Who: Elena Gilbert & YOU
What: Elena continues to have the worst timing in the history of ever. Before she starts to feel any effects of the castle herself though.
When: Feb. 28th
Where: All over the place.
Rating: We'll safely say PG13

The first thing Elena does is take in a deep breath and tell herself that it's okay. The Admiral was supposed to take her home, but clearly they've hit a port or something before he could do it. It's not the first time he's had horrible steering or she's found herself in an unfamiliar place with no one nearby that she recognizes. She just needs to call Abigail or Dean. Or Arkin. Maybe Mal. Someone. Then she can try to meet up with them and figure out how to get back to the Barge from there. It's not the most flourished of plans, but it's a decent start.

Elena pats herself down looking for her communicator to make that call and comes up empty-handed. It's not in any of her pockets and looking around, she doesn't see it lying anywhere. Did she fall off and lose it in the process? Or did the Admiral just drop her off somewhere that wasn't home. Elena's mind starts to race with the possibilities, but she forces herself to remain calm. Wandering through the hallways, she tries to think things through. If this was a flood or breach, that meant she was still on the Barge. If this was a port, then they crashed or she fell. But if she had fallen, why didn't she integrate with the world like the others have in the past? Did she just need to wait this out and find herself back to normal on the Barge?

Elena sighs. She's getting ahead of herself. Right now, she just needs to focus on finding a familiar face. Worry about how to get back to the Barge - or back home - later.
