the ninth body | (dictated/written) (forward-dated to midday on the 3rd)

[compels]

You know, if I were home right now, I could be spending this time watching Shark Week. Instead, I'm stuck here with you people.




Which I guess bears the big PSA. Surprise, surprise. Wes got a little mixed up last week with the big announcement. I'm still here, alive and kicking.

Soooo? What'd I miss?




( elena gilbert )

I know I wasn't around to give you the grand tour when you showed, but what do you say I take you out tonight? The Lux? We've got lots of catching up to do. Could be fun.

( stefan salvatore and alaric saltzman )

I'm alive. Tell me Wesley's not. Come on, the guy drugged, tortured and shot me. Tell me you at least got one of his friends. The lack of broken necks is just -- well, frankly, it's a little insulting. I thought I was just a teensy bit more important than that.

( morgana )

I don't think I've managed to properly thank you yet.

( bonnie bennett )

I need a favor.

( lana luthor - written )

I didn't mean for--

I'm s

I saw that you've still got that present I gave you. You know where to find me.



( private - written )

Well, I'd call that a colossal backfire. Turns out Wesley's a little more ruthless than I thought. Who knew he had it in him, that sap. I need to figure out how he figured out about Lilah. Something must have triggered the compulsion to override it. No better way of wasting my time here than to figure out how. Not that it matters -- however he did it, it's annoying.

Guess this means she's off-tap. And considering I'm not sure I trust taking a bite out of the townspeople or anything wished into existence by this place, I'm thinking it's time to find a new source.

She saw something in me worth saving. She knew the truth, and she still [ the sentence stops. ] I want to know what.

He won't be bothering you anymore.

Also, Lexi arrived yesterday.

( stefan salvatore )

[compels]

That's funny, not bothering me sounds suspiciously like not dead.

Great. She can join Rose in the dead vampire version of the babysitters' club. Can we stay focused?

[coy]

You weren't gone...

[compels]

Nope. Just indisposed.

( caroline forbes )

And if you're smart, which I hope you are, you'll stay the hell away from Angel, Wesley and all of their little pals. So that you don't become indisposed too.

( damon salvatore )

[videres.livejournal.com]

You are right, you haven't.

( morgana )

[compels]

So, here's a fun hypothetical. Say you're trying to make it up to the woman who just saved your life. I mean, obviously your standard flowers and chocolate just aren't going to cut it. So, what would you do?

( damon salvatore )

[descendent]

[ What is this even. Elena will state the obvious. ]

I was told you were gone.

( elena gilbert )

[compels]

It was more of an ... incredibly unpleasant extended vacation.

[bigbad]

Don't forget to announce the part where you're the one who'd been biting people and blaming it on Angel, who hadn't done anything.

[compels]

I don't know what you're talking about.

[my-bff-trevor.livejournal.com]

[This is a very relieved Rose]

Oh great, you're still hanging around here.

[In other words, she missed you]

[compels]

Believe me, I'm just as excited about it as you are. Miss me?

[ Damon Salvatore ]

[rejuvenator.livejournal.com]

And here I thought you knew me a little better than that.

( alaric saltzman )

[compels]

You're right. I should know by now that when you want a neck broken right, sometimes you just have to do it yourself.

[loisfuckinglane.livejournal.com]

[ Oh yay, he's ... still around. 8| ]

The movie theater still appears on the weekends. You could go watch Jaws, and then just stay there. Maybe you'd disappear along with the room.

[compels]

Jaws is so overrated. Your taste suits you -- it's ancient and tired. [ He's not in the mood, so he's making low blows. ] Don't you have any friends you can be bothering?

Ever heard of a way to break compulsion without turning someone into a vampire?
