The Story:

Deux Lux

[Caroline Forbes is here most nights, drinking the night away and dancing on any flat surface she can find no matter the height. She never drinks herself into oblivion because she wants to be at her best, on guard for any of her 'friends' that might feel the need to step in.

She doesn't want help. Anyone with half a brain could see she's just fine.

She's more than willing to dance with anyone who's willing, just don't let her pull you off to that dark corner or you might end up with a few puncture wounds and missing any recollection of the last couple of hours.]

Lake

[She actually carted an inflatable lounge chair out here, and anyone in her path would have seen a blonde blur as she doesn't even bother to hide the fact that she's different. The sun is out and she's in her bikini, hair tied into braided pigtails, sporting a pair of dark shades as she lazily kicks around in the water, catching some rays.

Sometimes you can catch her sunbathing on the edge of the water, too, laying casually out on a towel. Vampire or no, she still likes catching some rays.]

Mikaelson Rooms

[Those who are aware of her living arrangements or any of the others that live there as well can find her lounging in various common areas, usually with a drink in hand, and can be summoned to answer anyone who might knock at the door. She's almost always bored, biding her time with liquor and playing with her phone, stalking messages in search of juicy gossip and drama.

Or maybe she's looking for a snack. It's probably just fine, though.]

Choose Your Own Adventure

Feel free to set up anything anywhere. I'm very flexible.

Comments

[persevere]

I don't know if overachievers is the description I would use. Maybe something more like hyper-deadly cockroaches?

[deathlessness]

[And that makes her snort a laugh.]

I suppose that is apt enough. But I suppose that's something that depends on perspective.

[persevere]

Seeing as I don't really care about anything, I think I'm about as unbiased as you can get right now.

[deathlessness]

Are you?

[She tips her head to the side.]

I'm sure you're biased about people trying to get between you and what you want.

[persevere]

Then maybe they shouldn't be trying to hold me hostage to get what they want.

[She's not literally being held hostage...yet. But she is being followed everywhere, told what to do. It's essentially the same thing.]

[deathlessness]

I agree, they shouldn't.

[They can't dictate how someone grieves. People need to process things like that in their own time - or at least in Freya's opinion.]

We were given the ability to choose for a reason.

[persevere]

[The only problem being is that they all believe she isn't grieving at all. She's just a walking shell of the person she should be.

They're not entirely wrong, but she sure doesn't care, and she's perfectly happy to take all the help on her side she can get.]

You sound like Elena.

[deathlessness]

[She tips her head to the side.]

Is that good or bad?

[persevere]

[She shrugs her shoulder.]

Not bad, I guess. She's not the one keeping me under house arrest, even after I tried to kill her.

[deathlessness]

[Her eyebrows go up.]

That's magnanimous of her.

[persevere]

Ugh, just don't tell her that. She doesn't need the ego boost.

[deathlessness]

[There's a slight smirk at that, and she nods.]

I'll keep it to myself.
