my dad has never been a poster child for 'healthy.'

[kettle. black.]

it's just...weird for me. i don't know. i try not to think about it.

just tell him. say 'hope's dad is back.' or i can tell him, i don't know.

this is so messed up.

[gasping]

i can't just tell him "hope's dad is back" and leave out the part where your dad is staring at me like he's seen me naked

[ that's because he has, but caroline doesn't... remember that. ]

kol already acts like i broke his heart the last time he was here. if he finds out klaus is back it's just going to get worse.

[tribridfreakshow]

okay could you just NOT please.

[/screaming internally]

you already have a boyfriend and my dad is being a creep. it's not that complicated. plus he knows more things than he did before and literally nothing from the last time he was here.

[gasping]

SORRY

[ it's true, though, so she's not that sorry. ]

he doesn't know i have a boyfriend, though. [ which is caroline's fault. ] i meant to bring it up but i just got sidetracked by all the weird stuff and him being all klausy

[ calling her love. touching her arm. smiling. ]

i don't want him to do the whole vampire "i feel things way too much and now i'm gonna murder your boyfriend" thing

[ is that a thing??? she doesn't know. ]

[tribridfreakshow]

he's not going to kill your boyfriend because you'd hate him forever.

but maybe tell him you have one before he finds out another way.

[gasping]

should i send him a singing telegram or something?

[ please don't say she has to tell him in person like a grown up ]

[tribridfreakshow]

or i could tell him and that he should stop hitting on you because it weirds me out.

[gasping]

can you also tell him that if he threatens marcos i will actually murder him

[ she's got more blood in her system and stronger displaced powers, she could probably take him right now ]

[tribridfreakshow]

no problem. you got it.

he's gonna get on my case about what i'm doing here. he's going to try to stop me.

[gasping]

he can try.
we could always tie him up and leave him in a closet until it's all over.

[ with... what? not the point. they could make it work. ]

[tribridfreakshow]

well it's not like he can stop me. i'm just not looking forward to the conversation.

i've been on my own for two years already. i did just find without him.

[did u tho hope? did u?]

[gasping]

[ yeah, for sure. you're totally well balanced and handling things well, hope. just like your roommate caroline. ]

if it makes you feel better i had to tell marcos that i wasn't sure if klaus would try to murder him in a fit of jealous rage or not
so i totally feel the 'not looking forward to conversations' angst

[tribridfreakshow]

i don't think he's that obsessed with you. but it's hard to know what he'd do if marcos ever like hurt you.

[she really wishes she could just be like no that would never happen but this is Klaus Mikaelson we're talking about here.

sigh.

speaking of 'not looking forward to conversations.']

um you should probably know that my dad died two years ago. he didn't remember before so i never brought it up because i didn't want him to know.

this time he remembers that part so

yeah

[gasping]

i'm sorry, hope.

[ she's never been good at this part. knowing what to say, how to be helpful. she puts her foot in her mouth more often than not. ]

maybe that's why he's here?

[ to not ... be dead. ]

[tribridfreakshow]

it's fine. i just figured you should know.

[she could elaborate, but nah. let's not tear open those wounds and actually deal with them.]

who knows. i mean, why are any of us here?

[gasping]

[ it's not fine, but caroline's also dead. so. she gets the whole 'let's not actually talk about my problems' approach. ]

to screw with the una, i guess
do you wanna go shopping before that or something? i have a bunch of money to burn

[tribridfreakshow]

[thank god.]

you and me both. might as well use it while we have it, right?

[gasping]

i mean, if we're all going to die, we might as well look super cute in the process

[tribridfreakshow]

your priorities are so weird sometimes.

but i guess i can get on board with that.

[gasping]

we're not going to die.
i mean, i'm already dead, but you're not going to die. i don't want to get another roommate.
plus, my boyfriend just came back, i can't die now. it'd be a waste of all the earplugs i bought you.

[tribridfreakshow]

so really you just want to look cute as you're the last thing a bunch of una see.

[gasping]

oh, definitely!!!
i probably shouldn't snap their necks but we can totally knock them out for a while

[gasping]

[ and then a couple hours later, out of the blue: ]

so i was thinking

maybe we should move
not totally because i'm paranoid and don't want your dad like stalking us in our sleep or whatever
but also because my friend silena is still living in the safehouse and she's really good at braiding hair

[tribridfreakshow]

another roommate?

[her initial reaction is NO because she's got some serious intimacy issues but she shoves those on the backburner. at least for the moment.]

are you sure i'm not gonna like freak her out or anything?

[gasping]

she already knows i'm a vampire, so i doubt it
she offered to let me drink her blood like it was some kale superfood smoothie
