( @the-last-doppelganger gets a plotted starter from Walter de Ville )

Everyone part of this moment had been pre-orchestrated. He was not willing to take any chances. After his entire empire had been destroyed in a night, Walter wanted to be sure that he had everything he needed to rebuild. That included calling in a few old favors.

It had been easy to track down the Salvatores, they had placed himself right back where they started. He soon realized why --- and he was aiming to use her as collateral.

To ensure that, he needed to meet her first.

Hence his attendance at the Historical Society event. He pretended to be interested in the artifacts scattered around the room but in the end, he was interested in her. So he slid next to her. "There is a lot of history in this room," he commented. "You have to appreciate a town that celebrates it."

We write together now, but I was very intimidated by you initially, cause I have anxiety approaching new people and you're really great at playing Klaus (and all your other characters).

aaaaaaaaa i get this often about being intimidated to approach me, but honestly i am just a ball of forgetfulness and autism so if i seem distant or harsh it's likely one of those two things

i promise i don't bite unless you're a zionist<3

BUT I ADORE WRITING WITH YOU. YOU BRING SUCH A VOICE TO ELENA THAT I HAVE YET TO SEE ON TUMBLR. EVEN IN MY OWN WRITING OF HER LMAO I JUST LOVE WRITING AND PLOTTING WITH YOU!!!

@the-last-doppelganger sent: “why did you make me think that you loved me?”

.. from: angst starters. / status: always accepting !!

"make you think..." parroting the words in disbelief, a knife to the heart would felt better than the way those few words make him feel the moment they're spoken from the other. an agonizing pause of silence settles between them while the hard lump in his throat forms, unable to mask the hurt lacing his tone once stefan finally does speak again, "why would you say that?"

There isn't much that brings shock to Klaus anymore. He has lived far too many lifetimes to be surprised by anything or anyone. The curse of eternity is the absence of wonder; he now knows why the people he was born into worshipped the gods they did, why each story had a purpose, why the seasons change. None of it is mystical or spiritual at all -- even though at one point in his life, he truly believed it so.

Klaus no longer expects good from people, either. People are deceiving, and only serve their own purposes. He is one of those people. Which is why Klaus is not shocked in the slightest to find Elena alive and well after he has spent months attempting to find werewolves to turn into hybrids, only for them to die shortly after. Her living through the ritual was never supposed to happen, and now Klaus's entire plan is ruined. His goal for the last thousand years has been rendered utterly useless by this band of teenage sycophants and their baby vampire protectors.

It angers him, but it does not shock him.

There is one aspect of the current situation that has managed to surprise him, though. There is something different about Elena's presence that he cannot place. Klaus managed to know exactly where she was in town the moment he arrived, and not because of an educated guess. He knew precisely where she was, and could feel her presence the moment he stepped foot in the same building. It's how he managed to take her by surprise so easily, as ironic as it is.

Even now, as he waits for answers from the witch, Klaus can sense every move Elena makes before she makes it. His eyes follow her, study her, even as she is unaware of him doing so because she is so focused on Stefan. There is something different here, but Klaus is not going to focus on it when there are other more pressing matters at hand.

It's only after the situation is resolved that he finally allows his mind to drift back to the shift he'd felt. Stefan is fixed, Tyler is a hybrid, and Elena is safely tucked into a hospital bed as her blood is drawn for him. The smell of it is far more potent to him than it had been when he'd drank from her that night, and he only has a moment to ponder on it before he senses her waking from her sleep. He senses it well before it actually happens, which has him tilting his head at her as she wakes.

"Careful, love," he says, questioned look still on his face as he stands over her. "You're now precious cargo. But what do you say we have a little chat, hm? I've some questions for you, if you don't mind."

( @the-last-doppelganger gets a starter from Elijah Mikaelson )

Although he knew better, knew he should stay away, Elijah found himself at the Gilbert house, waiting after having knocked on the door. He knew that part of the reason he was here was because she looked just like Katerina. But there was more to it (and there was no sense in denying that). He took a deep breath when she opened the door. "Elena," he began. "I came to see how you are after what happened."

"I've been warned to watch out for women like you." (For Rebekah)

"Women like me? What does that mean?" Rebekah asked. She was friendly given you didn't betray her or try to harm her family. Elena did both. What was she suppose to do serve the little princess of Mystic Falls like everyone else.

if  i  ask  for  a  double,  will  you  pretend  i'm  not  spiraling? (for Elijah)

“I believe, Elena, that the keeping you alive arrangement formally acquits me of any responsibility to analyse or prevent your unbecoming in a psychological regard.” This is the angle Elijah is taking to tread the thin line cautiously. However- a brow quirks against his best interest: he’s taking the bait.

“What is troubling you this evening?” This translucent layer of curiosity thinning out before Elena, concern laden and twisting through his words like vines around a stick, effortlessly utilising the century-crafted metaphorical verbal chromatophores to retain a human-like standard, beneath his stoic surface.

@the-last-doppelganger gets a thing from Sage (closed starter)

Green hues cross brown from across the street. Her chin rises, a war brewing within her. The blood in her veins running hot and then cold. He was dead. They killed him. Years ago now, but the sight of Elena alive and well brings the memory back as if it happened yesterday. She stands frozen, unable to move. The monster within her longing to be let loose. To act on revenge. She holds it back and breaths through the whirlwind of emotions. She does not dare move a muscle until her ruffled feathers are once again in place. And when they are she crosses the road, calm and collected. "Elena" a small smile graces her lips "So is it true what they say, everyone leaves home in the end? I did not expect you so far from Mystic Falls."
