( But, she nods, looking at what they have to deal with and the time it will take to put any scene together. She thinks quickly. They could drag one of the witches in leather onto the bed, put a pillow over her head and shoot into it. But, Katherine wouldn't die unsuspecting like that.
She spots the canopy above the bed and gets her idea.
Still tired, but determined, she gets to her feet and climbs onto the bed. Taking off one of the sides of the intact canopy, she twists it around, tests its' weight. Sticking her head in one of the openings, she twists her body, tugs. Twists her body, tugs, and then leans back slowly. As it holds her weight, she lets go completely, hovering there, suspended.
It isn't comfortable. But it might do the job. She twists her head last as her limbs dangle, fingers brushing the bedspread.
It isn't as tight as it looks and it seems to be holding her body weight, like she was strangled in the canopy. It's all she has in the moment. )
How does this look?
( She could accidentally suffocate herself like this so she hopes it's good enough, he snaps the picture, and then he helps disentangle her. )
[He snaps the picture quickly, making it appropriately gruesome, before sending it off in response. As he unties her so that she doesn't actually suffocate, the phone vibrates again.
Nicely done. By the time you get back to base the rite should be done.]
Looks like they're doing some kind of rite. Doesn't that usually involve capturing the doppelganger and then killing her as part of it?
( She braces herself against him as he untangles her and she steps down, cracking her neck. )
It usually involves killing.
( She shouldn't care, precious Elena always gets herself into situations like these, and technically, she got her and her boyfriend into this one - but, she doesn't deserve to be bled out to old witches. Katherine knows what she herself deserves deep, deep down. She could never be Elena. As much as she wanted to be. )
It makes sense. We're loose ends. ( She indicates the phone. ) Or, we were. Elena can also handle herself. And, knowing her, has chariots of heroes on her heels.
[He smirks, but leaves it at that. Once he's made his phone calls and they both are dressed in something less overtly bloody, he'll take Katherine down to dinner while they wait for the undertaker to arrive.]

[She seems like the kind of person that inspires that.]
We should still lay low until all this nonsense is done though. I'm sure they will let us know. But we may be out of the woods for now.

( She lets herself actually smile. And then her smile falls. There are also bodies now. )
What are we going to do about them?

[They'll come pick it up too.]
And we'll pay a rather large cleaning fee, but I picked this place for it's discretion.

I wish we could get room service. I'm starving.

[He then pauses, before sending a text to Allison:]
Inner Circle finally made their move trying to kill us - Katherine especially. They didn't succeed - and they think they did.
Not sure if that will be helpful on your end, but hopefully that'll throw enough of a kink in their plans to buy you some time.
