[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?

	I know you can't tell the truth, but will you make it close or say it was about your Mom? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	They know my mom, I can't use her as an excuse. [Pause.] ...Maybe I should just tell them the truth. Or... as much as I can. They're going to find out sooner or later anyway. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[She nods in agreement and then frowns.] So, what would that sound like? [Because there are so many holes that are filled with crazy-sounding truth.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[He's quiet for a moment, brows furrowed in thought and then he steps in to re-initiate that slow dance. That was what she wanted, right? And they can dance and talk at the same time. Moving helps with the thinking too.]

We met about a month ago. At the library, over... quantum physics. You were involved with someone then, but we still met up once in a while. Had coffee. Nothing weird. [He pauses. There's more, but... is it good so far?]

	[The frown relaxes as they start dancing again, and his story makes her smile again.] Nothing weird at all? That's too bad. Then what happened? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2012-06-03 04:40 pm UTC (link)
	Then... a week ago, this guy you were with crossed the line and you burned your bridges. You needed a place to stay and you called me. [Keeping that part vague, he has no intention of thinking too hard about Tyki. It's close enough, right?] I'll work on the urgency, but... do you think that's okay? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	This girl sounds like trouble, Reid. How do you know she's not just using you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2012-06-03 04:57 pm UTC (link)
	I just know. [Not going to be enough, but what the hell.] And if she is... I don't mind. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2012-06-03 04:59 pm UTC (link)
	[That gets him a surprised look.] ...You must really like her. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2012-06-03 05:02 pm UTC (link)
	I do, I like her a lot. She's been very good to me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2012-06-03 05:07 pm UTC (link)
	You're worth being good to. [Why aren't they kissing?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2012-06-03 05:12 pm UTC (link)
	[Because there were words in the way. Words he's currently running out of, so that solves that problem. He leans in to kiss her.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2012-06-03 05:18 pm UTC (link)
	[She kisses back and this time she parts her lips against his.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2012-06-03 05:30 pm UTC (link)
	[There's a tingle of relief running down his spine. Not because of any sexually driven desire, but simply because every time she does this they're one step closer to being back to how things were. Gently he pushes back into the kiss, just a little.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2012-06-03 05:36 pm UTC (link)
	[Her hand comes up to play in his hair, also keeping him close. Her heart starts drumming a little faster.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2012-06-03 05:46 pm UTC (link)
	[Encouraged, he deepens the kiss a little further. Up until now he's had her in a pretty standard slow-dance hold, but now he lets his hands wander just a little, caressing her back through the shirt.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2012-06-03 05:50 pm UTC (link)
	[She hasn't done this with him in a week and yet when he starts touching her it feels like no time has been lost. So when he deepens the kiss she accepts it easily and presses closer.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2012-06-03 05:58 pm UTC (link)
	[He missed this. He missed her and with each familiar movement of their lips together it feels like he's getting another piece of her back. After another moment he tentatively pushes his tongue forward, to see if he can reclaim another piece.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2012-06-03 06:03 pm UTC (link)
	[Her tongue moves to brush against his readily. She...missed herself. But now that she's kissing him she can tell how much she needed this. Needed him.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2012-06-03 06:32 pm UTC (link)
	[It's a shame that they only got to this point the night before he's supposed to leave, but that's usually the way things go. Maybe it's for the best, because this way they'll make the most of it. He kisses her easily, eagerly, slowly letting his hands sink to her hips, fingers creeping up under the hem of her shirt.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2012-06-03 06:38 pm UTC (link)
	[Her reaction is as surprising to her as it is immediate. At the first touch of skin she pulls out of the kiss with a gasp and her hand falls down to clasp his wrist, holding it still. She isn't sure why she did it. She doesn't know what to say. She just stands there, holding on as her chest rises and falls with heavier breaths.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2012-06-03 06:43 pm UTC (link)
	[The reaction completely blindsides him and if her grip wasn't so strong and so immediate he would've pulled away. Instead he remains as frozen as she is, heart racing for all the wrong reasons.] Sorry. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2012-06-03 06:47 pm UTC (link)
	[She shakes her head, and then then slowly leans her head down against his shoulder, letting his hand go, but sliding her fingers up his arm softly.] No. You didn't do anything wrong. [She closes her eyes.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2012-06-03 06:52 pm UTC (link)
	[The weight of her head against his shoulder makes him relax with a soft sigh, arms moving up to wrap loosely around her once more. His heart is still beating much too fast, and he swallows as if that would make it calm down.] Are you okay..? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2012-06-03 06:56 pm UTC (link)
	[She nods against him.] Yeah... I'm sorry about that. [She didn't mean to surprise him. She didn't mean to surprise either of them.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
