are you just trying to change it up from last time? [in which he responded to her cuddlr by raising her more ??? instead but that does make her laugh slightly]

i just wanted to say hi. did you just get back?

[bornafraid]

[ there's a moment where he scrolls back to her cuddlr profile, looks extra hard at the blonde-haired blue-eyed girl staring back at him. ]

i'm sorry, this may be rude, but. do i know you? i mean, i'm pretty sure i'd remember if we met before. you have one of those faces, you know, memorable.

[ ... pretty.

pretty memorable. ]

[romancekiller]

[clarke pauses for a moment when she reads the text and luckily with how long she's been in eudio, she knows how people sometimes come back and don't remember]

oh. well we did when you were in this place before? it's okay if you don't remember though, it seems to be part of going back and forth between this place and back home.

[bornafraid]

i was here before?????

[ he hopes all those question marks accurately convey just how shocking this news is. ]

so just to be sure, what you're saying is that past me ( other me? ) on his way back to brooklyn somehow had his memories sucked right out of his head?

or lost them in transit?

[bornafraid]

i'm sorry, you know, for forgetting you. i'm sure i didn't mean to.

[ that is the right thing to say in this sort of situation, isn't it? ]

were we close? friendship level?

1/2

[romancekiller]

[she can definitely tell how shocked he is hearing that which makes this slightly awkward since she had to break it to him like that]

yeah that's exactly it. i'm not entirely sure how that even works though.

[romancekiller]

it's okay, i know it wasn't on purpose.

we talked a few times but we were friends though and i know a little bit about your world mostly from isabelle when she was here.

1/2

[bornafraid]

hey, we could always just chalk it up to magic. magic is always a good explanation.

2/3 i'm a liar sob

[bornafraid]

isabelle? izzy was here?

leather wearing, whip snapping izzy?

[bornafraid]

so you know about the whole 'all the legends are real' deal?

do you... do you know about me, then?

[ what he is. ]

1/3

[romancekiller]

yeah. i think so too because i'm not really sure what else could explain it. [well there could be a few things that would but she'd probably give herself a headache trying to figure that out]

[romancekiller]

yeah the one and the same. also your girlfriend from what she told me. i think the two of you probably left around the same time.

[romancekiller]

know what about you exactly?

i'm not too sure what you mean but yeah, i do know that most things i thought were fictional are real back in your world and in this place too.

1/2

[bornafraid]

my girlfriend?

[ ..................... this is his brain short-circuiting. ]

i would ask you to run that by me again, but it's right there. in text. as much as i'd like that, izzy is great, we're not. we're not an item.

[bornafraid]

nothing, it's nothing. forget i mentioned anything.

[ his secret is safe in the coffin, he thinks, for now.

he hopes this seems like an innocent, casual line of questioning : ] so there are downworlders here as well? non-humans? half humans?

1/2

[romancekiller]

oh sorry. i guess that was a bit too much? i guess it must have just been a thing when you were here before.

[romancekiller]

alright. consider it forgotten then.[clarke doesn't push the topic if it's not something he is wants to talk about especially since they are meeting for the first time again]

yeah people like that would be here too.

[bornafraid]

oh, no. don't apologize. it's not like it's bad news. just, wow. old me must have done something right with the universe.

so they just walk around like normal? no torches, pitchforks. no mobs spontaneously forming on the streets?

[romancekiller]

yeah, i guess. i was just going by what izzy told me when she commissioned something from me as a gift for you.

yeah they walk around normally. i mean we're all here for something, right? i'm pretty sure doing any of the above would be breaking some rule this place too.

[bornafraid]

she did that? please tell me she didn't commission a portrait of me ( going off the assumption that you're an artist ) i would much rather have one of her.

right. i mean, even downworlders have wishes that need granting.

[romancekiller]

yeah, she did. your assumption isn't wrong that i'm an artist or that she commissioned a portrait, though it was one with the two of you together.

yeah, exactly. this isn't the type of place to discriminate if you have wish you want granted as long as you meet your end of the deal.

1/2

[bornafraid]

that's a relief. did we look good together? is that a weird question to ask? or actually, what kind of pose were we doing?

i'm just, you know, curious.

[bornafraid]

it's cool, that you're an artist i mean. my best friend is one. or wait, did you already know that?

does the name clary ring a bell?

1/2

[romancekiller]

no, it's not weird.

i can show you if you want to see? i still have the the reference pictures she gave me along with a draft sketch i had before i gave her the final piece.

[romancekiller]

oh! yeah actually you mentioned her to me.

i only met her once when she was picking up something at the art supply store i work at. [meaning basic introductions happened but that was about it until she learned from simon that she was a friend of his]
