╬ first bite

[ Like his brother, Stefan can read. But unlike his brother he does not take any of this at face value. He is not happy. In fact, he sounds downright testy. ]

The name Paradisa is Greek in origin. It means garden or orchard. It’s fitting, ending up here. Oh, and Katherine, if this is your elaborate way of influencing my mind, you’re going to be sorely disappointed. Elena and I may not be together but I will never love you again. You will never understand mine or anybody’s idea of paradise. You only serve yourself and if Damon didn’t entomb you I will find you and do it myself.

This isn’t funny, Katherine!

If in fact, this is not a fabrication of my mind and I just yelled everything to complete strangers as it says I would’ve, I apologize. And if I am talking to myself…

...I'm not sure, really. I got used to strange things happening back home, so it was probably quicker for me than most. It was so gradual I can't really name a date or location when it 'clicked', if it ever did.

I'd say probably just under a month, though. That was when I left the castle and moved into the city. Luckily for me, I owned a house the last time I was here, and kept my old notes there. It was a crash course.

Strange things do happen. What currency do they use here?

[luthored.livejournal.com]

They're called caisos, and unfortunately there is no exchange rate for any American money, I tried. You can always ask the castle for money though. [ she doesn't, but she's paranoid ] Or just ask it for whatever you want, if you don't like shopping.

[historyrepeater.livejournal.com]

Ask it?

[luthored.livejournal.com]

The castle grants wishes to those who want to take advantage of it. You can ask for almost anything, barring people of course.

I can't help but cite, "Be careful what you wish for."

[luthored.livejournal.com]

That's my take it. I try to make my wishes as sparse as possible. It's why I live out here. I just can't sleep in a sentient building, and it feels better providing for myself.

If you ever want a tour of the city, just let me know, but I'm sure Damon will be happy to show you where everything is.

You don't know Damon very well. I'm meeting another friend for a bite to eat [ oh stefan ] but I want to take you up on that tour. [ Spoiler alert: he won't make it. He'll be convulsing in the forest. ]

[ well she was being sarcastic, but yes. she is naturally suspicious of his terminology, since she's aware damon's a vampire, even if he doesn't KNOW she knows.

this is fun, really ]

All right. I can meet you at the castle entrance in a few hours if you like.

[ spoiler alert: NEITHER WILL SHE. it's going to be kind of difficult for her to get around in the city when she realizes there is currently a vampire-palooza going on all around her ]

[ so many layers! like onions and ogres! ]

Make it three and I'll be there.

[ well, ain't shit just gonna hit that fan? ]

[luthored.livejournal.com]

[ you fucking vampires she hates you so much i mean really ]

All right. I'll be waiting. Have fun with...lunch.

[ ;; he's a good vampire, really!...though, the next few weeks to months are going to be PAINFUL...so, :3? ]

Thanks. See you then.
