[ A C T I O N]

[ At first, he wonders if this is just a vivid dream. He wakes up and finds himself laying on his back in what looks like a garden. If it is a dream, it's a nice one, at least for now. He'd been let out to help with that mission involving the motorcycle gang, and he's been out of that cell a few other times, but it's always fleeting and he can never fully enjoy it because he knows he'll be put back there eventually. Maybe it's really what he deserves, in the end, but as he stands up and brushes some grass off his jumpsuit, he can't help just savoring the smell out here, the fresh air, and the warmth of the sun on his skin. His eyes close as he just tilts his head upward for a moment, breathing it in.

This can't be a dream. It feels too good, too real. So that means he was let out for some reason. It makes no sense, though, because his sister would be with him. Did something happen to her? He looks around and spots a large building, deciding to at least start there. ]

[ N E T W O R K]

[ When he figures out how to use the device, there's a slightly panicked look in Roman's eyes. ]

Uh. Hello? I'm...I'm looking for my sister. Jane. She has to be here, I just don't know how to find her.

video; THIS IS FINE

[endingpoint]

[ Jane doesn't see the message right away. She's doing a tattoo on someone's leg and is just finishing up when they play their device and she hears the message, looking up sharply. She basically pushes the person out of the door and sits down with her device, watching the video.

It's him.

The man from her picture. He even has the scar, so it can't be Daisy's friend who died.

Now that she's faced with it, Jane doesn't know what to do. She clears her throat, wets her lips, and says nothing. She needs to and wants to before someone else does, but she has no idea who he is. Her brother, so this should come naturally, shouldn't it? She's supposed to protect him. That much she knows instinctively. ]

I'm...I'm here. Where are you?

[ Her voice shakes, maybe the only thing that betrays her cool exterior. ]

I'll come find you.

*hyperventilates*

[twofates]

[ He's instantly relieved, drawing in a sharp breath, with a noticeable flicker of a smile on his lips. ]

Downstairs. The lobby.

action; let's just fuck everything up right away which is also jane's motto in life

[endingpoint]

[ Jane should message Kurt, she knows she should, but chances are he's seen the message and she wants answers too badly to stop. ]

I'll be there soon.

[ And she is, less than five minutes later because she ran all the way down all six flights of stairs from the tattoo parlor. Pausing in the stairwell to catch her breath, she closes her eyes and pulls up the video again, just looking at him, wanting to remember something about him before she faces him, but it's impossible. At least right now. When she finally walks into the lobby she spots him immediately and makes her way to him. ]

Are you okay?

[ First things first; he'll know soon enough she has no idea who he is. ]

it's a sibling thing

[twofates]

[ Roman immediately moves towards her, just so relieved she's actually here, she's safe, and she's here. He's not alone. He nods at her. ]

Are you? Where were you? What...what happened to us?

[endingpoint]

I'm okay.

[ She manages to smile just a little, but it doesn't quite reach her eyes. ]

I'll explain everything, but there's something you should know first.

[ She swallows and clears her throat. ]

I don't...know you. I know you're important to me, but that's it.

[ At that, she pulls the pictures she has out of her back pocket. It goes everywhere with her and she passes it over. It's clearly them in happier times, smiling together at a lake. ]

This is the only reason why. I can feel it, that you're my family. I've wanted to meet you for a long time.

[twofates]

[ Roman's heart drops to his stomach suddenly, and there's a clear look of panic in his eyes now. She was the one who knew stuff. Not everything, of course, because she'd lost her memory, too, but...she could tell him things. She made him feel safe. ]

They took your memory again?

[endingpoint]

No, not again. I just...haven't remembered you yet.

[ She can see him panicking and immediately she reaches out, her hand going to his shoulder and squeezing gently. It's instinctive. That part hasn't gone anywhere, it seems. And this meeting is so different compared to when she met her brother with Sheperd....which she doesn't remember yet. Whatever. ]

When people are brought here, it can be at different points in their timelines. I think I'm from before we ever met. What's your name?

[twofates]

Oh. [ It's so strange and confusing, but her hand on his shoulder feels familiar, at least. She's always trying to comfort him like that. She always takes care of him. ] I'm Roman. But...you told me I used to Ian. Ian Kruger. And your name was...Alice. But then you changed it to Remi.

[ He shakes his head, closing his eyes tightly for a moment and drawing in a sharp breath. ] Our mother changed it.

[endingpoint]

[ He's just told her more about her life than she's figured out in months, and her eyes widen.

Alice Kruger.

She's Alice. And she's in Wonderland, but she'll think about that later. She frowns instead. ]

Our mother changed our names? Is she...is she alive?

[twofates]

She's not...she's not our real mother. She took us away from the orphanage and she did...terrible things to us.

[ He lifts his head swiftly, and his eyes are a little red. ]

She did this to me, she took my memories away because she couldn't control me anymore.

[endingpoint]

Roman did...did our mother do this to me?

[ She means the tattoos in general, and she sort of gestures at her entire body. If she did this to Roman, she probably did it to Jane but why? God, this is all so...she has no words. ]

Come on, let's sit.

[ Gently she takes his hand, guiding him to a few chairs out of the way. ]

[twofates]

I think you told me that she...made you do it.

[ He looks down at their joined hands, studying it, as if still trying to wrap his mind around the concept of human touch. There's so much he doesn't remember, but it feels like this was always a rare thing for him. When they sit, he has to ask. ]

Is Kurt here? He's the last thing I remember.

[endingpoint]

Yeah. Yeah, he's...we...

[ Jane clears her throat and looks at Roman. ]

We live together. His sister is here, too but you've never met her, even before our mother erased your memories.

[ She has another question though, eyes looking at him imploringly. ]

Who's our mother? What's her name?

[twofates]

You and Kurt...oh. So Oliver isn't here?

[ It just slips out, he has no idea he shouldn't have said that, probably. ]

Our mother - you call her Shepherd.

[endingpoint]

Wait. Who?

[ wHAT. No. No, no, no. This is not what she wants to hear. If there's someone else named Oliver, it means there's no Kurt, and she doesn't want to know what that means.

And then he says their mother is Shepherd and she's pretty sure she's going to pass out because what the fuck is happening right now. ]

There's no one else. Kurt...Kurt and I have been here for nine...maybe ten months. I can't remember. Time doesn't actually move here. When we're here, time is frozen for us back home.

[ Explaining this is better than focusing on everything else that came out of Roman's mouth. ]

[twofates]

[ Oh. He said something wrong. ]

Um. He's...a friend. I think. He gave you flowers, but...if you and Kurt. It...it doesn't mean anything, right?

[ He should probably be the one reassuring her, and yet. ]

[endingpoint]

[ Jane closes her eyes for a second, trying to remind herself: it's going to be okay. It'll all be okay. She believes what Kurt told her before, and there's a future, she knows it. ]

I guess we'll see. This place has a way of pulling people together. But it might not mean anything.

[ She tries to smile reassuringly at him, squeezing his hand again. ]

You said the last thing you remember is being somewhere with Kurt?

Action (Kill me pls.)

[morethan084]

[It wouldn't be the first time Daisy's had a dream about Lincoln, some of them were good, but there were just as many nightmares too that involved him. This one though? This was new. Daisy had never seen him in a prison outfit and it's enough for her to come to a stop about a yard away from him as her stomach dropped.]

Lincoln?

[twofates]

[ As far as he knows, Roman's had just two names in his life: first, he was Ian Kruger. And he doesn't remember much of his childhood - yet - but he knows it was terrible enough that both he and his sister came up with new names to completely forget that life and start over. So he became Roman. He's never heard the name 'Lincoln' but...he'd been undercover so many times, maybe it was an alias he'd used once. Maybe she really does know him. She knows his face, so that has to be it. ]

I'm...I'm sorry, I don't remember you. [ Judging by the look on her face, that's not going to be great news, and he actually does feel a flicker of regret, that he can't just be who she needs him to be. ] I don't remember a lot of things right now.

[morethan084]

[The scar on his face is very much visible the closer she gets to him and it's like a punch to her gut. She knows him, vaguely, but this isn't Lincoln. That girl, Jane, she had been looking for him.

This is not something Daisy thought she would ever have to deal with. Seeing someone who looks exactly like Lincoln, but isn't actually him. The guilt hits her like a brick all over again as all of those memories come flooding back. Lincoln is dead because of her.]

I thought you were someone else. Sorry.

[Except now she isn't sure what to do. It's hard to even look at a picture she had kept of Lincoln without crying, and then there's this guy here that looks almost exactly like him. If it weren't for the scar on his face, she would've thought it was him. This wasn't a dream and this wasn't Lincoln.

She actually didn't even know his name, because Jane didn't know his name. Daisy is making a really great first impression though, with the way she's just staring at him.]

[twofates]

[ Roman isn't very good at this sort of thing - comforting someone - but he's learning, he's getting better at being around other people in what could reasonably pass for a normal and healthy way. He's seen people hug each other in times of distress, but that's usually when they know each other. He doesn't think it would be welcomed, especially since he should be someone she knows. That might make it all a little harder.

He's quiet as all these thoughts and possibilities run through his mind, but then he finally clears his throat, looking both earnest and sad. Because she seems a little sad. ]

I'm sorry. I wish I could be him. For you. [ He clears his throat again. ] You seem sad.

[morethan084]

[This was a lot to deal with and it wasn't something she could just ignore. He sounded like him too and it's enough to have her stomach do flips.

His words don't exactly help with all of that as a lump forms in her throat and she wraps her arms around herself tightly in an attempt to hold herself together.]

It's-

[Well it's not fine. At all.]

There's someone here looking for you.

[twofates]

[ He's not surprised she doesn't want to talk about it, about the man he must look like and why it makes her so sad. People don't usually want to talk about the bad stuff, he knows. ]

My sister? Jane?

[morethan084]

She's your sister?

[Jane couldn't remember who he was to her, but somehow she didn't expect for them to be siblings. Then again, she barely knew her.]

She doesn't remember you, she just had a picture of you.
