[Davina nods.]

We should also split up. Decide where to meet on the road?

[The more targets the hunters have to follow, the less likely they are to get what they want.]

[interminably]

What do we think, family? Are we listening to Davina Claire and Scott McCall the true alpha?

( He's heard the stories. Doesn't mean he's reached any level of respect.

Elijah looks to Bela and Kol would like to keep his girlfriend safe. She's already on borrowed time.

"I like being one step ahead of the hunters," Kol offers. )

[regentem]

["So do I," Bela agrees. "And you do realize that your other sister is also likely a target."

If there's a way to motivate Klaus, it's poking at the Rebekah button.]

She has a point, Klaus. Possibly Hope too.

[commend]

( Well, all that won't do.

"Someone call Rebekah," Klaus orders, speeding for his own phone to call his daughter.

Scott doesn't have her contact, but he'll wait while the Originals locate their other family members. Which worries him as he thinks about his family, and he slips a hand inside his pocket. )

Can I also make a call?

( He asks Davina like he's in class. Clearly they have a little time. Maybe not much. Power going out's not awesome. )

[polydeukes]

[Davina nods, before gesturing for him to move further into the house. "Can you call on the go?" Just to be safe.

Hope's phone rings twice in rapid succession. Normally Josie wouldn't answer, especially when it's "DAD" on the caller ID, but Hope is in the shower and this feels like an emergency.]

Klaus?

[interminably]

( Scott nods, moving further in like she asks. No reason to be sitting targets in the entrance way.

And yes, Klaus is determined. Pick. Up. )

Josette. Is my daughter with you?

( Meanwhile, Kol retreats to his bedroom to get him and Kieran to quickly pack. So much for a homecoming. )

[polydeukes]

She's in the shower. What's wrong?

[Because something has to be wrong, right?]

[interminably]

Her family has been doxxed. Our information, our whereabouts, our likenesses. I am unaware if she is included, but she and you should make haste. An early graduation departure.

( Because he says so! )

[polydeukes]

[Problem with that is they were supposed to be coming to them. To Tulane. And that likely isn't an option.]

Where are you going? What about Hayley?

[interminably]

( Plans change, Saltzman. )

Hayley is next on my list and Hayley can take care of herself. I don't know about a where, yet, that has yet to be determined. Can I promise to pass that information along once I know?

[polydeukes]

Okay. We'll do the same.

[Maybe they'll just go to New York with Lizzie? Then again, New York might not be safe because they're expecting Lizzie.

All of this sucks.]

Anything else you want me to tell her?

[interminably]

Be careful. All the prerequisite father-daughter sentiments. I trust you'll communicate the proper ones.

( And then. )

Give word should you be in the same dilemma.

[polydeukes]

We will. Be careful.

[Not that Klaus is easily killed, but still. Hope's dad and all. Once that's done, she'll hang up, and immediately hit the Saltzman family group chat.]

Klaus says there's some kind of supernatural hit list on the internet, and we might be on it.

[daydrinker]

Well, if Klaus says.

( Lizzie sits up in Danny's arms, not asleep, and holds the phone up to him.

"What in the actual dox," she says, typing herself.

Does he have proof or is HE just on it?

[polydeukes]

He wasn't sure if Hope was on it, even less sure of us, but apparently it's extensive. Has anyone talked to Aunt Caroline or Uncle Damon tonight?

[She's not sure one way or another but she's just passing along the information until her girlfriend reemerges.]

[daydrinker]

( Lizzie, please say you haven't spoken to uncle Damon. Somehow, yes, it is different than Stefan, it just is. Once a best friend... never again a best friend

"Aunt Caroline had that real life THING tonight and no I make a habit of not reaching out to immortal psychopaths no matter how Luke Danes they're trying to be."

Also, the right answer. )

Did Klaus say how extensive?

[polydeukes]

No, we didn't talk very long. He just wanted me to pass on the message to Hope.

[But she was obviously going to tell her family.]

Just let me know if you hear from them?

[She doesn't know if she should text Damon herself, so she just .... won't tell her dad about it if she does.]

Anyone heard from Mom?

[jockwitch]

( Her sister will, but her sister won't clue their dad in, either. She's thinking the same thing. )

She's not with dad?

( Hm, Dad?

"I thought she was at the hospital."

Alaric pulls a family group Facetime together, dad-ing his way through technology when he should be keeping parent to parent personal. But he's on edge with this "lift." It surprises Lizzie who sits up, looks back at Danny and slides to the edge of the bed to try and frame the picture behind her.

She eyes her sister's square like, why Facetime? We're all clearly alive. )

[polydeukes]

[Josie is also very confused when her face pops up on screen, matching Lizzie's expression with one of her own.

But Jo very quickly declines the call. Is she in a consult? Is she under attack? We just don't know yet.]

[interminably]

Do the same.

( And he hangs up. )

What of Rebekah?

( "She's hosting a dinner party," Elijah says, holding his hand over the receiver.

"We should probably all get going," Scott says. He tries listening for nearby sounds or movement (8) but he can barely hear above his own breathing and the Mikaelson's messages. )

[regentem]

[Davina nods as she crosses her arms in front of her chest.]

Take separate cars? The more scattered we are probably the better.

[All the ladies are also gathering, they're just busy packing stuff before they take their leave of the Abattoir.]

[interminably]

Separate cars to separate destinations? I think we should pay a visit to our dear sister. Strength in Mikaelson numbers.

( But, you people can also have ideas, too. )

[regentem]

Then you have fun with that.

[Davina loves Rebekah but she doesn't want to go on a Mikaelson family road trip. She got to opt out of those when she stopped being Kol's girlfriend.]

I don't think you need Scott and I.

[interminably]

Well, well, going out of your way to warn us. Once an almost Mikaelson.

( She wins more respect points. )

[regentem]

Just trying to keep the peace.

[But with that, she will go find Scott so they can make their own escape.

Freya steps up next to Klaus, raising an eyebrow. "To New York, then?"]
