[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.]

[jockwitch]

That is not Mom code.

( She sits up and slides forward giving Danny room to crawl away if he wants to answer his ringing phone.

"You girls stay put. I'll go to the hospital." And Alaric says it in his stern 'do not go off and be Legacies way' because the Chessboard is dangerous enough.

He waits until they each agree. )

[daydrinker]

( And once they agree, he ends the call.

Moving the coffee table, he flips back the rug underneath and elbows one of the loose floorboards. Pulling out a dagger, a small crossbow and one of his wrist stakes, he leaves the floor exposed as he grabs his sweater, keys, and leaves the house.

The narration assumes she isn't just arriving home or there on the other side when he opens the front door?

If not, he will head straight to the hospital and do a spot check from the parking lot (16) )

[saveslives]

[He does not see his wife. Mostly because his wife is a Gemini witch, and when possible, they cloak themselves to avoid trouble. It's what Jo did the second that she clocked the hunters who were looking for "Dr. Gilbert or Dr. Katz," and they didn't clock her (6). At least, not until they got a phone call outing her (19, for whoever's running the show).

She managed to disappear in the meantime, and make her way down to the garage to try and get out of the hospital, but the hunters are everywhere, and Ric will definitely spot some of them wandering through the cars, checking license plates.

He also will see the door to the stairs mysteriously open and then close, but it doesn't seem like anyone comes out of it.]

[daydrinker]

Good woman.

( He parks close to the stairwell, but under the cover of darkness between street lights. With not being on the list, he doesn't try hard to mask his movements when he follows behind (6). )

[polydeukes]

We will.

[Josie will just worry about her Mom being safe in the meantime. She waits until Ric disappears and she frowns at her sister.]

Have anyone good with a computer nearby? We need to find out if we're on this list.

[jockwitch]

We could ask Wade.

( Or the Flying Monkey. Really, any of the boys. )

If we were on the list wouldn't we be under siege?

[polydeukes]

I don't know. It seems like they're picking off people while they're alone. I feel like they'd be too smart to attack a school full of supernatural students.

[Or they're not on the list. Either way is a win.]

[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?"]

[interminably]

A larger reunion then we anticipated, but we Mikaelsons are strength in numbers.

( Meanwhile, Kol looks to Elijah who confirms he'll be making the trip after having consulted with Bela.

"We're on our way," Elijah says, but Rebekah has brought the phone down. So. He still says it.

Somewhere far away, an imbalance occurs and as Kieran shuts her suitcase, she looks up in the mirror just in time to see her spelled pendant flicker and crack.. )

[transientem]

[Her eyes widen when she sees it, her fingers closing around the pendant and starts fumbling for her phone. She sends a text:]

Where are you?

[Then, impatient, she doesn't wait for an answer, she just calls and listens to her brother's phone ring, waiting for him to pick up.]

[tramplemain]

( Her text goes unanswered, mostly because her impatience kicks in.

Two rings in, the call's picked up. The voice on the other end isn't one she recognizes. It's male and not her brother's Probably younger, if she were to guess. As for the voice himself? He was in her brother's presence when his ring flickered. And this? He wasn't born yesterday. (20) )

Your link is state of the art. Not quite the failsafe it could be.

[transientem]

Who the fuck are you and where the fuck is Julian?

[If she doesn't speak to him right the fuck now, she's going to be very unhappy and this idiot, whoever they are, will have major regrets.]
