You are...

4. You hear the voice of your worst enemy in the walls
5. You would do anything for a grilled cheese sandwich
6. You have a cute and cuddly kitten...where did that come from?

Re: lance sweets | bones (+ paradisa cr au)

[fredless]

[Someone's head is in about a half-dozen places at once. Ok, maybe a dozen. Might even want to call in the baker because that one extra might come in handy.

(Someone also wasn't in Para)

She's going to run right into you now]

[likeababyduck]

[They collide softly, Sweets immediately bringing his hands up to square her shoulders. It's then that he gets a look at her face, and his becomes a mix of confusion and pleasant surprise.]

Fred!

[fredless]

[She's gone and walked into someone. Fred's cheeks flare briefly as she looks up into unfamiliar features. Only apparently? That part doesn't work both ways.

Her brow knits itself up with confusion]

I'm .... I don't think we've met? Only you know my name, so that' a silly enough statement right there."

[likeababyduck]

[Oh ... well, so much for that.]

Sorry. I ... I think I knew another you.

[fredless]

[Well that stops her up short]

You mean you know me from back home?

[It's possible, she supposes, that he worked at Wolfram and Hart. It just makes her head spin a little]

[likeababyduck]

[He pauses for a moment, before shaking his head.]

No. Not really. I know you from a place called Paradisa. Which ... you probably don't know.

[fredless]

[It's not a word that's even remotely familiar. It could have been Gebo, for all it touched anything]

Paradisa?

[likeababyduck]

[He nods.]

It's a magical castle, that kidnaps people, kind of the way the Grasp does here.

[fredless]

Well that's sounding dangerously like a trend. [She looks at him again, but no. Nothing's jogging a memory] But you're saying I was there...

[likeababyduck]

[He nods.]

But what they've said that when you leave you forget. The castle ... wipes your memory or something.

[So basically, he's not holding it against her.]

[fredless]

[So basically she could've been yanked yet another place without her say so, or even a memory of it. It's not the best feeling]

Which at the very least means I don't even know your name.

[likeababyduck]

[He knows the feeling. He'd probably notice the same if he were in her position.]

Oh! Sorry. Sweets.

[He extends a hand to her.]

Lance Sweets.

[fredless]

[The name makes her smile, but it's not anything he likely hasn't heard a hundred times before. So Fred just leaves it there. And just smiles]

It's nice to meet you. [Fred pauses] Again.

[likeababyduck]

[He nods.]

Nice to meet you again as well. It's always good to see a familiar face in places like this.

[fredless]

[It's only then that the reality of everything seeps in. Her cheeks flush]

You've probably got a thousand questions, don't you? And instead I keep peppering you with mine.

[likeababyduck]

[He smiles a bit, before shaking his head.]

No, it's okay. I'm still trying to process most of this. I have too many questions right now.
