A, whoever you are, you've got to try a lot harder than that.

[Lydia Martin]

I find I am in need of a little assistance.

Okay. I think I'm using this thing right now. Took me a couple days, but I think I got it. Technology's never been my strong suit.

Either way, I'm Korra, and I'd really like to know who has my powers right now, as I read something people are switching powers around apparently.

So, if you woke up and were able to control earth, wind, air, and fire, congratulations, you're the new Avatar. And I seem to be faster, stronger, and I want to drink blood. Blood.

So...yeah. I'd really like to know what I am now. Thanks.

OOC: If you think you should be on the first half of the filter, then feel free to assume you are. The second half should be pretty obvious :)

Okay. Someone should be taking point on this, huh?

How many of us are missing our mojo right about now?

This can't be good.

[Marcel]

I'm not sure what the hell I got, but let me tell you it's... weird.

I'm uh going to just lock myself in my room until this ends okay.

Okay.

Alright, listen up.

I get the feeling a lot of you guys who have just woken up as vampires are probably pretty confused. And, what's worse is, you've not just woken up newbie vamps. You've woken up as newbie vamps, with the strength of old vamps. So, you really have a lot to learn on how to control it.

So, we're here to help. Most of us have had centuries to deal with the thirst, and how to manage it without killing.

So, to start up. I'm going to need you all to fess up. If you can see this, and you weren't sure what that thirst you were feeling was. Well, now you do. Let me know here, and we'll do our best to help you out.

Hey there,

I know I've not been around a lot lately. But, I took over organising the Charity Ball that Caroline had been doing before the seal took her. So, I've been crazy busy.

But, I think I've got all the details worked out. So, put April 24th in your calendars people. And, lets raise some money for the new kid's library.

Oh, and before I forget. It's a masquerade ball. So, don't forget to get yourself a mask.

Well, things here certainly aren't any less eventful than New Orleans, that is for certain.

Niklaus.

I find myself restless.

Would you care to join me in dispatching of some of these nuisances?

Hayley.

I wish to see you and Hope, when you have time.

I know I have been keeping to myself, but I hope that we can talk about some things.

I've been here long enough now that I think I need to start doing something useful. Instead of just hanging out and figuring out where all the best nacho places are. I'm still going to maintain that goal, but I need to do something else with my time too.

So, job sites here I come.

Right, question, what are we doing about that vampire's leftovers? Because there's a dead body in the alley behind Bed of Roses and I'd guess this might not be the kind of thing we want to call the police for.

[Filtered to Bonnie]

Do you want to meet? Maybe we could practise together, in case they need magic to help with this vampire drama?


[Filtered to Marcel]

Same drama, different place, huh?


[Filtered to Cami]

Can I ask your advice on something?

Kol Mikaelson is apparently extremely ungracefully he manage to trip over himself and knock himself out.

I'm not exactly sure how he managed that one, but he's breathing, and alive.

Oh and he's not a fan of water being dumped on his head.

I'm looking forward for what this town has in store for St. Patrick's Day.

[Alicia]
Ms. Spinnet, oh favorite bartender of mine, is there anything to look forward to at my favorite bar?

So I'm guessing this is some kind of Seal bullshit - putting everyone in costumes, giving us paintball guns - and we all know the Seal's a douchebag but just in case there was any doubt...

It's funny, really. Time passes and our perceptions of the past change. We often rewrite our histories, whether to ease our pains or to paint ourselves in a better light or for any of a myriad of reasons. We shape our own pasts and often it is the lies we tell ourselves that define us moreso than our truths. Honesty is such a difficult thing that we are rarely honest, even with ourselves.

And then, in an instant, we can remember. And know the truth about ourselves and the world. And, in that instance, everything changes and the way we see things is irrevocably altered. And we must reexamine ourselves and see if there is a way to fit into our old lives.

I am undone, brother. Our mother has made me into something I have never wanted to be. A monster. And yet, I cannot truly blame her. This was inside me all along, carefully hidden behind a mask I have worn for all too long. She merely made me remove that mask and acknowledge what was underneath.

I am sorry. I should not trouble you with this. I imagine there is quite a lot on your own mind, things being as they are. If there is anything I can do for you, you only need ask.

But there are things I must tell you, when you are ready to hear them.

hayley.

I am sorry.

I know that I should see you. I want to see you. But I cannot.

There is something wrong with me, a sickness inside me, and I would not subject you to that. I should not even presume, given how things have been between us of late, but I care for you too much to risk it. You deserve better than a broken man

alexia.

I need your help.

Has anyone seen Caroline today?

Kol Mikaelson? If you're here, you owe me one Hell of an explanation.

[Hayley & Marcel]

Do either of you know Kenzi?

I think Rebekah's gone again.

Can the hug-agram sending asshole please stand up? Because I'd really like to thank you personally for sending me a driveby naked man-baby. That's awesome. Totally.

You know what else is Like Totally Awesome? Sending hug-agrams to the house with the hungry angry monster baby. Because I really didn't need to spend another hour getting her back to sleep after the terrible hugging invader woke her up. There's no point at which singing There's No Cats In America and rocking a grumpy five month old gets even a little bit tiresome. I'm going to be sending you both our therapy bills after this, buddy.

Donations of coffee and earplugs gratefully accepted.


[Cami & Marcel]
I'm sorry. She'll tire herself out eventually. But something about that guy has her creeped out.

Plus side, she's going to have a hell of a pair of lungs when she's old enough to sing rather than just howl.

Oh fuck me Is this another stupid devil trick? Oh hell, is this NOT another stupid devil trick? I'm honestly not sure which is worse

Can anyone even see this? Testing Testing One Two

Someone want to explain to me what's going on?

Hal? Tom? Are you around here somewhere?
