Who: Topher and OPEN
When: Week Six and Seven
Where: Out and About
What: Reunions and tears. Probably not many tears



It was strange returning to this place. Strange, but not as frightening as one might think.

Okay, the whole death arena thing was kinda scary, but if Topher just ignored that whole issue, then coming back wasn't so bad. It certainly made things that happened back home easier to forget. Whiskey, Claire, whoever was a giant headache. Run around and trying not to die? Only a small headache that was easily soothed by juice boxes and cake.

One frustration was wandering around in a constant state of deja vu. Everything was familiar and yet sometimes he had zero idea why he knew a thing or person. He was normally not one for going outside under the best circumstances, but with this awkward memory thing he tried to at least take time out to wander around and jog his memory.

The more he wandered the more he was annoyed by how many people there were and how they all wanted to talk to him only to become offended when he stayed silent. Socialization was for chumps and Topher was no chump. What he was, was hungry, so he braved the line of some brightly decorated monstrosity of a cafe and ordered an extra large slice of whatever had the most chocolate. He sat at a table in the corner and tucked into his own chocolate profiteroles cake.

O-oh, when you put it that way... Chris' fork clattered to the table as he tried to convince himself his heart wasn't beating faster just from ingesting the cake. No, that was just the nerves of impending death. He could breathe through this. Maybe. Closing his eyes only brings to mind various ways in which his organs could be failing him at this exact moment in time.

"I guess it's a good thing I didn't let you eat it alone, then," Chris finally managed, uncomfortably, looking like he might actually want to throw up.

Chris put an elbow against the table and pillowed his chin on his hand, watching Topher once he was able to push down his own fear and nausea. "Does it remind you of home?"
