Closed: In another life, I would be your girl.

[11calls]

Who: Alex Reagan and Richard Strand.
When: Early on in the AU plot.
What: The same two people who go to bed aren't the same two people who wake up in the morning.
Where: Dome 300 (their dome)
Warnings: No idea yet.
Notes: Closed log.


They’re sleeping, the way they always do with both of them curled up in the sunken bed that dominates the bedroom floor of the dome that they’d been sharing for over a year now, barring the nights when she’d been kidnapped. But it’s not the same two of them that went to bed as it is when they wake up. Not by a long shot. When Alex wakes, it’s not to the sun shining in her windows. Before everything happened with the show, Alex did sleep quite late and needed to set several alarms so she could make work on time.

Right now the only alarm that she’s had is that her face is pressed against someone’s bare chest. Not an entirely unheard of thing happening but it’s not something that she remembers from last night where she had just come home from work alone and had gone to bed alone. Definitely gone to sleep alone and not wherever the fuck this happened to be that was definitely not her sunny bedroom in Seattle!

Attempting to throw herself backwards off the bed, the dim light from the Sphere catches her eye, and the wall around the bed catches her back and Alex can’t help but to let out a scream at both. It’s a true scream and not a sound that Alex actually makes very often, but it’s very her nonetheless. More than that, it's very loud in the small and enclosed space of the bed that the two of them were currently in.

Well, he's certainly going to feel like an idiot in a few days or so, isn't he? Alex however just rolls her eyes again and grabs a sweater from the back of a chair and puts it on, feeling a bit more like herself. But then she remembers something and starts scouring the room.

Richard can't help the frustrated sigh as he watches her. It's always something with this girl. Not the least bit organized or logical. It's simply annoying. "What are you looking for now?"

"My recorder!" Alex says it like he should know what it is, but that's because she's assuming that the Strand she knows would know it. "If they faked all this stuff then they'd definitely should have known to stick it in here somewhere. Knowing me, if I got kidnapped, I'd definitely would have like recorded it!"

And there goes the eye roll once again. They're trapped in an awful situation and need to find a way out, yet she has to find a damned recorder. It's like him trying to find a particular book that he just has to have. Completely unneeded and useless. "You don't need a damned recorder."

"How do you know what I need and what I don't?" Alex huffs at him quickly, and she keeps looking. "If this Warren guy captured me, then maybe this might have some clues to where the hell we are. Which you would think we would need if this is all some sort of weird ass set up!"

If this recorder of hers is going to have anything on it then there has to be a reason. It could be that she carries it everywhere. It's more likely that Warren would have created a false recording on it. "You mean to tell me that you probably recorded it?" Honestly though, who does that?

“I might have. I record things all the time. It’s my job!” Alex is just going to protest things. Loudly. “Your instinct might be to reach for a book when there’s something going on. Mine is to reach for my recorder. And if they have shoes and photos and everything they should have that!”

"Fine." Sighing heavily, he moves to open the door. He doesn't want to be stuck with this girl anymore than he has to be.

Alex just gives up where she’s picking up a pillow on the sofa. There’s more evidence of them actually living there underneath it but she just frowns. “Hey. Wait up.” The last thing she wants to be is trapped in here by herself.
