[home sweet home] returning to your world ; meme

You wake up in your bed, maybe. Somewhere. Somewhere you know.

Familiar scents fill your nose, the scents of home. You get up and look around and you come to a stunning, breath-taking (and sickening?) realization. You're home again. Somehow, just now, you were whisked away from that strange place you were, for however long you lived there, with how many people you came to know, and plunked down in your home, your own world. The bubble popped and now you're left wondering... was that even real? Could it have been?

What do you do now?

The phone's ringing. Maybe you should answer that.

How To Play

- Comment to the thread with your character. It will be their "world" they've returned to.
- Other people comment to them, reconnecting or awakening next to them in that home world.
- The where, when, setting & that sort of thing are up to you!
- Freak out, panic, try to figure what to do next.

Bonus:

- Work in a time difference, Lake House style!
- Is something off about this home world? Is it even really yours?

	[He shoots her a smile over his shoulder. Yes. Good plan. ] C'mon. I might have something you could borrow... at least for now. [To the bedroom we go.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Is it a sweatervest? I hear I look hot in those. [Following.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I'm sure you do.

[And maybe he does have one. Actually, upon opening his closet and looking at the options, he decides to just step aside and let her have her pick. There isn't a huge variation anyway - dress shirts, pants, cardigans, the aforementioned sweatervest, a few short-sleeved button-ups and the odd blazer or three. Socks. Underwear, though he doesn't expect her to really go for that. Hopes she won't, truth be told.]

Probably better if you just pick out something yourself.

	[She pulls out one of the short sleeved button ups, leaving the top three undone and her tank top visible underneath. She taps a pair of pants thoughtfully before pulling it out.] I guess I can try these. [And with thought to privacy, she pulls her shorts down—underwear still in place.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Privacy should be less of an issue by now, but apparently being in such a familiar place - where women do not usually tread - means he's reverting to his old, more shy habits. Temporarily, perhaps, but still enough for him to turn his back to her while she's getting dressed. ]

We can pick up something better in the morning. [Implied - if this lasts that long. He's still worried she'll just up and vanish at any given moment.]

	That sounds... [She just noticed he is turned away.] Really? [Amused.] You know you were looking at all this and feeling it not long ago. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2012-05-28 10:21 pm UTC (link)
	That was not in my bedroom. [Wait.] Not... this bedroom. You know what I mean. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Is it more scandalous here? Do you have recording equipment or something? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2012-05-28 10:24 pm UTC (link)
	What? No! [Gosh, Kitty.] I just... don't really have people over here. It's strange. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2012-05-28 10:26 pm UTC (link)
	[She's all dressed, minus shoes and she steps over to him, tugging him closer.] Well, you do now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2012-05-28 10:36 pm UTC (link)
	I do, don't I. [Letting himself be tugged. He's still kind of reeling from this whole... time crunch thing. Remembering what he was like when he left while still feeling like the person he was ten minutes ago. ] I can't believe you're here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2012-05-28 10:55 pm UTC (link)
	You and me both. [She leans in for a soft kiss.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2012-05-29 03:54 pm UTC (link)
	[The kiss is met with relative ease, even though he can't quite work out the stiffness in his movements and he pulls back just a little too early. Sorry Kitty, give him a minute and he'll ease into it a bit more.] Ready to go..? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2012-05-29 04:34 pm UTC (link)
	[She's pretty fond of him. If he needs some time he can have it.] All ready. Not sure we'll do if we find anyone, but first things first, right? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2012-05-29 05:35 pm UTC (link)
	[He nods. Truth be told it's just going to be nice to get outside and move around. Work that strange, sickening feeling out of his system.] Better than sitting around here, that's for sure... and if we don't find anyone, at least I get to show you DC at night. [Bit of a smile. What can they do?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2012-05-29 05:37 pm UTC (link)
	I was in my world's DC before. ... I think yours will be nicer. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2012-05-29 06:26 pm UTC (link)
	[That smile falters. Not that there was much of it to begin with, but they don't have time for this and so he reaches for her hand.] Come on. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2012-05-29 06:36 pm UTC (link)
	[She follows along after him, careful to stay solid. No need to out herself.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	DC things! thisiscalm 2012-05-30 12:08 am UTC (link)
	[They didn't come back to his apartment for several hours. By then the sun was coming up, slowly bringing life to the streets again and opening up the possibilities for breakfast. They picked something up on the way before returning back to base to regroup. No luck so far.] I'm not sure if this is a good thing or not. [Tired.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2012-05-30 12:12 am UTC (link)
	What are you thinking? [Because there could be a couple of reasons for it to be bad.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2012-05-30 12:44 am UTC (link)
	Well... it's too early to say what's really going on here. Maybe we didn't see anyone because no one else is here. Maybe they're just not here or if they are, we missed them. Maybe... [Not a fan of maybe's.] I'll ask Garcia to run some names later. Just in case. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2012-05-30 12:53 am UTC (link)
	It could be a lot of things, but it's out of our hands right now. Mm... You could check and see if anyone was admitted to local jails, hospitals, or shelters. Maybe something will match up. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2012-05-30 01:40 am UTC (link)
	That's what I was thinking. Do a wide search, see if anything comes up. Are you tired? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2012-05-30 01:51 am UTC (link)
	Yes, but I'm more hungry than tired. Eat and then crawl into bed? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2012-05-30 02:09 am UTC (link)
	Good plan. [He smiles before moving into the kitchen and setting up the breakfast they got. Nothing special, just bagels and creme cheese, and still it feels almost painfully familiar. How many times did they eat together in Marina?] Do you want anything to drink? I have some green tea, and... [Something. What did he keep in his fridge three weeks ago?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
