001 ⚜️ Video ⚜️ Bonfire season

[Kol is a social creature, and it's easy for him to fall into old habits of many years past and seek out whatever company he can garner. And there's few ways easier to gain company than a party.

He'd adapted rather quickly to 21st century technology upon being undaggered a year ago back in Mystic Falls, and the bracelets aren't so different from the phones there. So it's no time before he's broadcasting to the masses.

He looks at ease, and absolutely pleased about whatever message he's prepared to deliver.]


It's certainly bonfire season, by all accounts, near as I can tell and it's got me thinking-- what sort of family traditions do we all carry with us? And do you personally still put them to practice, without your family around?

[He leans forward, just a bit for emphasis.]

I've got tons, but one in particular for the approaching new year. There's not really a name for it, exactly, it's just a tradition we had growing up and, despite my siblings being absolute prats when I left them, I still rather find myself missing them.

[A clap of his hands and he leans back.]

So, I figure I'll do bonfire wishes when the time comes. It's real simple. Write down a hope or a wish for yourself or your friends for the coming year and burn it for luck. And the rest is just making a party of it to bring in the new year!

If anyone's actually interested in such a celebration... I'll throw something together and let you lot know closer to it. Otherwise, I s'pose it'll just be something I do on my lonesome in Tyr's district.

[There's a shrug at the idea. It's a simple, old Mikaelson family tradition and he won't particularly be fussed if he doesn't get many bites on it. But it would be nice to have something of his own little soirée to look forward to.]

[Ariadne never shows her face on camera. But that somehow doesn't keep her enthusiasm from coming through, all the same.

And she loves traditions. Collects them like other people might collect butterflies or foreign coins. So it's no surprise that she's ready to respond almost immediately.]


What a beautiful tradition! I like it very much! I would love to see something like that, if I might.
demonicbeauty: (Awkward)

["Darling." Again with the casual endearments. It must be a cultural thing and she should be patient with that.

But it still gives her a moment's pause, before she continues.]


Thank you. I'll try not to get in the way.
demonicbeauty: (Amused)

[personal profile] demonicbeauty 2019-12-22 03:14 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, I'm very good at it.

[She laughs. A clear, bell-like laugh.]

I have a tendency to get underfoot. Too many questions. Usually at the wrong moment.
demonicbeauty: (Playful)

[personal profile] demonicbeauty 2019-12-22 11:15 pm (UTC)(link)
You sound a little bit like Odin.
madcuriosity: (Oh what is this?)

A bonfire? I've never been to one before [Being seven does not allow for terribly many life experiences just yet.]! What does one do at a bonfire besides make a wish? Should we bring anything?

He always encourages me to ask questions. No one else is ever that patient.
demonicbeauty: (Surprised)

[personal profile] demonicbeauty 2019-12-24 06:00 pm (UTC)(link)
[There's a pause. Followed by some surprise in her voice.]

You've lived a millennia?
demonicbeauty: (Confused)

[personal profile] demonicbeauty 2019-12-24 06:34 pm (UTC)(link)
I would remember something like that...
demonicbeauty: (Considering)

[personal profile] demonicbeauty 2019-12-24 06:40 pm (UTC)(link)
But...

You don't look a day over...I don't know...twenty?

[She's bad at Human ages. Of course, he can't possibly be Human, can he?]
demonicbeauty: (Awkward)

[personal profile] demonicbeauty 2019-12-24 06:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh.

[How else can she react to that?]

I've never met a...person that old before.
demonicbeauty: (Interested)

[personal profile] demonicbeauty 2019-12-24 06:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Not Human...

[She pauses, choosing her words carefully.]

I should apologize. I assumed...

I mean, you said your mother was a witch and...where I come from...only Humans can be witches.

May I ask what you are?
demonicbeauty: (Listening)

[personal profile] demonicbeauty 2019-12-24 07:05 pm (UTC)(link)
A vampire?

[It's a word she's clearly never heard or said before.]

But not anymore? That sounds confusing.
demonicbeauty: (Awkward)

[personal profile] demonicbeauty 2019-12-24 07:24 pm (UTC)(link)
[She's quiet for a moment. Carefully considering each word. Both his and her own.

Asgard has started teaching her not to be afraid. But you can't undo a lifetime of conditioning and training all at once.]


I think...I think I may understand what you mean. At least a little.

[Maybe that's too much. She rushes on quickly.]

And no, I've never heard of vampires before. I'm sorry.
