open starter, @hiddenstarters

Mark had been in town for almost two weeks now--enough time to realize that this world was not the one he'd come from, to realize he certainly wasn't dead (or if he was, this version of the afterlife was severely underwhelming to say the least), and that if he was going to find anyone he knew--if that was even possible--he was going to have to hit the pavement.

He stopped at a newspaper stand and picked it up, saying idly to the vender, "This real? I mean, real news?" He took off his sunglasses and looked around the street. "You know, I've seen a lot of cities. But none this...gray. Where's the color? The life? People are expected to do government here? No wonder they're all so repressed and-and grumpy. Hey, you--" He stopped the nearest person walking by. "What's there to do around here for fun?"

[miindfuck]

Cora glanced at the man, debating whether or not to answer his question. She didn't particularly care for being addressed with a 'hey, you', arching an eyebrow and pursing her lips. "It's a big city — I'm sure there's a lot you could do to stave off the boredom." She smiled, tilted her head. "Why don't you go watch a movie?"

[irresistiibles]

@miindfuck asked: 3, clara and cora

♫ 3 : bling-bang-bang-born by creepy nuts

"mirror, mirror, on the wall, just answer me who's the best? i'm the best." clara said, grinning as she looked at the other woman. she didn't know what was going on, if she was looking at some sort of clone, or just a doppelganger, but either way she didn't feel particularly bothered. she was mostly intrigued, and a little glad she got lucky enough to have some extra looks of herself running around. "it's a nice face. i really can't be mad about seeing it around the city."

[miindfuck]

Of course Cora had heard about this issue in Washington — people with identical faces and no known relation to each other, but this was her first time experiencing it first hand. She froze, her eyes moving over the other, taking her in. It troubled her, deeply, but she was hardly going to admit as much. Quickly composing herself, the corners of her lips turned upwards and she chuckled. "Well, I suppose I can't argue with that." Her mind was already working, considering the potential pros and cons of having a lookalike in the city. She held out her hand. "I'm Cora. And who do I have the… pleasure of sharing my face with?"

@wvsteria asked: ♫ + 35 (shannon & soren)

35, fortnight — taylor swift, post malone

"I wanna kill him." An exaggeration of course, but the way Jack hadn't remembered anything about the Island was pissing her off. As if she could make up something like that. Shannon shook her head. "He acted like I was crazy, but he's the one who's got like... amnesia or something."

[miindfuck]

@tragcdysewn asked: 🎵 + 13 (river and ahsoka)

13. haven - marianas trench

"I'll try to belong here," River said. The truth was she was a bit unsettled by this place, about not knowing exactly what it was or how it worked, but it was kind of exciting as well. Anyway, most of her loved ones were here and that was the most important thing. "After all, it doesn't look like we have much of a choice, do we?"

[miindfuck]

@tragcdysewn asked: 🎵 + 62 (cora and davina)

62, nightmare — pvris

"I never saw your face, just your energy." Cora smiled at the other, tilting her head slightly. "I'm glad I can see both, now."

[devilsmenu]

"I'm glad you remember me, I've heard about people losing their memories here" Juliet felt relief at that, hugging him tight, she really missed them. "My memories are bit foggy but I remember dying. Did it worked out?".

[miindfuck]

Sawyer held her tightly, afraid she might disappear if he let go. They chuckled a little despite it all, tears in their eyes. "C'mon now, I couldn't forget you if I tried," he muttered. "It..." Sawyer paused, pulling back a little. He wanted to lie, but he couldn't, not to her. "No, it... it didn't work. When the bomb went off, it just... took us back to 2007. And that was it."

[miindfuck]

@mvsicinthedvrk asked: ♫ (10) for sawyer & zhao yunlan

10. dancing on our graves - voila

"In the end, we'll never change." Sawyer took a sip of his beer, shaking his head. "I mean sure, we can give it a shot, we can pretend to be someone we're not, but when it comes down to it... we are who we are, you know?"

[miindfuck]

@wvsteria asked: ♫ + 100 (cora & agatha)

100. red stars - the birthday massacre

"No truth, all pretension.." Cora paused, looking over Agatha for a moment before smiling a little. "I must admit, it's a concern of mine. How can I know you're being truthful with me, Agatha?"

[devilsmenu]

62, sunny and shannon

Flower - Aoi Triangle

"As soon as I realized those feelings I've realized this was a blue love. But I can't see myself with anyone else but him, you know? Like I've said, blue love" Sunny told Shannon with a sad sigh.

[miindfuck]

"Blue love? You mean like... unrequited feelings or something?" Shannon raised her eyebrows, looking at the other.

71, harley and river

If It Wasn't for the Nights by Abba

"No one to turn to, you know how it is." She said with a sigh. It seemed like no one she knew would ever show up. Except Cassandra. But she wasn't much for company, no offense to her. She missed Ivy and Selina. Even the bat.

[miindfuck]

"Yes... unfortunately I can say I do know how it is." River smiled at the other, contemplating. Not here -- here she had the Doctor and her parents -- but it hadn't always that way, and she had gotten used to surviving on her own. "Well, you can turn to me, if it helps."

[wndrstruck]

Ithan shot a quick glance to the sky. “Flash of light…? Was it an airplane? Could’ve been a comet too.” He shrugs, lightly. “Weird stuff kinda happens around here. Are you new?” He waffles with how much to explain, not wanting to overload them with information. “We’re all kinda pulled from different worlds… I know how crazy that sounds. But, somehow, it’s true. So just a heads up there’s a lot of … different people here. I guess people call it supernatural.”

[miindfuck]

"I know what a damn airplane looks like," Sawyer snapped irritably. And frankly he hoped never to see an airplane again. He chuckled a little, shrugging his shoulders. "Well, maybe that's what it was. A comet. Musta been the last thing the dinosaurs saw, too. Big ol' flash a light in the sky. Is that what this is? Am I in dinosaur heaven?" Their brow furrowed, confusion growing as the other spoke. "I — you know what, yeah, I guess I'm new." They smiled, no longer trying to make sense of the situation and just playing along. "So supernatural... we talkin' vampires and wendigos, all that?"

[rainbowmuses]

"Flash in the sky?" Mulder asked, his gaze moving up towards said sky and hummed. "No sadly I didn't" but it wouldn't be all that surprising. He was still trying to make sense out of all of this town and the magic that it had. Why they were all stuck here and couldn't leave. Not even to visit other parts of America.

[miindfuck]

"Yeah, well..." Sawyer scowled unhappily, grumbling a moment longer before giving up on the logistics of this situation. Things that happened on the Island never made any sense anyway, why would it start making sense now? They glanced around. “Hey, looks like I made it off the Island, anyhow. Isn’t that just… peachy.” Sawyer was trying to just accept this new reality, but of course he was bothered, unnerved. “You got a damn shirt I can borrow? I'm freezing." His shirtless-ness had not been an issue on the beach a moment ago — it was warm there and he had been drying off from a swim — but here he felt both very cold and very underdressed.

Yeon frowned when he was approached. "I'm sorry?" He didn't see a flash of light. "There was a flash of light? All I see is the sun? Is that what you're talking about? Or am I missing something?"

[miindfuck]

"No, it was..." Sawyer paused, frowning and giving up. If the guy didn't see it, he didn't see it. "You know what? Nevermind." He gave a tight smile, glancing around. A moment ago, he had been drinking with Juliet on the beach. But it seemed like whatever just happened, he was alone now. "You seen a blonde lady around here? Nice hair, blue shirt...?"

[mvsicinthedvrk]

Someone jogs over as though meaning to approach Dongfang Qingcang, but seems confused about what to say in the first place. It's very odd behavior, and therefore the Moon Supreme gives the other an disconcerted stare in return. "There was no flash of light in the sky," he states with great authority. Sometimes there is, but there hasn't been a thunderstorm in quite some time-- and occasionally, there are airplanes that blink lights in the sky, but its mid-day, and seeing anything similar to that would have been impossible when it's already so bright out. "You are mistaken."

[miindfuck]

He glared at the other, irritated at the authoritative way he was denying what Sawyer clearly saw. "The hell you mean there was no flash of light? I know what I saw, damn near blinded me.” They frowned. “Man, where am I? And who the hell are you?" He wanted to believe it was some kind of a trick or hallucination, but the climate was a lot colder here than it had been on the Island, and that confused him. This place seemed like a genuine city, and that also confused him. Still, he didn’t believe he could just randomly be someplace else, so there must be another explanation. “Did Locke put you up to this? Benjamin Linus put you up to this?”

@miindfuck - Juliet & Sawyer

Juliet was so lost on this world, a lot happened. She shouldn't be surprised by coming up to a place out of nowhere but being on 2009 and then in 2024 was a huge difference. A lot of slangs she didn't knew, social medias she never heard about. Her mind was on fire at this time. And she also had a life, even if they were stuck in the 70s, her and Sawyer had it all there and she had him, but now not even it. She was missing them.

She was so distracted that she didn't noticed someone was coming the same way. "Oh, I'm sorry" she started apologizing and then she look up to see who it was, her eyes wide and her heart feeling more relief. "James!" she yelled in relief and hugged him. "If you let me go once again I'll be kicking your ass".

[miindfuck]

Since arriving in Washington, memories had been returning to him in flashes. It was confusing and agitating — he remembered random time jumps and getting stuck in the 1970s, joining the damn Dharma Initiative... experiences that felt new and old all at once. And the more they remembered, the more they were looking for Juliet. Sawyer was mulling over the memories in his head when someone bumped into him — he was whirling around to tell them to watch it when he recognized her, eyes widening. "Juliet?" he muttered, his former irritation melting away. He wrapped his arms around her, hugging back. They grinned at her words, arms tightening around her. "That ain't gonna happen, baby. I got you."
