Isn't it wonderful when everyone has an opinion?

[She loves you, Klaus, but you have to make everything more complicated than it needs to be. She then turns to Kol.]

Let me know if you need anything, brother. I'm going to go and get some rest.

[personal profile] witchaffinity 2023-12-28 03:11 am (UTC)(link)
I'm going to check in on Kieran. Get your rest.

( Klaus gets a glowering, Rebekah gets a kiss on the forehead! )

[Yep. Back to his girlfriend who totally wasn't listening to all of that (it's not her fault the Mikaelsons are loud by default). While Rebekah stays to bicker with Klaus about his tendency to try and control everything, Kieran scooches herself back to bed to give herself some plausible deniability.

Today is slightly better than yesterday. She'll take slightly better over worse.

She curls back up into the covers and waits for Kol to stick his head in.]

( He does knock for politeness before letting himself in and sinking onto the bed. He flops back with a weary sigh. He turns his head. )

You're awake.
transientem: (4)

[personal profile] transientem 2023-12-28 03:38 am (UTC)(link)
I felt like being awake.

[She smirks as she rolls over to face him.]

Plus there was a very interesting conversation happening in the kitchen.
witchaffinity: (it always ends like this in this family)

[personal profile] witchaffinity 2023-12-28 03:47 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, Freya pulled an all-nighter. She went dancing.

( That conversation, right? )
transientem: (15)

[personal profile] transientem 2023-12-28 03:52 am (UTC)(link)
[Yep, that's totally the one.]

You know, for an older sister, she parties like the baby sister.
witchaffinity: (admiration)

[personal profile] witchaffinity 2023-12-28 03:58 am (UTC)(link)
Only now and then.

( But. )

You heard everything, did you?
transientem: (13)

[personal profile] transientem 2023-12-28 04:03 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not mad. It was a conversation you were going to have to have eventually. And no one said anything I didn't expect.

[Meaning she didn't expect much of Klaus.]

At least now what we need is out there.
witchaffinity: (casually stands)

[personal profile] witchaffinity 2023-12-28 04:06 am (UTC)(link)
Out there enough to approach Hope. And you can have what you need from Rebekah. You know she only wants to help. Are you on the mend?

( Or as on the mend as she can be? )
transientem: (15)

[personal profile] transientem 2023-12-28 04:22 am (UTC)(link)
Better than yesterday.

[She's at the point where this comes in waves rather than a slow decline into uselessness. She'll take this over how things get towards the end.]

I can make time to talk with Rebekah if you figure out how to talk to Hope.
witchaffinity: (admiration)

[personal profile] witchaffinity 2023-12-31 12:14 am (UTC)(link)
I was thinking about our options, and I quite though that astral projection would be under the fairest terms. It lacks the pressure of the in person reveal and gives her the space to make her own decision. How do you feel about that?

( What does she want? )
transientem: (3)

[personal profile] transientem 2024-01-01 03:28 am (UTC)(link)
[She nods slowly.]

That's fair enough for the initial conversation. But if we move past that, I will need a blood sample.

[So that will have to be in person.]
witchaffinity: (I could slip away)

[personal profile] witchaffinity 2024-01-01 07:36 pm (UTC)(link)
The blood sample would come next.

( Logically. )
transientem: (15)

[personal profile] transientem 2024-01-02 03:16 am (UTC)(link)
Yes. So we will have to go to New Orleans, eventually.

[But eventually is not now, and they have time to figure that out.]
witchaffinity: (casually stands)

[personal profile] witchaffinity 2024-01-16 01:45 am (UTC)(link)
And we shall. Once Hope is brought in.

( And once she gives her answer. )
transientem: (7)

[personal profile] transientem 2024-01-16 02:08 am (UTC)(link)
[She takes a breath as she shifts to face him more, looking him in the eye.]

I know we're on a clock here. Eventually we're going to hit a cut off point. I'm okay with putting a plan for that in place.

[A pause.]

I know I'm trying to have it all here, but ... alive with no magic is better than dead. I don't want to be dead.
witchaffinity: (what)

[personal profile] witchaffinity 2024-01-16 02:44 am (UTC)(link)
And I don't want you dead, either. I will move heaven and earth to give you the chance to keep your magic. You know what side I fall on if this fails.

( Or if Hope refuses. )

And we are running out of time. I can see that.
transientem: (8)

[personal profile] transientem 2024-01-16 03:01 am (UTC)(link)
The problem of being mortal is there being a ticking clock.

[She weighs her options.]

Is there a point of no return for what vampire blood can fix? Like if I start losing mobility, does that become the line where we can't wait anymore?
witchaffinity: (Default)

[personal profile] witchaffinity 2024-01-16 03:03 am (UTC)(link)
Without my family's magic, yes. Vampirism could send your disease into overdrive if it progresses too far. It helps cancer along, I assume it will only push your Huntington's.

( Which, yes, does put a big ticking clock. Or at least it points it out for them. )
transientem: (3)

[personal profile] transientem 2024-01-16 03:17 am (UTC)(link)
Alright then. Let's talk to Hope and assess where we're at from there.

[She wants to still be able to use her body when the time comes. The ticking clock is ticking a little bit faster.]

Maybe we can find another witch with similar abilities to mine to finish the project if we run out of time.
witchaffinity: (you always do this)

[personal profile] witchaffinity 2024-01-16 03:42 am (UTC)(link)
I'll make contact. It's been too long since I've dropped a line to my niece as it is.

( Yes, he's reminded he only has so much time. They both do. But he refuses to live by the clock. He will act and he will act soon. )
transientem: (4)

[personal profile] transientem 2024-01-16 03:50 am (UTC)(link)
Good.

[And she will talk to Rebekah, and one way or another, this will all work out. She just hopes they're able to figure this out sooner rather than later.]
