Liv! Merry Christmas. ( Oh, shop talk. Not to double hammer a nail down, but she needs some context. ) Not since Williamsburg, but, it's Christmas. Do you need her?
No. I haven't. I can ask. Is there any reason in particular. Hey Dean.
("Just going over... she and I both think this is more than just a spell gone wrong. Because there are people who appeared in Star City and New Orleans. And, apparently, Boston. Not just people who know Elena or Sam or me."
People who weren't even close to them or the fallout. )
And the fact that the spell seems complete and there's no lingering threads is really bugging me. It's like it was intentional, not some weird side effect of the ritual. And I said that I could only think of two witches who might be able to channel that kind of power that easily. But they were both with us.
[Which is fortunate.]
Even if they can't have a look at our new arrivals, maybe they might know a witch who is capable of handling that kind of power.
Dean and Liv are positing a few theories, and one they wanted me to ask about is the power it takes to do something like this. I can see the line drawn from Elena to some, and Dean and Sam, but there are others that aren't involved with any of us, except they were brought back. Allison was there, but does she have a connection to Derek's sister. And so on.
Liv mentioned that the only two witches she would think were capable of something like this were with us for the takeover.
[There's another period of silence, but that's mostly because Freya is typing. There's a lot of "..." coming and going across the bottom of their chat thread before she finally responds.]
I spoke with Davina about it, though I didn't examine any of them myself. She said that while she didn't recognize the magic there was something familiar to it. But the fact that the spell was complete and whole is what concerns me. That does not say accident.
That requires a great deal of intentionality. You need to know exactly who you're bringing back. Have touchstones that connect you to that person. Doing that with one person is hard enough. Doing it with twelve? You would have to be able to channel a considerable amount of power.
The only people other than myself and Rowena are dead. Maybe Hope could, but I think she would tell me if she had accidentally resurrected or transported a dozen people and Davina would have recognized her magic.
I don't know. I believe Davina only looked at Erica.
I believe she's in Mystic Falls with Derek? Maybe you can have a look at her and compare and contrast. I'm afraid I won't be able to make it to Mystic Falls anytime soon.
Not bupkis, but, she agrees. Derek's sister is here and she recommended I put her side by side with Matt or Jo. Maybe Matt and Jo came out of that spell, but, everyone else couldn't have. So, maybe there's a different signature. And then there are Elena's and Damon's kids from another reality. They probably have differences in aura.
( So, the plan is for Liv and Bonnie to do some compare and contrast. )
Gather as much information as we can and compare notes. Hopefully by the time this is all said and done, we won't have anything lurking in the background.

[Yes, thinking back on that sentence it was too vague.]
Or see if Freya had a look at any of the ones that were in New Orleans - hey Bon!
[Because Bonnie happens to be wandering by, in between conversations.]
Have you talked to Freya since the dead people started coming back?

[A beat.]
And yes, I know, it's a holiday, but in the last twenty years, have you ever known me to let go of anything?
[She will stop being all business one day.]

( Hrm. She steps away and into one of the side rooms pulling up Freya's contact. )
Merry Christmas, Freya. When you have a second, I have a question Liv and Dean posed.

Merry Christmas. Planning another coven coup?

So, we basically have a new player on the board?
And Matt and Sam and Dean's friend Jo, are they a result of that spell or this bigger one?

Erica's also at the same party and she should be there with everyone else.
And don't worry, we aren't asking you to.
no subject
[So she's there to be a witch powerhouse if you need her.]
