[ elena has ensconced herself in the bathroom -- it's her turn to record a goodbye, and she doesn't want to do it in front of anyone else. at first she has no idea who to address the message to -- she only has enough time for one message, and she has so many people she wants to say goodbye to.
eventually she settles on damon, because... because they never did get around to that talk, and she wants to make sure he knows that she loved him. that may be more cruel than kind in the long run, but she doesn't want to die and leave damon with the wrong idea.
with a deep breath, she opens up a video feed on her communicator, the communication riddled with static, and forces a smile. ]
Hey, Damon. I don't have a lot of time, someo▒▒▒▓▓ ░░▒▒▒▓▓ ▒▒▓▓▒▒░░░░░ ░░░░░░ome in and record their, uh. Last goodbyes, I guess ▒▒▒▓▓▒ ▒░░▒▒▒▓▓░░ after I'm done. I just -- I wanted to tell you...
[ another deep breath. ]
I love you. I love you so much, Damon. I wish we h▒▒▒░░░ten around to that talk so I could have told you in person, but I guess this will have to do. I loved you when I chose Stefan and I'm sorry I never told you. I loved you when I ▒▒▒▓▓▒▒▒▒ ░░░░░░░░░ in Denver, and I'm sorry I didn't tell you then, too. I hope -- I hope you can forgive me for never ▒▒▒▓▓░░ ▒▒▒░░░░░░░░░░░░. I was afraid of what it would mean if I did, but I'm not afraid now. I love you. ▒▒▒▓▓▒▒░░▒▒▒▓▓▒▒▒▒▓▓▒▒░░░░░░░░░░░░
[ she wipes at her eyes and sniffles, trying very hard not to just start outright crying. ]
Take care of Jenna and Ric, okay? Please don't let them blame themselves t▒▒▓ ▒▒░░much for this. I know that they're going to feel like it's their fault for ▓▓▒ ▒░░ing me stay back but it isn't. Make sure they're okay.
And tell Caroline I'm sorry that we fought. I really hate that ▓▓▒▒ ░░▒▒▒▓▓▒ ▒▒▒▓▓▒▒░░░░░rsation we got to have. I hope things work out for her and Tyler -- oh, and tell Tyler I'm still really sorry ▒▒▒▒▓▓▒ spoilers.
I love you, Damon. I hope whatever version of me comes here next can admit that ▒▒▒▓▓▒▒░░ ▒▒▒▓▓▒ ▒▒▒▓▓▒▒░░░░░░░░░░░░.
[ the feed shuts off, and turns instead to static and white noise.
pretty speech, elena. too bad it went to the wrong person. ]

[He didn't stick around that hospital for very long. He's not much for confinement and experiments these days...
A part of him thinks there might be more to this place, considering the recent rash of vampire experimentation in town, but he's trying not to jump onto any St. Augustine cult theories just yet.
Scrolling the network... phone... tablet thing, he sees a familiar name and exhales a laugh before pressing the call connect.]
Now, this can't be the Caroline Forbes... can it?

[ With Elena being gone, Caroline's not exactly the happiest of campers at the moment. In fact, she's sitting in Elena's apartment, packing up her stuff when she hears a familiar voice come out of her phone... tablet thing.
She scrambles, reaching for it and pulling it to her ear--] Stefan? Is that you? [ it's going to video because she needs to see a familiar face and proof that it's him. She pulls the device back so he can see her face too.]

[His head cants, looking at her and yep, that is indeed Caroline - which means the Rebekah Mikaelson (how common is that name anyway?) is also probably the same one. His fingertips brush to his eyebrow as he turns on the video for her.]
Yeah, Caroline... it's me. This is - it's weird, right?
Yeah, Caroline... it's me. This is - it's weird, right?
[ She's not going to think about how this means that invariably they are going to have sex at some point. Probably... Nope. She's just focused on how glad she is to have a friend here. She brightens when she sees his face.]
I can't say that something weirder has ever happened. And that's saying something...

[He cracks a smile at her remark about this being the weirdest thing.]
Considering the summer we had? This... this is actually [His head nods a bit agreeing.] weirder than doppelgangerpalooza. [Too many syllables. He frowns, but shakes it off.]

Disappearing? [... there are not enough ellipsis in the world to represent his pause for unsure.]
Caroline, I talked to you last night and Elena was at the party with all of us at the Lockwood estate.
Caroline, I talked to you last night and Elena was at the party with all of us at the Lockwood estate.
Gone? [Hold on. He needs a minute to wrap his mind around this. Furrowing his brow he runs his hand through his hair and takes a breath.]
It hasn't been months... I mean, not since I saw you. Maybe hours and Elena left after talking with Damon. You haven't been missing at all. I would've noticed if you or Elena just vanished.

[ So the rumors are true and she looks a bit overwhelmed for a moment.] Time is... I mean I've been told that time is weird here. We've been here for months. I don't know how it's even possible How any of it is. And Elena... I guess she got sent back home. I've looked everywhere for her.
Months? But Elena is gone now -- and you're sure about that? Do you want me to come help you look?
Could she have been taken?
[He's already going to start moving to... wait, he doesn't know where to go.]
Where are you?
[He's already going to start moving to... wait, he doesn't know where to go.]
Where are you?
I don't know anyone who'd take her. I mean, Rebekah's here, but seriously? She'd probably brag about it if she did. [ Most people who kidnap people, in her vast experience want something or tell people.] Where are you? I'll come find you. [ She knows the city pretty well by now. It makes more sense.]
[Stefan isn't thinking that any of them would have kidnapped them... Rebekah hasn't even really been in town. Well, the other day when Klaus came into town...]
Hold on -- [He'll just hold out the tablet and rotate it slowly to reveal his current [insert location] location.]
Does that look familiar?
Hold on -- [He'll just hold out the tablet and rotate it slowly to reveal his current [insert location] location.]
Does that look familiar?
[ Caroline's pretty sure that if Klaus was here, she'd know that too. He can't really hide his creeper crush for her. And well, there's no reason for him to kidnap Elena anymore. Still, she inspects the camera and nods--]
Yeah, yes. I know where that is. I'm coming to get you.
Yeah, yes. I know where that is. I'm coming to get you.
Then I will be staying put.
[He'll just go... sit on this bench.] So, you've been here for months?
[He'll just go... sit on this bench.] So, you've been here for months?
[He frowns, glancing around, then returns his attention to the video.]
That is a long time and ... I'm not going to mess anything up if I tell you about the future, am I? [Because, he's really not going to explain the subject of their recent conversation. There's no need to cause her to panic and freak out ... over that too, right?]
