Lincoln River Network

All my friends should come meet my new doggy Chance soon. He is super sweet and he even plays games and does tricks!

Hmm, not used to so much quiet. I think I'm going to need to find a hobby until classes start up.

Thanks to everyone who came, it was a blast! I'll probably be doing a lot more of these.

Since we've had rather an influx of new people arriving recently, I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself to all of you and raise a few important points that you might need to know in the near future.

My name is Miss Ephesia Vanch and I'm the chairwoman of the Lincoln River Welcome Committee, as well as the headmistress of Lincoln River High School. I know I've already had the opportunity of speaking to a number of you when you arrived but, for those I missed, my fellow residents and I would like to wish you a warm welcome to our little town.

You should each have received a welcome basket from the Welcome Committee. I do hope I was able to provide everything you might need to get you on your feet. I am only human, however, so if I missed anything essential, please do let me know so I can rectify the mistake.

While the Welcome Committee will do what they can to ensure you settle comfortably into your new residents, I must inform you that, as residents of Lincoln River, you will each be expected to support yourself and become an active part of our community. We have a saying; a town that works together thrives together. We each do our bit for the town and, as a result, we're all able to reap the rewards.

If you have yet to find employment, you will find a Classified section at the back of our town's newspaper, available at all convenience stores in the town or, alternatively, at the Lincoln River Library. You are also welcome to approach business owners directly or visit the Town Hall to ask for assistance in your job search. If you have any questions or need advice, you are also welcome to contact me directly. I will do my best to help in any way possible.

For those of you of college age - I know a number of you have recently graduated high school and I offer my warmest congratulations - the deadline for domestic college sign-ups for Fall 2013 is July 1. If you intend to study at ULR, you will need to get your application in before that date. This gives you a little over a month. There are a number of late-admission places but the Dean prefers to hold these back in case new residents arrive once the semester has already begun, so please do not think you can rely on these as an excuse to procrastinate. If you need advice on the matter, myself or one of my colleges from the High School will happily speak to you and discuss your options.

For those of you who have not yet completed a high school education, you are most welcome to join my students at the high school. The semester is ending soon and summer is on its way but you're welcome to attend classes for the next few weeks to get a feel for our little school. This will also give me an idea as to your capability and allow me to put you into the appropriate level of education in the fall, so that you are able to flourish and achieve your absolute best.

As I have said before, I am here to help so please don't hesitate to come to me if you have any questions at all. I do not proclaim to have all the answers, but I will always do what I can to make this transition as easy for you as possible.

Just a reminder, slumber party at my house tomorrow night. Girls only. Bonnie, you're coming so don't even try to argue about it. Elena, you too.

Don't let me down, I've already decorated.

ETA: Since this is in the interest of getting to know people and whatnot, there will not be any alcohol at this party.

...Hello? Grams? What's going on? What happened? How did I...get here? I'm dead.

In need of a major pick me up so Slumber party. My house. Friday night. Girls only. Everyone's invited. Bring your own booze.

You know what? I'm just gonna come out and say it. I mean hell, I did it on live friggin' TV so why should I hide from it from any of you guys?

I'm immortal. I regenerate and I can't die and yeah, that's that. I feel better not having that weighing on me.

Clearly, I'm not allowed to make jokes to anyone without lives being threatened. So I'm sorry. Serious Caroline from here on out.

I'm not even going to say it again.

Why isn't Bonnie here?

Sod women, I don't buggering need them. At all.

So this morning, I went down to the local PD along with my partner, an FBI agent, and a girl who thinks she's an FBI agent [for Halloween, maybe?], but looks like Special Agent Tinkerbell to me. That or FBI barbie, we can take a poll! I'm partial to Tink myself. Wasn't that very responsible of us? I'd still like to be called Detective Williams. You can call Steve Commander Neanderthal, cuz I guess he's earned it and all. And the lovely Miss Spencer should definitely be referred to as Special Agent.

This is for official business, of course in casual settings, you may call us by our names.

I guess since it looks like we're stuck here for awhile, we should all get to know each other. I'm Danny Williams and I like to give nicknames, obviously.

I know I've probably said this at least fifty times now, but I need a drink.

You have exactly ONE minute to tell me how I got here and where Katherine Pierce is before I start ripping out hearts.

Explain, now. Or I'll rip out every single beating heart that I come across.

MY CAR! MY BEAUTIFUL FUCKING CAR! I HAVE NEVER BEEN SO HAPPY TO SEE AN INANIMATE OBJECT IN MY LIFE BEFORE!

Um, okay. I guess it was time to move again. I see Damon's stuff, but...well, I'm currently missing a boyfriend. He's almost 6' tall, has black hair, really blue eyes, he's extremely hot and can get angry. If you see him, please return him to me.

Also hi, I'm Elena. I'm really used to this sort of stuff now.

I'd just gotten home.

Oh, hell no! I did not just successfully graduate high school just to end up stuck in Pleasantville. Screw this.
