[That may or may not be a very faint bruise across the bridge of his nose. Elena's arm swing is a little stronger than it used to be and apparently he bruises now which is perfect.]

So how's being in the real world working out for everyone? Scale of zero to zero.

Remember, don't hurt yourselves with those brand new toys.

[Especially you, Elena.]

[For all that Elena is good at forgiving, Caroline is just as good at it. Perhaps it's more subtle, less often, but she can and does forgive more easily than most.

She considers his question, her eyes unfocusing for a moment before she nods.]

I feel... sluggish. Like everything is muted. Does that make sense? I don't feel... the same. I can't hear as well, my senses kinda suck compared to how they used to be.

Wait, do either of you happen to feel hungry for more the usual people blood?

But I feel different too. I keep waiting for, uh, whatever they did to me to wear off, but it hasn't. I feel weak. Definitely not human. But almost as weak as one.

The pamphlet... it said they haven't "perfected the art of creation" yet.

No. I don't.

[It would take a sick mind to invent his life for the amusement of others. Unless all he is is a monster, preying on intrepid teenage heroes and killing them off one-by-one in increasingly gruesome ways.

If that's the case, why bother with the rest of them? Elena, Damon, Caroline and Alaric. Is he supposed to be the villain in their stories too? No. It doesn't make much sense. His friends' lives deserve better than to be dismissed as fictional.]

But it's the only information we have to go on, and the story that the "Creators" are sticking to in their network post. I mean, what's the alternative?

Finding someone with the answers. We need to find out where these creepers are hiding and get them to send us back or something.
