[seizedtheday]

Yes! Hello.

I don't mind, what's up?

[abovethefold]

Not to sound like I was stalking you or anything-- [Kath there is about 0% chance this isn't going to sound like you were stalking someone] --but I saw a conversation you were having with someone else on the network.

And, well... I think I remembered something because of it. Does this sound familiar?

"Better yet, what's New York got that Santa Fe ain't?"

[seizedtheday]

[ She was definitely stalking Jack ]

You... remembered that as well? [ ???????????? intesifies]

[abovethefold]

[NO! Maybe.]

Yes, I did. I think...

[It takes her a moment before she can say it.]

I think the three of us might all share the same memories.

[seizedtheday]

[ Right.... and his name is jim ]

Is that even possible? The little I've seen else wise seems so varied....

[abovethefold]

[IT'S VERY NICE TO MEET YOU JIM]

I don't know. But what other explanation could there be? I remember you asking Jack about Santa Fe, and the whole tarantulas thing. Why would I remember that too?

[seizedtheday]

[ how could this happen to me- ]

So then what do we do about this? Look into it? Continue on just knowing we're connected in some odd way?

[abovethefold]

[That's a... great question...]

I don't know about you, but I'm busy enough as it is between studying and work. But this isn't something we can just ignore, either. We'll keep remembering things, and my cousin said something about having proof of parallel universes...

What do you think about all of this?

[seizedtheday]

[ He might have spent a sleepless night thinking about this already ]

I think it's crazy. [ that's blunt, davey ] I only came here for school, not for.. for whatever this is.

I also think there's not much we can do except deal with whatever comes. I haven't seen any mention of being able to stop it.

But.... it's nice knowing there's someone else who understands what I'm remembering.

[abovethefold]

[It's blunt, but Katherine feels the same way, honestly.]

No, all I've seen seems to be confirmation that you can't stop it.

You mean, someone who isn't a complete ass?

[Guess whose conversation with Jack just came to its frustrating close.]

[seizedtheday]

Which isn't reassuring the slightest.

[ ...Oh Jack, what did you do now ]

He's been rather against it, hasn't he?

[abovethefold]

A little bit.

[Understatement of the century.]

I don't get it. If he was so intent on going to Santa Fe, then why does it make him so mad to think about now?

[seizedtheday]

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

[abovethefold]

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.

[seizedtheday]

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.

[abovethefold]

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

[seizedtheday]

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

[abovethefold]

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.]

[seizedtheday]

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.

[abovethefold]

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.

[seizedtheday]

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.

[abovethefold]

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.

[seizedtheday]

[ 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.

[abovethefold]

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.

[seizedtheday]

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
