[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?

[Normal.

That was the best way to describe it, really, and for someone who constantly claimed that he didn't know what normal was like, Reid kind of enjoyed it. A lot. Just going out with her, keeping her company while she picked out clothes, paying for it like it was the most natural thing in the world... and then filling the perpetually empty fridge, taking turns in the shower, getting dressed, going out - actually going out, on a proper date. Dinner and a movie, and unlike the times they'd done it in Marina this felt so much more... real. Less of a pleasant excuse to waste time and more like they spent what little time they had on things they really wanted to do.

It felt like they were going back to what they were in prison, only more so. Maybe things weren't great yet, but after tonight it at least felt like they'd have a chance to be.

So when Reid unlocked the front door late that night, he felt good. Confident that he could leave in the morning and it would still be fine - he still didn't want to, but it would be fine. Phones existed, he'd be back at some point and until then... well. They'd manage. They had options. It wasn't all pitch-black and that was enough for him to turn to Kitty with a lopsided smile before pushing the door open for her.]

Welcome home.

We live together. [Maybe that hadn't really hit her in the time she'd been there despite the fact that they had spent nearly every moment in his apartment. It didn't really feel like a temporary arrangement. She smiles a little—something that had gone from very common to extremely rare since their relocation. But it also wasn't the first one that night. There was one when she leaned her head against his shoulder to watch the movie and even before that when he bought her junior mints before they walked in. She even shared.

She steps inside and looks around the very place she'd been living for a week and looks at it as if seeing it for the first time.] Do you have any music? [She really hadn't investigated her surroundings much.]

	Yeah, we live together. [Softly, a remnant from handling his mom. And maybe it's nice to say, despite the rapid progression. It leaves him with a gleeful tingle.] Music..? I, uhm... I got some classical? Or you could fiddle with the radio settings, if you want. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2012-06-02 10:43 pm UTC (link)
	I think I'll fiddle. [She moves over to the radio, turning it on and then adjusting the knob, looking for something more fun than Mozart. The station she picks plays oldies—things she recognizes.] I know this song. [She says it with some small measure of wonder.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2012-06-02 10:58 pm UTC (link)
	You do..? [Dimensional overlap. Maybe. Their worlds had plenty of things in common after all.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2012-06-02 11:09 pm UTC (link)
	Mmm, I recognize lots of things here. Older things. You recited Chaucer to me. We had Chaucer too. It's a lot like how things were when I was a little kid I think. We had an FBI too once upon a time. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2012-06-03 12:33 am UTC (link)
	Huh. So maybe it was the same... at least up until a certain point. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2012-06-03 12:40 am UTC (link)
	There were mutants for a long time. They usually hid, so weren't always known, but... [But then why is she different here? It can't really be the same.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2012-06-03 12:43 am UTC (link)
	[He nods.] Maybe not the same then, but... close. [And then he thinks to ask a question he can't believe he hasn't asked before.] What year was it? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[She gives him a knowing look. After all, she's been reading the papers. She knows the date here.] 1996. So, kind of from the past too. Kind of makes me older, right? [No, not so much.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2012-06-03 12:59 am UTC (link)
	1996? [This should come as less of a surprise. Alas.] I was 15 in -96. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2012-06-03 01:03 am UTC (link)
	Yeah, I would never date a 15-year-old. [Smiling a little.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2012-06-03 01:05 am UTC (link)
	Too big of an age gap? [Yes, good. Smiling is good.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2012-06-03 01:11 am UTC (link)
	It's a pretty big gap. [Smallest one ever.] And you're a minor in it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2012-06-03 01:14 am UTC (link)
	Good thing we don't have to find out. [Hmn] I don't think you would've wanted to hang out with me at 15 anyway. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2012-06-03 01:21 am UTC (link)
	[She finds a ballad on the radio and walks over to him, taking position to dance. Surprise. This was the point of music.] And why wouldn't I want to hang out with 15 year-old Reid? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2012-06-03 01:25 am UTC (link)
	[It's a good surprise. Actually, not even much of a surprise. This is a thing they do, and even though he's far from confident he's at least comfortable enough to just fall into it. ] Do I really need to explain that? [Laughing just a bit.] I'm still surprised you want to hang out with me now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2012-06-03 01:30 am UTC (link)
	You're really surprised? [This surprises her a little. It's not completely left field, but she's not sure how serious he is.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2012-06-03 01:34 am UTC (link)
	A little. It's... pretty surreal. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2012-06-03 01:37 am UTC (link)
	You're cute and sweet and brave and telling you that you're smart is an understatement, but you're smart. I'm not seeing this tremendous downside. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2012-06-03 01:44 am UTC (link)
	[Just smiles. God, she's good at making him feel good about himself. It's dangerous.] Thank you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2012-06-03 01:46 am UTC (link)
	Kiss me. [It's the best kind of thanks. It doesn't mean you can stop dancing though.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2012-06-03 02:15 am UTC (link)
	[Okay. Yes. He can multitask. There may be a slight slowing-down thing happening while he leans down to catch her lips, but once he's sure he won't miss dancing will resume as previously.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
