bakerstreet | this life i don't remember

someone else's life

Establishing a good relationship can be hard. There's all that meeting, dating, falling in love - who needs it? It would be so much easier if you could just be in a relationship like that, fingers snapped, no questions asked. All the good companionship, none of the bad stress.

At least, in theory, that would be nice. But in practice? Well, you'll have to see for yourself.

You wake up, dazed and confused, maybe in a new place, maybe in a new world. Even if you're in your old faithful home, there's a new addition: someone who's living with you or visiting you, claiming to be involved with you. More than that, they're you're lover. Or so they claim! They don't seem to be lying. They're adamant that they have memories with you - perhaps even intimate memories - and don't know why you're acting so strangely.

Now that you think about it, you have those memories too, and you begin to believe. Of course, you're together. It makes sense. In some part of your mind, however, you just can't shake the feeling that this life isn't exactly what it seems.

Despite that niggling whisper, the two of you are happy together, happier than you've ever been, and a genuine love grows. All that paranoia from before echoes only as a mental lapse or a mistake in judgement.

You weren't wrong at first. On the contrary, your gut instinct was right. Secrets can't stay that way, no matter how you feel, and how both of you were put together will eventually be revealed. How much between you is organic and how much manufactured? Can you stay with someone when you know you've both been caught in a lie?

Comment with your character, preferences, and a little info about your character.
Those replying to your character will be the one your character is in a relationship. In other words, your character will be the ones coming to the confused party and wondering why they don't remember the two of them being together. A bit of a switch up, so take note!
Play the initial complications, the getting-to-know-each-other-even-though-we-know-each-other-already, or the big reveal!

[ open to crosscanon/crossmedium, as well as plotting out beforehand! ]

[ does she believe or are you her mark? let's find out. ]

( ota, but PM me if you want to do something with (one of) the very spoiler-y part(s) of Valhalla. I would be very interested! )

Yo.

[In between the muffled hustle and bustle of Redgrave City, a voice calls to Eivor from the distance. It's an unfamiliar voice but definitely male. They keep calling out to Eivor before suddenly a black-gloved hand appears right before his face. It's then that Dante lets out a frustrated sigh.]

Hey, earth to asshole! Are you listening?

[While this isn't the first time Dante has caught Eivor daydreaming but he can't help but look a bit annoyed about it. Especially since Dante was in the middle of regaling him with tales of his latest adventure. Morrison scored him a big gig a few nights ago in Fortuna, one that paid pretty damn well. Even though Dante still owes Lady plenty of money, he was able to make a decent enough profit to take care of the Devil May Cry, his little shop here in Redgrave. That's where Eivor comes in. Dante was asking him if he wanted to order some pizza when his boyfriend here started getting all quiet.]

Fine then! [He lets out a huff as he reaches for the old-fashioned black phone on the wooden desk.] No pizza for you.

(ooc | So, do you want to play around with canon with these two? I know it's a shippy meme, but we're adults who don't need no rules. So, we can play around with whatever relationship you're up for. )
