[pontiac]

[When Jimmy comes on screen he looks beaten up and weary from lack of rest and a lot of other neglecting-to-care-for-yourself issues he hasn't addressed thanks to thinking this place doesn't exist.

He just stares for a little while, fixated on how the screen comes up and works and all the options, studying them again and then finally sighs in exasperation.]

Okay, I give.

The longer I stay here the more I realize what people said might be true. That this isn't a dream and there is some reality to it.

I... can't explain how I remember, but I was here before I guess and even though it's not easy to pick through I can sort of get the gist of what life was like.

My name is Jimmy Novak. I live in Sigyn.

I guess now would be a good time to ask if anyone is hiring...

[The woman in the feed has cloudy eyes, but don't worry! It's just a curse, and it's not that big of a deal. And it doesn't seem to bother her as she smiles, positively beaming -- though her face isn't quite pointed at the bracelet. She's kind of guesstimating.]

Welcome back, Jimmy.

[It's said warmly.]

Can you still heal?

[Video]

[pontiac]

I'm sorry. I don't remember you.

[He tries not to stare. Not that she can see him, but he does search her face on the off chance of triggering a memory.]

Since when can I heal? I think you might be thinking of Castiel. ...He's here too.

[Video]

[marrying]

[Her brow furrows slightly at being told that he does not remember her -- and her mouth twists into a frown as he continues. If he doesn't remember, then he doesn't...

-- oh, damn. :(]

-- everyone in the city of Asgard is granted an ability by the gods. When you were last here, you were in Sigyn, and you could heal. I'm in the house of Sigyn too, so I thought maybe...

[She looks briefly flustered -- and slightly frustrated, as she can't see, and so much of how she interacts with people is in how they look and act when she says something.]

I'm sorry, I should introduce myself. I'm -- my name is Daphne, and -- Castiel doesn't have the healing ability, actually.

[She says this somewhat lamely, because following up with 'Castiel is my husband' might cause Jimmy to flip out and she doesn't want to cause that.]

Cue confusedness.

[seventeenpills]

Uh... aren't you Castiel?

[pontiac]

[Well, it was bound to happen sooner or later.]

No, he just looks like me.

[seventeenpills]

Oh. Well. That's really... interesting.

Um, anyway. My name is Hisao and I'm in Sigyn too. Sorry to confirm it, but no - this isn't a dream in any way. But there are some nice parts to it as well as the bad, so, hopefully you can make the best of it. You're in a House full of pretty caring and friendly people, so, that's something.

[Because the guy looks kind of drained ansd depressed and Hisao wants to make him feel at least a little better.]

If it is a dream, I don't think I want to wake up.

After loaning your body to an angel you have some pretty crazy dreams... but I've never had one as lasting and as elaborate as this one.

I'm starting to think that the only way this could be a dream is if I'm in a coma somewhere.

video;

[minifridge]

You aren't dreaming because I've been living here without you here. You didn't dream us all up.

[whitelighting]

You were here before? [ If it sounds rather questioning, it is. It's new ] That's-

What do you remember?

[pontiac]

Not much.

It's all ... fragmented.

[whitelighting]

Out of order kind of fragmented or piece missing kind?

[formercheerio]

Welcome back. [ There's a pause before Quinn adds more, since they'd never spoken before, and no one really wants to be here: ] I helped Mary look for you... after you'd gone.

[pontiac]

She was looking for me? [Maybe there was more there than a salad.] Why?

[formercheerio]

She's a friend? [ At least Quinn thought she was ] She sounded worried.

[video]

[whatagoodgirl]

Jimmy...

[Her heart soars, until she realizes he doesn't remember anything. Maybe it's for the best - he won't remember having his family and then losing them. That's easier, right? Thinking he never had them in the first place?]

Hello. My name is Mako Nakarai, but you can call me Nakama. [A bow.] We... were friends before you left.

[video]

[pontiac]

Nakama...

[Saying the name gives him something and he sorts through the haziness just to figure out what that something is.]

Didn't you used to make me sandwiches?

Or lunch. You made me lunches... more than once. I think.

[That's all that he remembers.]

[ ᴠıᴅᴇᴏ ]

[corona]

[ Normally she's read through what else there is before asking a potentially redudant question but— ]

Castiel?

[ Too pressing an issue for common sense to keep up. ]

You— Your eye is better. Why do you look like Castiel?

[ ᴠıᴅᴇᴏ ]

[pontiac]

It's a long story... I'm not really willing to share it right now. Sorry.

[video]

[swedge]

What do you mean when you say you remember? You mean like amnesia or something else?

[video]

[pontiac]

I guess it's kind of like amnesia. I thought it was a dream. I keep thinking that. I have memories but they're not full and some things I don't remember at all.

[sonofabitch]

[He may not be who you want to see right now, or ever, but Dean is here for you, dude.]

Depends on your skill set. Not many people 'round here need accountants.

[Doesn't mean he's gonna go easy on you, of course.]

[pontiac]

Accountant? I sell ads for the radio.

[airborn]

Jimmy!! [She couldn't bring herself to wait until after listening to what he has to say, she's so excited.]

I saved everything for you. I knew you would come back!

[Maybe that means Claire would come back, too.]

video

[pontiac]

What?

[He doesn't remember her... but she looks to be around Claire's age. If what Nakama had to say was true maybe he mentored her too. He couldn't be sure.]

What do you have for me?
