"Okay, so if I know what i'm doing-" Declan said, rolling out from under the ferris wheel, dirty from the repair work. "- this should now be working," he said, looking up at the ferris wheel to see it start to spin. "Thank god." @btiesstarters

✨ — While Lizzie did have a unique skill set, mechanics was not one of them, so watching the mayor roll out from under the ferris wheel, it practically seemed like magic as the machine roared to life and started to spin as was intended. "Good work, if magic wouldn't have fixed it, I would have just had to call it a day - glad you're handy though."

"I have been debating with myself for presumably more than twenty minutes whether I should buy new decorations for the home or not" Cami said, glanced up. There was an angel candle she wanted to buy, as well as some other things she had seen. Why was everything beautiful? She used to have it simple in the past, a messy home but simple "Decision are never easy. Did you buy something new to your home, or any other things you can recommend?"

✨ — in a season of change for the heretic - she knew better than most the need to redo everything, to make things her own when she had control of so little else, so when she was asked, she didn't hold back. "can't say that i'm the most wise person in the world, or the least impulsive, but i recommend it - you deserve to have something that sparks joy in your house."

🩸 — "The most wonderful time," the vampire practically sneered under his breath. Holidays tore him to shreds; with or without his family, it was torture all the same. His marriage, the relationship with his kids... Some years, he could pretend—play it up, force himself into the role, damn the consequences. That had become harder as the cracks deepened. The anticipation of resentment, rejection, weighed heavier.

♾️ — While Christmas had always been her mother's favorite holiday, and Abby's to, it was a struggle for Charlie St. John to feel the spirit of the season when everything was going to hell. The holidays were about family, about being together and joyful, but her family was torn apart, fractured, and with the world threatening to come apart at the very seams, she felt more inclined to agree with her father. "What's the point anyway? If we're going to cease to exist by New Years... or just living on ticking time bomb... I don't feel like pretending to be so happy for everyone else's sake."

♾️ — morning. what a great explanation, the st. john thought sarcastically as she crossed her arms and examined the salvatore, waiting for a more satisfying explanation. "testing out our couch... by sleeping on it... seems likely." and there is no way that her sarcasm isn't abundantly blatant. "or you could tell me the truth like i'm an adult... or at least come up with a more satisfying lie."

🔮— Penelope Park had more or less made it her life mission to avoid the family of her ex like the plague since they were stuck in a prison world together for all of eternity - but - when in Rome... So, when she was perusing the market, and saw the vampire, she decided to approach her. "Hey .... sorry to bother you but have you happened to see Josie at all?"

Bonnie finished crooning the last few lines of All I Want for Christmas as the applause started. She waved and smiled, giving a little bow before walking off the stage. "I don't think I quite did Mariah Carey justice, but I don't think I was terrible."

🔮— "It was better than listening to Mariah Carey again." the witch confirmed - one thing was certain after being locked away from the outside world as long as they had, they really needed new music or covers, and until that happened, live music would definitely fill the void. Shuffling slightly, having waited off stage to catch the Bennett, she still hesitated before asking "Do you think you have time for a quick consult?"

"I think we could all really use some Christmas spirit right now," Keelin said, as she worked to put the last of the decorations on the new Christmas tree in the main street, ready for the fair. "Though after this, I want to head over to the Mayor's office, I heard they are giving out Christmas hats to anyone that wants them." @btiesstarters

🔮— "Multiple murders where it should be practically impossible doesn't holly your jollies?" Penelope asked coldly before rolling her eyes - knowing if nothing else she should be kinder to the werewolf but struggling to find the motivation. "I;m sure the mayor will love that with his dazzling personality..."

♊ — "Sweet treats have always been a weak spot for me." the gemini confessed as he perused the wares of the stall. It was filled to the brim with opportunities and options. After mulling them over, he decided on "Both, definitely both, and then we'll see where we go from there."

♊ — "Sorry. Did you say something?" The hybrid rose to his feet, eying the other—a mix of curiosity and amusement. "If you're wondering what I was doing, no you're not." From where they both were standing, there was zero evidence of anything nefarious; but what else would one expect from an invisibility-spell swinging Gemini outcast.

♊ — "Nope." The gemini accentuated the p in his response as he watched his father rise to his feet - acting as suspicious as ever. As if on cue the elder of the two wrote off his actions, and it was enough to earn the cock of an eyebrow. "So, I'm just supposed to what... not ask any questions?"

Jackson had made his way back to the Bayou on foot... or paw. It was outside the city when he heard the Christmas music and the crowd that he stopped, noting that his stash of clothes had been moved. He turned back into his human form and called out to someone as they walked by. "You might handing me some pants." @btiesstarters

♊ — Ajay Parker had found himself in numerous precarious positions over the years, some more unique than troubling, and when he came across an apparently nude man, he wished he could say that was the weirdest he'd ever seen. Still, it definitely took the cake today. "... Do you want me to give you mine or...? I don't exactly carry an extra pair on me."

🌙 — hope crossed her arms and really looked at the other. "i want evidence. i want something tangible. all we have is our best guesses, and i'm tired. what do we really know?" the things she did know, like josie causing the storm in mystic falls... it only made her more scared, more afraid of what else they would uncover. his question struck her, catching her off guard and forced to defensively reply: "betrayal." all she could think about is who could be behind it all, and what would happen if they mattered to somebody. what if they mattered to her.

♊ — the gemini crossed his own arms in response to the tribrid, listening as she explains exactly what she's been looking for. hard evidence, no theories or conspiracies, something she could really sink her teeth into it. "when you've eliminated every other possibility whatever remains, no matter how improbable, is your answer. it's clearly not the work of someone trying to help us... which means it's either someone intentionally trying to tear everything apart, or unintentionally changing the ecosystem... either way, betrayal seems to hit the mark spot on."
