the day eddie walked into the firehouse and saw someone who looked exactly like his best friend , he thought it was the shannon - kim situation all over again ... but then he heard the other introduce himself : buck. it sent a shiver down his spine ; it was him , without a single ounce of recognition in sight. to put it kindly , eddie was fucked ... and then buck goes and does his thing , throwing caution to the wind , and suddenly they're calling a second RA unit just for him. ❝ don't move , ❞ the former combat medic said through his teeth as he attempted to clean up the largest slash on the other's forehead. he lost count how many times he'd seen buck covered in blood , though not always his own , and yet he was still the first to jump ( practically demand ) to be the one to patch him up ; like he was the only one who was properly trained to handle him. ❝ we both know you could have a concussion. calm down. ❞

settling in to a new place was reminiscent of moving into her own apartment. and yet, this town was nothing like home. she wished she was back home more often than not, and at least she had things from home here, but it wasn't the same. nothing here was the same as back home, no matter how much she wanted it to be. so when she'd been walking through the town, trying to figure out how to furnish her place to get it anything like how she had felt comfortable in her home back home but it wasn't working. a to go cup in her hands as she walked, she felt lost as she walked the still unfamiliar streets, “i could really use…” she had started talking to herself when she looked up and spotted her mom, “mom?” she called out, walking toward her, hoping that it wasn't just some look alike – because with her luck it could be. 

there   was   a   panicked   look   in   her   eyes   as   she   glanced   down   at   the   one   baby   sea   turtle   that   had   gotten   left   behind   during   the   hatch.   she’d   managed   to   guide   the   rest   to   the   ocean,   but   this   one   had   gotten   stuck   on   some   garbage   that   someone   must’ve   left   on   the   beach.   assholes.   injured   now   and   wouldn’t   let   kiara   pick   him   up   without   being   in   pain.   the   area   was   crowded,   but   no   one   seemed   to   care   enough   to   stop   to   help.   kiara   let   out   a   frustrated   sigh,   trying   to   think   on   her   feet.   “   hey,   hey   !   “   she   waved   her   arms   in   the   air   when   she   saw   a   face   that   was   vaguely   familiar   -   in   the   sense   that   she   met   him   a   few   days   ago.   sort   of   a   weird   interaction,   and   maybe   kie   shouldn’t   have   been   waving   him   over   when   he   was   likely   crazy.   but   something   told   her   that   he’d   help.   “   dude,   come   here.   it   was   -   shit,   jay..   right   ?   “   the   girl   furrowed   her   brows.   “   anyway,   can   you   give   me   a   hand?   we   need   to   get   this   one   to   a   vet.   “

daniel had been at the community center all day. he was part doing volunteer work and part working on his own stuff. he liked balancing his work from the medical, which felt heavy and dealing with things he had seen too much of when he was a kid and then the creative as well. the animal part was also nice to help out with, but could take a toll as well, so he did that when they needed him. he was on his way home when he decided to stop at his brother's place instead of heading straight home. something the nurse at the clinic said having stuck with him since the other day, it bothered him. “two questions,” he said when he saw his brother in the doorway, “first, has anything happened to you? i mean other than the obvious.” he said, looking at buck with a shrug and not seeing anything new or different. which was at least a relief. “second, did you bake anything good? i'm hungry.” daniel glanced around, then as if he remembered he pulled the canvas out of his bag. a piece of artwork he'd been working on. it wasn't anything too special, but it was something that he'd done with his brother in mind, his favorite colors and everything, “also, i made this and thought you might want it.”

❝ hear me out , jess !! ❞ never a good start , when coming from nick's mouth ; never knew what could follow. ❝ a werewolf and a fairy , no wait , ❞ he hopped over their couch , landing with a thud. ❝ a werewolf and a vampire , forced to marry to form an alliance ... but forget their marriage , it's actually about the secret political state of the fucked up states of america. ❞

will had only been in this town for a short time now , but there was some feeling haunting him. something didn't feel right , but ... it wasn't upside down or vecna wrong , either. in the relative quiet , he was trying to maintain some sort of normal in the meanwhile. ❝ welcome to comics and more , ❞ he habitually greeted at the sound of the door's bell. ❝ can i ... ❞ he cut himself as he caught a glimpse of a familiar face. ❝ ... mike ? wheeler ?? ❞

donna didn't know what to do about everything. being in this place felt so odd to her, but she wanted to make the best of the situation too. hence the job, and doing something decent. it was just something she was trying. holding out the bag of chips to jackie she spoke, "so do you want to hang out in the studio while i do my radio show later? i know it's the worst kind of hour and you probably want to sleep at that point or something since it's late at night, but it's not too bad. and the music selection is kind of fun."

"okay, soph, i'm just saying that we should be doing something." shiloh said with a shrug of her shoulders. she didn't know what. but the fact that they were out of the lab and had managed to somehow make it to a new century was astounding. she both loved and hated all of this. she needed to know more about this, but also thought that if they questioned it they might wind up somehow back without any reasonable explanation. "fun. i mean. not reasonable. i heard someone talk about trying to figure all of this out. and sure, that's something, but i want to live for a little first, don't you?"
