War Is Coming Communications.

[Rebekah]

So I'm in need of some very girly get pampered time in the form of like a massage and probably a mani and a pedi. Wanna go with me?

[Klaus]

Are you feeling any better today?

[Matty]

This is my neurotic check in post to make sure you're as okay as you can be in an Apocalypse?

Most of you are from my future.

None of you have been holding back anything about my mom, have you?

Anyone else wondering exactly what we're supposed to do during all this apocalypse stuff? I wish Elena was still

[ETA filter to Caroline]

Tossing around some ideas with people. How do you think you'd do helping organize a blood drive?

So, being a relative newby and not really seeing anything this place likes to throw at us besides the whole steal our coffee and alcohol, what can a girl expect when Lucifer brings out the big guns? Some of you have been around for ages and some of you have just fought Lucifer or beings like Lucifer before so pointers are always good, right?

Do we keep living our lives until he finally strikes?

I'm guessing from the volcano and storm and the fact we're gathering supplies that we're assuming he'll be throwing his hissy fit sometime soon, but anyway, tips are always awesome?

Zatanna, is there a way for you to maybe take Vicki back to the complex and magically shield her so she can go home sooner and not have to wait around til nightfall?

Vicki, you're going home today, love. You need to be with Matt and I need to be with my siblings. Tonight if we have to wait, but, well, I'll be honest, there's no telling how much time any of us have before this war really gets rolling now.

[Siblings]
I warned them. I told them they wouldn't have all the time to have everything figured out before it started. And it's barely begun.

(ETA) [Matt]
Got a car? Your sister's coming home today and Zatanna's willing to spell a car so we can get her there sooner rather than later.

I just wanted to see how you're doing. And if you need anything. Like food? Or alcohol though maybe not tha. Or anything.

And Vicki is going to be around on Friday night. I'm having meet and greet kinda thing for all the vampires here and she and Kol are coming. Maybe you can see her too? Maybe that would help. I'm worried about yo

Just an update. This exposure therapy thing? It's working pretty well so far. You'd be surprised how quickly she's taken to it, actually. I'd be as bold to say by next week sometime, we'll be done here.

Castiel managed to get into contact with Death.

He's willing to hand his ring over, but he's named a price. It's too high. We'll have to find another way to get it from him.

You're probably with Jeremy, but can we maybe hang out later this week?

[Stefan]
Can I come over, please?

[Screw evil and the douchebag Originals and Katherine]

Screw this place up the ass.

[Texts meant for Matt sent to Klaus]
›› Do you want to do lunch with Elena and me on Wednesday?

[Texts meant for Klaus sent to Kol]
›› Blue, red, or white?
›› I’m not telling you what for
›› Just answer the question.

[Texts meant for Kol sent to Matt]
›› How’s Vicki?
›› This aversion therapy isn’t a form of torture, right?
›› Because I really don’t want to have to kick your ass if it is.

[Texts to Vicki]

>> Hey.
>> How's it going?
>> Is Kol being a jer
>> Do you need anything?

You know, I get curious sometimes. About how things are back home. What's in store for me if I get sent back. Sometimes, I should just ignore my curiosity.

My sister is alive. I can't even process that. And Artie knew, he knew all along and didn't tell me.

A few days of French class and while I feel like I am learning way more than four years of high school Spanish ever managed to teach me, I also feel like I could be learning so much more. And I got the awesome suggestion to like do stuff with our native French speakers and I was thinking this could be fun! I think you guys hang out at the Inn place a lot. Can anyone go and just hang out and do their homework so they can immerse themselves in the whole French language?

[Rebekah]

This is probably like really random and weird and a whole slew of other things, but I was watching TV last night while reading stuff for class and suddenly realized that you have so never done a proper girl’s night slumber party thing. Because you know, your brother is an overprotective ass who daggered you for like nearly a century and you missed out on the whole sleepover, drinking, painting nails, watching cheesy movies thing.

And its needed.

So. Do you want to do one? Like obviously it’d include you and me. And I was thinking maybe Lexi and Rose too.

What do you say?

[This was supposed to happen yesterday, so let's just pretend it did?]

Happy birthday, Elena. Hope you have a good one.

So we're going to try this thing to get me not go crazy over blood and so I won't almost hurt people or anything. It's starting Monday and I won't be around for a while. You can still reach me on my phone, though, and I can check the network from it.

[Sam Winchester + Bobby Singer]
Hi. Um, Kol is going to try this thing with me that will keep me from going crazy over smelling blood again, where I get desenitized against it and can be around it. I just wanted to let you two know so you don't think you have to kill m.

Think we'll be ready to start your training soon. I've got an abandoned house picked out, now it's just a matter of securing the area a bit. Be ready by Monday, love.

[Elijah]
Brother dear, I have a question for you.

[Magic users]
Training a vampire in lessons of control. I've got it handled, only I need the house I've secured for said training to be made so no one gets in and Vicki can't get out. May also want to soundproof the house, just in case. Anyone care to help a bloke out?

[Matt]
I can't believe I'm even Almost all set for your sister. Working on getting a few magic barriers around the house we'll be in and...likely starting Monday.

[trolltexts to Caroline]
»Hello, gorgeous
»What are you doing tonight?
»Thinking of me, I hope.

I'm still in amazement that some of you guys are the reason I'm getting to go to school. Seriously -- thanks to everyone who contributed to that scholarship fund.

[Text to Caroline]

Thank you for the flask. It's awesome. I'm glad you're back.

[Text to Elena]

You wanna catch a movie Friday night?

I think now all the details are worked out and we can officially announce this.

I know we have a lot of school-aged teens here, and a few young college kids. Not all of you are bringing in the big money or have had the chance to bauble wish your way into school funds yet. And frankly, I don't think anyone should be denied the chance to go to college if they've worked for it.

So with the help of the displaced community in general, we've put together a fund for those of you who'd like to study in college but aren't sure how you're going to pay for it. I know it's rather last minute, but if you've already enrolled, the deadline to put the deposit down on your classes isn't until Monday, at least at KU. I've done my research. If you're looking at the community college, you actually have an additional week to enroll.

If you haven't enrolled yet, get with Claudia or Connor, they may be able to sneak you into the system delayed. But consider your way there paid for.

And thank you, Svetlana, for all your help in this. And everyone who contributed.

[Friends]

Okay, good deed for the day done. Anyone willing to try and sneak an infant into a hospital? He gets all emo when she's not around. It's actually horrifically cute
