[OPEN] And I'll dream each night of some version of you

What: Alice and Sam arrive back from their canon update
When: Early May

Notes: Open prompts for both Alice and Sam will be down in the comments! Body of the post is meta/closed to Sam.



It's just her luck, really. Goes to talk to some spooky external— thing and don't even die because it's dangerous, oh no, that'd be too logical. She was prepared for that risk. Getting accidentally shot by her overeager bodyguard she didn't ask for? That's the level of absurdity that her life is made of, these days, so of course that's what happened instead.

(Gwen Bouchard, when she fucking sees you again...)

The memories hit when Mortanne welcomes her back and with it, the fact that Sam was here, too, the first time, so if she's here again, then surely— maybe— she almost doesn't dare to ask but she does and Mortanne says yes, and, well, after that it's all she can do not to cry with relief.

She's alone on the ferry, except for ferryman. It's the most nervewracking few minutes of travel of her life and she spends it shifting from foot to foot, scratching at her arm, pulling at her hair—nervous, scared, anxious, excited, she doesn't know. She just knows that Mortanne wouldn't lie. So she pays her fare, steps off the boat, and then stands on the dock to wait.

She's not going anywhere until he turns up. She doesn't care how long it takes.

Around Town

It's a chance run-in that, in the remarkably pleasant spring afternoon, Jon spots a familiar face at the market. Little stalls in warmer weather make for nice browsing, and after the turbulence of a world of waking nightmares, he thinks he's well overdue for small, mundane pleasantries. And what better mundane pleasantry than catching up with someone he hasn't seen in a few months? (God, he's really got to get better at maintaining his social life. Coming back to it has made it glaring just how bad at this he is.)

"Oh, hey, it's--- Alice, right?" Even if he's just asking for propriety's sake, he doesn't look any less pleased for it, offering her a playful little grin. "It's been a while. They've figured out pink hair dye here since last time, have they?"

"Wh--- I---"

Jon sputters, reeling back from his face full of pear, trying to look around the shaking fruit. That's right, she did tell him about the computer voice, he'd nearly forgotten. He'd hoped he might have answers about that by now. (Of all the answers he got, not a word about a computer. What is that about?)

"Yes, I'm still here! Or, well--- back, as of the other day, I think I was gone for a week of time here, but--- y--- yes?" Not the most graceful response he's ever given, but considering the shaking pear, he'll cut himself some slack on this one.
apocryphalarchivist: ([Joy] haha oh my god?)

A pear-free moment of peace gives Jon a moment to look just as confused as he'd sounded, and then, it's back, as accusingly as a fruit held aloft could possibly be. The absurdity of it finally pushes past the bewilderment of it all; against all better judgement, Jon sputters a laugh.

"I'm sorry, are you suggesting that I... I don't know, took a few weeks off to--- terrorize you through your computer with case files?"
