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.

With her brothers she'll always have to put aside what she wants. It's the way it's always been. She's spent a thousand years at Niklaus' side and being away from him is freeing. She knows eventually she'll find her way there again, she always does, but she doesn't want to just yet. She's enjoyed her summer with Matt. It isn't perfect, but it's nice. He calls her out if she acts out of line -- but he also treats her just like another girl. It's not like they are both aware of what she actually is but there are moments when he talks to her and feels like he just sees Rebekah instead of Rebekah the Original.
How is supposed to just abandon that? It had been easy to promise him it'd only last during the summer, hard in reality to just let go.
"I haven't decided if I'm going yet," She admits with a small shrug of her shoulders.
no subject
His manager steps into the back and Matt takes the opportunity to drop himself into one of the chairs at Rebekah's side. He keeps himself at a distance, but sitting down alleviates the need to lean over and speak in hushed, awkward tones and is less hell on his back. There are enough hours spent hunched over tables while he's cleaning them off and wiping them down without covertly speaking to his— Whatever Rebekah is to him. He hasn't decided whether she's actually become a something or if she's just someone he had a really great, fantastic summer with.
"You don't think it'll be worth it just to see if Klaus' kid comes out with horns and a tail?"
no subject
And there's a time where that would of been enough, she would have risked everything to try to fix things with her family -- but it feels like there isn't anything left there to saved. Besides, there's a part of her that's jealous, bitter even. All she had wanted was a chance to be human again, to get married and have children and Niklaus gets so freak miracle child?
It isn't fair. But nothing ever is.
Besides, she doesn't quite want to close the book on whatever this is with Matt just yet.
"Assuming he doesn't kill the girl before she comes to term, which knowing my brother...well it's surprising he hasn't already with the way it sounds like they're trying to use it as leverage over him.
no subject
Klaus gets a kid and Katherine gets to be human again. Sure, the latter was a defense on Elena's part, a way of saving herself and stopping Katherine using what she had on her. Older and stronger, Katherine was no match for Elena — but as a human, she no longer posed a threat to her vampiric doppelgänger. He understood why Elena did it, and likely would've done the same had he been in her position, but that didn't mean he was thrilled about Katherine Pierce being human again.
That, combined with Klaus having a child on the way, had to be like a slap in the face for her.
"It's not the kid's fault his father's a dick."
no subject
"I know."
But it feels like if she goes back to her brothers it's just settling for how things always were with them.
no subject
"You can't tell me that you're not at least curious to see how all this works out."
Because somehow, Matt's become the person who knows Rebekah the best outside of Elijah, in all likelihood. And unlike her older brother, Matt's more willing to see the changes in Rebekah, to see her as she is now versus how she used to be. He doesn't have a thousand years of history to inform him of how she supposedly ought to be, just the here and now and that summer they spent together abroad.
no subject
If it's worth it to reunite with her brothers. To turn her back on everything here. She's spent the whole summer with Matt and it's the first time in centuries she's really let someone outside of her family to get to really know her.
If she leaves, she'll be losing that.
no subject
"Like I said, it's really not that kid's fault." He'd know, he has personally experience with that. "Mom mom was a supreme flake who forgot to go grocery shopping and pick Vick and I up from school half the time, and we-- Well, at least I turned out okay. Which is at least in part because I had a great role model who wasn't my mom around for me to look up to."
That person would be Elena's father, who filled a role that would've been empty with or without his mother actually acting like a parent. He's forever grateful for the influence Grayson Gilbert had on him, and doubts he would've turned out the way he did without his guidance. Vicki sure didn't.
no subject
"Is that your way of saying you think I could be a good influence on the baby?" Because no one ever seems to think she'd be a good influence on anything. She's impulsive, quick to angry and whims. A hopeless fool.
As much as part of her had yearned to be human, to start a family of her own -- what could she really offer to a child?
no subject
His friends would call him crazy for saying so, but he thought she could. Rebekah had potential, she just... never had the right motivator or inspiration to really harness it. Kind of like Vicki. When all you have is bad influences and reasons to go wrong, why should you go right?
/casually mixes in new canon information
"Elijah stopped calling, you know."
It's something that has been bothering her. He had been so persistent about her coming, about rejoining the family and then radio silence. It's not like Elijah to just give up on something.
Which leaves her a little unsettled.
excellent. /refrains from mixing in that gypsy nonsense i keep side eying...
Though something told him that no, that wasn't the case. Elijah seemed like the persistent type, the kind who literally had all the time in the world to be patient, keep asking, and wait for someone to come around -- especially if that someone was his little sister.
yeaaah the gypsy stuff is really sketchy i don't blame you.
What she thinks is that Klaus has probably done something. It's not like Elijah to just give up. He's been calling and texting her all summer why would he give up now? It doesn't sit well with her.
Which means it may no longer be a matter of if she wants to go but when she does.
i'm just gonna default post-s4/pre-s5 when playing matt.
It's not a hard conclusion to reach, even if it doesn't turn out to be the truth. After all, the last few times Rebekah vanished on everyone, it was because she'd been daggered and tossed into a box. She and her siblings had a nasty habit of doing that to one another for reasons he would never fully understand.
understandably. it's for the best.
Niklaus is always the one doing the daggering (well, except for the one time she almost daggered Kol). He will never put anyone else before his own personally agenda -- she's been on the receiving end of that dagger enough times to learn that lesson.
It seems Elijah hasn't yet.
It could be something else keeping him from calling, it's true, but her gut tells her it's probably this.

To an outsider, someone who hadn't just spent the past few months with them in Europe, it would likely seem like he was trying to talk her out of staying in Mystic Falls. That wasn't the case. He was trying to talk her into doing what was right, letting her know that it was okay to care and to go after her family if that's what she needed to do. She could still be her own person and be invested in those people. Hell, he trailed after Vicki all the time when she was still alive, even though her drama constantly made a mess of his own life.
no subject
Which leads her to finally saying:
"I do. Which means I'll have to go to New Orleans."
no subject
"We. Which means we'll have to go to New Orleans."
There was nothing left for him in Mystic Falls. It was awkward being around Jeremy after mourning his passing, too similar to seeing Vicki again after she died for his comfort. He'd been gone all summer and hadn't had time to adjust to his return like the others had, and they were all off at college while he was just... stuck here.
no subject
"We. My mistake."
