wariscoming [2 years]

The game was centered in Lawrence, Kansas, set within the Supernatural universe. Sam Winchester made a massive mistake when he completed all of the tasks previously thought meant to stop the Apocalypse. Instead, he released Lucifer from his Cage and set the end of days into motion. During the breaking of one of the Seals, a rip in space and time was created and the broken Seal started dragging people from other universes into Lawrence. The Apocalypse was coming and the best guess as to why people were pulled from other worlds was simple: They were meant to help stop it from happening. The thought was that if they stopped it, everyone would be sent home, purpose complete. There were many trying events created by magic, such as people turning into animals or power sets being flipped, only being able to speak in rhymes or select groups of people being sent to other worlds in the multiverse temporarily, and many other unthinkable sorts of things. Along with these, there were the demons and other various monsters plaguing the world that needed hunting and killing. There were moral quandaries in every direction, sometimes the Seal allowed less than savory people through and they had mass murderers and the like to deal with on top of keeping on track with ending the Apocalypse. People set into their lives and tried to live as normally as possible, despite everything. Some people managed to make friendships, even families during their time there. Others chose to isolate themselves for risk of being hurt if the Seal took their loved ones away. Slice-of-life meets the Apocalypse. Welcome to Lawrence.

2013-2015

Kol arrives in Lawrence shortly after his death in a whole hell of a lot of confusion because this does not look even a little bit like The Other Side. And he's pretty sure he's alive and is not at all sure how that happened, considering the flaming glory he went out in moments before. Soon after, he finds familiar faces—his siblings are here, the day is saved! Sort of. Shortly after settling in, he has a run-in with Vicki Donovan and Jeremy Gilbert. This goes about as well as can be expected. He kind of takes a bit of a liking to Vicki, but when Jeremy waltzes up it kind of sours his mood. There's a lot of blaming going on because Jeremy was part of the Gilbert-kids tag-team that did him in, and Jeremy hasn't lived that and feels it's unfair to be judged for future actions he hasn't actually committed. Kol finds out Vicki has no control when she has an almost-accident during one of Bobby Singer's hunter's camp sessions. He talks to her brother Matt about how best to help her and handle this. Despite some initial wariness, Matt agrees and Kol takes Vicki under his wing and helps teach her control of her still too-new vampire abilities. His methods aren't conventional, but it works. Eventually seeking out advice from people about his family and their many dramas, Kol ends up with a few rather unlikely friendships. First, Rose Tyler, who happens to be the very first person outside of his family that he opened up to about anything serious. She became a sort of rock and foundation in his support group. Next, Lois Lane (Smallville style), became another quick and fast confidant for him. These two women, who knew the vague broad strokes of all that he'd done, still gave him the chance to begin building himself into a better version of who he was, and they kind of formed the foundation of a lot of the way things changed for him later. In the early days of September, now 3 months into his new and ever-changing, ever-dramatic life in Lawrence, Kol poses a question to the masses of the displaced: Why are some people vilified for bad, future actions they have yet to commit, while others are given a free pass? This naturally leads to a lot of arguments breaking out, but it also created several conversations for Kol to truly consider. Including one in particular with Robin Hood, who actually managed to shed some light on how sometimes, people just have to accept things as they are, even when they don't make sense or they are unfair. Around the end of the month, Kol is possessed by a demon. A demon puppeting an Original went down about as well as could be expected. He ruined all of the work that Kol and Vicki had done to get her on a good track, tortured an innocent vampire for grins and giggles, and generally tried to wreck every single relationship Kol had built in his short time here. Kol is trapped inside his own head with no way out and has to watch while friends and family members alike are fooled into believing he's the one behind the words being said and actions taking place. When the demon goes on the run, it takes almost a week before Rebekah catches up and exorcises it, sending it straight back to hell. However, a complication arises when, on the way out, the demon flips the switch on Kol's emotions and he spends another week or so outside of his usual self where he continues to wreck his personal relationships and brags a lot to Crowley, who the vampire has been sort of in an bit of an on-going fling with for a few weeks, about his skills in the bedroom. Eventually, Lexi, the psychotic vampire whisperer, manages to strike a nerve and get Kol to feel something and eventually turn his emotions back on. This is what she does, she's good at helping people come back from their time off the rails and get back to who they really are. Mid-way through October, an attack is launched on the main apartment complex occupied by most of the displaced and several other important buildings around the city. Caroline Forbes, the girl that brother Klaus has taken such a liking to and is dating and who happens to mostly be adopted by the family now, is killed in the explosion. Nik handles it really horribly, as expected. A few days later, Kol is the one that finds Caroline when she returns, thanks to magic from the Seal. He also discusses some family drama with Crowley, who he's recently started seeing in a pretty casual way. November spells trouble when Crowley ends up in over his head with Lucifer and Kol has a lot of emotions about it. The pair of them escape to a hotel for some quality time and end up having a pretty deep and serious conversation that reveals the very beginnings of something a little bit more like a relationship than a fling, even if neither of them are anywhere near close to admitting it. Everything that the community of the displaced and locals involved as a whole have been working and building toward finally comes to a head, December brings the Apocalypse along with it and everyone has to play their part. Kol spends time with Crowley in the aftermath of the hardest, most brutal battle anyone could have fought. With Rebekah, and several others, lost to the Cage in the final moments, the remaining displaced are left to regroup and begin repairs on the city at large, while Crowley and a handful of others work on finding a way to hopefully open the Cage and retrieve the fallen, without also releasing Lucifer and Michael all over again and making all their efforts be for nothing. In the end, with some rather tricky and detailed spell work, the trapped are released from the Cage and reunions happen all around. Their time in the place was brutal, and equivalent of the levels of hell detailed out in Dante's Inferno, living in constant loops of terror and pain and hunger and rage. The toll on those involved is harsh, and the oncoming weeks and months thereafter are hard, particularly for Rebekah, who in addition to the mental and emotional pain and detachment, is also having trouble feeding as a result. Early January brings a long since-lost, but never forgotten little brother to the Mikaelsons, which does at least, tend to help bring the siblings closer. At least for awhile, and for his sake. Mid-way through the month, still reeling from recently managing the gaining back of Cage victims—and rather successfully, thanks—and all that had come with it, including keeping Ruby calm and a temporarily emotionless Rebekah, Crowley gives Kol a gift. His bones, and his true name. And it's all in the name of safe-keeping and ensuring no one can get utterly rid of him now that Crowley's taking on being King of Hell. But it also is a weirdly huge step in their relationship, in the trust they have built into each other by now. February brings a need for a very specific brand of advice that only Rebekah can offer, and quickly leads to a vampire and a demon admitting things to each other in terms they've never spoken of before. That dreaded, feared, never-whispered L-word exists between them now. And will promptly be rarely ever used again because what is normal, anyway? Later in the month, Ruby's attitude over the open discussion of contingency plans against the Mikaelsons—and, admittedly also others deemed in any form dangerous, but those are details too deep for a brief summary—and chats with Elijah a bit about it, among other things. After an odd, Seal-wibble of magic in March that turned most of his siblings into the much smaller, much more human, much more adorable and sweetest versions of themselves while Kol was suddenly the oldest, he goes off to think for a bit. Muse over things that were said to him by the tiny versions of his siblings. And Nik just happens to find him and they have an honest-to-God, great, brotherly moment for the first time in a very long while. April brought with it a lot of drama, in the arrival of Marcel Gerard, Kol's mostly-nephew and one of the more important of Nik's sires, as well as Anna Milton, the angel that Crowley had once had a thing with. The news of Marcel's arrival was met with a lot more joy than other things, but as with all levels of Mikaelson situation, there was a bit of drama. Mostly in form of Kol realizing that in the future, none of his siblings had spoken word of his death to Marcel. He chats with Caroline about it, because going over it with family would only lead to more hurt than was necessary, given none of them were from the proper point in the timeline to actually give reason to their actions. Somewhere between all the drama that Anna had brought with her—panic that Crowley would leave him, jealousy of what he knows was once between the angel and the demon, the paranoid thought that maybe Anna would steal him away somehow—she and Kol manage a rather perfect moment, which sort of changes everything for all three of them. When Elijah makes the decision to marry Katherine, much to all of his family's annoyance and warnings of how bad of a life decision this will clearly turn out to be, Kol makes a point to her, just to make sure she knows what will befall her if she hurts his brother. Again. Summer of 2014, a good several months out from the Apocalypse and the Cage, and things are still rather hard on Rebekah. She feels too much, was hurt too hard by her time trapped in the Cage—all just to save Nik, what a waste, he's done nothing but make her regret it ever since, though she'd never change a thing about her actions if given the chance at a do-over—and ultimately is still having a lot of issues feeding. Kol tries to give her the space she needs, but when she calls, he's always there, for any distracting or comforting that he can offer. When he catches a bit of time to himself, Kol just sort of has to take a bit of time to sort his head. All of Rebekah's issues, added with plenty of other family issues in all directions—Rebekah's marriage to Stefan Salvatore, Elijah's engagement to Katherine, Nik's entire lack of grace at accepting that Rebekah sacrificed herself for him at the Cage, a plan conceived by Jacen Solo to help the family see things from each other's eyes that includes a lot of loss of agency which was met with a lot of wariness—Kol decides to try and move things along. Find a way to fix it, or at least get on the track to it. His attempt utterly backfires, quite epically and ends in Klaus ultimately deciding to disown the lot of them, save Henrik. Kol doesn't handle it well at all because he's done nothing in his time in Lawrence but try to fix things and make a better go of things with his family this time in this place where they had the chance to be more than what they ever were back home. And every time, it's been thrown in his face and burned to the ground. This particular instance was just a last straw that, while everyone may have expected on some level, no one ever saw as something that would ever truly come to light. And now that it has...a family is broken. Utterly, heartbreakingly broken, with no sign of possible repair in the future. Christmas brought the anniversary of the battle at the Cage a year ago. Rebekah was hit hard over it, as was Kol. They, along with their respective significant others, helped each other through it. But it also meant it was time for another infamous Lawrence Christmas bauble wish-- and Kol made a big one. He wished to be a witch again, which meant all of his usual vampire capabilities were null and gone-- he's human, and he has his magic, and that's that.

Notable CR

The Vampire Diaries/Originals Elijah Mikaelson: Eldest brother; the hardest one to make have fun, but somehow Kol manages it on a semi-frequent basis. They've grown much closer in their time away from home. Niklaus: Older brothers with superiority complexes are the worst, aren't they? Nik takes the cake on that score, and despite Kol's attempts to begin repairing things between them, Nik had rather disowned most of his siblings and, as might be expected, things were left in a bit of a blazing ruin by the end. Rebekah: These two are thick as thieves and it's only gotten better with time. Rebekah is his closest confidant, no doubt. Kol talks to her about everything. Henrik: The little brother long-lost, there are a lot of emotions tied up in his arrival in Lawrence. Kol often helps his brother learn magic. Stefan Salvatore: It was a rocky start, but his now brother-in-law is a rather steady presence in Kol's life. They may not ever be best friends, but they can be civil, they can even have fun together on occasion. Caroline Forbes: Vampire Barbie, girlfriend of Nik, adoptive sister. They have gone through a lot of ups and downs through the years, but ultimately Kol sees her as family at this point. Lexi Branson: An unlikely friendship in many ways, Lexi is one of the bounciest, bubbliest people in his social circle. She also helped him come back from the demon switching off his emotions when he was possessed. Damon Salvatore: They're kind of party-friends, but nothing too much deeper beyond surface level. Elena Gilbert: Hates her. That's it, that's the entire story. He has a vendetta against her for killing him, and the rest of the vampires in his line. It's an irreparable thing, and nothing can undo it. Ever. Katherine Pierce: [off-screen, because I played both] Antagonistic, disagreeable. Kol doesn't like her at all until much later, and still he only tolerates her because of her relationship with Elijah. He'll never fully like or trust her. Marcel Gerard: Practically his nephew. Good buddies for the most part, but there's history and issues in the background, too. And as with most Mikaelson history, it's full of blood and betrayal. Rose-Marie: One of Kol's absolute best friends from ages ago, and it's been since rekindled since her arrival in Lawerence. Supernatural Crowley: This was never meant to become what it did. Really. It was only supposed to be a one night stand. Then it became a fling. And then there were feelings?! It was disgusting. And yet, completely unstoppable. Anna Milton: First, it was awkward. Then, it was weird. Eventually, they just become an angel-demon-vampire triad and it didn't make sense but it worked for them. Ruby (2.0): Occasional frenemy, mostly an antagonistic force remains between them. Jo Harvelle: Nothing all that significant, he just thinks she's kind of judgy because she won't let him in The Road House on account of being a vampire, despite any evidence to the contrary of his being ready to rip into someone at a bar. Marvel universe (comics, MCU, etc) Loki: Acquaintances. Mostly, Kol knows of and about him, more than he knows the bloke personally. The Lizzie Bennet Diaries Lydia Bennet: One of many in Kol's circle of happy, bouncy, bubbly girl friends that really makes no sense to be in his social circle, but found a way to insert herself into it, anyway. Harry Potter Lily Luna Potter: The epitome of his "happy bouncy bubbly girls" crew. A witch he's rather fond of. DC comics and other 'verses Lois Lane: One of the very first people, besides Rose Tyler, that Kol opened up to that was not family. She was an integral part of his journey to becoming a better person and one of his closest friends. Doctor Who Rose Tyler: One of the very first people, besides Lois Lane, that Kol opened up to that was not family. She was an integral part of his journey to becoming a better person and one of his closest friends. Also, never forget: she's the best party-thrower this side of the multiverse. Being Human (UK) Alex Millar: Drinking buddies who became fast friends. Alex is someone Kol has grown incredibly attached to, and a bit of a confidant, as well. Signs Bo Hess: Small toddler, adopted by all the Mikaelsons somehow. Kol kind of played uncle in the relationship he'd formed with Bo. Robin Hood (BC) Robin: Frequent verbal adversary. They argued. A LOT. But sort of almost became frenemies by the end, somehow. It was strange, but they made it work. Marian Locksley: Robin's wife, much less likely to outright argue, but is definitely one of the people that gives Kol thoughts to chew on for a bit during high emotional times. Once Upon A Time Emma Swan: Not quite friends, not quite adversaries, still also not frenemies? It's hard to put an exact descriptor down for the relationship here. She certainly doesn't trust him, but she isn't gunning for his blood or anything. They're just... an odd acquaintanceship. Buffy The Vampire Slayer Buffy Summers: Hate. H A T E. Some version of her (there were 2 or 3 during his time in Lawrence) pretty much declared public war on all vampires in the city. It didn't go over well with any of the Mikaelsons, unsurprisingly.

Other Notes

Anti-Possession Tattoo: What is says on the tin. Wards of demonic possession (of the Supernatural universe variety of Demon). Was placed on him via magic from Loki, after he spent a spell possessed by a demon of that world. It cannot be removed by anyone but the magic user who placed it there. Pets Horse: Quetzalcoatl [Nik, unknown timeframe] Corn Snake: Asmodeus [Elijah, May 2014] Wishes 2014: Pirate ship treehouse [Built with & for Henrik] 2015: He wished his magic back, which meant giving up everything about being an Original Vampire. It was not a decision he made lightly.

slipped [3 years]

A smaller-scale spin-off from the previous game, this group PSL made for a much more chill, slice-of-life experience overall. With no war being waged, no monsters to fight, by all accounts, there was no apparent rhyme or reason for why they were pulled there. There were strange things happening from time-to-time, but for the most part, characters were more easily able to build lives here.

2014-2017

Kol was among the first group, initially all transplants from Lawrence, that showed up in this strange, cookie-cutter city in what appeared to be a modern-day California. Everyone was assigned one of the very same looking houses in the neighborhood they appeared in. Nothing much in the way of history, celebrity, or otherwise, changed much from their last world and the one they all now occupied. Among that initial group were at least two of Kol's siblings and their significant others, as well as several of his friends, including Rose Tyler and Alex Millar, among a rather large number of other friends and those he knew in passing. For the most part, they all assumed it was some odd, Seal-related side-trip of a kind. These things happened from time-to-time, it made sense with their experiences in the previous universe. However, after time stretched on further and further, beyond that two-week point they all expected it to change, into a month and so on, they all slowly came to realize and accept it wasn't a field trip; it was just a new universe, with a whole lot less direction than the last one had dropped in their laps on arrival into it. Kol spent several long months with Crowley in the house outfitted for them when they arrived trying to adjust to the idea of being human and so easily breakable again after over a millennia of being largely indestructible. It was a bit of a trying time, not without a broken bone in the process either, but he's adjusting well enough. Though missing Anna a great deal, Kol and Crowley adjusted to going from trio to duo and as a whole there was an ever-increasing almost bordering domestic thing happening between them. There were pets in the house, for Christ's sake! (Or rather, not Christ's sake, because that feels odd for a former vampire dating a demon!) Not having quite so much of a purpose around this place, Kol made a space for himself in helping the people he cares about with things that were in his realm of possiblities. He helped Henrik with his magic and Skye (aka Daisy Johnson) with her powers. All-in-all, this universe was the happy, normal life that Kol never could have dreamed of having in any other version of his life.

Notable CR

All of the previous game's listed CR. Les Mis Gavroche: A scrappy kid that Kol is rather fond and protective over. Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Skye: Kol and Skye became quick friends, and it didn't take long for him to decide to help train her powers; in the end, he had a bit of a case of guilt when he realized that her holding her powers back was creating hairline fractures across pretty much every bone in her body, but once they sorted out how to stop that and help her gain more control, it was aces. They were very close during his time in California.

Other Notes

• He is a vampire for awhile, but eventually is given his magic back via weird wibble RP magic stuff (due to Kol being at War a few more months before I ended up leaving the game-- and collectively, we in Slipped decided on a way for the things in the last bit of War to transfer to their current selves in their new universe)

• Charmed stone bead bracelet (protection wards; infused with magic, the bracelet can be used as a channel for Kol)

• Vervain stash necklace

sixthiteration [5 months]

The setting is a ghost village, with new-comers set to arrive underwater, through a fountain. Whatever powers you might have had wherever you were before (be it home or another alternate universe like this one), are all gone now. All the newbies arrive in color-coded scrubs. It's obvious someone's watching you-- they're The Observers, and the more you discover, the more this place feels like a maze, and you the rat, being watched and poked and prodded like a science experiment.

2016

Kol arrived in the fountain from California into... wherever the hell he even was now. The place was practically a ghost town, a village better left in the ruins it was obviously in. There was housing, but it was awful, most things were broken and in need of serious repair. But with some input from the village's new residents, things might start to get up and running around here. He spent two weeks assuming this was temporary. Things like this-- "field trips", he called it-- happened plenty of times in the last few years, especially in Lawrence. The truth is, he plain and simply didn't buy into this being his next stop on the multiverse ride he has yet to get off of. When those first two weeks came and went and he was still here, he didn't take it well at all. There was a bit of a breakdown and Jo was the one to find him in the midst of it. A promise of taking him down a level or two if it became necessary. A flood led to him having to move in, at least temporarily, with the huntress, Jo Harvelle. He knew of her more than directly knew her from Lawrence, and the pair of them were rather suspicious and antagonistic with each other from the outset; and Thorfinn, a Norseman who rather tried to keep the peace between the pair. Animals keep turning up dead by no one in camp and the apprehension is on the rise. No one knows what, or who, is leaving the animal carcasses about and the not knowing is putting everyone on edge. Despite it, The Observers throw a massive Thanksgiving Feast for the villagers. Nothing incredibly crazy happens, other than theorizing about recent happenings around the village and various party-flavored shenanigans. Until later in the night, that is. The deaths in the village come to a height when one of their own, Karen Page, is the target-- mutilated nearly beyond recognition. After the shock of the event, everyone gathers for a meeting, deciding on things like autopsy, investigations, a hunting party and increased regular patrol rotas around the village. Kol's last moment in the village was spending it in a Mikaelson time-honored tradition of a Christmas Bonfire. Burning wishes on paper and the whole nine.

Notable CR

Supernatural Jo Harvelle tobeclosetohim "It's complicated" is the best and most accurate description of the relationship between Kol and Jo. It's antagonistic, it's the smallest scrap of trust between two people that shouldn't find themselves in the same room together, it's knowing if one steps out of line the other will put them down-- and it'll most likely be Kol stepping out of line, and he's accepted that Jo will be the one to deal with him if that happens. It's the edges of something that could be so, so very important if they just have the time to build on it for awhile. She's also part of the triad Kol finds himself in here, with their shared roommate and his fellow Norseman, Thorfinn. Vinland Saga Thorfinn seekingvinland A quick and fast friendship borne of a familiarity that comes with someone from someplace recognizable to you. Kol taught him English over time, his use of it was rough but he was getting there, getting better all the time. He was part of the triad with Jo. Kate Kelly Kate lastofthekellys She's a bit of a leader of the village meetings. A planner, a doer. Kol had the beginning edges of a friendship growing with her.

Other Notes

• He still has the tattoo, charmed stone bead bracelet (protection wards; infused with magic, the bracelet can be used as a channel for Kol) & vervain stash necklace from earlier games. • Housing • Initial starter pack: 1 small waterproof black canvas backpack with a small flame insignia embroidered on the front with the following: 1 white cotton tank top; 1 cotton scrub-style shirt; 1 pair cotton scrub-style trousers in the same color; 1 smart device, worn on the LEFT wrist, in the same color; 1 pair white cotton briefs; 1 pair white cotton socks; 1 pair brown leather hiking boots; 1 set flannel “long johns”; 1 set denim overalls; 2 pair white cotton socks; 1 pair thick gray wool socks; 1 thigh-length black wool peacoat; 3 pair white cotton briefs; 1 additional white cotton bra, if appropriate; 1 baseball cap in the same color as the scrubs, embroidered with the flame insignia • He has been made entirely human, and has lost access to any powers he previous had. • Scrubs everyone arrived in were color-coded, there were a lot of theories about what they meant and why certain people were in certain colors, but Kol wasn't around long enough to discover the meaning of it.
