The Story:

Closed to Elena and Damon

[She notices the cold first as she regains conciousness, realizing belatedly that it's because she's on the ground and she's very much outside. Her eyes open slowly, groaning, wondering who it was that could have knocked her out this time for god knows what.

She pushes herself up, nose wrinkling as her hands press into the dirt, lamenting the fact that there's probably plenty of it in her and all over her clothes. She does a quick bug check, because she does not want to find any of those later, before she glances around, trying to get her bearings.

Nothing looks familiar, but it's a forest, so she hadn't exactly counted on that anyway. She starts to move cautiously, just in case whatever dragged her out here happens to still be around, only to have her hearing suddenly pick up a not so distant sound nearby.

Voices. And they're hella familiar.

She blurs through the trees, coming to an abrupt stop as she finds the source of the noise before she takes one look at the scene in front of her and has to pause as her brain catches up what she sees, her eyebrows lifting nearly to her hairline.]

Seriously?

OTA

[After catching up on all this nonsense with her bestie, Caroline sets herself up in the room next door before she decides to do a little exploring. If she's stuck here, then she might as well get acquainted to the place, not to mention collect a few friendly faces. Sitting around doing nothing is definitely not her style, and if Elena says that this is the way things are gonna be for the foreseeable future, she's gonna go with that, considering her friend is literally the last person to ever do anything even remotely like giving up.

She'll walk through the halls, peeking her head into rooms that seem to be common areas of all types, smiling widely at strangers, so long as they don't look like they're too crazy.]

Hi! I'm Caroline. I'm new around here.

[ well, she just so happened to stumble right into the office, and cordelia perks up at the idea of a potential ... client or whatnot. ] Well, you've come to the right place. Probably.

Angel Investigations. We help the helpless.

[Her eyebrows lift. That's definitely a new one.]

Investigations? You mean like you're a detective or something?

A little more all-purpose than that, usually. We don't just find the source of your problem, we fix it too.

I assume that means you're working on a way to get us all home?

[That seems to be the biggest problem around here, anyway.]

I mean, technically Angel's been on the case longer than almost anybody. So yeah.

Sounds like you guys don't have the best track record, then, if you very first case is still unsolved.

[Just saying.]

No one else seems to have had much luck either, though.

Hey, there's only so much one vampire can do, alright?

[Hold up. Rewind.]

Did you say...vampire?

With a soul. Important heroic addendum.

Because they don't...normally have one?

[Um. What.]

It's this whole gypsy curse thing. Before that, he was all aboard the merciless evil train. Standard vampire fare.

Right. [Blink.] Makes perfect sense.

We wouldn't want any of those running around. Besides, his name seems to fit the whole soul-having thing more anyway.

Just watch out if he ever changes it.

I'd hope that you'd let people know if that ends up happening.

Oh trust me, I'd be a regular Paul Revere about it.

You can't be too careful, right? So...what was your name again?

Cordelia Chase. And you are...?

Caroline Forbes.

[Her teeth tug on her bottom lip curiously.]

So is that a common thing around here? People that aren't human?

I mean, there's one guy who's just a giant triangle, so I'd have to go with yeah.

I'm sorry, a what? How does that even work?

It's better not to ask, believe me.

No, that sounds like exactly the kind of thing I should be asking about. I don't want to turn the corner and not be prepared to run into a living geometrical shape.

I think his name is Bill. He's trying to start some kind of violent political revolt through song, or something.

So the triangle has a name, and it's, of all things, Bill.

[Just wat.]

And I thought my life was crazy.

[ shrrrug ] I never promised any of this would make sense.
