There are dinosaurs in New Orleans. They're robots and they move and roar and you can dig for bones too.

Plus vacation means you get to eat more ice cream than usual so I think I want to stay on vacation forever.

[FILTERED TO FRIENDS (but not Caroline* and not family) + STEFAN]
[*sorry, Caroline, she learned from that mistake last time Klaus read over someone's shoulder!]

So, apparently part of the process is being honest with loved ones, so here I go.

I have an eating disorder. Specifically, I can't feed on blood. Ever since the Cage, I've been unable to keep any down. But, for the past few weeks I've been in therapy with Claire Callahan, a fact only a couple of people have known. I'm working on it. I don't know how long it'll take or anything, but apparently being open with people I trust is a way to help. Obviously, I'd appreciate it if this isn't common knowledge though.

Kol and Elijah have been amazingly supportive, and I'm so grateful to them both. And Stefan, well, Stefan has been my rock. I could not have managed any of this without him, he has gone above and beyond in the Supportive Husband stakes.

Also, so people are aware, Niklaus has decided he's disowning the rest of us and that he intends to have complete custody of Henrik. So there's that. He's made his decision and I'm not going to fight him on it.

[FILTERED TO STEFAN SALVATORE]

I have decided something. Apparently Niklaus is taking Henrik and Caroline to New Orleans. I've been spending the past few months trying to be here for other people, trying to make them happy and I want to get out of here. Not forever, because I have friends here, not to mention my therapist, but I'm going to take the vacation time I'm owed from work and I want to travel somewhere with you for a week. Maybe two if Claire thinks I'm okay to miss one session with her. What do you think? Shall we pack some things, take out some money and go to the airport and just take the next plane out of the country with free seats? See where that takes us, maybe travel some place else if we want, make it all up as we go along?

[FILTERED TO CLAIRE CALLAHAN]

I'm usually too emotional during our sessions to actually say anything, but thank you, for everything you're doing. It really means a lot to me.

[SENT ANONYMOUSLY TO DAVINA CLAIRE]

• Some classy notebooks and a pen set.
• A card with neat calligraphy writing: "For when school starts"

Should be back by midnight or so, I'm in Missouri now.

Will you go to the beach with me on Sunday?

[Bekah]

Will you go to the beach with me on Sunday?

[Elijah]

Will you go to the beach with me on Sunday?

[Kol]

Will you go to the beach with me on Sunday?

I need someone capable of rewriting memories. Last few hours would do it.

I'll pay. Well no, Stark'll pay.

[Tony]

Back me up before your Avenger friends lose it over me asking this. Because I'm not in the mood and I'm doing you a hell of a favor here.

Oh, I had to knock Sanderson out. There were hysterics and he was riling the rest of them up. And I MIGHT have threatened them with an automatic weapon. But they're being quiet now

So we've been working our butts off but Jim and I have gotten permission to turn the Center's athletic field into a giant carnival for next weekend. It's going to basically be brilliant, the kids are in for a treat, and I'm super excited.

But I come to you, my dear Lawrencians, pleading for help. I need volunteers. Anyone willing to work a shift on a game, do face painting, provide entertainment. Miss Potter and Mr. Vincent, I'm looking at you two. Jim, Robin, and myself will all be taking turns in the dunk tank, because we're good sports. ....right, boys? Don't leave me hanging here!

Who's in? PLEEEEASE? See how cute I am when I beg??

Ingredients for a great day:

1. Shopping!!--I'm pretty sure I need a new closet now
2. Lunch with frozen cocktails
3. Taking a good picture during the time out!
4. Hanging out with someone you love while doing 1 and 2.


Aren't we adorable?

But anyway! What are all of your ingredients to a great day?

So Karaoke.

It seems popular and I like to see people happy, so here's a  thing.

Bed of Roses. Friday night. Everyone is welcome.

Yes. Everyone. One night only.

Anyone even begins to cause anyone else issues. I will ban them forever. End of story. I think we all deserve one night which is just ridiculous drunken singing.

Stefan, you know what we're singing. Che. Duet time. And Lee. Find me the most ridiculous of love songs. Like, there is nothing too cheesy! 

Thank you, Dr. Tam. I feel much better now.

And thank you Stiles for the dragon. I like him a lot.

Thank you for the herbs, Ms. Ruby. We did not need to use them but it was a kind thought.

Also, Ms. Belle, thank you for the books. They were very entertaining.

I watched some television for a bit while sick but I do not think I like it. There was a lot of fighting on the television. I prefer books that allow me to use my imagination.

» Hey Stephanie.
» Having fun?
» I have my first appointment with Claire tomorrow afternoon.
» Will you be around for me to call after?
» Or are you seeing a show or anything?

Just got the call an hour or so go...I officially have my job at the vet clinic back.

[Rebekah & Caroline]
So...I panicked for nothing. They were just a bunch of tree-huggers...but Stiles is back in Lawrence now.

[Bonnie]
Thanks for helping us out...even though it ended up being for nothing. Sorry we kinda wasted your time.

I've been sitting here trying to write some kind of optimistic post but I've got nothing.

I don't know what's happening or going to happen.

But I'm not going to lose my relationship with you. So later this week can we do something? Just you and me? And Lily probably.

» Can I come and stay with you for a few days?
» If Crowley and Anna don't mind.
» Stefan is going on a seriously needed break from all this with Damon.
» But he doesn't want to leave me on my own.
» So I told him I'd ask you.
» Also because I need some time with you.

Right, I think we could all do with a bit of fun.

Eva, you still going to organize that karaoke night and Bed of Roses?

[Filtered to Rebekah]

I'm sorry that I didn't stay to watch Jurrassic Park with you all.

I'd just rather not be in the same room as Elijah, right now.  I'm still adjusting to being back here.  And finding it hard to forget some of the things that happened back home.  Even though I know he hasn't done them yet.


[Filtered to Klaus]

It seems that here parallels home in some ways.

Want to talk about it?  Or, we could go get something to eat.  You're not a bad wingman when you're in the mood to be.

[Filtered to Stefan]

How are things going?

I know exactly how frustrating being involved with the Mikaelsons can be.  Imagine being raised by them.

Hey. Think we could talk about some stuff?

Suppose I've avoided it all long enough... and...I don't much feel like summarizing, so...

[screencap]

Make of it what you will. I don't know where to go from here.

[Family, minus Henrik]
So... Solo's plan. Are we doing that? Are we finding something else? Are we continuing to avoid everything and each other forever? Just wondering, cause...progress has been pretty stalled of late.

[Crowley & Anna]
Facing reality. Talking to the older siblings on where we go from where we are. Wish me luck?

[I think I mentioned before but "Family" filter includes the in-laws!

Also, this is slightly fwd-dated to later on in the evening after the movies with Henrik.]

[FILTERED TO STEFAN SALVATORE]

So, going to Marcel's place to watch Jurassic Park with Henrik, even though apparently Marcel and Nik won't be joining us. I don't even know, I can't summon the energy to keep up with those mood swings any more. Tell me you'll come with me? And not mock me when the dinosaurs make me jump?

[FILTERED TO SCOTT McCALL]

Any word from Stiles? And how's Lydia adjusting this time?

[FILTERED TO ROSE TYLER]

So, how are you now?

[FILTERED TO CLAIRE CAllAHAN]

This might sound like an odd question, but I'm really hoping you'll be honest with me. Do you have an opinion on vampires?

[Filtered to family]

Henrik, I'm coming over with Jurassic Park. It's a movie about Dinosaurs that I think you'll enjoy. We'll get nice and comfy, have some snacks and watch.

Klaus, Kol, Marcel, Bekah, you're welcome to join us. Caroline, you are too, but I know you said you might have other plans.

So, Early August.

Emily's two. And cause she's two I'd like to celebrate it. With other kids. With games and like, a bounce whatever you call it. That kind of stuff.

So if you have kids, if you're a parent. Come along. She'd love to have the company. 

[Mikaelsons]

I know he's not well right now, your brother.

I met him at the magic meeting, he's a good kid. I can send some herbs and things, will help with the recovery. And I promise, they're legit, he's the one of you I like and he's a kid. Think I'm a monster, whatever, I could care less personally. But it could help him. .

If he's better by then and if he's not too old for a kid party to want to. He's welcome. And whoever of you wants to bring him.

[Sam]

I invited them. Its easier overall. And its for Emily's sake. And honestly, the younger brother is pretty awesome. Fairly sure he's suspicious of me cause well, I did go nuts and threaten his ridiculous sister but hey, threatening is excusable when it happens right? Or is that only sometimes? There should be a list of exceptional circumstances.

I just kinda wish they'd see what they do to  people. Or just think, at all, I guess beyond the people they've befriended. Includes you. Pretty sure I don't have a single friend left willing to talk to me that likes them. I have no idea how to even
