[Game 18] The Waking World

After successfully talking Zan into waking up—the world around you starts to dissolve and break apart. There's a lurch, like the sensation of abruptly falling into sleep, but backwards; and all around you, the glass begins to crack apart, splintering and sending ocean water splashing everywhere, gushing forward, a cascade of blue and black, alternating between starfish and actual stars, suspended in liquid sky.

. . . reality seems to bleed in overtop of it and, sluggishly, you find yourselves waking up all over a suburban basement in New Jersey. There is a lamp on near the bed, where someone is still asleep, though fitfully beginning to wake up.

More noticeably, there is a woman sitting up in bed with him, arms wrapped around her bare knees as she watches them with amusement, extremely beautiful and . . . extremely familiar.

"Wow." One hand drops to Zan's hair. "I don't even know where to start with you guys."

I wish I could go home.

I... can probably keep Tristan from tracing his card's use back, if we use it.

Elli...

[just gonna lean on Tristan once he's done kissing people and stuff]

Both guys.

[shifts back while he's thinking about it, and tips his head to where Tristan's done the same]

Oh, I could do that.

[does that]

We can use my money. You got it for me anyway, so you know how safe it is.

How dare you criticize me!

...It's... really... a lot.

What are we going to do? About this?

[we're driving. i'm blocking gps tracking on elli's phone. do you know if we're being tracked otherwise?]

I'm aware. I've got a history of trusting people who are outright using me, let alone those who could be. And I like my chances with you best.

Anyway, cheap hotel sounds good. We can wait for word there.
