[Parachuting in would appear to be a novel way to be dumped into Camp, and perhaps even a little impressive and cool.

Until one's parachute catches on the edge of a barn, leaving one hanging, as well as dislodging your camcorder and all you can do is dangle helplessly as it it clatters to the ground, breaking its lens]

-DAMMIT. I swear. Never

[suddenly, from behind him]

Hanna.

[painintheneck]

[looking into his eyes. hmm. her voice gets quieter, more intimate, and suddenly it's like everything she's saying makes perfect sense. why would she lie?]

You don't need to be afraid of me. I wouldn't hurt you.

[crisscrossing]

I know.

[painintheneck]

You need to understand that what I did... I had no choice.

[crisscrossing]

I-I believe you.

[painintheneck]

The girl asked me to turn her. She wanted to be strong. I was trying to help her feel less afraid.

What Elijah did was out of line. He's decided that here, I can't be a queen. But why should he get to deny my station and continue to act as if his status as an original remains in place? He's certainly not an original where I come from. Does that seem fair to you, Hanna?

[crisscrossing]

[shakes his head]

[painintheneck]

[she smiles]

Thank you, Hanna. I knew you would understand.

[and with that, she drops her eyes from his and effectively ends the glamor]

[crisscrossing]

[blinks a few times]

So--erm--you're not mad?

[painintheneck]

Oh, no! Well. Not at you.

[crisscrossing]

O-okay.

[painintheneck]

Elijah is another matter, but I can't say I'm not used to dealing with power-hungry vampires who are desperately overcompensating for their own sad, sad lives. I'll deal with him.

[crisscrossing]

... I know he was way out of line, but--you shouldn't make him your enemy, yanno? It's not worth it.

[painintheneck]

... No, probably not.

But I won't let myself be bullied.
