She knew some of you. So, here's all I'm gonna say: Elena's gone. Nope, I'm not talking about it. Yes, I'm okay. And no, I don't need to be second guessed on it.

I do, however, have a hell of a stash of bourbon that's calling my name

Damon Salvatore

I'm sorry doesn't even seem like enough right now, but I am.

Emmeline Vance

This sucks so much. I forgot how much this part sucked.

Guess I'm going to need a new job, different world and all.

Anyone know a good bar that's hiring? Bouncer or bartender. I can do either or both.

SALVATORE HOUSE RESIDENTS.

I have a very important question for you all.

Are you dog people or cat people?

Emmeline

Damon told So, hey.

26 NOVEMBER 2017 | ON BASE ROSE HATHAWAY ✦ DAMON SALVATORE BFFs REUNITED AFTER MONTHS APART PG | Reference to violence Complete

( I hope you saved me some pie. )

Hello, Tumbleweed. I'm Stefan Salvatore. I understand I was here before, so I'd like to apologize if I should know you and I just don't remember. This has all been a little tough to wrap my head ahead, but I'm glad to meet all of you.

Caro
Emme

Damon

I expect a real tour when I get out of here tomorrow, brother.

Hello, fresh air! It's only been two days, but I missed you, okay?

And hi, Tumbleweed, I guess it's been awhile. I see a bunch of new faces, so if you didn't know me before, hey, I'm Rose and it's nice to meet you.

Damon's taking me on a tour to show me what's changed and then we're going for drinks... somewhere. I don't know, he can tell you where, but if you want to join us, come on by.

This is a hell of a lot more comfortable than traveling by tesseract, but I gotta say I'm not digging this whole quarantine thing. Tempted to ask for something crazy just to see how far they'll go

Also, New York to small town Texas? Kinda feels like a step down.

FILTERED TO DAMON SALVATORE, ELENA GILBERT & CAROLINE FORBES

Just a heads up. Stefan's back.

FILTERED TO LILY POTTER

Stefan's back and doesn't remember, again.

Well. At least I'm conscious this time.

Damon, Daisy, Emme, Ollie, Jaina, Liss... you guys still here?

Not so sure I'm ready for December. Going to the store could be murder~

FILTER: M&M & ELENA GILBERT
So. Thursday. Stomachs ready? I'm going all out.

So, what are everyone's plans for Thanksgiving? I'd be up for a Friendsgiving.

I guess it was too much to ask to have a night where I can relax.

Though I will say the whole showing up on a different Earth is new to me.

My name's Lara [...] Croft.

FILTERED TO ELIOT WAUGHT

Drinks. Now.

FILTERED TO LILY POTTER

Want to get away this weekend? Spa. I'm thinking New York or Los Angeles.

FILTERED TO DAMON SALVATORE

Guess who's single now?

FILTERED TO REMUS LUPIN

Will you be at the Cottage tonight?

WHO: George Camarine and Damon Salvatore
WHERE: The Roadhouse
WHEN: Back when Jo was out of town. (This is how slow Kim is to finish logs.)
WHAT: A spy meets an ex-vampire
RATING: PG
STATUS: completed

( ... )

Well this is just wonderful.

Lissa, Rose, Dimitri? Are you here?
Adrian? Sydney?

FILTERED TO 'GOOD' VAMPIRES
Hey, my name's Christian.
What do you all do for blood here?
I typically have donors but I can make do with blood bags.

That movie night might be fun.

So apparently the real reason I died was because some asshole programmed his phone to make robocalls when the comic book company asked people to vote on whether a fifteen-year-old kid should be murdered or not.

If anybody's looking for me, I'll be at the bar, breaking my own rules about alcohol.

Anyone got a map I can borrow?

FILTERED TO DAMON SALVATORE

Hey, buddy. Do you have plans tomorrow?

FILTERED TO LILY POTTER

I need advice on guys. [...] I sound 17 again.

FILTERED TO REMUS LUPIN

Who is this mystery girl that you're dating and how did I not know about this?

Well, I enjoyed the Farmer's Market and stocked up on plenty of fresh vegetables and fruit.

[Damon]

Heading out on a hunt with Sam and Kate. Don't let the bar get burned down.

I think I'm going to check out the Farmer's Market this weekend. Anyone want to join?

friends & elena gilbert

Think I'm going stir crazy. Anyone wanna get outta dodge with me for the weekend?

[Damon]

Since the town's gotten bigger, we're getting busier. What do you think of hiring on another bartender or two?

It seems the majority of people are back to normal at least.

Baby's first smile. First in a long list of things he'll never se

Does the new art store got lil scrapbooking stuff in it too? I need to update Anka Irene's book. Figure its better to support local businesses instead of buying off amazon.

[EPS staff]

Y'all should've received your welcome back email/mailed packet by now as well as an updated class roster list. There might be a few changes to it here on out, depending on new arrivals and such, but I reckon it's probably who you're gonna be getting.

I'm gonna suggest bringing caffeine of some sort for the welcome back meetings on Wednesday. Scott can tend to go on about things some.

Really glad I did not go back into Funhouse. Creepy.

Has anyone seen Stefan or Daisy? They're not answering their phones.

I'm also no longer 17. She was happier back then and

I got a few questions.

Is the EMS or the THS hiring a school counselor? I've got experience.

And secondly, anyone want to go out and get wasted on a Tuesday night?

Since we're causing a burden on the people here when it comes to resources, has anyone thought about us maybe relocating somewhere else? A large city would be easier for us to blend into.

Damon? Care? Anyone? Where did the entire town go?

To those of you in the minority, I am sorry. I know what the time period I was raised in - and this one - does to your rights. I can't really even begin to understand the outrage or the fear you must be feeling. But I've lived through this time period. I've traveled extensively. I can weasel my way in with the people here. But what I want more than anything is to help.

If I can walk with you, I will walk with you. If you need me to come and get you, I'll do that too. Doesn't matter where or when, okay? I'll help.

I know Matt got the start of watches put in place last night, but with knowing the town has an idea of where we're located, we might wanna be upping that a bit.

Anyone able to shield the area from others entering that ain't ours? Or setting up some sort of security perimeter around the new shelter we got going?

And I'd say don't travel without a buddy. Preferably more'n one person just in case anything does happen.

Following what everyone's been saying, definitely Tumbleweed but in the past. Damon, Daisy and I were exploring the North side, we breached the mountains and found nothing but desert, no people up in this area either.

There's probably going to be a few of us, myself included, that aren't familiar with the history. I've seen some explanations already, so any help for those of us out of the know, it would be appreciated.

This is Ahsoka Tano. I'm able to connect to our network, which has been active in most worlds we've landed in, and I'm writing this in the hopes that someone else is out there. I've landed in a pod that seems to have some sort of power dampener. I was unable to use the Force while in it, but after releasing myself, I feel back to normal.

If you're out there, please let me know. I don't know what kind of world we've landed on, but the terrain seems extra dry with the potential to be hostile. If others are out there, I want to find you; there's safety in numbers.

I never thought I'd be so dang excited to get 4 hours of uninterrupted sleep. But its definitely a milestone I'm real happy to have hit.

I ain't even gonna be greedy and ask more. Anything is better than an hour up and an hour asleep.

Another day, another article about Mrs. Ramirez's cat stuck in one of Tumbleweed's four trees. You think the cats would learn! I'll be at the play tonight to cover, by the way. Big article about the community coming together for the summer.

[DAMON S. + SCOTT S.]

Just so you know. There are six layers of physical security I would have to circumvent to get to the military datafiles. Which means, without a team, I can't do it. So, it all depends on how bad you want what they've got. Anything else you wanna find out?

[ROGUE L., ALBUS SEVERUS, DAMON, EMMA F.]

Let us agree that Scott's way is the path of least resistance and the one which we can all agree is that which is best for us all. But I don't for a moment believe that the path we take will be easy, nor best.

I believe we should be prepared to work around - or in spite of - the law in Tumbleweed to protect our people in case one seizure turns into many, and without cause. I would understand completely if you do not wish to go down this road. But if you don't, I would ask that you leave me with the name of someone close to you who would.

[ORORO, PETER]

Stay close to my cabin or the mansion. And if you need me, I will be there.

[HOPE]

Have you taught Sorcha to retrieve?

House Salvatore

So, we've all read the homework by now, right? Need everyone to be at the house tonight. Not to go all Full House on you, but it's time for a family meeting.

P.S., yes this means I'm delaying taking the cure again. Universe is a bitch, etc, etc.

Friends (*Assume away!) + Vampires

So. Pamphlets. All nice and read? Good. Now, I'm not one for big group meetings like the other day, but I was there. It was important. I listened. I wanna hear your takes if you were there, and if you weren't - let's talk about 'paranoia, paranoia, the government could be coming to get me' crap they sent us.

Hypothetical.

What are the odds that people from our worlds have been coming here for long enough that they've spread out? I mean, we're sticking around here, but what if people before us thought Tumbleweed was boring (understatement) and decided to leave.

What if some of them weren't, you know, necessarily benevolent?

Well, the parade and the firework show was beautiful and certainly epic. The carnival was iffy though.

[Filtered to Matt Murdock + Kitty Pryde, Emma Frost]

I'm interesting in hiring you to represent a young mutant in an illegal detention case against the base in town. I'd need you at the base ASAP. Is this something you're comfortable representing or should we look elsewhere?

[Filtered to Mutants + XMR]

Situation: The military has taken Rogue (the younger) into custody over a visible use of her powers in helping clean up after the carnival. While this has not been illegal at any point and she was clearly using her abilities in a gesture of good will, tensions in town since Wanda's incident are undeniable. And following Remy's run-in on Monday, the situation is definitely escalating.

We're having a MANDATORY meeting tonight at the mansion, 1930 hours in the Situation Room to refresh safety and invisibility protocols, legal rights, and discuss our next course of action and concerns. We're currently assembling a legal team and will take this fight as public as necessary. We have also invited representatives from other displaced groups to this meeting.

[Filtered to Emma Frost, Jean Grey, Kitty Pryde, Sam Wilson, Natasha Romanoff, Albus Potter, Bill Weasley, Diana Prince, Percy Jackson, Padmé Amidala, Leia Organa-Solo, Daisy Johnson, Emmeline Vance, & Damon Salvatore]

We can't be the only ones noticing the increased tensions between the townsfolk, the military, and superpowered individuals since the "gas leaks" of the past few months, but in the past week, we've had two incidents of our kids being officially accosted for benign if not beneficient use of their abilities in public. The incident today led to our younger member being taken into Military custody where she still is.

This is something all of our groups need to be aware of and be actively discussing. We can't ignore this clear escalation. We're having a meeting at 1930 hours and inviting you lot as representatives of your groups to get us all on the same page before discussing this with the community at large. I think we've hit most of the larger groups but if anyone else needs to be here, invite them.

So, hi. My name is Daisy Johnson. But I hear a lot of you already know that because I've been here like, what? Two times. Most recently I was here for almost a year. This is what I've learned from the nice people who are asking me to stay in one place and wait out 'quarantine'. Which, okay.

This is real, right? This isn't the framework. If we were friends before, I hope we can be friends again. If we were not friends before, um. Blank slate?

Caroline? Damon? I'm here now. I know it isn't the first time.

Hello to all of you.

When Elena disappeared, I was ready to throw in the towel on this humanity-having thing. Forgot that the whole point of where I am now is because of the people who managed to dig their way under my skin, people like Daisy Dukes. Must've been one of the first friends I made here, her and Rose. Can't say I'm interested in going to any memorials, lighting off lanterns, or whatever brings people some temporary salve of peace. Never worked for me. I am gonna listen to her though. Eventually. Didn't have that many people back home that rooted for me, rang in about three to my name with the occasional guest appearance of my own brother. For good reason.

I got lucky here. Still am. So, I'm gonna listen to my best girl Dukes and stick my neck out there for people even if my every instinct is telling me to take Elena and run. Universe'd catch up with me anyway.

filter: elena gilbert & m&m

So. Dukes was hanging on to the cure for me. Think I'm ready to take it and thought my other two best girls should know that.

Well the Pre-Pride Parade party was fun last night. I enjoyed the silent auction.

Lincoln isn't here anymore. He went home. We were together when it happened, so you don't need to look for him, okay?

Logan, we won't be needing that camping equipment. Thanks for the willingness.

Bobby Singer was sent home.

So, bucket list. It's a grouping of things a person wants to do before they "kick the bucket" -- and I think it's a cool idea. Bucket lists help you consider the unknown around you and even help you plan beyond the little sphere that becomes your life. There's a lot of us here that are kind of searching for meaning, I think? Like, you are this or that person in this other place and now that you can be anybody it's hard to figure out what you are and how you get to be who you are with pure independence.

What are some of the things that you are really excited to get to learn about yourself? What are the steps you're taking to achieve that independence? Cause generally I think a bucket list requires some independent concept of self -- which takes a f*ck-it list, first.

Like, I've always wanted to be a person that looks forward and isn't wholly defined by my past. And I've always wanted to care less about what other people think of me, instead focusing on how I perceive myself. I've also always wanted to be a journalist (score one -- I am a journalist here!). I've also wanted to stand-up paddleboard on the Yellowstone River. So. What about you?

[DAMON]

Dude. I'm thinking of you.

[LINCOLN]

Super good job bringing life into the world, hot doctor.
