[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?

	You a gambling man? [Aw, this is a cute thought.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You could say that. [Small laugh.] I grew up there. Mostly I go to visit my mom, but it doesn't hurt to hit up the poker machines. I, uhm. I'm kind of banned from the casinoes. Las Vegas, Laughlin and Parump. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	For cheating, or just being that good? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2012-06-02 06:44 am UTC (link)
	Well... technically counting cards isn't classified as cheating. It's generally frowned upon, though. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	needmymp3 2012-06-05 05:09 am UTC (link)
	Damn. Remind me not to play against you. Did you make bank, though, or was it just something you did for fun? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2012-06-05 09:25 pm UTC (link)
	Hey, friendly games are different! [Then he just cheats.] Bit of both. I still play the poker machines whenever I'm in town, they're an easy way to make some extra money. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Next time you head down, give me a head's up. I'll come with. [You little money making machine.] I'm terrible at gambling. Not bad at cards on their own, but I never win. [She's bad at "Going big or going home" sorts of deals. Double or nothing, her vice.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2012-06-06 03:13 pm UTC (link)
	Sure, I'd like that. [Which says so much about the nature of Marina - he's usually not too fond of company whenever he heads back home.] Are you, uhm... planning to stick around for a while..? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	needmymp3 2012-06-06 05:20 pm UTC (link)
	Dunno, back seat of my car's not so comfy. [Would you lend her your couch, Reeeeid?] But I would like to get more acquainted with DC. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2012-06-07 01:42 am UTC (link)
	If you're staying for a couple of days, I know a decent motel. [Contemplating... what the hell. Prison buddies.] Or you could stay with me, I guess. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	needmymp3 2012-06-07 03:40 am UTC (link)
	I can pay my stay in good breakfasts and all the tech help you could ever need. [She appreciates it, really.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2012-06-07 01:30 pm UTC (link)
	Breakfast will be fine. [Is he joking? Maybe.] I still need to go to work, but I have a feeling you can be trusted with a spare key. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	needmymp3 2012-06-10 03:48 am UTC (link)
	Place your order before bed and I'll have it on the table when you get up. [Offering a smile, particularly grateful-- she really appreciates the gesture.] I'll print out some of those little door hangs, make it all official (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2012-06-10 04:25 am UTC (link)
	[That makes him laugh!] Please don't, I stay at enough motels as it is! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	needmymp3 2012-06-10 04:31 am UTC (link)
	Fine, fine. [She's so going to leave a mint on your pillow sometime, just because.] But I do promise kick ass breakfasts, at the very least. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2012-06-10 12:46 pm UTC (link)
	That sounds pretty good, actually. I usually don't have much of a reason to eat at home. What do you usually make? I think we only ever talked about why anyone would eat paté. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	needmymp3 2012-06-11 01:50 pm UTC (link)
	I can make a lot of stuff. But I only eat vegetarian. [She gives him a teasing side eye.] Though, you're cute enough that I'd actually make some bacon if it's what you like. Wouldn't be the first time. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2012-06-11 04:15 pm UTC (link)
	[Very nearly forgot how easily she could make him fluster, but there it is. Hnrgh.] Vegetarian's fine. Whatever you'd normally eat. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	needmymp3 2012-06-11 05:13 pm UTC (link)
	Twinkies and Red Bull it is. [More teasing. You are the cutest.] I eat eggs, so trust me when I say that my omelets are amazing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2012-06-11 10:37 pm UTC (link)
	[Stop it.] I might just take you up on that. [And then there's a restaurant? Conveniently?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	needmymp3 2012-06-12 05:03 pm UTC (link)
	[The most convenient of restaurants. She makes a point of holding the door open for him.] Is it creepy to say I kinda got here a few days ago? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2012-06-12 05:06 pm UTC (link)
	[Such a... gentlelady! Or something. It's appreciated, either way.] A few days ago..? [What.] Why, uhm. Why did you wait until now..? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	needmymp3 2012-06-12 05:16 pm UTC (link)
	[Least she can do when you're footing... her bills.] Weeell... Nerves. Still a bit paranoid about being followed... not so sure you'd like me dropping in on you in real life. I didn't stalk you with binoculars or anything. [She did hang around one of the empty apartments across the street, though.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2012-06-12 10:31 pm UTC (link)
	But you were... staking out my place..? [Amused, more than anything. It's kind of cute.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	needmymp3 2012-06-13 12:18 am UTC (link)
	... Maybe. [Small smile.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
