[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?

	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)

	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)

	kitty_has_claws 2012-05-31 05:20 am UTC (link)
	That's how it starts. [Kidding though that's also kind of true.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2012-05-31 05:27 am UTC (link)
	Well... I guess that's where intention comes in. [Smiling, though she does have a point. It's easy to abuse power when you have it.] Maybe I should take you to Quantico some day. If you stick around that long, of course. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2012-05-31 05:29 am UTC (link)
	I wouldn't be a security risk? {She smiles at him.] I'm pretty sure I should be. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2012-05-31 05:31 am UTC (link)
	I'll tell them you're a relative. That usually works. [It'd be hard to pass her off as his wife.] You'd have to behave, of course. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2012-05-31 05:42 am UTC (link)
	Would you really want to tell them I'm your relative? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2012-05-31 05:45 am UTC (link)
	Do you have a better suggestion? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2012-05-31 05:46 am UTC (link)
	Girlfriend? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2012-05-31 05:48 am UTC (link)
	[Pause. Not a long one, but significant enough to be worthy the name.] We'll have to work up to that one. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2012-05-31 05:49 am UTC (link)
	That's probably better than saying I'm your cousin and then someone seeing us kissing later. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2012-05-31 05:51 am UTC (link)
	...You'd kiss me at work? [See, he didn't think about that.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2012-05-31 05:57 am UTC (link)
	[She smiled.] Well, you did tell me to behave. But I was thinking outside of work. Your coworkers live in this town too, right? And they're profilers? You don't think they'd pick up on anything? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

We don't really...

[Actually... hang on, just a second. It's true that the other team members have tried to hide their relationships in the past. JJ tried for a year with Will, and it really didn't work despite him not being around all that much. Kitty would live here, most likely, which means she'd be around all the time. How did he plan to keep that a secret, and even more importantly - why?

Because that's what he does. It's what he did with his mom, for obvious reasons, and the dilaudid dependency and pretty much every single thing that's ever happened to him. He keeps it secret best he can. Separates his personal life from his professional so well that the people he's worked side by side with for years don't even know where he lives. In some ways this is good, to protect the people you care about, to create a sanctuary - but that doesn't apply to Kitty.

Most of all... all the details he's been hiding about himself up until now have been nothing but bad. She... she's the complete opposite. For once, he's got something good in his life. Something he shouldn't feel the need to hide.]

That's... that's a very good point.

	So, what kind of ground work do you need to do to pave the way for sudden girlfriend? [Also, this "girlfriend" thing... It is because that is a label they would understand. It's not because they have a label like that yet! ...Right?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2012-05-31 02:16 pm UTC (link)
	[Right! This is purely for the sake of communication!] I... don't know. I suppose I could just let someone catch me talk to you on the phone and not deny anything when they ask. That's a sure-fire way to get the news spread. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2012-05-31 02:22 pm UTC (link)
	[She laughs a little.] So where did we meet? Or does that all wait until I get a new fake identity? [This feels premature too, but she needs to be planning for something.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2012-05-31 03:17 pm UTC (link)
	[He opens his mouth to say something like "college?" because that seems like the obvious response, but they've already explored that, haven't they? So where else could a 19 year old and a 29 year old meet without drawing too much suspicion to their story?] Coffee shop..? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
