I just got lost and slept right through the dawn

Who: Emma Swan + YOU
Where: the neighborhood, the school, the tea shop, pick your own adventure
When: April somethin'
What: settling in
Warnings: N/A? will update if needed. (probably won't be needed)
[Open]

1 - house / neighborhood.

[ there's one way for Emma to get a feel for this town, and that's by embracing her life in it. sure, she woke up with a few distinctly unbelievable memories about fairytales and magic, but the more she's settled into a routine, the more this place has filled in some of the blanks. the title of "savior" isn't an actual job, but memories, records, and people tell her that she's a physical education teacher who alternates between teaching self defense and safe sex.

pushing up against the unbelievable, she finds a more modest life here. family, friends, a mix of memories both good and bad, all with people who matter to her. she knows it's all supposed to ground her in reality here. hell, she feels insane for even thinking about the kid who'd been on her mind right after she'd woken up in the hospital, but that memory isn't as easily pushed aside as Snow White and Prince Charming.

she holds on to all of it, not matter how ridiculous, as she settles back into old routines. She might be found sitting out front, pretending to plant some flowers even though she's distracted by anyone who wanders by , or maybe she's jogging around, trying to blow off some steam or run away from her problems. unfortunately, it never seems to work.]


2 - school.

[ getting back to work should help her sort things out, so Emma's back at school the Monday after the accident. she's not quite the type to sacrifice what's comfortable for her to keep up with an expected dress code, which means her usual attire leans a little more towards jeans and leather than any sort of track suit.

by all appearances, she looks like her old self, even if she spends a little too much time moving from place to place, taking in the school and the people around her. she might be found in the faculty room or moving to or from one of her classes. if all else fails, there's always the gym - just don't sneak up on her when she's warming up.]


3 - Go Ask Alice.

[ if there's one thing suspicious about this shop, it's that the hot chocolate is seasonal. anyone who works there expects Emma to ask for it regardless of season, though she'll settle for a decent cup of coffee and a chocolate chip scone.

this place isn't really her kind of thing, yet she can't even remember how many times she's been in here. even the table she takes, one by the window, is the same one she always sits at. she's a creature of habit whether she likes it or not, and it could be worse. at least the scone is worth coming back for. maybe even the coffee.

in other words, take her money.]


4 - OR...

[wildcard option! want something that isn't here? leave it in the comments or find me at [plurk.com profile] swanning and I'll write it for us!]

School

[ Clary isn't expecting to see Emma at school. In fact, she'd been told to take a few days off to rest herself but she thought the idea was silly. She'd always been a fast healer. As fuzzy as her memory is, she doesn't recall ever taking a sick day except for the day she was sent home for having the chicken pox.

Seeing Emma in the hallway, Clary pauses and runs over with a quick wave of her hand and a soft smile. The memories flood into her, similar to how they had with Aunt Pepper. Emma is someone that Clary's always known, it's silly to think she'd forget the woman now.]
Hey, I didn't think I'd see you for a bit. Are the self defense classes still going? I've been getting better with my left hook.

[Clary shifts her sketchpad so it's positioned safely under her left arm and mimics a rather horrible punch through the airy with her right. There is an easy smile on her lips along with an air of comfort. Clary clung to what she thought was normal while other memories shifted uncomfortably in her head.]

[Clary strives for levity, more so after the weeks she's been having. Strange visions flicker like candle light in her head, trying to remind her of something she's forgotten. It was a familiar feeling though. As if forgetting was a common occurrence through the course of her life. Sometimes she had nightmares, strange monsters coming after her, demanding a cup of some kind. It's those nights that Clary is happy that she lives alone because she's gone searching through her cupboards more than a few times before coming to her senses.]

You know I don't really care for fighting. [Self defense isn't exactly fighting, at least not to Clary.] Or at least hitting people. [She laughs softly as if remembering some joke.]

That's what I'm doing. I mean, after Aunt Pep got me released from the hospital. Looks like a lot of people got pretty banged up. It's unlucky. [Sometimes Clary believes in luck.]

[Clary nods her head enthusiastically. Her smile is bright and warm, her green eyes wide and impressionable. She felt untouched memories nag at the back of her thoughts but they'd all return in time. It's what she kept telling herself, sometimes over and over again.]

Yeah. Luck gets better.

[Clary, like Emma, is the sort of person who prefers to make her own luck.]

Anyway, what's the plans for classes now?

[She doesn't remember what they were working on before, just that Clary had been a part of it.]
babyhunter: (Smile)

[Clary takes the paper gingerly between her fingers, her bright green eyes skimming the different lists that are typed up on the page. After reading through it she hands the paper back to Emma with a smile.]

I will definately show up. [Unless there is another horrible accident that she doesn't remember.]

And you might not think I'm trying but I am.

[She laughs a bit, remembering some of her friends telling her that she punches like a girl.]
babyhunter: (Awkward)

I'm really looking forward to it.

[Clary feels a laugh gather in her throat. It's odd, it's familiar but strange. She can't help but feel like there is something that she's forgotten. An imagine comes to mind. It's her mother but not as she remembers, all across her skin are small silver cuts. She tries to focus on the imagine but it's gone and a headache is left in it's place.

Her palm presses against her forehead while a pained grimace crosses her features.]


Ah, ow. Sorry. I think I need to lay down.

[She has to get to class but Clary isn't sure she'll make it. She feels a wave of dizziness wash over her. For a moment she sees as if a vale has been lifted from her eyes before it quickly returns.]

[Clary shakes her head, flashing Emma a smile.]

No, I'll be fine. I just got a headache or something. It's been happening recently. I'll see you in class okay? Or if you stop by Aunt Peps. Let me know.

[She raises her hand and turns to leave, hoping that Emma doesn't stop her. She knows where the nurses office is and the woman there is nice. She'd be able to spend a period laying down.]
