Before Ollie was sent home, we were planning a charity event at Verdant. A big part of that was a kind of date auction, but I seem to have lost most of my volunteers, so... if you're willing to have a few hours of your company auctioned off for a good cause, please let me know.

I miss him

Again?

Someday this infernal place will be done with me

Hmm, so maybe it's a silver lining in my case that no one from my world is here. Never was, actually. It's always been just me all this time. Which is probably for the best since most of them would plot and scheme to kill me, while the loyal ones would berate me on why five years have gone by without me even making an attempt at a takeover Maybe I don't want to be bound by prophecies from some old book, did they ever think of that The recent trouble with the ghosts has made me realize how much I missed some people. It brought back a lot of past memories. And made me question if I can be a hero when my parentage was the opposite, does doing enough good make up for that in the end

So, since no one from my world is here, and I can still see some people. Let me know if you need a message or something delivered to your friends and I'll go take care of it for you. If it happens to be anyone in Greaves House, the Center, or the training/classes locations, it'd be even easier since I'm often around those areas.

Been back a couple days, the hunt was a success. Can't say the ghosts were a good experience. A lot, some of which I'd never met before. And some I would not have intended to die, but the followers did that, or my father had Either died for me, or because of me, but some? They were first trying to kill me. I had to. Most of them took place when I was a child, confused and not truly understanding the special ability stuff. It would seem that anyone with beyond human talents is viewed as a freak or evil, kinda like the Salem trials. Soldiers fight to the death for survival all the time, mine was also self preservation, or they were threats and planned to kill me or help those who would

One was actually my stepmom, and she had killed my uncle. And probably a lot of other people too. And to be fair she was also the Whore of Babylon, so as such she was ordained to die anyway at some point Also saw Bugenhagen, the old man who started the whole thing against me which the others followed on. Always wanted to meet him to tell him what I really think, and now I have. And Mark was Wanted to see him but not like I wanted him to live but I couldn't keep control of the power, it was too m

Good thing I have lots of iron and salt. This really.. it hasn't been good. After my 50 years in Hell, and now having my past come back to kill me yet again, things I hadn't thought about in a long time came right back to the surface again. Reminding me of what I had used to have and lost. Oh, and it was my birthday today. Yay, huzzah. Thank you very goddamn much for not giving me peace these few days so I can enjoy it I'd like to do something to celebrate soon. But not just yet, I wish to hold off on it first, hold onto my iron in case the spirits come back yet again for the tenth or eleventh time. Kinda lost count. Haven't even slept much, really.

I woke up to this this morning...twice:

( Cut, not filtered )

My new pet count is as follows: one dog, two cats and eight otters. At least I think it's only eight. There may be more otters I don't know about. We'll see as the weather gets warmer.

ow fucking demons

I can't fucking win, can I? I can't actually have a chance at being happy with someone, can I?

I'm going out of town for a while. Road trip. Don't know when I'll be back.

[Georgina]

I'll make it a point to be back before the summer stuff really kicks into gear at the Center, but I think you can handle stuff right now. I just need to get the hell out of Lawrence for a while. Ginny got taken back and I'm not going to handle that well if I'm here.

[Rose]

Hey, when you get done with the hunting gig, message me or text me. I'm going out with my bike and I'm going to see how far I can go before I stop hating the Seal. I probably won't be in Kansas whenever you're done.

Right. So, things have been let slide with the crap that's been going on. I dunno about you lot, but I need to get out of here.

So, here's a bunch of hunts for you all to chose from. Bobby's old proviso's apply. You have to have done the classes. And, any first timers need an experience partner. Everyone has a partner. No exceptions!

So, pick one, and find a partner.

• Denver
  
• Illinois
  
• Massachussetts - Alicia and Emma
  
• Virginia - Katniss, Johanna (maybe) and Tamsin
  
• Miami - Rose and Dimitri
  
• Chicago - Levi and Damien
  
• California - Bobbi, May and Tasha
  
• New Orleans - Caroline and Klaus
  
• Texas - Sam and Dean. You ain't got a choice, Sammy.

[Ruby]

I'm kidnapping my brother.

[Sammy]

We need this, Sammy.

Goddammit. I don't like being trapped! That's what it was. Stuck in a show, playing a role and hoping you get it right. Which I think I did. I mean, I was working the beat and compiling gained info to send in to a superior, generally doing my job and following orders.. and so now I'm back here. Free at last. Never thought I'd be so glad to be back, I'm myself, I have my powers, and my job. Speaking of powers.. I'm having a need to go and release some of that anger somewhere.

I assume there was a point? Playing roles. But I thought I'd already been trying to do that. So maybe I haven't done enough. I thought I had, but maybe I'm mistaken. Fine, guess I'll fix that. But how I always give at the fundraisers here, donating, and ready to go hunting anytime we got one lined up, and usually one of the first always ready to help join a team to stop baddies Maybe I can write up an outline of goals or something, I don't know Did we miss anything while in TV Land, though? Any threats. Any villains coming via Seal, or updates on Raphael, or another Apocalypse, or hunts, anything important.

Oh. I need to go check on my company, see that it's still good and still ready to keep going on. But know what would be really cool. A party. Given what some of us had been through, I think we really deserve to celebrate surviving that whole mess. Possibly drinks which I'd buy, but a party in the apartments sound really good to have soon. But right now, I need to go be alone for a little bit Have issues about being confined or trapped in a place beyond control, even if I did get to help with fake justice on a show If anybody in Greaves House would like to make one happen, I'd be happy to help assist with that also.

Shit.

Giles is gone.

Turns out I'm just a grunt, a beginner at the job.. rookie. Still, least it's a decent cop show and not something like Training Day. Rookie in that one didn't do well in it. But this one? I think I'm doing alright. I think I do better than I am, but this is my role. Just have to keep at it. We need to clean these streets and keep the people safe! Let's put away some bad guys. Together, we can make a difference.

Damn, that was corny
But some rookies were idealistic

Anything I need to do more of to help with? I don't mind doing a bit of extra work if it will assist in improving things. As much as the rules and policies would allow me to do, anyway. But if I'm given orders, I follow This reminds me of my cadet days But I'm available for anything, just say the word and I'm on it.

How's the TV watching going, kids?

[Filtered to the Television Shows]

How's everyone doing? You figured it out yet?

It just hurts... I'm try...

So, there could be worse places to be. At least here I have friends and things to do, thank you Marcel for filling me on the upcoming event. It's going to be amazing. So everyone should be there. It's in two days at museum. I was impressed with the museum, I didn't really know what to expect but it's going to be a good space for the event.

I'm sure invites have been sent out, or at least I think me beforehand would have sent them already. If not, someone tell me. Please, so I can get on that right away.


[Bonnie | Elena]

So.

You two are helping set up right?

[Stefan]

I don't know if I can do this-

You're coming.

I feel like I just want it to go away. Everything, everything I'm feeling. Like I have to...

I've been weirdly reminiscent today. Like, looking over how I was when I got here and how I am now, thinking about the friends of mine I've lost. I definitely never would have expected to end up such an upstanding citizen when I first arrived, I can say that much. But despite the bad dream that brought all this on, I have to say, I've had a pretty good life here for the most part. I've got good friends and a good job and I'm happy. And I kind of want to celebrate in some way. Anyone feel up for an impromptu pizza and movies night Friday night?

[Rose H.]

Hey. How are you holding up?

[Participants In The Apocalypse]

Blame this coming up out of nowhere on a unpleasant dream last night, but I'm curious how many of us are left. I mean, when Khan made his post in December about honoring the sacrifices made, there were only a few of us who commented, and then we lost huge waves of people to the Seal. So I'm wondering just how many of us who are still here remember it.

Not having my abilities isn't too bad, I can do well enough on my own.. although they are useful. Probably wouldn't mind it being a temporary thing, except that they'd always been part of me. And it's not really a loss, but someone else out there has them. I really hope they're alright. I know it's not easy finding out you can do things that weren't possible before.. probably awesome, but I understand it's overwhelming a bit too. It certainly was for me once I found out myself years ago. I hope this changes back soon. Very soon, anyone else with my powers makes me worry more, what if it can't be contr So long as it's a good guy or girl and not a villainous type it may be alright and But until it does, I need to go do more weapons practice.

Any ideas on who this A is, and what they want? I can think of a word that starts with A, rhymes with class Do they intend to do something with those secrets, or is this just a "Letting you know that I know" type deal? I vote for finding them and putting a stop to this. If they knew about the tricycle incident, then they may also know of the Antichrist thing Look, I was five then, and technically under a trance state by my devil possessed nanny and I thought I was just a normal kid too I don't really know. Only thing that comes to mind is either Scarlet Letter, and superheroes and villains have a one-letter symbol on the costumes. I mean, I honestly don't even know if they're human or not. But if they know of me, have to wonder if they also think it's a good idea to threaten But the chocolate? Damn, that was better than any I had at home or here before.

Alright, folks. I've had experience with the occasional power swapping, losing, and gaining, so instead of everyone exclaiming and questioning what's happened, let's try to see if we can get things detailed a bit, shall we?

Please comment here if you have gained or lost powers, or if you suddenly have different powers than before. Please include when you first noticed this and what you were doing at the time, and if you did anything different from normal in, say, the last 24 hours or so.

I know that some of you are experiencing abilities that are confusing or frightening, and I'll help you however I can, and I would suggest those who have had those abilities speak up to help those who are new to them.

My patrol shift is in a few hours, so I'm about to go do some shooting practice. Did enough firearms for the week so I'm thinking I'll take an hour for arrow target efficiency instead, followed by some sword technique practice as well. I'm keeping my phone on just in case there's another emergency, just text me here [phone number] if anything comes up, or if any of my friends need anything. This needs fixed soon, people are dying and/or needing medical care, and we really need to find a location very soon goddammit I know this will be difficult, she knows us, knows how we work, so we might have to think outside the box and go for spontaneous or alternative strategy. Then again.. were I in her position, I'd be anticipating that as well. Damn. Maybe we should patrol in pairs, or even in threes if that would help.

[Kirk]
How are you feeling? I heard you were badly hurt, so I hope you're healing well now. I wish I'd been out there to help. But at least you're alive still. Just when one problem is solved, another is in its wake. If you need assistance with anything, let me know if you need anything and I'm there.

And I think there's something else. Maybe I'm being paranoid. But you know Catherine, the General Manager? Her room was by mine. Well.. umm. I haven't heard anything at all lately. No doors opening or closing to signify leaving the room or coming back, no footsteps, it's just.. quiet. I might see her around maybe once a day or every three days before. But I haven't for a while. Maybe she has been elsewhere for a little while visiting friends? I don't really know. But if you'd want to try calling her number or knocking on the door, probably a good idea just to be sure. I could be paranoid due to everything happening of late, but it's best to be fully certain either way

How do I even
My apologies for

Thank you, everyone who restored me. Especially you, Lissa. I am forever in your debt.

I know I caused a lot of pain during my time here. And, for that I can only apologise.

As for the current issue. It's my fault, and I will fix it. It's the least I can do.

I just got attacked by Rose on my way back from a meeting at the university. I'm pretty sure my left ankle is broken right now and I'm going to have a hand shaped bruise on my throat soon. Can anyone come get me and take me to the medbay or something?

[OOC: Figure this took place shortly after nightfall.]</b>

Well, that sucked. Saved one to lose another.

We've still got a problem on our hands, guys. Dimitri turned Rose before we got there. And, she knows how we think. And, knows us.

We need to save her, and fast. Before she does too much damage.
