29 Chimera Court, Saturday Morning

[firstofitskind]

The first thing Liam noticed was the sound of the ocean. His apartment was nowhere near the ocean.

The second thing he noticed was that this was not his apartment.

"What in the goddamn hell is going on?" he muttered, looking around the room. There was a global lying on the table by the bed, so he picked it up and slid it open. None of the contacts looked familiar. Great. Maybe the wallet would yield better results?

... Or more confusing ones. The name on the photo ID was his, sure enough. But the picture? That was the impostor. The Major.

"And here I thought I was finally getting back to having a normal life," he muttered as he found something to wear (he figured if he'd let The Major borrow his name while he'd been undergound, the kid wouldn't mind if he borrowed some clothes this one time) and then left to try and get his bearings about wherever the hell he was.

[ooc: open, if some housemate-type-people happen to be around!]

"Hey, thief guy," Magnus shouted. "I got Starbucks!"

Because he was a nice housemate. He also got some tea latte for Nathan if he was around.

[firstofitskind]

Okay, there was someone shouting something about coffee. To a 'thief guy'? Liam wondered if he meant the Major. If so, this might be... difficult to explain. They really looked nothing alike. ... Okay they were both blond white dudes but their faces were totally not the same face at all.

"Uh, hello?" he said, as he saw who he presumed was the owner of that voice.

[magnusrushesin]

"Hi." Magnus squinted at him. "Is that a new shirt?"

MAGNUS, C'MON.

[firstofitskind]

Well, it was new to Liam? This Liam. Who was not the same one who'd been living in this house for a month.

"No." A beat. "You said something about coffee?" he asked warily.

[magnusrushesin]

Yeah, this was... basically on par for his perception checks sometimes. Also, remembering all the NPCs was really hard, okay?

"Yeah, Taako hadn't opened up shop, so I guess you can have it."

It was a frappacino. Enjoy the brainfreeze, guy he literally could not tell apart from his housemate. He might not even remember your name beyond 'thief guy' too. It was sort of a thing.

[firstofitskind]

"Thanks. Now who the hell are you and what is this place?"

[magnusrushesin]

"Rude," Magnus chided. "This is Nathan's house. You apparently live here, but I think it might be a squatting situation and Nathan's too nice to kick you out."

He was possibly missing the point on purpose.

[firstofitskind]

"What do you mean 'I live here'? I've never seen this place before," Liam countered. "Do... you mean the Major?" Which would be weird, because last he'd heard the kid was supposed to be dead.

But then, he'd been 'dead' back when the Major took over his identity in the first place, so. Maybe stones shouldn't be thrown there.

[magnusrushesin]

Was this a plot hook? It sounded like a plot hook.

"I dunno," he said, shrugging. Then gasped like this was the coolest thing ever. "Did you get amnesia? Was the--" Whatever he said after that just went to static.

[firstofitskind]

"No," Liam shook his head, and then took a sip of the frappucino, because free coffee. "But I'm gonna need some answers."

[magnusrushesin]

"Alright then." Magnus politely sipped his coffee back, waiting on some questions.

Because he was such a little shit.

[firstofitskind]

Liam sighed.

"So this is 'Nathan's place' but I still don't know who you are."

[magnusrushesin]

"Magnus, Magnus Burnsides. I'm a teacher up at the school. Fighter. Sometimes a rogue."

He'd say his levels in those, but that'd be too meta.

[firstofitskind]

Well, now he had another question.

"What school?"

[magnusrushesin]

"The one over there," Magnus said, pointing in the direction of the school. That you could not see from here. "F--Fandom. Yep, Fandom."

Look at him remembering details!
