[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?

	That's probably better than saying I'm your cousin and then someone seeing us kissing later. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	...You'd kiss me at work? [See, he didn't think about that.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[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)

	kitty_has_claws 2012-05-31 06:30 pm UTC (link)
	A coffee shop sounds good. Maybe you had your laptop out and I struck up a conversation about something on the screen. Of course you fell for me almost instantly. [Teasing smile.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2012-05-31 06:54 pm UTC (link)
	Of course. [Well....] Change the laptop to a text book and we're good. Garcia is always complaining about how techonologically resistant I am. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2012-05-31 06:59 pm UTC (link)
	[She laughs.] I can do that. Physics maybe? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2012-05-31 07:35 pm UTC (link)
	Physics work. [He smiles. Did they just make up a way for him to introduce Kitty to his family? Crazy times.] Or maybe we should just say we met at the library. That's practically the truth. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2012-05-31 08:33 pm UTC (link)
	We could say that. And then I invited you to buy me a cup of coffee afterwards. I'm generous like that. You never really stood a chance. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2012-05-31 08:35 pm UTC (link)
	I didn't, did I? [Amused.] Maybe leave out the parts with the robots and the mutilating trees. Other than that... we're set. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2012-05-31 08:40 pm UTC (link)
	[She laughs.] Most of those trees are juuust fine. Also, we have to fix your place. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2012-05-31 08:42 pm UTC (link)
	"Most" of them. [Oh hey, have A Look.] Fix my place..? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2012-05-31 08:47 pm UTC (link)
	[Just smiling. Trustworthy, right?] There's a serious lack of computer that needs to be remedied. And frozen pizza. Even the thin kind. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2012-05-31 08:52 pm UTC (link)
	[He frowns, as if seriously thinking this over. In reality, these are changes that he doesn't mind much. Sure, it'll take some time to get used to having someone else around every day, but they've already had some practice with that and this will pretty much be her place as well if she ends up staying.] I'm sure we can come to some sort of agreement. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2012-05-31 08:58 pm UTC (link)
	My demands are simple and few. I can make them again while kissing your neck if it helps. [The thought that this is "living together" hasn't really settled in yet.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2012-05-31 09:06 pm UTC (link)
	[It's out of necessity! Just like the fact that he'll probably need to support her for a little while. Give her an allowance, maybe.] Pretty sure that counts as cheating, but I'll allow it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2012-05-31 09:17 pm UTC (link)
	[An allowance! How sexy and definitely not weird and awkward.] You are all heart. [Getting closer to kiss that neck of his.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2012-05-31 09:24 pm UTC (link)
	[Hey, it's that or her asking him for cigarette money. Which is better?] So nice of you to notice. [Hello.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2012-05-31 09:39 pm UTC (link)
	[She straightens back up, smiling his way.] Anything for you. So, what's next? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2012-05-31 09:54 pm UTC (link)
	I still have to call work. After that... sleep? Start fresh in a couple of hours, when we've gotten some rest? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2012-05-31 10:01 pm UTC (link)
	Sleep sounds good. Make your call. I'll need some clothes when we get up. [She's not even fully registering that she's asking him to buy her clothes. Marina was free and so was her world in the sense that you could have what you could take. It might take a moment for it to click again.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
