do the thing you're most afraid of

rebekah mikaelson 27 | nurse hybrid human. "You chose this. I didn't have a choice. I'm cursed and I'm angry."

“Are you cold?” (Steve for Tessa)

Tessa pushed at the dirt beneath her feet, letting herself swing slightly. It was nice just sitting here with Steve, side by side on the small swing set. The silence was comfortable and relaxing. She looked over at him with a sheepish smile. "How'd you know," she asked with a chuckle. "It's nice though." Sure, she should've thought to grab a jacket, but she'd been focused on the guy with her instead of herself.

One of the only healthy coping mechanisms she had was running, so she once again found herself on a run throughout the town. With her earbuds in and her gaze focused ahead of her, she barely made a second glance at any of the other residents she went by. It wasn’t until she was physically running into someone that she was brought back to reality. “Fuck,” she groaned, looking up at the man she’d just bumped into. “Sorry? Though I don’t know if it was your fault or mine.” It wasn’t like she’d been paying attention, so for all she knew, the stranger had gotten into her way. “You’re good though, right?” As a nurse, she felt morally obligated to at least make sure he wasn’t in need of any kind of medical attention.

“BORING? I CAN ASSURE YOU THAT I’M NOTHIN’ OF THE SORT,” and yes, if he almost looked offended, it was because he was, because.. then again, that was not the case. in fact, nathaniel had seen mostly everything that there was to see and no, he had no lost love for this city - in fact, he simply wanted to go back to where he was supposed to be. was he simply waiting for one of the people that he was well aware of - the people whose destinies he had written - to snap and blow it all to pieces? perhaps the scarlet witch, perhaps loki.. who knew? in fact, he would be more than happy to watch it all burn - the only person he gave a damn about was not here and he could not get to her until whatever was holding them prisoner was burnt to the ground. normally, he would have done so himself, but.. then again, revealing his powers could be dangerous and no, he was not willing to risk that. not in the slightest, no. “well, good times have proven themselves to be quite rare for me in the past, but.. eh, i suppose that i had a few in the past.” and for a moment, he raised an eyebrow at the other, because.. well, to where he came from - those seemed like perfectly normal things. “can’t say i know how to fly without a device to make it happen and magic is more for the sorcerers, but.. I HAVE A TRICK OR TWO UP MY SLEEVE.” he might not have been able to figure out just how to get the fuck out of here just yet, but.. maybe, he would. “well, just to start off,” he tapped the tempad that he wore around his wrist, before appearing on the other side of the room. and yes, maybe he couldn’t do everything that he had been hoping to do, but.. he’d get there. “this little thing allows me to go anywhere in town that i would like in seconds. pretty useful if you’re hopin’ to outrun someone. DOESN’T WORK OUTSIDE OF TOWN, BUT.. I’LL MAKE IT SO. one day. kind of have to. that boring or are you intrigued?” he wondered, arms crossed over his chest for a little bit there.

While she hoped he was telling the truth and actually wasn’t boring, she also wasn’t going to just believe him without some actual proof. It wasn’t like her to go around blindly trusting people. “You claim to be someone entertaining yet you’ve only had a few good times in your life? You’re not exactly making a good case here of why you should be co-president. Secretary? Maybe.” Rebekah had a look of disbelief on her face as Nathaniel talked about magic and flying. Was this guy already drunk? That seemed like a more likely explanation. Her eyes seemed to grow twice their size as she noticed him disappear from right in front of her and then reappear across the room. “What the fuck was that,” she asked him, practically yelling. “How did you do that?” She’d never in a million years expected someone to be able to actually teleport or whatever he wanted to call it. Looking around the room, she noticed a couple other people looking at them now.

Well, if this woman did leave, at least she would have been spared from Piper’s boring rants about work. It wasn’t like she could subject her to what she had dealt with on a weekly, sometimes daily basis back home. Demons and warlocks and evil creatures just didn’t make for good conversation with who she thought was an ordinary person. “Nice to meet you, Rebekah,” she greeted cordially. In response to her quesition, Piper shrugged. “When you have two younger sisters who are much more fun than you, you kind of resolve to be the boring one to keep them out of trouble.” That wasn’t to say she didn’t get in some trouble herself, but it wasn’t as often. “You have any siblings yourself?”

“Taking care of your sisters shouldn’t be your job. You have your own life,” she told the other girl. “Three fun sisters sounds better than two fun and one boring sister. Unless you don’t actually want to be a fun person.” Technically, Rebekah had quite a few siblings, but due to whatever magic was on this town, she didn’t actually remember them. “Nah, I’m an only child. No one to derail my own life and happiness for.” She’d never been the type to put most others before herself. A couple of her friends had siblings that either ended up fighting with them or resenting them for things in the past. It didn’t seem worth it to her.  “Did you move here to become your own person away from them or are they here too?”

TONY WAS.. IN NEED OF A DRINK. in fact, right now - he didn’t even know what to think, because.. well, he had learned that he had been killed in order to try and protect the people that he loved from thanos and as if that wasn’t enough - he had heard that he had a daughter. strange, was it not? yes, perhaps it always would be and.. right now, he didn’t even know what to think about that. in fact, he was in desperate need of forgetting completely for just a few hours and so, that was how he had found himself over at the bar, in need of a drink. a good one, at that and yes.. perhaps, one who could make him FORGET. “well, as someone who is in need of forgetting just about everything and possibly getting himself knocked out.. i’ll happily take you up on the invitation,” he shrugged, sitting down next to her. “after all, what’s better to let the past go than a good drink with a beautiful woman?” right?

“Damn, guess things have been rough for you,” she pointed out. "Lucky you bumped into me." Rebekah looked him over, not bothering to be discreet about it. “Absolutely nothing, actually, so feel free to get comfortable right there.” She leaned over the bar a bit so she could signal to the bartender, needing another one for herself and figuring her newfound company would want one too. “So, you gonna introduce yourself to me or are we gonna go with the whole stranger things? Yeah, it can totally be hot, but I’m gonna need something to call you if I have to scream it.” A more seductive smile tugged at her lips as she looked at him. “It’ll be up to you whether that’s good for you or bad.”

“I do believe that one.” Faith didn’t know this woman at all, but she did seem like she knew how to have fun. Vampire or not and Faith wasn’t about to loose out on that not yet at lese. “Oh, I lived in Sunnydale for a bit, Los Angeles, then back to Sunnydale - then I just ended up here one day.” The question had thrown her off, she’d just assumed everyone had come from somewhere else. Had this woman really lived her whole life. “So why don’t you travel? Your kind usually doesn’t stay in one place for too long, do they?” She thought of Spike and of Angel and where they’d come from before making their way to Sunnydale. Why was it so different for her? 

The other woman agreeing with her was a good call, and it helped to know that she didn’t seem boring. “So you went home and hen decided to leave again?” It was interesting that she’d been to different places though. Without the memories of who she really was, Rebekah assumed her makeshift fake memories were real. Why wouldn’t she? Her eyebrows furrowed, scrunching up in confusion. “What do you mean my kind? Don’t tell me you think you’re a fucking alien or something.” That would be one of the crazier things she’d heard in this town.

His eyes widened as he heard her voice and his head shot up. His sister, Rebekah, was standing right there - in arms length and he had no fucking clue what to do in this situation. Seeing as how she didn’t automatically recognize him, he came up with one of two thoughts - she had no memories or she didn’t recognize him. Either way, he was still going to protect her, with all of his might. “I was just muttering to myself how to get this thing opened and seems like it worked,” he laughed softly, barely holding back tears

As she looked at his face and heard him speak, she felt as if she’d met him before, but she had no clue where or when. Maybe he’d been a patient at the hospital. “Seemed like you weren’t really touching it when it came off,” she pointed out. Though, what exactly was she trying to say? It wasn’t like magic was real. “Hey, this might be weird... but have you been to the hospital recently? I feel like I know you, but that doesn’t make sense unless I helped treat you.” Maybe he just had one of those faces? Not being able to place him was frustrating.

Poe was restless. He always had to be doing something but now that he was stuck in this town, there wasn’t nearly enough excitement. Not as much as he used to have anyway. It was why he seemed to find himself at the bar most nights. Mostly he wanted some company, someone that was just as lost as he was. He’d been sat at the other end of the bar when he spotted her. He downed the last few dregs of his drink, ordering himself another before he made his way to sit on the stool beside her. “You’re telling me. There’s nothing going on here. It’s… unsettling. I mean, I’m pretty sure I almost took a nap at the bar I was that bored.”

There was something comforting about the stranger agreeing with her. At least she wasn’t as alone as she thought she was. Rebekah couldn’t help the light chuckle that fell from her lips at the thought of him asleep at the bar. “Shit, that’s sad,” she told him. “Feels like the whole town is under some weird spell where all these people wanna do is go to work and go home.” While she knew that worked for some, she had never been too much of an introvert. She needed people around her. “Think we can join forces to bring the life back to this place? Or at least enough to entertain the two of us?” As long as she was happy and having a good time, she was content.

“I MOST CERTAINLY WILL. are you in need of a co-president?” and yes, it would have been a lot like nathaniel to simply laugh his way out of everything, because.. at the end of the day, that was what he did best. after all - after being around for a century or two, everything started to seem like a joke and no, it didn’t seem as if that was something that he would ever be able to get rid of, that was for sure. no, he didn’t take anything seriously, but.. then again, what was there for him to take seriously, he wondered? “and no, i don’t think that you would. in fact, you do look like someone who’s been around. here and then, livin’ the good life.. yes?” and yes, that was the case about him - he was rarely wrong,. whenever he got an impression about someone. it never happened.. and well, he was certainly it never would. “you work at the hospital? man, if i did - i’d be bored as fuck too. nothing ever happens here,” oh, he had plans, plans that no one needed to know about, but.. well, they’d see. right? “and tell you what - you’re in luck, because.. i don’t have a single boring bone in my body. HOW CAN I PROVE IT TO YOU?” because he also wanted.. a distraction. from thinking about her. did he not?

She ran her fingers through her hair, taking a moment to think about his question. “I suppose so,” she replied with a shrug of one shoulder. “Though, as president, I reserve the right to fire you as co-president should you prove to be boring too.” After all, she just met this guy a few moments ago so she didn’t know if he’d be any real entertainment or not. Rebekah straightened up her posture, coy smile on her lips. “You could say that,” she agreed. “Never been one to shy away from a good time.” What else was there to do in life but have as much fun as possible? “You’d be surprised. We’ve had quite a few dumbasses with random injuries lately. Almost like people think they can fly and do magic or some shit. Some guy came in because he claimed he was immune to fire, like, okay, buddy. Whatever you say.” Hearing that he didn’t have a single boring bone had her intrigued. “Ah, the whole proving thing is for you to figure out. If I told you, it’d be way too easy.” She turned on her stool, one leg crossed over the other. “Do your best.”

The bar wasn’t terribly busy, but the way people and couples situated themselves, the only non-awkward spot for Piper to sit was between a woman chattering to her date to the left, and lone blonde to her right. She hadn’t thought that she’d be getting someone to talk to, until the woman noticed her and invited her over. Ever the cynic, Piper quirked an eyebrow and cautiously sat next to her. “Uh, I’d tell you to revoke the invitation because you’ve run into probably one of the more boring citizens of this town, but this is the best spot…so, you’re stuck with me.” The bartender came over, and she ordered a margarita. It was a long day at work, and she just wanted someone else to make her something instead of the other way around. “I’m Piper,” she offered.

The blonde rolled her eyes when the stranger insisted that they were boring, and therefore no help to her problem. “Because I’m still enjoying my drink and have no where else to sit, I’ll humor you for now.” Maybe she wasn’t as boring as she claimed to be. Rebekah turned slightly on her stool so she could face her now. “I’m Rebekah,” she replied in turn. “Why do you think you’re one of the more boring citizens? Usually people like to claim they aren’t.” The honesty was something she appreciated. Even if it wasn’t exactly what she had wanted.

Elijah let out a breath, he was getting a bit tired of dealing with the after effects of peoples stupidity. He was grabbing something to eat at Paddy’s, he wasn’t really paying attention to anyone around him as he drank from his glass “you would think people had common sense to not get injured and go to the hospital, but I have taken care of I don’t know how many in the past 24 hours.”

Since eating out alone wasn’t really her thing, she was standing off to the side as she waited for them to finish up her to-go order. One of the doctors from the hospital was sitting nearby, but she didn’t think interrupting him while he ate was the smartest thing. They barely knew each other. When he spoke up first, she laughed. “Tell me about it. Did you see the guy that tried to jump over the light post? Who in their right mind thinks that that’s even possible?”

He sighed as he tried to get the lid open, and as much as he tried it was stuck. “Oh come on,” he groaned, pushing it away for a moment. “Alright, be like that,” he said before taking the cap and muttering a spell and finally opening the lid. “Thank the gods above,” he groaned before feeling a pair of eyes on him. “Oh, hello” he smiled awkwardly

Rebekah was standing off to the side, waiting for her coffee order to be ready. Her eyes were slowly scanning the room, trying to see if anyone around was worth striking up a conversation with. Noticing a guy struggling with a lid, she watched for a while to see if he’d get it or if she should step in. “What the actual fuck,” she commented when she watched him talk to the lid to make it open. “How the hell...?” 

[rebekahmiks]

NATHANIEL DIDN’T WANT TO BE HERE. in fact, the only reason why had remained here was because he had nowhere else to go and because.. at the end of the day, he still hadn’t worked out just how to make this technology work in this place. the tempads did work, but.. then again, it wasn’t as if he could use the time doors and get out of here. for some reason, they did not work and right now.. well, the only thing that he knew was that he was never going to see her again. did that hurt? well, he had been trying to hide it as best as he could - hiding behind a playful attitude had always been something that he was best at doing, but.. then again, he was frustrated with himself and with his own work. just why was it that he couldn’t figure out a way to get the fuck out of here and to get himself and his son to where he wanted them to be? it was frustrating to no end and yes, he very much hated it, for sure. “that would make two of us,” he sighed, running a hand through his hair, because.. then again, he didn’t know what else to do. “hell, i’m fuckin’ frustrated with myself, but.. i’ll have to agree on that. people around this town surely don’t know what fun looks like. DO YOU?”

Rebekah looked up as she heard the man’s voice. “Join me in my annoyed at this boring town club,” she told him, gesturing to the barstool beside her. When he questioned her ability to have fun, she rolled her eyes. “Would I be complaining about the lack of fun if I didn’t know what it looked like?” While she felt as if she’d be in this town forever, she had memories of having fun. Going out to parties and spending her whole night on the dance floor. There was so much more out there and it was frustrating that the residents of Bar Harbor seemed to all be content to have quiet nights in. “I miss being surrounded by hot people while we’re all buzzed and happy to be dancing and enjoying the night, you know? Instead, I’m stuck in the hospital all day and come out at night to...” Rebekah gestured to the slower atmosphere of the room around them. “Well, this.”

Faith had been trying her best to listen to Buffy and not go patrolling. She knew - as much as she hated to admit it that Buffy was right and that trouble would be lurking just around the corner. But that left Faith with a lot of free time and that was dangerous. She’d just gotten off work and didn’t typically make it a habit to hang out there afterwards. Her coworkers really didn’t need to see just how much fun she could have. But the night was young, the drinks were good, and who was Faith to turn down a good time? Looking at the blonde, her senses going off like crazy, clearly this woman was a vampire and one who didn’t know she was. “Can’t have you passing away, can we?” Faith didn’t care. If Buffy could sleep with vampires why couldn’t she have a drink with one?  “Oh you’re very right about that. This place is the most boring place I’ve ever lived.”

“This world would be far too dull if I left it,” she told the other woman with a chuckle. Rebekah was intrigued when the stranger mentioned living elsewhere. As far as she could remember, she’d been stuck in this town. “Where else have you lived? I’d kill to be able to travel and find somewhere better than... this.” She took another sip from her glass of red wine and focused her attention on the woman beside her now. Hopefully she’d be able to share some interesting stories and tales of better cities. Something for Rebekah to dream about and hope for her future. “Let me live through you for just a bit,” she requested. 

[rebekahmiks]

If Rebekah was being honest with herself, the main reason she was in this town was the good nursing job she’d received. Otherwise, she’d be finding a way to live somewhere with more excitement. Of course, she had no clue that that wasn’t her decision, but with her memories of who she had once been wiped from her mind, she’d gotten fake ones in their place. The blonde crossed one leg over the other, getting comfortable on the bar stool. She was hoping to meet someone interesting. To find some sort of night life in this town that seemed to always sleep. As she felt a stranger approaching her, she put on a fake smile and turned to look at them. “Please, join me for a drink before I pass away from boredom,” she requested. “I don’t think anyone in this town has heard of fun.”

Word on the street is that [REBEKAH MIKAELSON] from [TVD/TO] is in Bar Harbor. They seem to look a lot like [MAIKA MONROE]. They’re [TWENTY-SEVEN YEARS OLD] and have [NO MEMORIES] in tact. Somehow they’ve managed to get a job at [BAR HARBOR HOSPITAL] as a [NURSE] to help pass the time. Looks like they’re ready to settle in for the long time.

NAME: Rebekah Mikaelson AGE: 27 (1,000+) BIRTHDAY: November 20th FANDOM: The Vampire Diaries/The Originals JOB: Nurse (...for now) RELATIONSHIP/FAMILY: Rebekah is the second daughter, sixth child out of seven, of the original vampire family, the Mikaelsons. 

ARE THEIR MEMORIES IN TACT?: Nope! Vampires/witches aren’t real and she’s an only child. 

DO THEY ENJOY BAR HARBOR?: Not really. It’s too quiet for her. 

A BRIEF BIO: Long story short, Rebekah doesn’t remember who she is. So as far as she’s concerned, she’s a normal human that grew up with parents that died when she was young. She’s a mix of a mean girl and your best friend. (The former being her “current” self trying to come out and the latter being her genuine personality.) 

In reality, Rebekah was born to a witch mother in the 10th Century A.D. and her father turned their whole family into vampires; the first of their kind. Becoming a vampire was incredibly difficult for Rebekah as she had always been a thoughtful and caring child. Having to kill to survive wasn’t easy for her. 

Her and her siblings fled from their father for centuries, and as the years went on, being a vampire with genuine feelings started to get the better of her. What was the point of loving when everyone she loved would eventually die? So she turned off her feelings and lived her life doing whatever, and whoever, she wanted. 

Before she was brought to Bar Harbor, she was searching for a way to be permanently human again. That way, she could fall in love and live out a normal life just as she wanted.
