Lincoln River Network

Not everything is as it seems in Lincoln River. New people are arriving every day and, with them, they bring their secrets and their lies.

There's a werewolf living in Archibald Street and full moon is only a week away. What, oh, what will we do? Thank goodness these Summer days are long.

Is that the sound of a baby crying? The nights might not be so peaceful around Archibald Street any more, now that little Miranda Rose is in the world. Then again, wouldn't we all cry if we weren't even sure what species we were?

I'm not getting remarried to Elijah because it's pointless with you two, but you're invited over for dinner. With food. Not people. I know, you're both so excited.

( Look at her! )

Isn't she the most beautiful thing in the world? Except maybe her amazing mom.

Rebekah, darling. I'm bored. When is that doppelganger whore supposed to give birth? We need to find something small and furry to slaughter and leave on her doorstep.

It never fails to surprise me how selfish some idiots are.

[Private to Klaus, Rebekah and Katherine]

Have you completely lost your mind in breaking up with that girl, Niklaus? Do you honestly give a lick what her friends think? You're really going to let them get in the way of you being happy and you MAKING her happy? Have you gone completely mad?

You promised me a drink.

Funny thing. I have this shiny new phone, but I can't seem to contact, like, anyone I know. Someone want to tell me why that is?

Hm, Suburbia. This must be hell. I'm living in a fucking cottage for fuck's sake. I don't do cottages.

[ooc: posted at night after he arrives]

Is there someone I can pay to make this month go faster? I'm so done with waiting. No one ever said patience was one of my very few and far between virtues.

This place reeks of boredom. I actually miss Mystic Falls. How the hell does one do that?

Would anyone like to go out to dinner or something? I'm bored and I'm not an animal person of desperate need of fun.

Katerina and I now have a new house on 23 Grace Street.

We will have a house warming party soon.

[Katerina]

To celebrate our new home, our new found freedom, the return of family and our upcoming wedding...I took it upon myself to buy you a present or two.

Sixteen years.

Life is exceptionally good.

I am waiting for the sell of Katerina's house to go through so that we can buy our house together. She is considering opening up a shop here too, which I am more than happy to oblige her with.

I, myself, am considering looking into teaching a teaching job at the local college if it is at all possible. If we are indeed stuck in this quaint little town, might as well have something to do everyday rather than sit around and do nothing. Now that I have the freedom to relax and not look over my shoulder, I intend to enjoy myself.

Is everyone else enjoying their stay here or looked into possible employment?

Hello Grace. Your daddy has asked me to talk to you.

Look, I'd really appreciate it if people wouldn't terrorize my daughter, even in a joking manner. She's eleven. Where we're from, vampires and all that do not exist. It's taking time to get used to it, here. I'm trying. I'm letting Caroline watch Grace, that's a big step.

Also, if you're going to talk about certain things...I would really appreciate it if you filtered it from children.

Thank you for your time and attention.

Throwing a party tonight. At my house, late. Anyone can come.

Except for kids. No kids. Kids should be in bed.

I'm getting married all over again.

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.
