I don't get the whole holiday obsession. Been here on Earth-That-Was now nearly a year and still don't get it.

Cookie delivery needs to be a thing that exists.

So do magical restocking booze cabinets.

[FILTERED TO HAYLEY]

So, I'm back from vacation now. Can we talk?

[FILTERED TO CLAIRE]

I'm sorry about earlier. Bad session and all. Thank you.

[FILTERED TO STEFAN]

Well.

Right then, my brain is less scrambled. ish. I ..well thanks.

apparently the truck I'd had targeted with food in it ended up havin drugs in it too. had a tip it was just gonna get thrown away. Course I didn't know till later why. They didn't rightly appreciate it goin off course and I ended up gettin involved in somethin bigger. Think I got away without gettin seen where at least but heh.

so much for that plan.

ha ha ha so if anyone was wondern this was not the best friday night ever. bein electrocuted shouldnt even be a thing yet. What the gorram hell kansas? Thanks for the memries but really. had enough of that back home thanks.

all that for a loaf of bread? or a few thousand?

I don't suppose you've got time for a quick internet session, do you? It's been a weird couple of days, I could do with thinking out loud, or on screen or whatever.

So, apparently I'm a tavern owner now? You guys should come to [tavern name] and keep me company.

[*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"

I need help. I can't keep going the way I'm going. I just can't. I'm so stuck. Wasn't there a counselor around before?

[Claire]
Connor's back, but still trying to find fucks to give about Kansas and coming up dry?

[Tim]
Hi.

[Jones]

Movie? Or dinner? Movie and dinner?

[Claire]

I'm thinking this is a bad idea. But Gibbs would probably call me a coward for not helping someone help me. Or something. And I think I'm cuckoo. Not One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest cuckoo. I mean I'm not going to throw anything through a window. Or anything like that.

Yeah. Hi.

Looks like I'm gonna get to fly some ancient planes. I'm under specific orders not to sass the instructors apparently. I promise nothin. This should be interesting.

[Claire]
What did I do to deserve this?

Wash is gone.

When should I come see you?

[Added filter to Rose]
Does it ever stop hurting?

Joinin Becker on a hunt in Portland in the AM at some point. Not sure what it is yet but guess that's what we're for. Try not to miss me too much.

I think somethings wrong with me. I'm not in Kansas anymore, but it isn't better. This used to be the place I'd go to escape.

Think I need to see you today. Are you available?

[Robin]
Feel like doing something soon? Think it's been a while since we have properly. And no that doesn't include telling you my middle name.

[Molly]
Settling into the complex all right?

You into this fancy ball thing?

[Former or current soldiers]
..What happens now?

I can't find anything. I mean, I keep looking and I don't know what to even
...I am so lame right now. I don't even know
Can you please tell me now if I'm

I did not actually think looking for a house was going to take this long.

Why aren't there moats in Kansas?

[Claire]

I may or may not be freaking out.

[John]

Do you still have that one tea that tastes like it's made out of jelly? Or jam, or ...whatever you call the smashed-up fruity stuff you eat on everything that isn't pizza? ...possibly on pizza. You don't eat that on pizza, do you?
