day 223 | i » video → open.
When I said I wanted to get out of Mystic Falls for a while, this wasn't exactly what I had in mind. Ruins of some ancient prison in Italy or China, maybe, but not underwater and in some alien dimension, or however the hell that's supposed to work. [ if he's getting the gist of this right. he's going by video game logic here. ]

And what happened to a trial by a jury of your peers? Is that not a thing on Planet X? Too human a concept for you? Is throwing eighteen-year-olds in prison for skipping a couple of classes back in high school [ and eradicating an entire vampire bloodline via staking finn mikaelson, but shhhh ] just something you do for fun around here?

[ just when things had calmed down and the world was returning to normal (or as normal as the world was capable of getting after everything that happened back home), this happens. it's just his luck, too. nothing ever stayed good for matt donovan. his life sucked, and it looks like graduating from high school meant it was only going to get suckier from here on out. ]

So much for the world tour.

Jer's a Hunter, Elena. [ god, this sucks. lying to her feels so wrong he can barely stand it. they've come too far for him to lie, yet he's doing so. because he firmly believes that he's protecting her, saving her from the thing that broke her so utterly and completely in ways she'll probably never fully heal from. ] A supernatural, now. You and I both know this ring doesn't work on supes.

	Oh my god. [ the words come after a pause, both devastated and concerned. rebekah told her about hunters. about the cure. about how neither of them got it. and now jeremy...? jeremy's just as supernatural as she is? ] How? Why? How could he be-? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ matt retracts a hand, running it over his face, though his hair. ] It's-- I don't know, Elena. Not exactly an expert on this stuff. After the first Hunter we came across died, these tattoos started showing up on his hands and arms... It chose him. He's been a potential since birth, or so legend has it, but who knows how true that is given how many of these things say they're gonna do this and end up doing that.

[ it's a lot to take in. she understands the meaning of matt's words. he was a potential since birth; they might not know the truth of it. it takes her a moment, and a breath, and then she accepts it. (she pushes aside her devastation and concern, all of what this means for jeremy's life and how it will change what normal he could have.

she knows she'll still fight for him to keep it.)

when she speaks, she's calmer and composed. ] Is he okay?

[ no. no because he's dead. matt wasn't there when jeremy died on that island, but the image of jeremy's dead, lifeless and decomposing body lying on that bed will haunt him until his own dying days. but instead, he tries to focus on what he knows about the veil being down -- jeremy wandering about happily, making plans to eat burgers with elena and alaric. maybe... mabye he was okay on the other side. (that was a lie he was feeding himself and he knew it, but right now he needed to buy the lie to feed it to elena.) ]

As okay as someone who's gotta cope with all these 'must kill vampires' instincts can be. He's a lot stronger and smarter than everyone gives him credit for.

[ elena not sure how okay that can be. maybe she needs to be told he's stronger and smarter than everyone gives him credit for - knowing what he must be going through is something she can only imagine. she's talked to sam about this before, about jeremy, and she remembers it now. it grounds her; you always need someone to look after you, no matter how strong and smart you are.

she exhales through it all: her worry and hurt for her brother. (does that mean he wants to kill her? it's an impulse? the implication flickers through her gaze.) ] So something in him wants to? Has he killed anyone?
