[ Curtis's brows are arched as he looks around him, his muscles physically tense and the worry hardly strained from his voice. The last thing he remembered-- ]

Nikki?! Alisha? Where are... [ He'd rewound time, hadn't he? He'd saved them. He'd saved everyone. Why weren't they back at the community center? Or why wasn't he in his room. It didn't make sense; this was unfamiliar, new, foreign. He always went back and knew what was happening, knew what to stop. How to change the future. ]

Nathan, you prick, if this is some fucked up joke...

[ But it isn't, and he knows it. Nathan isn't this clever. None of them are, to put him in some place he didn't recognize and... he pushes the thoughts aside, running a hand down his face and looking to the device that's been recording him. ]

Hello? Can anyone hear me? I need to know what's going on.

[awkwards]

Yes! [ because it's true, isn't it? but she doesn't even know herself because future!simon kind of sucks at articulating rather than using his stupid eyes to confirm questions. ]

Jesus - forget - We're all fucking okay down the line, yeah? You're all weird and locking yourself in storage rooms and Kelly's fancying Seth and no dead probation workers. Sounds better than what we had last time.

[mrbackwards]

[ He doesn't get.. any of that, but okay. He sounds calmer. ]

You promise?

action;

[awkwards]

[ she rolls her eyes. ] Yes. Want to pinky promise it, too? [ she might be making fun of you, just a bit. ]

action;

[mrbackwards]

[ He glares because yeah, that sounded corny as fuck, but he seems to believe her. The promise comforted him, mmkay? :| ]

Fuck off.

action;

[awkwards]

[ she glares at him. ] You're such a prick sometimes.

[ and she starts walking. she knows he'll catch up to her in, like, three steps, all the while it'll have taken her ten. ]

action;

[mrbackwards]

You started it. [ This is said VERY maturely. As he maturely paces to catch up with her.

And walks a little ahead because he's not a prick. ]

action;

[awkwards]

[ EYE ROLL. ]

You know, now I wonder why I missed you while I was here. You're so annoying.

action;

[mrbackwards]

[ SCOFFING. ]

I wonder why I wanted you to come and get me. Can't even give me straight answers.

action;

[awkwards]

Would you prefer Nathan? Wanker gives you no answers.

action;

[mrbackwards]

Maybe I would.

[ Alright. He's totally just being a prick now. ]

action;

[awkwards]

Well, you just stay here and I'll go get him, yeah?

[ now she's grumpy. :| this is the last time she does anything for anyone! ]

action;

[mrbackwards]

You will, will you?

[ Cue him, stopping walking in front of her. ]

action;

[awkwards]

[ she stops. ]

You want him, right? Wouldn't want you to not be comfortable during your first week in The City.

action;

[mrbackwards]

Bet he'd be more helpful than you.

action;

[awkwards]

[ she rolls her eyes and starts walking. ]

Yeah, as in, not give you any of the information you need. Don't see him coming to fetch you, do I?

action;

[mrbackwards]

What information are you giving me that's any more useful? [ Whateverrrr. He walks beside her. ]

The little prick would if I asked him to.

[ Which he wouldn't. :| ]

action;

[awkwards]

Cursed city. You can go home. You can live with me but I really think I'm just going to let you go live with Nathan instead.

[ she gives a shrug, still walking, trying to walk in front of him because he's a massively tall prick. ]

How to get to the flats. He'd just leave breadcrumbs for you to follow.

action;

[mrbackwards]

Live on the street before I live with 'im.

[ Picking up his pace a little. Just to be a massively massive prick. ]

Already offered to show me his flat. I said no.

action;

[awkwards]

You should say yes. You like him more than me, yeah?

[ oh, wow, is alisha butthurt? i think so. ]

action;

[mrbackwards]

I ain't never said that.

[ There are some things Curtis's pride won't let him agree to. ]

action;

[awkwards]

You don't need to. It's kind of obvious.

[ alisha is just going to sulk. ]

Let Nathan give you the guide, too. He's probably written up his own version of it by now.

action;

[mrbackwards]

Fuck off, Alisha.

[ Clearly this is just the best response to everything. ]

action;

[awkwards]

[ clearly. 8| she flips the bird and continues walking. she grabs her device, since she put it in her pocket or something, and starts pressing numbers. she's going to call his bff! ]

action;

[mrbackwards]

[ Time for him to run in front of her! Just to smack the device out her hand, yo. :| ]

action; LMAO.

[awkwards]

Hey! [ there goes her device. :( she mad now, bro. what are you, seven? ] What the fuck was that for?
