[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?

	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)

	I think I could be happily fame-free. But we can go to Las Vegas if you want. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	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)

	kitty_has_claws 2012-05-31 01:54 am UTC (link)
	[She laughs and shakes her head.] What are we even talking about? [It sounds like the weirdest normal life ever.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2012-05-31 02:06 am UTC (link)
	Possibilities, I guess. [Chuckles. Getting ahead of themselves much? Still... it felt pretty good to entertain the idea.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2012-05-31 02:28 am UTC (link)
	Some lucky school could have their first secretly mutant student, hmm? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2012-05-31 02:29 am UTC (link)
	See, that alone could open some doors. It's important to set yourself apart from the other applicants. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2012-05-31 02:31 am UTC (link)
	mmhmm, and get dissected by scientists. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2012-05-31 02:39 am UTC (link)
	Maybe not, then. Good thing you don't really need doors. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2012-05-31 03:38 am UTC (link)
	Haven't needed doors for a long time. [Little smirk.] Hey... When you have Garcia look things up, do you think you could run a check on a couple of other names? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2012-05-31 03:49 am UTC (link)
	Sure, I could do that. Just give me a list and I'll make up some excuse, if necessary. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2012-05-31 03:52 am UTC (link)
	Thanks. I'll make it in order of importance so you can cut off any if it's too much. [The list is going to say Charles Xavier and Erik Lensherr. She's also going to add her parents. She'd like to put Piotr on it, but...that might be too strange. And maybe Kitty Pryde? Too suspicious?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2012-05-31 05:04 am UTC (link)
	[He nods. It all depends on whether or not Garcia remembers being in Marina, but even if she doesn't he could probably get away with a decently sized list without any real questions. ] So much easier when you have access to government resources. [Lightly. It's not a huge deal.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2012-05-31 05:06 am UTC (link)
	You won't get into trouble? [She does worry about his reputation here.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2012-05-31 05:07 am UTC (link)
	No more than usual. [Probably.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2012-05-31 05:10 am UTC (link)
	Living on the edge all the time, hmm? I had no idea you were such a bad boy. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2012-05-31 05:13 am UTC (link)
	So we bend a few rules. That doesn't make us bad, does it? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
