Who: Elena Gilbert + you!
Broadcast: Video
Action: Starstruck if you want
When: now!!!

I was told that these augments [she gestures to her own and feels a little stupid for doing so because everybody knows what she's talking about (hopefully)] can alter memories. Does anybody have any more specific information on that?

Like how far back in your memory can it reach? How much can it change? How long does it last?

[...You know. Asking for a friend.]

All I can say is how I would feel in that situation.. And I know that if you were willing to make that effort, it would mean the world to me.

[forgetyourusedtobe]

[Elena smiles a little.]

I'd at least like to get to know her some.

[blindoptimism]

If there was a friendship before, I'm sure there will be again. Important relationships are like that, aren't they?

[forgetyourusedtobe]

Yeah, they are. [There's a small beat of silence before.] I'm not sure if I'm the same person that she remembers though. I can't promise that things will be the same, but...

I just hope the differences don't make her uncomfortable or have it be too painful to be around me.

[Elena knows that experience firsthand.]

[blindoptimism]

[she hums thoughtfully as she contemplates the idea]

But it some ways the differences may make it less painful. If you were the same it may be easy to build up false expectations...?

[mid sentence she pauses and looks a touch embarrassed] I'm so sorry, I'm speaking so freely for someone I've never met.

[Elena shakes her head.]

I think considering I'm talking about them with everyone else, it's probably okay.

[blindoptimism]

Mm. [but she still can't help but worry a bit. Despite that, she continues on with her earlier train of thought]

Well... Then I'll just have to stand by what I've said. You seem very kind and thoughtful, I think your instinct will be invaluable in forging a new relationship.

[Elena hardly knows what to say. Her jaw works for a few seconds, aborted attempts at trying to find those words before she smiles bashfully, glancing down.]

Thank you. I hope you're right.
