CONNECTIONS

Hey, don't I know you from somewhere?

Sure, first meetings can be fun to play out. On the other hand, those of us who crave those deeper relationships between characters often can't find it in crossovers or superficial canon interactions. No need to fret about those inconveniences in this meme. Around these parts, everybody knows your name - no, not Cheers. Sorry. I mean that all characters know each other.

They're connected, somehow.

HOW TO PLAY
- Comment with your character, preferences, what manner of assumed CR is okay with you. To ease tag ins even further, you might want to give examples of what kind of relationships your character would have, but that's not a hard prerequisite.
- Others tag in using the dialogue examples below to spark a thread where two old associates match up once more?
- Tag around.

Do you remember what I told you last time?
Have you been doing well since I saw you?
That's not what you told me back then.
When was the last time I saw you?
You were shorter then.
I'm picking the restaurant this time.
We've known each other since we were children.
Always knew I could count on you.
That time was different. This is worse.
You're not going to let me live that down, are you?
I seem to remember a conversation we had back then.
So you changed your mind about it?
Do you remember our encounter in Paris?
You should know me by now.
Am I the only one that knows the truth?
We had a lot of help back then.
Your mom told me to look out for you.
You just love bringing that back up to annoy me.
Maybe don't mention my past indescretions?
This was never going to work out between us.
I told you not to get attached.
I know more about you than you think.
I was there, remember?
I'm not about to forget all the shit you put me through.
You told me you were going to try and make this work.
Remember what I said to you?
The last time I saw you, things were good between us.
You never mentioned this before.
That was the longest flight of my life, and you made it worse.
Can I still trust you after all that?
At least we tried to make something work.
We never discussed what happened between us.
Okay, but I'm driving the car this time.
I haven't forgotten what you said last week.
I'm still thinking about your comment.
I didn't realize it was you when I first saw you.
You seem to make a lot of enemies around here.
There's not much for us to talk about.
We worked it out last time.
I know you far better than you know yourself.
We have a long history.
Is that the shirt you were wearing last time?
What don't I know about you?
I haven't told them about us.
You were the only person I could go to.
You know me.
This is bigger than both of us.
I can't stand your driving.
Are you taking me to the place we had dinner last time?
That's not at all what you said.
Didn't we agree on that?
I thought I made it very clear where I stand.
Are these the same people that came after you last time?
Are you still going on about it?
Can we talk about it?
Staying silent about it won't help.
You're the only person who knows the real me.
This is a bad time to talk about your problems.

((ooc; open to most everything but if you wish for something romantic let's discuss it first please. can play her as she is in canon where relationships will probably be fraught in some way or a "many years after SoV" ending where she's become more open and comfortable with what she is))

( open to most things. all genders welcome for shipping, but beware that she's more or less incapable of genuine affection. ask before smut or modern au. you could be a past fiancé, most likely male, or a past obsession, most likely female, a childhood friend or estranged family member from america. if you have other ideas, feel free to run them by me! historical setting preferred - she heralds very early 20th century, but willing to au her into other periods. )
