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. ]

Yeah, I don't buy that. [But that's all he'll say on the matter, really. He'll let it drop unless she feels the need to keep on about it.

He watches her toy with and consider the ring before she actually puts it on.]

I don't make promises I won't keep. [He may have incredibly twisted views on very many subjects, but he does generally tend to try to keep his word. Unless that word was just deceit all along and part of a bigger plan, but honestly, details! He'd really meant this all along!

Aaaand then she's crying. Why is she crying? Bloody hell.]

What's too much? Bloody hell, Jessica, get it together. [Blood tears are still weird. He's not good with regular crying, why does her have to be so.... extra?]

[alsoagirl]

Shut up! I'm havin' a moment!

[ At this point, she's bent over with one hand holding her hair back. It might look like she's about to barf, but no, she's just trying to make the tears drip to the ground to keep them off her cheeks. Having a handkerchief on her at all times was starting to seem like a very good idea.

Jessica stays like that for a few minutes, sniffling every now and then. When she's feeling calmer, she straightens back up. Her eyes are rimmed with a lovely red hue, but the rest of her face has been spared. Success!

After scrubbing at her nose, she grumbles at him. ]

This is a really big fuckin' deal, okay! I didn't think I'd be seein' the sun again anytime soon!

[ She gives him a petulant stare, her lower lip quivering as if she might cry again, but instead she steps over to tug him into a hug, whether he wants it or not. ]

Thanks, jerk.

[itchtokill]

[He watches her for a moment, glad to see her right herself after a moment or two. He's smirking and trying not to laugh as she yells at him about the sun and the big deal this all is.]

You're welcome.

[alsoagirl]

[ She snorts, pulling back and giving him a look. ] You don't have to say it like that.

[ Figuring it's best not to let the affectionate gestures go on for too long, she lets go and steps away. Honestly, though? There was a part of her that wanted to keep holding on. With Kol's unpredictability, however, she was just a tiny bit afraid to take chances. Who the hell knew where he'd toss her this time?

Instead of worrying herself with that for too long, Jessica raises her hand to look at the ring more. ]

God, just...I've spent so much time here worryin' I might get thrown out in the sun again and won't be as lucky as when it first happened. Now I got this. [ A sudden thought strikes her. ] And oh my God, I might actually be able to not worry 'bout my room bein' light-tight! I can just--

[ She presses her lips together to calm the tremble in them. ] I can be normal.

[itchtokill]

[It's a strange thing, seeing her reaction to this. But he hasn't really had issues with the sun in a very, very long time and it's almost hard to remember what that had been like at all. The daylight rings were relatively common in certain circles of the vampire community back home, so it's easy to forget how much of an issue it can truly be for some.]

At least that is a worry you can put behind you now. I dunno about normal, but-- [He shrugs a bit.] close enough. [He grins.]

[alsoagirl]

Asshole. [ She hops close enough to sock him in the arm. Lightly and playfully, though! Very lightly and playfully. ] I know I'm not normal!

[ With a soft, happy sigh, she lifts her hand up higher this time, wiggling her fingers, watching the moonlight play through them and the ring sparkle.

Now? It wouldn't be too long until that would be sunlight.

After dropping her hand, she glances over at him, smirking. ]

'Sides, you're not exactly the prime example of normalcy, Mister Kol Mikaelson.
