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????

Scotch it is.

[and with that she'll turn to lead him in the direction of her apartment.]

[lockwood]

[He heard about the fire in one of the many, many voice mails he got from Caroline so he doesn't question why they aren't going in the direction of the old Gilbert place.]

[braveandstupid]

[She still regrets that. She regrets a lot of things she did back then, but she's tried to put it in the past and move on.

Doesn't always work out that way, but she tries.

Case in point: the apartment building she lives in is Alaric's old building. There have been a few repairs and renovations over the years, so it doesn't quite look the same, but it's still familiar to her, and she clings to that a little more than she should.

It also isn't until she reaches the threshold of her building that she realizes something.]

I can't invite you in.

[lockwood]

[He blinks a little, surprised by that.]

You live with a human?

[braveandstupid]

Not live with but ... Matt's family has the deed to my apartment. They invite me in so I can live there, but I can't invite other vampires in without one of them present.

[lockwood]

Makes sense. I usually make an arrangement like that myself.

[To keep Klaus out, mostly.]

[braveandstupid]

[she nods.]

It's been good for keeping me safe. And keeping them safe when they need it.

[lockwood]

It's mutually beneficial.

[braveandstupid]

It is. And it keeps me close to them.

[lockwood]

Which must be nice, still having that connection.

[braveandstupid]

It's the only one I've really had. It helps keep me sane, to be honest.

[lockwood]

I'm a little jealous, honestly.

[braveandstupid]

Well, now you have me.

[and if she can try and keep him grounded, she's certainly willing to.]

[lockwood]

[He smiles a little at that.]

Yeah. I guess I do.

[braveandstupid]

[She gives his hand a squeeze, before nodding to the door.]

I'll get the booze. We can drink it somewhere else until someone gets over here.

[lockwood]

Sounds good to me

[braveandstupid]

[and with that she gets up and heads back into the house to grab a bottle. A few minutes later she's back with the scotch and two glasses.]

Where should we go?

[lockwood]

I don't know. [Not back to his former home turned museum -- he's not sure he's ready to be there yet.]

[braveandstupid]

[she pauses]

We could head down to the cemetery?

[lockwood]

[Then he pauses.]

Sure. I meant to head there at some point too.

[braveandstupid]

Okay.

[and with that she extends a hand to him again, ready to lead the way.]

[lockwood]

[He lets her lead him out to the cemetery.]
