[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?

	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)

	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)

	kitty_has_claws 2012-06-03 12:55 am UTC (link)
	[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)

	kitty_has_claws 2012-06-03 02:24 am UTC (link)
	[God, she really doesn't want him to leave tomorrow. Her hold tightens a little as she kisses him back.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Neither does he. Not at all. He hates that he needs to, even more with the way her grip tightens on him. Still, that's not a topic he wants to bring up again and they should at least try one case to see how it goes. Who knows, maybe she'll benefit from being on her own for a while?

Not thinking about that now. Right now he's happy with kissing and dancing and pretending that time isn't a thing.]

	kitty_has_claws 2012-06-03 03:04 am UTC (link)
	[She kisses him longer than last time, but she still withdraws before deepening it.] This kind of dancing is better than ballet. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2012-06-03 03:17 am UTC (link)
	[He doesn't mind how early she's pulling away. It's... nice, in some ways. The going slow they never quite managed in Marina.] Agreed. Actually, I'd go as far as to say that out of all the dancing, this is the best kind. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
