Yeah, I know. A uh, spell was performed my senior year and it brought all these ghosts out in the open. I saw my sister. There was this plane called the other side which kept people's spirits that had unfinished business.
( And the original witch sure took advantage of that. )
They needed a special plane for that? Ghosts already do that all on their own.
[Jo doesn't understand magic and more to the point, she doesn't want to. It's not any of her business. As much as she does like to research, that's more Sam's bag.]
They didn't, it was created by this witch, Quetsiyah because she was obsessed with a guy who looks exactly like Stefan, Silas. She wanted to ensure that when he died, he was stuck there with her.
( She was crazy. He missed a lot of that because he'd been abroad, on the run, and then possessed. )
He fell in love with someone else, and that may or may not have been based in Traveler magic. ( He shrugs, not actually knowing. ) Anyway, so, I've been there before. But, not like I was at Peace. It was different. Really lived up to its' name.
( He clinks his beer to hers, one foot up on the bar, sitting back. She reminds him of an old flame of his. Her fire. Her brashness. But, she's human. And a hunter. Like Jer. She also has a (slightly overbearing) mom, but, she also grounds herself. Yeah, he thinks he likes her. Likes being here. )
So, let's make the most of it. Here and now. We promise not to waste take two.
[He's cute. And he's got a sort of charm to him. And while Jo and romance hasn't always been the most consistent thing in her life, he does have a point. Best to make the most of it.
She clinks her glass against his.]
So what're you gonna do once we've got a clean bill of health?
As soon as I can get my kit restocked, find a car to drive and my mother will let me out of her sight, I'll probably just go back to hunting.
[It's what she's good at, what she's always wanted to do, and as long as Ellen is okay with it, she will be to.]
Maybe help my mom get another Roadhouse going. I know the boys have some kind of bunker now, but they can't just invite all the hunters into their house.
[They need places to socialize, trade information.]
( He doesn't know what hunters would do on their off-time, though he doesn't think every hunter would stay in a bunker, especially a personal one. It's big enough to have Elena and all his friends a few months ago but not every hunter that passes through. )
It was a bar. My mom ran it. It got blown up by demons a while back but maybe the world could use a new one. Hunters gossip like little old ladies, so it was a good place to swap information.
[Hear about cases, round up backup. Demons blew it up for a reason.]
Don't know if that's his MO. I just know, he left town lying to Elena about art school. Lost touch after that.
( Mystic Falls chaos. )
You know, there were two times in my life I remember Mystic Falls being vampire free. One time, because there was some kind of anti-magic spell still going. And, the other, because Caroline and Stefan compelled everyone to move away. I think they called it a gas leak.
It's the vampires, for sure. But, I'm long past the grudge I held. I'm ready to move forward. With you, if you'll have me.
( His sister and mother are dead. Elena has a boyfriend and parents back from the dead. Tyler has his mother back from the dead. Jeremy, the same. So. )
[It'll be good to have a partner again, especially if it's someone who gets what she's been through. The lull in the conversation hits, and she's still not ready to sleep.

Never piss off a witch. That Silas guy probably could have used learning that lesson a little earlier.

I probably would have lost my mind.

( You'd moved on, left it all behind. There was no unfinished business and you could watch over your loved ones. )

I never really thought about what would come after. And then when I died, I didn't actually go there, so it all felt moot.
[She shrugs.]
Maybe I'll get a take two - hopefully a long, long time from now.

I could do what I can to help. I worked at a bar through most of high school.

Could probably use someone to watch my back on that too, if you're interested.

But basically we use the news to track down cases, drive in, investigate and solve the problem. A lot of it is restless spirits.

Let's see how I do.
( He's played it before, of course. But, his reflexes and limbs were dead.
And with that, they settle in at a nearby table and proceed to get drunk. )
