♐ fifty-sixth shot

[yeahihidmypants]

[Oliver is scratching his head. You can't tell that over the journal, but he's been doing it for a while. No, he doesn't have lice... just a puzzlement.]

Has anyone seen a dinosaur around? [Because, now that he thinks about it... Sansa didn't show up after the pirates thing.]

She's small-ish, likes plants... actually knows her name is Sansa. [Brains the size of walnuts, suuure.]




[Fred]

Don't worry, this is non-dinosaur related. I realized that we never got a chance to talk details about the project idea I had for you.

What with all the people showing up and leaving, and then pirate ships...

If you've got some time, I've got a project.

[coy]

There wasn't a lot of interest. [Which is so lame]

[yeahihidmypants]

You know, there's a girl here, Harmony Kendall. She's been pretty good at throwing events in the past. You might want to talk to her, unless you have an issue with friendly vampires.

I know some people have the whole 'we don't have those here' type instances, so I don't want to put you into a loaded situation.

[coy]

[Okay, now time to play the part] A friendly vampire?

[yeahihidmypants]

[No need to play a part, Caroline! :D Ollie, already knows things.]

Yeah, actually a friend of mine was sort of dating her, before he went back home. She's... unique, but not dangerous. In fact, from what I've learned she's worked really hard to become a good person.

[coy]

Does she... eat people?

[yeahihidmypants]

[he laughs]

You mean like how you thought my dinosaur did?

As far as I know, she's on a no-people diet. [his brow furrows] Though, isn't it just a blood thing? I didn't think it was a cannibal thing.

[coy]

Well, you know what I mean.

[yeahihidmypants]

Only from what I've heard, but it does sound a bit misleading. The whole 'eating people' thing.

You'd probably have to ask her, but from what Dick told me she gets all of her blood from the castle and it's all animal variety.

Are you concerned about the vampire population's dietary habits?

[coy]

I just don't want to get eaten or something. That's all.

[yeahihidmypants]

I think sometimes in this place you have bigger things to worry about than the vampires.

[coy]

It's one of a ton of things to worry about.

[yeahihidmypants]

A ton? Sounds a bit heavy.

Everything okay?

[coy]

Well, like, all the curses or losses or whatever they're called? And being put on pirate ships? Or people leaving.

Caroline ]

[yeahihidmypants]

It can be a lot. I've been here for almost two years. I'd like to say that it gets easier, but it really only helps if you have people you can rely on.

oliver ]

[coy]

I have friends from home here.

Caroline ]

[yeahihidmypants]

Well, that's good. I mean, it's a good start.

It does make it a bit harder if those are the ones that leave, though.

You can consider me your friend, if you'd like to at least.

Oliver ]

[coy]

I can? [Hey, he sounds cute and she has a bad habit of making friends with boys who use her. *cough*Damon.]

Caroline ]

[yeahihidmypants]

[For the record, even though Oliver wants information - he's looking to get it for everyone's safety and he would protect Caroline if she was in danger. He's like... Alaric.]

Yes, of course you can. Sure, we just met -- but you can help me look for Sansa and our friendship will only get stronger.

Oliver ]

[coy]

[Alaric is a good person to be like]

Okay.

Caroline ]

[yeahihidmypants]

We can meet in the lobby if you like, start our search there?

Oliver ]

[coy]

Okay. I'll meet you down there.

Caroline ] [ action!

[yeahihidmypants]

[Ollie is waiting in the lobby, he's got a small container of soybeans and a leash. Yes, his dinosaur has a leash. It's only for when she's been and has run away]

I really need to start asking people for descriptions... [He glances around for a girl who might be looking for him and moves over toward one.]

Are you Caroline?

action!

[coy]

[Caroline figures the hot guy with a leash is probably the guy she's looking for. But it helps when he approaches her and asks if she is who she is. She grins and sort of bobs her head.]

That's me.

[yeahihidmypants]

[Smiling at her, he shifts everything into one hand and extends the empty one out to shake hers.]

I'm Oliver, you can call me Ollie you want. A lot of people do.

[coy]

[She shakes his hand with a sweet smile] What do you like to be called?
