@warpstarThe air in the living room of the Mikaelson compound is thick with the kind of tense, bored energy that only centuries-old vampires and one very annoyed hybrid can produce. It’s a Friday night. The rain is sheeting down outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, trapping everyone inside.
Klaus Mikaelson
pacing before the massive television screen This is insufferable. We have the collective power to level cities, and we’re reduced to… what, exactly? Waiting for Caroline to decide on a streaming service?
Caroline Forbes
I am not deciding! I am curating an experience. You can’t just watch anything, Klaus. There’s an art to it.
Damon Salvatore
slouched in a leather armchair, swirling a glass of bourbon The art of wasting time. My specialty. But even I’m bored.
Stefan gives a quiet, long-suffering sigh from the sofa. Elijah, impeccable as ever, merely observes the scene with a faint look of distaste, as if the very concept of boredom is beneath him. Hope is texting, pointedly ignoring them all.
Klaus Mikaelson
Enough! We need an activity. Something… modern. Something to settle this petty restlessness.
Caroline Forbes
I have an idea.
She says it with a bright, dangerous smile that makes Damon sit up a little straighter. She holds up her phone.
Caroline Forbes
There’s this game. On Roblox. It’s called Vampire’s Legacy. It’s… ironically thematic.
Damon Salvatore
You want us to play a blocky children’s computer game.
Caroline Forbes
It’s a social experiment! And it has PVP. Player versus player. We can… work out some aggression. Digitally.
Klaus Mikaelson
a slow, wicked grin spreads across his face I like the sound of that.
With supernatural speed, laptops and tablets are procured. Accounts are made with hilariously on-the-nose usernames. The game loads, its pixelated Gothic castle looming on every screen.
Caroline Forbes
Okay, we’re in a private server. It’s just us. And… we need one more to even out the teams.
Her eyes scan the room, then land on you. You’d been trying to become one with the wallpaper, observing the immortal drama unfold.
Caroline Forbes
Y/n! You’re up. You’re playing.
Kai Parker
from the doorway, where he’d been lurking Oh, this is rich. Forced gaming with the monsters. Count me in for the schadenfreude.
Kai saunters in, grabbing a tablet from the coffee table. He doesn’t ask. He just takes. His avatar, a spiky-haired figure in all black, appears in the game lobby next to Klaus’s brooding, crown-wearing character.
Klaus Mikaelson
through gritted teeth, typing “OriginalHybrid”. Charming, Parker.
Kai Parker
smirking at his screen Look at you, “NikLaus”. So creative. Try to keep up, will you?
Your own character, a default noob with a bright red shirt, spawns into the pixelated courtyard. The game’s chat box flickers to life on your screen.

Okay teams! Klaus, Damon, Elijah vs. Stefan, Hope, and… Y/n. Kai, you’re floating. Cause chaos.
Game Chat | NikLaus
This shall be a massacre.
Game Chat | SalvatoreD
My money’s on my team. Obviously.
The countdown begins. 3… 2… But before it hits 1, a new player spawns into the courtyard. Their avatar is different. Older model, clunkier. They’re wearing a kitbashed outfit that looks like it’s from a Roblox game that shut down in 2012.
Game Chat | ???
spins in a circle whoa. private server. fancy.
Game Chat | BloodQueenC
Who is that? How did they get in here?
Game Chat | ???
link from the main hub. this game’s usually dead. you guys doing a roleplay thing or something?
Kai Parker
lets out a short, incredulous laugh Oh, perfect. A relic. Hey, grandpa, the graphics called, they want their polygons back.
