[Some people might be glad to find out that they're no longer fictional. Some might maturely go about the sudden news with dignity and caution. Others might dive into the opportunity to learn about the "real world" as much as they can, quickly coming to terms with their new lives. Surely, a few have taken the most rational routes possible or even found humor in their new whereabouts.

Alisha is in none of those categories.]

Someone needs to tell me wot the fuck is going on right now.

[Does she believe anything the hospital staff told her? No. Not in the least. Actually, she's of the opinion that some storm-empowered jerk is running around, using his power to change everything up, some way, somehow. At any rate, there has to be someone in this God-forsaken place that knows what's truly going on; without any way of knowing where to even begin looking for a person, she turns to mass video.]

At the very least, please tell me someone else out there doesn't believe all that hospital doctor bullshit.

Ohh my God! Holy fuckin' Christ! Alisha! Words cannot say how bloody happy I am to see you. You have no idea how weird it's been - no fuckin'clue.

Really, I'm just happy to see a familiar face.

[easy_a]

Uh, how familiar can my face even be?

[Seeing as far as she knows, they spent one evening together and that was it.

Welp, better to have someone from a one-night stand whom she vaguely knows than no one at all.]

Also not exactly wot I meant by "tell me wot's going on," but it's a start.

[geminated_man]

What do you mean, love? You don't remember the fun times in the community centre? You, me, Curtis, Simon, and Kelly? I mean, I can understand things bein' a little fuzzy after... You know, the whole thing with the...

Well anway, it's great t'see you. We should grab a pint! Reminisce about old times and that, yeah?

[easy_a]

Since when were you ever in the community centre? Have you been stalking and wanking over me?

[It's one thing to know that she's had community service; it's another to know the names of most everyone else who does too.]

And we'd only have one time to "reminisce" about; don't think that really calls for a pint, now does it?

[geminated_man]

You were there with me! Don't you remember? Psycho cunt tryin' t'hang us in the locker room? Buryin' probation workers in the woods?

Ohhh... I get it. You're windin' me up. You-you, little lady, are a very funny girl. But seriously, this isn't funny anymore. Just stop it, would ya?

[easy_a]

Uh, I can't stop anything I haven't even started. I honestly don't know wot you're going on about.

[It doesn't sit well with her that he knows about "dead probation workers", though at least it doesn't seem like he knows where Tony and Sally are "buried".]

[geminated_man]

You...

You don't remember?

Honestly? You're not fuckin' with me?

[easy_a]

No, I'm not fucking with you. Haven't fucked with you since that one night after the party.

[Finally some leeway.]

1/?

[geminated_man]

But... it's not...

But why would you...?

[geminated_man]

That... That fuckin'... Jesus, Alisha...

I guess it was just three

[geminated_man]

Well. I guess that sort of explains why you're not exactly thrilled t'see me, yeah?

Fuck.

Three's a lucky number

[easy_a]

Glad that you finally get it.

Not that it makes everything you've said make any more sense.

[She's still unnerved that he knows the others on service and about probation worker murder, but she's doing her best not to let it show.]

[geminated_man]

Fuckin' hell, Alisha.

Guess not a whole lot's changed from that day then.

D'you enjoy that? Fuckin' with blokes like that?

[easy_a]

It's not exactly your fucking business, but if you must know, I did at the time.

[Did. Past tense. Meaning that it's not the same anymore.]

Happy now?

[geminated_man]

No-no. It is my fuckin' business cos I thought we were fucking friends.

Jesus Christ, no I'm not fuckin' happy.

No. No. You know what? I'm done here. Fuckin' done with all of it. Just piss off, would ya? Just fuck the fuck off.

oh no it's a flood.

[geminated_man]

I can't fuckin' deal with this bullshit again. And I really don't wanna get him star-

[geminated_man]

Ohh fuck. Jesus.

Someday I'll figure out a way to differentiate between them.

[geminated_man]

Alisha... You really.. You really don't remember?

I mean... I thought we were friends... It's- it's not that...

Fuck it's like we're back to bloody square one. I mean.. I thought we'd gotten over it, yeah? Over you but...

I-I.. I don't know. It just.. like... It really fuckin' hurts, yeah?

Until then, I'll be a big girl and use my context clues :>

[easy_a]

Okay, I still don't know wot you're going on about. But you need some serious help.

Probably sooner than later, yeah?

[geminated_man]

Is that all you've got to say? I mean, for Christ's sake... You... We...

Alisha, I loved you. I mean...

[geminated_man]

Ohhh no. We're not doin' this shit again. Look, don't you have somewhere else to be? Anywhere else?

What happened to fuckin' off and makin' biscuits with that bird with the massive tits?

[geminated_man]

We're doin' it this weekend.

Look, man, she needs to know about this, all right? What it did to us.

[geminated_man]

No, no. She doesn't. Because that's fucked up. You're fucked up, you little creep. Seriously. Just go... do somethin' else. I don't really care. I can't deal with all this right now.

It's pissin' me right off.

[reanimated]

Would you care to explain to me why this one doesn't remember you but Barry did? NOT THAT I'M COMPLAINING in fact, for one moment let me just enjoy the ability to laugh in your face. Ha fucking HA, mate.

[geminated_man]

How the fuck should I know?

I'm sure that there is a perfectly rational, normal explanation for all this.
