video | Do I dazzle you?

[alsoagirl]

[ Good evening, Wonderland! Jessica's super perky and giggly. There's so much for her to be happy about! So now everyone gets to witness her trying to be a vlogger, because she is pointedly ignoring anything involving someone's dumb supernatural call out post. ]

There's so much romance floatin' around, I swear, and it's not even Valentine's Day. Not that I've ever known what it's like to be with someone 'round then, but whatever. [ She waves that off. ] People're gettin' married, it's sweater weather and time for cuddlin'... [ She sighs happily. ] It got me wantin' to read somethin' warm and happy for once.

[ She needed something to distract her from her burning desire for vengeance, okay? ]

But okay, so, I just started this series I've always being dyin' to read. Like, it didn't even occur to me that I could do it here! And now I can and it's so good.

[ Jessica's clutching the first book of said mystery series in her hands, the top of it just barely visible on screen. It's like she had to hug it a little to make her point. This shit's the best thing since sliced bread! ]

I know not everybody's from the same world, but somebody's bound to know about it, right? And I bet at least one person's read it, 'cause it's so popular. Like, it's a movie!

[ And so, the lion finally reveals to the lambs what book she means... ]

So, anybody read Twilight? I wanna talk with you all about it!

[ Yes. She is dead serious. ]

People are getting married? Here?

[ You know what, she's not touching the Twilight thing. Live and let live, to each their own, etc. etc. ]

[alsoagirl]

Yeah, totally!

[ She grins...and then it fades. ]

Is...that a bad thing?

[ Did Wonderland curse marriages?! ]

[efficacy]

I-- no. No, I didn't mean that it's a bad thing.

I guess I was just surprised to hear it. That people would make such commitments here when there are no guarantees about... well, anything. This place is not exactly stable.

[ What if either one of the newly married couple gets sent back home? Pepper's quiet for a beat, before sighing. ]

But, maybe that's the reason why they're doing it. Seize the moment.

[alsoagirl]

Hmm, yeah. [ Her head tilts thoughtfully. ] Guess it doesn't matter in the long run sometimes...

[ Jessica's definitely thinking along the same lines. What if she up and left? What then?

It makes what Kol's done for her suddenly that much more special. ]

God. I never thought about it like that. Am I, like, vampire-married now?

[ Yep, she's slipped away into her own mind. She'll be right back. ]

[efficacy]

[ This girl. Pepper arches a brow, torn between amusement and curiosity. ]

...Vampire-married?

[alsoagirl]

Well. [ She laughs a bit, returning to reality. ] This vampire I know gave me a really special ring. And I dunno if that's, like, a next step in his world or somethin'.

[ Whatever, she's going to hope it is. ]

Nobody gives you a ring for no reason, right?

[efficacy]

Not usually, no.

[ Rings especially had all kinds of assumed implications attached to them. Pepper can't blame Jessica for wondering. ]

Maybe you should ask him.

[alsoagirl]

Oh my God, no way!! That'd make things way awkward!

[ Because of course it's way easier to wonder endlessly than to get a straight answer. These adults! ]

We got a real good thing goin'. I don't wanna ruin it somehow. And, well, I can tell he's the type that doesn't like to put labels on things.

[ It's a perfectly normal, crystal clear relationship she's got with Kol. ]
