Open Post the Sequel

[desertions]

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.

"I could say the same thing to you."

And she is a welcome sight. He doesn't know of the complexities of the relationship between her and Elena, and besides, Elena is more Ethan's best friend than she is Connor's. All he knows is talking to her over drinks was enjoyable, and they both took well the whole mistletoe thing.

"You meeting someone?" he asks, once he's caught up to her. He stands beside her and instinctively looks up to the tall, imposing Ferris wheel.

[easily]

She doesn't know Connor that well but she's enjoyed the few conversations they've had well enough. And the fact that he had taken the whole mistletoe thing so well, and had even tried to help her avoid any more experiences like that that day.

At his question she shakes her head lightly. "No, not really. I'm on my own tonight."

She is most of the time here. Her brothers aren't here and other than Stefan she doesn't exactly have an abundance of friends.

[phased]

Beks, Connor will ttly be your fran.

He wonders if she wants to be on her own tonight, or if that's just sort of how things ended up panning out, but he wisely chooses not to comment on it. Instead, he just smiles and nods in understanding, before he stuffs his thumbs into the pockets of his jeans and looks up at the Ferris Wheel she's been standing in front of.

"Ever been on it?"

[easily]

That is because u r good ppl Connor.

It's how things ended up more than anything else. She usually prefers company, honestly. She's never been that fond of being alone, probably because she's never had much experience with it. Before she always at least had her brothers around.

She shakes her head.

"I've never been on one before."

[phased]

"I guess the better question is, would you like to?"

Connor swivels in place until he's walking backward, still facing her. And yes, that would be Connor inching closer to the Ferris Wheel. He isn't someone that leaves anything ignored. If there's something he wants to do, chances are he'll do it.

"There's always a first time for everything."

[easily]

"I haven't quite decided yet."

But don't think she doesn't see what you're doing, Connor. If she wants to keep talking to you she'll have to keep moving forward as well. Very tricky of you, sir.

"I suppose it would be best to try it at least once."

Even if it does seem kind of scary.

[phased]

He can be sort of tricky, sometimes. He's only half-sorry for it.

Connor's smirk widens as he keeps walking backwards, until he reaches the line for the Ferris wheel. "If you don't like it, you've my full permission to blame me for it and return the favor."

As in, if there's something he hasn't tried before that she thinks he should, he'd feel obliged to do it.

Then again, he might just do it anyway.

[easily]

"Don't think I won't take you up on that," She warns with a bit of a smirk. She has to admire the boldness, if nothing else. Besides, how bad could one ride be?

Of course, even if she ends up liking it she might try to force him into something new anyway.

Fair is fair, right?

[phased]

"I live on the edge, Rebekah. Maybe I'm hoping you will," Connor says with a light smirk of his own. And okay, he doesn't necessarily live in the edge -- he's often the one that has to be the voice of reason with his brothers, but in his defense, some of his brothers take it to the next level.

The line in front of them starts to move until they're almost the next ones!

Aren't you impressed with my narrative skipping?

[easily]

"Are you implying I don't?" She pouts a little. Of course, she had been standing here debating what to do -- afraid -- so maybe she's not quite as courageous as she's claiming in the moment. Freedom, the ability to make choices for herself, it's very new.

Nothing she'd have if her own brothers were here.

Very impressed! They are being allowed on the ride and seated and I am so impressed!!!!
