[ open ] event shenanigans

[honesta]

Who: Elijah Mikaelson and you!
Where: Fourth floor
When: The Event
Rating: PG-13
Summary: The fourth floor gets a little darker than usual and Elijah sticks around too long trying to locate his brother.
The Story: Staying on the fourth floor is probably ill advised once he gets a good hard look at what's before him. The hallways no longer have the familiar feel to them. Everything from the hallways to the rooms seems to have mutated itself into a rather rundown hospital. Elijah's been in his fair share of broken down buildings, but this one seems to be standing on it's last leg. It almost seems unsafe to travel the hallways, but he's got very little choice in the matter.

The banging is impossible to ignore. The closer Elijah gets though just means that it gets further and further away from him. Which makes him even more uncomfortable. He remains though. The cries make him feel incredibly uneasy, but he can't leave. He's not responsible for their safety, but he's also not sure he can just leave them behind. Elijah inspects each room slowly and thoroughly. He keeps an eye out for Niklaus as well. Rebekah resides on the second floor which will be his next stop, but him and Niklaus both occupy the fourth floor.

Perhaps it's foolish to hunt for Niklaus. He's probably long gone, but Elijah stays. It's easy for Elijah to ignore the pain at first. He shuts it out, but eventually even that becomes difficult. Often he stumbles the length of a hallway with sweat beading down his forehead. If one encounters him before the pain starts they'll likely find a more manicured Elijah, but if it's after the pain then he's likely less talkative. Probably best not to provoke him in any shape of form.

Enough time has passed since the start of the event that rumors of the changes within the mansion have spread like wildfire. While Rebekah did not normally seek out her brothers in their private rooms, today it seemed imperative that she do so, considering what the fourth floor was said to have become. Rather than wait and give them the opportunity to find her, she makes her way to the fourth floor in short order, finding that it exceeds the description she'd picked up along the way.

For as monstrous as she and her brothers could be, none of them quite belonged in a setting like this.

She quickly begins to make her way down the corridor, pausing outside the room she knows to be Elijah's first, knocking sharply and stifling the urge to jump when she hears banging in the distance in reply.

"Elijah?"

If there's no sign of him, then she'll simply have to seek him out, but it never hurts to start simple.

Elijah isn't in his room anymore. He's three rooms down. Each hospital room seems to be worse than the one before. He halts his frenzied search of the room when he hears his name though. He knows the voice belongs to his sister which is why he wastes no time exiting the room. He looks down the hallway and spots her outside what used to be his bedroom. Clean and comfortable has been turned into something else. Something darker. He doesn't care for the Events that make him powerless, but the ones that make him homeless are no better.

"Rebekah." He says approaching her slowly. The pain hasn't set in yet, but it's growing in the background. Eventually he'll start to feel it. He stops short. "Did you happen to see Niklaus on your way up here?" She's a few floors below them thankfully. They're both full grown adults who are just about immortal, but putting her in harms way makes him uneasy. He'd prefer she always stay somewhere safe and isolated from the action.

A wave of relief washes over her when she hears his voice, and she quickly turns to face him, momentum carrying her towards him as she throws her arms around his neck without abandon, hugging him closely. For all the mansion's tricks, and for as strong and capable as she knows each of her brothers to be, she's never able to find herself at ease when something is amiss.

"Not yet," she confesses, releasing him and letting her heels drop back to the floor. "I'd planned to seek him out next-- and Kol."

Considering how strained the relationship between Kol and the rest of them had a tendency to be, she thought it was important that she extend him a bit of good faith, encourage him not to paint himself as being ousted, ignored.

"You're alright?"

Elijah's prepared for his sister's hugging. She tends to fall back on hugging often. He doesn't mind it. He actually quite enjoys it. Makes him feel a bit more normal than usual. Plus it assures him she's here and not just some figment conjured up by this place. Though he's not certain if it'll resort to hallucinations. He's just started to feel a little off. Something he assumed might be magic related. Witches are rather huge fans of making you see things that don't exist.

He doesn't intend to exclude Kol, but things have been weird since he spoke to him after Niklaus told him the truth. A heated argument over if Elijah didn't care for him. Everything he had ever done had been in the name of this family and keeping them alive. A times that meant daggering Kol when he was completely out of control and close to luring in their father. He couldn't have it. He wouldn't put the rest of them in danger because of Kol's foolishness.

"If I know our brother it's likely he's far away from whatever this is." Kol's always been rather good at looking out for himself. He doesn't tend to stick around for them. Elijah doesn't blame him sometimes though.

Elijah presses a hand to his chest and nods his head slowly. "I'm not certain, but I believe this place wants me to vacate."
