting next to him.

There’s nothing. The top corner of her screen that should be showing her service bars is only showing her that it’s searching for a signal and failing to find one, even as she holds the flip phone up above her head in hopes it might register. “Come on, come on, come onnn,” she half begs, frowning when she brings it back down where she can see it before shaking her head, stuffing it back into the pocket of her pajama pants.

She’s dreaming, or at least she figures she must be, because she wouldn’t go out in public dressed like this. She doesn’t know why she’s dreaming something like this, but she’ll figure it out. She’ll see Brady or Sam or someone that she actually knows here and she’ll wake up warm and comfortable in bed to go to class in the morning... Or something. (has she ever had a lucid dream like this before? has she ever been aware that she was dreaming?)

It’s only when she sees someone walking ahead of her that she springs into action, jogging the few steps she needs to to catch up to them before reaching out to tap their shoulder, “Hey, can I borrow your phone for a minute? I’ve got no signal.”

Veronica finally had a day off from work and she knew exactly where she was going to head, to visit her father. She normally left a little bit earlier so she could get there early enough to surprise him. This time she was bringing him his favourite desert as she didn’t want him to go through all of the trouble of making dinner and desert for her.

She was making her way down the street when she jumped a bit,feeling the touch of somebodies hand against her shoulder. “Oh well since you didn’t make me drop my desert,go right ahead.”She said as she pulled out her phone and handed it over to the stranger. “You kinda startled me.”

she says reprieve like it’s supposed to mean something to him. it doesn’t. he stares at her blankly, waiting for further explanation, before he accepts nothing else is coming. “ reprieve. right. that sounds like a real place. ” he steps back onto the sidewalk, safely away the incoming traffic and further obstacles. he pulls out his phone to look it up on the maps app, frowning when it just buffers and never connects. NO SERVICE, he’s out of luck. “ where exactly is reprieve ? ”

Veronica placed her hands into her pockets as she looked at the stranger. “Well it is a real place and you are standing in the middle of it.”She said lifting her hands up and motioning around the two of them. “Well it’s in the states of course. You must be one of those that are from,as others are putting it, out of town. I can tell.”

every so often the smile slipped, like now when she was bone tired. eve slept less than most, but that didn’t always stop the exhaustion from seeping in. she was still stuck in a strange town, after all. in the middle of who knows what dimension or universe or whatever. that was enough to mess with a person to say the least.

the combination of a weary body and overtaxed mind was prime game for not paying the least bit of attention where she was going. it didn’t take long until she found herself colliding with someone or something hard enough to toss the brunette on her ass.

“ow,” she hissed, whether it actually hurt or she just expected it to was anyone’s guess. either way she glanced up, hoping she’d knocked into a pole, not a person, but apologizing instinctively. “i’m so sorry.”

Veronica normally went for a walk before she went to work, she liked to get some fresh air before being stuck at a bar for hours on end. She had her hands buried in her pockets as she walked through the streets. She was looking around,over the past few months she had gotten used to seeing new faces popping up in the town,it fascinated her to no end.

She was turning a corner when she hit full force into another person. “Oh my god are you alright. Hey don’t be sorry,it was my fault,I wasn’t really looking where I was going.”

damon’s not really a panicker. yes, he gets more irritable when circumstances are … less than ideal, but he’d like to think he manages to stay relatively calm in a crisis. he’s wrong, mind you, but self-awareness can be a fatal flaw.

one minute he’s outside some crappy motel with little gilbert and elena, and in the next he’s stumbling over his own feet as some jackass almost hits him with their car. the irony makes him smile, despite the irritated set to his jaw. “ watch where you’re going. ” he shouts, smoothing out the lines of his shirt as a head turns towards the driver. “ — or is road etiquette not a thingwherever the hell this is ? ”

Although she knew how to drive and had her licence, Veronica didn’t drive, she normally just walked through town,giving the fact her apartment wasn’t too far from work. She was heading back to her place when she heard the man giving out to somebody. “Yeah some people around here honestly make me wonder how they get their license. As for where this is, this is Reprieve”
