Characters: John Harley and YOU
Setting: Dormitory hallways
Format: Starting with prose, but happy with either!
Summary: John has just woken up on the second dorm level and wanders around confused.
Warnings: None yet!

John was confused. He was pretty sure this wasn't the medium - it didn't look anything like what he'd seen following Jade on his computer, nor like anything in the clouds.

After the dreams he'd been having, waking up in a dark, cold room was making it hard for him to maintain his usual cheerfulness. He wandered around, investigating the other rooms, but they all looked the same; dark and empty. It was creepy and kind of reminded him of that book Dave was always going on about. That, in turn, reminded him of the scary as hell post-dreamself-death dreams. Maybe he was still asleep?

Eventually, he found the stairs and made his way down.

"No, I..." John stares at her, confused and dismayed. Does she not like him now that things are weird?

"Okay, this is really weird, but you're still Jade, right? Maybe that's the important thing." He smiles carefully. "And since we're both Harleys, it's kind of like we're twins!"

Oh no, she's upset him. She's not even sure what she did but she probably deserves it -- her face falls slightly, and she idly chews on her nonexistent thumbnail. He's free to notice the torn state of her hands in the meantime.

"You still act like John...you're my best friend." The last part makes her pause, and she looks up from her studious study of her own shoes to smile at him. "I'd like to be twins."

He grins, completely failing to notice her hands, and pulls her into another hug.

"Awesome!"

O-oh hugs, she can do these. Her return hug is tentative, mostly because she thinks that he might get mad at her. Or worse, that he might disappear.

"Y-yeah. This is pretty cool."
