I think I'm going to go crazy looking through all of this. Weddings, fights, deaths... how do we know any of this is real? Even if our names are on it, some of the things here are impossible. There was this one with this girl--

[a pause, and then a sigh] But everyone losing their memories doesn't exactly fall under normal, possible things, does it? Nothing makes sense.

... I'm Claire Bennet. If anyone has anything of mine, I'd appreciate seeing it.

[mutely takes down a newspaper clipping, staring at it for a moment]

This says I tried to kill myself.

[overninelives.livejournal.com]

What?

[tries to look at it, then just... looks away, since it's not her business]

[spongetastic.livejournal.com]

I jumped off a twenty story building. Why would I do that?

[overninelives.livejournal.com]

I don't know. [she shakes her head] Someone found video of me jumping off a water tower.

[spongetastic.livejournal.com]

You too?

[overninelives.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I said it was attempt number six. I don't know why I'd do that.

[spongetastic.livejournal.com]

[now he's starting to wonder if he tried it before D:] I don't know, either.

[overninelives.livejournal.com]

Without the right context, we shouldn't... jump to conclusions.

[spongetastic.livejournal.com]

Yeah. You're right. [folds up the clipping and sticks it in his pocket]

[overninelives.livejournal.com]

Are you okay?

[spongetastic.livejournal.com]

I don't know. I thought I'd feel better if I knew something about myself. But instead I just feel more lost.

[overninelives.livejournal.com]

I know how you feel.

[spongetastic.livejournal.com]

... [hugs her]

[overninelives.livejournal.com]

[she's surprised, but hugs him back]

[spongetastic.livejournal.com]

You looked like you needed that.

[overninelives.livejournal.com]

I think you needed it, too.

[spongetastic.livejournal.com]

I think you're right. [smiles at her] I'm glad I met you.

[overninelives.livejournal.com]

Same here.

I'm sure all of this will make sense later.

[spongetastic.livejournal.com]

Someone told me this usually doesn't last more than a week. So we just have to wait for it to be over.

[overninelives.livejournal.com]

[she nods]

I'm sure we're not... suicidal or anything. [despite it looking like that]

[spongetastic.livejournal.com]

You're probably right.

you saw no epic fail here

[overninelives.livejournal.com]

I bet I am.

of course I didn't :P

[spongetastic.livejournal.com]

I should probably get going. It was nice meeting you, Claire.

[overninelives.livejournal.com]

You too. If you need anything, I always have the journal with me, so...

[spongetastic.livejournal.com]

Thanks. Same to you.
