[ the best way to deal with finding out vampires are real (and that she was dating one) right before being kidnapped to a prison is to... ask someone what's going on here, despite being told in no uncertain terms. it's somehow still unbelievable.

that's what elena gilbert's doing. she's lost and maybe in a little bit of shock, and it shows: her eyes are constantly moving, taking in her surroundings; she's quiet, opting to listen rather than question, but if someone passes her, chances are you'll find a gentle hand on your arm and an: ] Excuse me, I... Do you know what's going on? [ she's nothing if not dogged after all; didn't she just leave her world questioning and challenging a vampire?

it's funny, how that's a welcome thought to any of this. at least at home, she was home. she had two feet on the ground, even if the world as she knew it was being changed and turned upside down. but it was her world, and she knew it. she knew about vampires, but she knew stefan too. she knew and had her friends, her family - jeremy. the thought of her brother has her throat closing in worry, concern, and longing. (she's so sorry she's not there for him.)

but she can't think of leaving jeremy right now. she has to think about her circumstances. ]

video.
[ later on, elena is still shaken but she pulls out her communicator with a readying inhale to try to contact someone - because that's the hope she's clinging to, that they might give her answers. ]

I'm told there might be people here like me. [ elena starts this off abruptly, after a moment of fidgeting with the device. it's not a mode of communication she's used to, but then again it's not as if any of this is something she's used to. and she thought vampires were shocking.

anyhow, her brows furrow and she backtracks. ] Not prisoners [ don't even let her get started on that ] but people from my world. I was hoping if anyone I know is here... [ she can't be selfish and yet she wishes for her aunt jenna, for her brother jeremy, for caroline or bonnie or matt. (and despite herself, she misses stefan too.) ] Anyway, I'm Elena. It's... nice to meet all of you. [ not really, but she's polite. ]

[When that hand lands upon his arm, causing him to pause in his tracks and he hears that all too familiar voice it feels impossible that he might have missed her. He might have walked right by, focused on his own thoughts and already filtering out the growing crowd in the prison.

But she did stop him. She found him, and for a moment he just looks down at her, unable to process the request. Lips parting as if to speak but not finding words. One try. Another. And then...]

Elena!

[Somewhere in the back of his mind—not even the distant back—he knows his next impulse isn't something he should follow through with. Those words are processing and the lack of recognition in those deep, dark eyes is even more telling, but before he can stop himself he is sweeping her into a hug. One he didn't know how much he needed.]

[ it's... different, his reaction, and the lost, distressed look on her face gives way to curiosity as he gapes at her. she about to follow her question up, maybe ask (with some relief) if he needs help too when, well. ] Uh- [ that's the only sound elena is able to get out before he's professing her name and his arms are wrapping her up.

if she's was in shock before, she's not sure what this is. it probably accounts for her temporary lack of reaction. her eyes widen and she raises her hands, the tips of her toes just barely on the ground. ] Whoa. [ she places her hands on sam's shoulders to gently nudge at him. ]

[There's a tightness in his throat as her reaction tells reaffirms everything he already knows. He forces himself back, removing his hands from her. He clears his throat, looking down before meeting those eyes again.]

Sorry. I... [I missed you? We never got a chance to talk after the dream? I didn't know if I'd see you again? I hoped you'd still remember? I've lost too many people? But none of them make sense now. All of them feel like a burden he'd be putting on her and the last thing she needs is another burden.]

I'm Sam.

[ she's not oblivious or numb to whatever pain he's feeling - on the contrary, those shining puppy eyes speak volumes she doesn't have the tools anymore to read aside from the obvious. because she's elena gilbert, she cares. she watches him, the familiar way he regards her and the strain he feels, and slowly lets her hands drop.

she takes a moment to shake her head, to shake the surreality of all this. ] Do I know you?

[ she's not sure if 'a lot' covers it. she was already considering this was all one horrible, incredible nightmare and now the idea that she knows - or used to know - someone she's never seen in her life... her lashes flutter.

elena presses a hand to her forehead, swallows thickly, and gestures in the general direction in which she came. ]

Well maybe you can explain to me what's going on. [ please explain this to her, sam. she's looking up at you like maybe you can (plus a healthy dose of wariness) if you claim to know her. ] Because I just woke up in an underwater prison.

	[Where does he even start? How does he try to bring "underwater prison" into something understandable?] The wardens bring people here [And here comes more strange. Is it going to send her running away?] from different worlds and realities and times. I wish I could tell you it's a dream, but it's real. [There's a pause.] Just as real as vampires.

[ there's shock and fear in her expression, in the rounding of her eyes. she barely processes 'different worlds and realities and times' past understanding the concept; maybe that's why what sam tacts on about vampires is what truly stuns and scares her.

her heart beat picks up. how does he-? what does he want? (she thinks of stefan and how she promised to keep his secret. she thinks of his safety.) ]

That- None of that is real.

	[ she doesn't know if she can trust him, but there's something jarring and telling about he easily and quickly he reads her, how familiar he is. she glances down, weighs all of this. her question is said with determination, with resolve: ] How do you know me? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

You've been here before. [Or a version of her. It can get complicated if he lets it and while the thoughts are there, he pushes them away for now.] They must have taken your memories when you disappeared. It happens sometimes, but we were friends. Caroline was here too. [He should tell her Bonnie is still here. He should, but... It can wait. It's selfish, but isn't ready to see her leave. Not if today is what he thinks it is and tomorrow most of these people if not all of them will be gone again.]

	[Carol doesn't know who this girl is, probably isn't from her world, but she feels moved to at least reach out and offer a little comfort, even if she isn't the target of the address.] Hello, Elena. My name is Carol. What did you mean by, people like you? (Reply to this)

[ Damon watched her video broadcast thingy; got a quick view of where Elena Gilbert's at and it's why he's here now, standing a good few feet away to watch her like the creeper he is before he decides to get her attention by clearing his throat. ]

Hello. [ Kitty had informed him earlier that, like him, Elena's been here before and had gone missing in some weird machine or whatever. Apparently the Defense Force is investigating that and probably has been trying to since the day Kitty got here. Suffice to say, he's got almost zero confidence they'll be able to crack that puzzle. ]

Trust the lovely Elena Gilbert to end a communication with a bunch of criminals with a cutesy and oh so sweet: it's nice to meet all of you. Inmate of the year. I think we've got a winner.

[ she didn't remember. sookie's expression softened as she regarded elena's image on the screen. perhaps it was for the best that she didn't, as the poor girl had been dragged unfairly through so much in this place. regardless of whether or not going through all that made her stronger, elena deserved to have a normal life. and that wasn't something sookie was going to shatter. ]

About as nice as running into people in a transdimensional prison can be. [ a gentle smile. ] I'm Sookie. I'm not a prisoner — well, I used to be, but not any more. I went home some time ago. Not quite sure why they brought me back here.

[ probably just to visit. visiting was good. there was too much going on back in bon temps to stay here longer than the day visitors were allowed. ]

[This is unusual, the number of people that happen to be around. Martha remembers it happening a few months before though - lots of people showing up and then all disappearing the next day. She's looking around for the Doctor, because he would show up on today of all days, but so far there's been no tall gangly men with fantastic hair.

There is however, a familiar head of long brown hair just ahead of her.]

Elena? Is that you?
