[Coming at you now without a lot of information because Stefan is an asshole.]

We don't know why yet, but just so you all know, Kai and I were unmerged, kind of. We're still connected - what happens to me, happens to him and vice versa - but we're in two separate bodies.

We haven't decided what we're going to do and we're not in Mystic Falls right now. I will keep you all updated once we decide on a plan.

Uncle KAI?

[drugdeals]

You said you saw Kai in the spell
We saw you outside, he was not there with us

This isn't a coincidence, all these returns, now Kai

[pricetags]

That's not possible

[daydrinker]

While you were in hiding, everything we thought was not possible became possible. Because of everything Malivore, I can't be surprised by anything, anymore. This doesn't feel like the times Kai took over Jo's body.

[bibrid]

ohmygod, this is not about Mombie Dearest, we are so past that, let's stay on topic

[drugdeals]

Was that the night we helped dig Josie out of her grave?

[pricetags]

WHAT?

DONE.

[bibrid]

OK
Kai took over mom's birthday on our sixteenth birthdays, thanks to Malivore, the necromancer, and some adolescent hormones. Like they said, Josie was dug out by uncle Luke, aunt Liv, Hope, and Penelope.
This was the second of THREE times he took hold.
MOM, is this anything like THOSE times.

Honestly, that's not even the worse of the Kai stuff that happened regarding me.

You probably don't want to know.

Anyway, should we be worried?

[geminated]

It's Kai. Of course we should be fucking worried.

[She erases the uncharitable response that comes next after she went in search of her boyfriend and found out he already knew. She'll have to buy Stefan a drink later.]

What's the plan, Jo? Because I'm not spending Christmas with Kai.

[saveslives]

That is not currently the plan.

For right now, Ric and I are going to stay here with him in Williamsburg. Once the big party and everything is done, Ric and I will bring him back to Mystic Falls and try and see if there's anything in the books on what's going on but no one will have to spend time with him who doesn't want to.

1/3?

[bibrid]

For the record, not one of us should be in the 'want to' column and there are those of us worried about you, the 'have to,' column. Do you feel safe?

[pricetags]

Exactly how bad DID it get?

DONE

[drugdeals]

When Jo, the girls and Alaric were sent to the prison world, Kai emerged again and escaped, but not before forcing your niece to absorb some dark magic.

Long story.

I'm not convinced we should be "fucking worried" per Liv. Jo, you sound pretty... nonplussed.

[saveslives]

I feel safe. He can't do anything to me without doing it to himself so odds are low I'm going to wake up with a knife in my gut. I'm honestly still processing because this is as new to you as it is to me.

Hopefully we'll have some better news after the holidays, when we've been able to feel out more of this.

[polydeukes]

To clarify, another, different bad guy had me casting some dark magic spells and storing the side effects in a sand clock so the dark magic I absorbed was really just the consequences of my own actions.

We were trying to avoid it though.

[geminated]

I still don't like this. At all.

He can't stab Jo but he definitely could stab Ric with zero consequences. Are you really sure you want to be stuck in a hotel room with him for a week?

done

[saveslives]

Of course I'm not sure about this. But I don't really have much of a choice. It's either that or have him wandering around causing problems for people like Bonnie or Elena or any of you.

I've lived with him in my head for almost twenty years. I can handle having him there in real life.

I want it stated for the record, I hate everything I hear about the intervening years I missed.

done.

[drugdeals]

Liv and I are in Mystic Falls, and will be for time being. You need anything.

[polydeukes]

We didn't really love it when we were living it either.

[saveslives]

If we run into any trouble, I'll call. But we should be fine. Just ... enjoy your holidays. I will keep you posted if things change.

1/1

[pricetags]

Holding you to your word over here.

One day, Josie, we're catching up from a to be.

[polydeukes]

We'll need booze for that conversation. Lots and lots of booze.

[Yes her parents are on this chat but they also know what they've been through so ... you know, don't judge her, Mom and Dad.]
