[a purchase delivered]

[ruevealing]

[Delivered in a pale pink box embossed with Hoot Couture in gold along the top, Elena will find the discussed upon daytime gear - big hats with pretty veils and high collared blouses with gloves - wrapped beautifully in a heap of matching pink and gold tissue paper. And there on the top, is a matching postcard that reads:]

Welcome to the daytime, my friend. Let's do lunch soon!
xxxx
Rue

a text back as a thank you

[vervains]

Thank you so so much!!! I'd love to do lunch but it'll have to be my treat!

[ruevealing]

A weekend brunch would be divine! Bottomless mimosas perhaps?

[vervains]

That sounds absolutely amazing! I'll put it down for any weekend you're free

[ruevealing]

To be perfectly honest, I will be quite busy planning for my wedding the next few weeks, but I know there will come a turning point where I will need a break!

Mid-March perhaps?

[vervains]

Mid-march sounds great. And if you need help with your wedding, let me know please! I actually have a ton of experience with planning big balls and parties and following specific directions for them!

[ruevealing]

We have similar backgrounds! I spent a few millennia as an event planner for the upper-class fae. Party planning is quite a passion of mine, along with fashion, naturally.

[vervains]

You've got a tiny bit more experience than me or Caroline, but it still reminds me of her. Mystic Falls, my hometown, held this big Founder's Day celebration every year that included a pageant and a big party. I bet whatever you put together for your wedding will pale in comparison though!

[ruevealing]

Truth be told, it will easily be the hundredth or two hundredth wedding I've throw, but it will also be the second I've thrown for myself.

That makes me more nervous than anything.

[vervains]

Why does it make you more nervous?

[ruevealing]

There are expectations there!

[expectations they set themself, no doubt]

Comparisons between the two, will the second be greater and grander and just as meaningful as the first? Will it be perceived as being not as special being the second? These are the things I assume others will think.

[vervains]

Were a lot of people here at the first one?

[ruevealing]

[rue can see exactly where this is going!! do not logic at them!]

A handful. Mostly my sons and perhaps one or two other friends.

[fogsong]

You can walk in the sun, right? Is this natural for vampires where you come form?

Sorry if this is too nosy, btw. I promise I'm not trying to find a way to murder you!

[vervains]

I can only do it because I have a ring that lets me. Without it I'd have a really bad time in the sun

.... Okay now I'm a tiny bit concerned about the murder...

[fogsong]

I, Sharon Da Silva, promise that I'm not thinking about murdering Elena Gilbert. Not even a tiny, little bit. She's too cool to die. Again.

I'm actually trying to find a way to let Mayerling walk in the sun without using his wings. I figured you were one of the best people to turn to. [ It helps that she trusts Elena a great deal. ] I'm guessing the ring is magical?

[ Honestly... she's upset she didn't think of some enchanted jewelry. ]

[vervains]

I'm screenshotting that just in case I have to use it later!

Oh that's sweet of you. I could show it to you if you want to get an idea of what it is. You might be able to find a witch here that could do it or you could ask the Fox for one with lore. I wanted this one because my best friend Bonnie made it for me so...you know, sentimental. The spell doesn't have to be on rings either

[fogsong]

Make sure you bust that out if I ever try. That'd work like a cross against me.

Cannot believe I didn't consider enchanted jewelry. I'd love to check it out. Also sounds like you were really lucky to have a witch best friend. Real shame she isn't here to enjoy the insanity of Folkmore with us.

[vervains]

Those aren't really an issue for our kinda vampires back home. Crosses of course

I'd be happy to show you. Can only take it off if it's night or we're inside or I'm going to have another bad experience

omg you have no idea how much I wish she were here or how lucky I am to have her back home. There's nothing she can't do or solve.

[fogsong]

Wait, really? You good with garlic and holy water, too? Cause the Nobility (yeah, vampires where Mayerling are from are called Nobility, kind of tells you a lot about them) are almost classic Dracula-style vamps.

Won't let you burn in my presence again! Don't worry, Elena!

Okay, you make her sound like Wonder Woman.

[vervains]

See where I'm from the Original vampires (they're called that) spread the myths about garlic and holy water and all that to try to make it harder to actually figure out how to kill them. ...and I think just to fuck with people partially some of them would be all about going by 'Nobility' haha

No offense to Wonder Woman but Bonnie's better

[fogsong]

Okay but that's smart! Are they really the Original vampires, though?

Oh wow! Okay, tell me the coolest thing she's done? Lasso of truth?

[vervains]

Yup, they are. How they became it is really messy too

She resurrected my brother and channeled the powers of 100 dead witches. She saved my life too before I became a vampire..

[fogsong]

Okay, so I was going to ask about the mess of the Original vamps but I really gotta hear more about Bonnie. She sounds powerful as hell.

I can't imagine what it takes to resurrect someone. The fact she did it for your brother? Fuck, that's the biggest best friend energy I've ever heard of.

[vervains]

We've been friends since we were kids, so she saved him for her too. They were kinda a 'it's complicated' thing

But she also saved Damon for me and Stefan even though she 100000000% hates him and also nearly killed him a few times but didn't because she didn't want to hurt me. Which I owe her for because she has every reason ever to hate him.
