Open Picture Prompt Post

[desertions]

An Open RP Post, with a ~twist~. Basically, I love picture prompts more than life itself, so this is what you do.

1. You choose one of your characters.
2. You leave me a picture prompt and/or what character of mine you're requesting (if you don't request a specific one, I turn the wheel of RP fortune or something like that).
3. I comment setting up a scenario inspired/based on the prompt
4. profit????

I know. I don't blame you. I've wanted to just run away from here so many times.

[Over and over again things would just happen, and Elena was so tired of things simply happening. She misses the being able to think that she had some say in the way things would go.]

[lockwood]

So why didn't you leave?

[He's curious, just a little, why she's stayed for so long.]

[braveandstupid]

Jeremy. And then Matt. Then after that ... I didn't really have anywhere to go.

[lockwood]

You could go anywhere.

[braveandstupid]

And I would just be alone.

[which is worse, in a way. Isolation in crowds of people when you've only ever been one place. She had no one to go with.]

It's easier to be alone in a familiar place than alone somewhere completely new. At least here I have the ghosts.

[and sometimes that was more literal than it should be.]

[lockwood]

[Tyler's quiet for a moment, as if unsure of what to say until finally:]

That is the most depressing thing I have heard in a long time.

[Whoops. Tact is not a strong suit of his.]

[braveandstupid]

[She can't help it. She laughs. It's not happy, or amused, but still -- it's laughter. She hasn't done it in any form in a long time.]

I guess some things never change.

[she's still the girl who's much too sad for her own good.]

[lockwood]

I guess not.

[He pauses.]

We should do something fun. Are there still fun things to do here?

[braveandstupid]

I think fun I can manage. I vaguely remember how it works.

[She pauses, before looking around the town for a moment]

The hangouts are pretty much the same. The Grill, the Falls. But we might be able to find something new?

[lockwood]

Something new might be nice.

[braveandstupid]

[she pauses, making a show of thinking for a moment.]

There's one of those virtual reality things outside of town.

[because this is 100 years in the future.]

[lockwood]

That could be fun. It's been a while since I've done one of those.

[braveandstupid]

[She grins.]

I've been a few times. It's definitely something to do.

[lockwood]

When you're going to live as long as we will, it's always good to find some.

[braveandstupid]

Keeping busy keeps you sane. Or at least that's what they tell me.

[lockwood]

Seems to be kind of true.

[braveandstupid]

So what have you been doing? Other than traveling?

[lockwood]

I went to college a couple of times. Even played college football for a while, though I quit before I could gain too much attention.

I've run with a few packs, but mostly I keep to myself.

[braveandstupid]

It sounds like a good life. What did you study in school?

[lockwood]

Art, the first time. That was the only time I actually finished.

[braveandstupid]

Did you get displayed anywhere?

[lockwood]

A few places. I think some might still be in museums.

[braveandstupid]

You'll have to give me the names sometime. I'd love to go see them.

[lockwood]

I could take you, if you want. [she deserves to see the world outside of mystic falls. And it might be nice to have a familiar face around.]

[braveandstupid]

[She turns to look at him, a wide smile crossing her face.]

Really?
