[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?

	Yeah, that's not worrying at all. [Only he can't stop smiling. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You know better than to not be worried around me. [The smiling is a good sign. It requires kissing though. Stand back, she's got this! Actually, standing back would be counterproductive.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2012-05-30 07:04 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, but this is a whole new kind of worry. I actually have a reputation here. [If smiling was all it took to get kissed... well, maybe that explains why he didn't have so much luck in that department until he met her. Whodathunkit? Also, no standing back here! Come at me, bro!] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Now you can have an all new, exciting reputation. We can go get you new clothes. Leather pants. Chainmail shirts? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2012-05-30 07:25 pm UTC (link)
	[What.] Pretty sure that's not the kind of reputation I'd want. Ever. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Hey, it made her laugh. Isn't that important?] That's sad. It was kind of what I was hoping for. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2012-05-30 07:32 pm UTC (link)
	I think it'd give the wrong impression at the office. [Yes, okay. That does make it worth it.] We had an UnSub like that once, actually. Well... we've had several. The leather pants and chainmail shirt look is pretty popular among serial killers, it seems. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2012-05-30 07:33 pm UTC (link)
	How popular are sweatervests among serial killers? I want numbers. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[This is him actually taking a moment to flip through the cases he's been involved in, and the clothing style of the offenders. Or rather, this is him pretending to do that because honestly, even Reid has his limits. ] Sorry, the percentage lands within the margin of error. It's pretty much negligible.

	Which makes it smart. No one would ever suspect you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[He shoots her a smile, but it doesn't quite go all the way. It's something that's crossed his mind more than once, not so much because he believes he has any kind of tendencies at all but rather because he knows how easy it is to fall. They see it all the time.

Still, he makes an effort to go with the joke. It's just harmless fun!]

Together, we'd make the perfect partners in crime. The Leopold and Loeb of our time.

	Leopold and Loeb? [It's been months since she's killed anyone—unless you count raptors who weren't really there—and it feels good. Really good. She'd like to continue that honestly.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[He's been credited with three during his entire career and would prefer for it to stay that way. No murder sprees, thank you.]

They were a famous murder duo in Chicago during the 1920's - both extremely intelligent and well-educated. They saw themselves as Nietzschean supermen and believed that they were capable of committing the perfect crime, which eventually led them to abducting and killing a neighbor of theirs.

Even though they were caught and only committed that one murder, their names are still fairly well known even now, almost 90 years later.

	[She'd prefer that to. Killing is hard on the soul and conscious.] It doesn't sound very perfect if they got caught. There are other ways to get famous. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2012-05-30 09:50 pm UTC (link)
	It was pretty far from perfect, yeah. [Smile.] We could go to Las Vegas, I guess. If you're set on fame. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2012-05-30 09:52 pm UTC (link)
	I think I could be happily fame-free. But we can go to Las Vegas if you want. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2012-05-30 10:06 pm UTC (link)
	Maybe. Some day. [Not entirely keen on the idea yet. Who knows, they might not even still be here by lunchtime.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2012-05-30 10:43 pm UTC (link)
	[She nods.] I wonder if we'll have a someday here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2012-05-30 10:55 pm UTC (link)
	Who knows... [There's a beat. Well... it's not impossible.] Would you want to? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2012-05-30 11:03 pm UTC (link)
	[She parts her lips to reply and then closes them again thoughtfully.] If this had been a choice I don't know what kind of choice I would have made. Being here though... I think I'll adapt. There are good things and bad things. I don't think it's really sunk in yet. [She looks at him, not sure how he'll take that answer.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[As far as answers go that's not a bad one, especially not so early on. He's not sure what he'd rather want, that she was forced to stay here permanently or that they found a way back to Marina - mostly because if they did he wouldn't know if he could go with her.

His family is here. His mom, the team... his life. And still...]

Fair enough. [He nods. Good answer.] I think you'll be okay, if it comes to that.

	I did always want to go to college. [That sounds so surreal as she says it.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2012-05-31 01:01 am UTC (link)
	I'm sure I could get you into a few places, if you'd want. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2012-05-31 01:08 am UTC (link)
	[She raises an eyebrow at that.] I would ask you what makes you think I'd need help, but I guess there is that whole just appearing in a world where I have no records or identity thing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2012-05-31 01:38 am UTC (link)
	My point exactly. [Smile.] I don't doubt that you could get in on your own, but it can't hurt to smooth out the application process. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
