Diary Entry 01 [video]

[dutybred]

[John is standing near his new "house", fiddling with his bracelet. He's taken everything he's heard and let it sink in before finally seeing what this bracelet can do. He's familiar enough with smartphones and webcams that he gets the hang of it fairly quickly.

His eyes glance over his shoulder to Loki house, then back to the camera. He gives his audience a charming smile]

Can someone please explain to me why Loki's colors have to be orange? I know we serve under the god of mischief, but do we have to look so tacky doing it?

I am so sorry.

It would've been worse if my ancestor hadn't left weapons and helpful tips behind.

[dutybred]

Something to call you when I have questions would be a good start.

[recorders]

I wouldn't— quite call our particular shade of orange tacky.

[ ...That defense could have been ten times better. Probably. ]

[dutybred]

I guess it's an acquired taste.

The Doctor! The eleventh one, if you must.

[dutybred]

I see. Well, I'm John, the second one. But I prefer just "John".

[ It's time like these when he more than misses having that keen sense of hearing. Damon's a little confused about who Elena was having that video call with, but it's clearly someone from home. Why else would she mention that bit about the car accident. ]

Who are we meeting? [ Damon lets out a slight pout, not too happy about welcoming another person from Mystic Falls; Stefan's here -- that's enough for now. He takes one quick look around the hall, not seeing a familiar face except from some skinny blond nobody. ]

I'm guessing it's not your annoying brother.

[madcuriosity]

Then you're going to be writing a tomb. [She means tome.]

[There's a nonchalant shrug that can be heard in his voice.]

Couple weeks or so? Not very long.

voice }

[dutybred]

Hm. Seen any battles yet?

voice }

[somanyadjectives]

No, but I've seen the aftermath. And Elena has.

[He wasn't there for that or he likes to believe he would have stopped her. Elena wouldn't have let him. Damon didn't know she was going until she was gone.]

[dutybred]

[oh, it's always a joy seeing the older Salvatore brother. Not really, but John knows how to behave. Though he probably won't since Damon conveniently doesn't know anything about him. When he sees the former vampire, John gives him a smile]

No, just her estranged uncle. My name's John.

voice }

[dutybred]

Of course she has. [such an odd mix of pride and frustration. He wishes Elena could stay out of messes, but he is also a bit pleased that she still goes into them anyway]

[Video]

[dutybred]

[he laughs] I already did.

'Killing Vampires For Dummies?' [he can't help but raise an eyebrow and laugh a bit at that.] Props to your ancestors--it's rare that people actually have foresight.

[dutybred]

[an amused noise. If only Johnathan's journals were as understandable as "For Dummies" books]

And now that I'm here, it's time to start a journal of Asgard. I'd love to get your insights, if you can manage to tear yourself away from the lovely halls of Baldr.

[Video]

[madcuriosity]

You have? Here?

[Video]

[dutybred]

Back home. It was very grave work, but I had to see the plot through. [he can wordplay too ]

[Video]

[madcuriosity]

Ah, what happened?

[Video]

[dutybred]

I finished writing and then I showed up here. Not the ending I expected, but the gods have their own ideas.

[Video]

[madcuriosity]

[She already said no one ever expected coming here.]

And you're in Mr. Loki's house. That's a very good house to be in.

[galvanist]

I haven't been here as long as others but I'll gladly tell you what I know. Name the time and place.

[Video]

[dutybred]

Oh? [now that's something he didn't think he would hear] What do you find good about it?

video;

[dutybred]

I'd have to know the places first. I'm meeting a lovely young lady soon; I'll ask her to show me around.
