I've been wondering if it's because our 'memories' are coming in pieces. If he's recalling things we haven't.

[ it might be the cause of said sleepless nights ]

Though I guess it's hard to say if it's before or after or just out of context given how reticent he's being

You should really ask him that question, Davey.

[Because, well... he definitely is recalling something they aren't, if all this about selling them out is true. And that doesn't feel like something she can just tell Davey, either.]

It'd be nice if they all came to us in order, wouldn't it? Like a whole narrative, front, middle, and end. Then maybe we could call him on his nonsense and get some answers.

I'll be lucky to get any sort of straight answer out of him.

[ Without pushing the issue that is. And we're trying to avoid that for now. ]

Haha, if only. Knowing him, he'd still be difficult about it.

You sound like you've had a lot of experience dealing with him.

It certainly feels like I've been doing it forever.

You've got more patience than I do, then. I don't think I could make it a whole day.

How long have the two of you known each other?

[Lifetimes, apparently.]

It's all thanks to years of babysitting quite honestly.

And... gosh, has it only been since freshman term started? It feels much longer than that.

The patience, or knowing how to deal with Jack?

So only a couple of years so far? The way you two were bickering, I would have thought you'd been friends much longer than that.

Ha, I don't think all the patience in the world will ever be enough.

But it certainly seems that way, doesn't it? Who knows how long it's really been if these hallucinomemories are to be believed.

I'm glad you at least know what you're in for.

[In spite of her irritation with Jack, she is teasing! Mostly.]

I know you mean how long the two of you have known each other, but I have to ask: did things seem old-fashioned in your visions, too? The clothes you two were wearing were a bit out of date for today.

[ Davey only dry chuckles at his phone over that. This is after all, Jack we’re talking about ]

As well as someone can, dealing with him.

But now that you mention it…..
It did look more akin to a period film than modern day, didn’t it?

I’ve never seen so many newsboy caps in one place before.

That's right. Newsboy caps and vests, skirts and petticoats...

[And long, knee-length underwear? In spite of the fact that in her visions she's felt completely at ease in the strange clothing, thinking back on it now it seems odd.]

Maybe if we research the clothing we remember, we can get an idea of the time period. After all, we already know where we were.

Also buildings. And probably the surrounding scenery too? [ why don’t you give context clues too, memory? ]

I guess this calls for a research trip

That's a good idea. Architecture can provide context clues as well. Street names may not give us too much to go on, since they still exist today, but a building's location and purpose could be cross-referenced with the buildings that have stood on that particular lot...

Do you want to work together? I could meet you at the library sometime soon and we can see what we find.

Interior would probably provide the bigger clues between its design and decor. Photos if any, would too.

If I only could remember the prices of that deli…. that would be a breakthrough

[ You’ve got him all excited now. Research!!!! ]

That would be great. Two heads are definitely better on something like this. Especially being able to cross check each other like none other.
