how to play.

1. Drop a comment with one or more of your muses. It can be empty if you want me to make a scenario, or you can toss one at me. If you want to just give me a prompt (a word, song, lyric, picture, phrase, anything), I can riff off that too.
2. In the subject line, you can specify any of my muses you might want to play with, or you can ask me to pick someone.
3. just rp with me. if something jives really well, maybe we can continue it in another one of these later, sort of like a super casual verse. if it doesn't, it doesn't.

In Rosewood you're either a target or a suspect. That seems to be the options. There's no in-between, no innocent bystanders. Nothing. In a world covered in shades of grey sometimes it feels starkly black and white.

"Good." And this time the smile is almost genuine -- or as close to a real smile as she gets anymore, anyway. "Because I wasn't planning on giving you up."

She refuses to let A take everything from her.

Startled puppy is actually a very good description for Peter. So is endearing. He's one of those guys that are hard to dislike because he's sincere and goofy and a little unsure of himself. He's such a little kid in some ways.

"So what've you been doing?" he asks, pushing his bangs back from his face.

They kind of are good odds.

rebekah of course

"A little bit of everything."

She goes out to bars, she's seen a few plays, shops, finds various other things to do to fill her hours. Anything to distract herself from how alone she is in this big city.

The last time Tyler saw Hayley it had been Winter time -- during the holiday festivals, in fact. That was the day that everything changed for Tyler. His pack died. His mother died. And everything spiraled from there. He got chased out of town. And even though he had been "allowed" back it wasn't enough, not now. He needs more than a life on Klaus' terms. It's not enough. The hardest thing he ever does is walk away from Caroline and her ultimatums but he has to do it.

He'll regret it forever if he doesn't.

Which is what's brought him to New Orleans. He doesn't have a fully formed plan yet, but he has to do something. He's restless. He's heard from the grapevine where Klaus is staying -- some old plantation. He goes out to check it out when he knows the Original won't be home.

What he doesn't expect to see is a light near the door, or the girl holding it.

"Hayley?"

His voice is a mixture of accusation and confusion. What the hell was she doing here?

Re: rebekah of course

[easily]

It's always sunset in the fall in Teleios. It's been an adjustment, these long stretches of permanent times of days but after almost a year here? She's begun to get used to it. Or as much as somebody can get used to it, anyway.

This particular evening she had off from the Boarding House and it's raining and she rather enjoys walking around in the rain when it is as light as it is currently. Between the fire and all the strange behavior lately it's nice to have something peaceful going on, for once.

Of course, it could be the calm before a possibly literal storm but she'll take her chances.

It is during that long walk that she runs into a familiar face she hasn't seen in a while -- now that she no longer lives in the temple it's easier to miss people.

"And here I was afraid perhaps they had sent you back home."

[darwinspigeon]

"Alone?"

He's curious. She's pretty enough that she never has to do anything alone. She's interesting and fun . He wouldn't be surprised if there were someone here with her. In fact, he glances around to make sure there's no one waiting on her.

[louisianawolf]

The familiar face and voice surprises her. It's been a long while, and so much has changed for her since she last saw him, and she's sure just as much has changed for him too. She's also perfectly aware of how much is unfinished between them, considering the events of that last time they had seen each other -- things which she was mostly responsible for.

"Tyler," A pause. She squints her eyes a bit, as if she doesn't really think it could be him. Here? Really? "What are you doing here of all places?" He could ask her the same question, but since he hadn't started off with that, she figured that she might as well be the one to start it off.

[easily]

She nods a little. "Alone. I don't really know anyone here." And making friends has never exactly been her strong point -- not real friends. People she's compelled to hang out with her? Easier but more lonely.

[lockwood]

"I could be asking you the same question."

He's dodging giving an answer on purpose. If she's staying with Klaus she's probably working with him again. Tyler made the mistake of wrongfully trusting her once.

He sure as hell isn't going to do it ever again.

Last thing he needs is someone warning Klaus he's in town -- or what he's up to.

[darwinspigeon]

Peter nods a little. "Well now you've got a tour guide."

Not that she needs one. She probably gets around New York City just fine, but at least now she doesn't have to be alone, not if she doesn't want to be.

[easily]

Rebekah smiles a little at that. "I do, don't I?"

Not that she can't figure out her own way around -- but Rebekah's never really liked being alone very much.

[kidon]

Eyal likes walking around anyway, and today he's not going to let a bit of rain discourage him from doing that now. Plus, as used to hot weather as he is and always has been, it's still nice to be out in cooler weather for a change every once in a while. Especially when there's not something weird-- or weirder than normal -- happening at the moment.

When he hears Rebekah's familiar voice, and sees her walking, he smiles at her. "Apparently not yet. And you're still here too," Which of course he's glad to see, that she's still here. "How is life outside the temple?" He asks her.

[easily]

Rebekah doesn't mind the weather either, the rain is almost nice in comparison to some of the other things they've had to deal with here recently.

"Good, for the most part. It's nice having my own space again."

Not that she doesn't love Elijah but sharing a room for as long as they had to hadn't been ideal -- sharing a house is much easier to deal with, all things considered.

[hasperkynipples]

"Do you guys need to be read often?" That's the only reason he could see setting foot in a place like this. Unless they were actually that into karaoke.

[enjoythe_ride]

It won't ever be the same, not really. But at least it will be a step in the right direction, and he'll be free of it all. That should count for something.

"I think I could use another drink. What about you?"

[darwinspigeon]

"Coffee first," he says as they approach the coffee shop. He holds the door open for her.

"Anything you want to see after that?"

[easily]

"I've been meaning to check out the Met."

Rebekah likes museums, likes art and culture. It seems like a good start.

[lockwood]

"I could definitely use another."

Tyler can't imagine actually being free -- not anymore.

[visiongirl]

"Angel does, sometimes. He also usually comes here looking for leads, Lorne has a direct connection to the PTB"

[darwinspigeon]

"Yeah?" Peter responds with a goofy grin. "I think we can check out the Met. I don't have anything else on my schedule today."

You know, besides being beaten with a staff or thrown off a roof. He's good.

[easily]

"Lucky me, then."

Going to a museum with a pretty girl definitely beats being thrown off roofs.

[hasperkynipples]

"Huh. That must be handy." He cold use one of those that is not Castiel.

[enjoythe_ride]

She raises a hand to signal the bartender, and they continue to share drinks for the rest of the evening, trying their best to get some time to relax.
