Not that I could tell you, I was unconscious, but I also didn't exist beforehand. So, unless your blood metaphysically moved across space and time, I wouldn't put you at the root of this.

You can let yourself off the hook.

If all that ends up hooey and Elena you somehow did, well, then I owe you a thank you and I'll do it in person.

But, again, I don't think you did.

What's a doppleganger?

[braveandstupid]

Thank you, Rowena. And Fred.

Can someone else field the doppelganger question? Because I am going to bed.

[stupetballs]

Seconding that request for doppelganger info. Isn't that some kind of shapeshifter?

[vampireboulevard]

I've got it!

So, like two thousand years ago this asshole named Silas stole an immortality potion and gave it to his great love Amara. Since immortality is inherently in opposition to the cycle of life, the magic of the world occasionally spits out copies or doppelgangers of them so that there is a version of them that exists in the world that can die.

However, somewhere along the way witches figured out that the blood of these doppelgangers is actually a very powerful spell ingredient. Curses, great magical workings, the whole nine yards, witches are always looking to track down the current doppelganger to use their blood to make their magic stronger.

Elena gets kidnapped a lot.

❤️ Matt Donovan liked your message.

[daydrinker]

I second this not being Elena and not having to do with anything doppleganger related.

[moralitypolice]

@ elena

Mute the conversation because something tells me this will keep going.

[shreds]

Silas had an obsession with dying and almost took my life in order to be able to lose his. Quetsiyah created the other side just to trap him in it. That's the third woman in this love triangle gone to hell. He stole the potion from her.

Also, not that anybody asked, but I also survived a final assault on my life. Because of the D-word.

[quesadilla]

Caroline and I are muting this conversation. @ us if you need us directly

done!

[splotchy]

I've never seen so many numbers and names in my life.

[Naturally, Malia waits until after Caroline has muted and Elena has gone to sleep to slide in here with:]

We have three more in Beacon Hills. Does Jenna Sommers mean anything to anyone?

[She assumes she means something to someone because everyone else seems to have connected so far but it's not a last name she recognizes.

And then probably because someone (Parrish or Stiles) makes her:]

Other two have already been identified and we are contacting their loved ones.

[recrudesce]

( Tyler was not coming on her to identify Jenna Sommers, but, such is life. )

Jenna was Elena's aunt. Are you saying Jenna Sommers is in Beacon Hills, Malia?

To add to the list, my mother wasn't on a bus bench and then she was. And @ waverly, someone named Charlie is asking for you if that name means anything.

[A minute as she does the math:]

Got it. Mystic Falls. We're already calling Caroline.

Congrats on your mom.

[And with that she will be out because Cora and Stiles have arrived at the station, and they're sorting things out here.]

[stupetballs]

[Charlie? Does she know a ... oh.

Oh, maybe. But it's hard to say when she doesn't have any proof. But if it is...]

@ tyler

Maybe? I'm in NY. I'll look at trains and stuff to see when I can get there, but Wynonna and Dolls might be closer. When you get there, can you send me a picture?

[She doesn't want to assume it's Julian without proof. She also will be diverting to another group chat.]

1/1

[recrudesce]

I'll ask for one. I'm on my way as we speak. Might be an hour depending on the bus timing.

1/1

[stupetballs]

That's fine. It'll probably take me that long to make the arrangements. Just keep me posted.

Thanks, Tyler.

[recrudesce]

It's no problem. Driving down now.

[slavophile]

Official count in Star City is two. They appeared together in the same place. And they do have someone in common. That someone's been contacted.

[patrols]

Shit, that puts us at what? Twelve total?

Something must be in the water.

[slavophile]

Or, in the wish, not that I believe in it.

1/1

[patrols]

Neither do I. That's a little too handy, imo.

Especially since they're so scattered. Like if someone made a wish, wouldn't they all show up in one place? It's not like they're all even being deposited where they died.

1/1

[attainathons]

It's not. It's a scattered smattering with no real reasoning behind where people were dropped.

Huh, say that five times fast.

[patrols]

There has to be some kind of impetus behind it. I'm going to see if Davina can get anything off the ones we have in New Orleans.

Also does anyone know anyone who knows anything about, as my brother-in-law put it: "multiverse shit"?
