[ jackie snorts a little in laughter at the question, even though it's not that weird of one. ]
She's our equipment manager. Or was, I guess. She's from further in the future than us.
[ she almost says 'after they get rescued', but she doesn't feel like it's necessarily safe to say that. she likes caroline, but doesn't know her enough to trust her with the knowledge she's dead yet. ]
Yeah, it— it helps that he looks the same. But he has a daughter?
[ she has multiple daughters??? she refuses to think about that though. sorry girls mama doesn't have time for an existential crisis, she'll figure that out in 2-3 weeks. ]
I haven't seen him in years and now we're here and he has a kid. And he is still so hot, in like an evil kind of rodenty way. Which sounds bad but if you saw him you'd get it.
[ is jackie talking about the lost boys? god, she's from so long ago. still, caroline nods because sure that makes sense. despite how dated it is. ]
His name is Klaus. All my friends back home hate him. So I thought it would be easier here because they're not around to judge me for being a huge slut, but I think I'm fucking it up anyway.
[ she is, in fact, talking about the lost boys. her only real frame of reference of kiefer sutherland is still that and flatliners and she's pretty sure he plays a dirtbag in both. ]
Okay, first off, everyone here is kind of roped into being a slut, so screw that if that's what you mean. [ she doesn't know why klaus is hated back where she's from, but caroline is one of the most level-headed people she's ever met; her judgment's bound to be good. ] Why do you think you're fucking things up?
[ to anyone but jackie, it seems. she doesn't want to admit to klaus that she likes him, nor to stefan, despite whatever weird thing they have going on too. she's dancing around it instead of facing it and it's so unfair to klaus.
the worst part is she knows he wouldn't begrudge her uncertainty if she just told him. ]
[ jackie gets the feeling that this is more complicated than caroline's capable of (or comfortable with) explaining during a simple walk, since she's not volunteering why she doesn't want to admit that she still likes him. she's quiet for a moment as they keep walking, her hands around the sort-of hot chocolate as the considers. ]
Yeah, I get it. [ and she does, thinking back to travis back in the wilderness. that hadn't been fair to him, either. ] Well, I don't think people liking each other is really people's priorities right now. You have some time to figure things out, if you want to.

[ that's so far in the future. it must be so disorienting for misty, all her high school friends are still in high school. wow.
maybe that's what bonnie will feel like when she's misty's age. ]
My ex is from like 15 years in the future?
[ solidarity? ]

[ maybe weirder for jackie, since she's been dead since the first winter and has only ever known her as a teenager. ]
Whoa, really? [ there's a low whistle that escapes her. ] Now that's got to be weird.

It's easier to pretend it's just sex, you know?
