Sunday Evening - Fifth Floor Common Room

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

Peter was sitting on the couch with a bowl of popcorn in front of him and a box of cookies from J. GOB.  He'd found some Coca-Cola (and still couldn't get over the fact it came in cans now) and was flipping through the channels on the TV.

Oooh, war movie.  That looked interesting.  The planes looked familiar too.  Peter sat forward in his seat as the title rolled.  Rescuing Corproral Smith?  Did they make movies about World War II now?


OOC: open for all of course but especially saltandammo

"Hey Dean," Peter said, still entranced by the movie. "Have some popcorn. It's a movie. About The War. I kinda love TV."

Dean grinned. "One of man's greatest inventions," he opined, coming over and dropping onto the couch beside Peter.

"Definitely better than sliced bread," Peter remarked as more bombs dropped. "What have you been doing today?"

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Taking care of long overdue family chores." He reached for some popcorn. "Gave my brother a haircut before he turned into cousin It." Dean pause. "Err... that's basically a walking pile of hair."

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

"Little brother, I take it?"

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Yeah. Sammy. I'll have to introduce you sometime. Up until we came here, he was my main sparring partner."

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

"Then you came here together? Pretty much all the other sibling pairs I've heard of since coming here met here." Peter chewed a bite of chocolate chip cookie thoughtfully. "And wow, I never would have asked that question before Tuesday."

"Tell me about it. his place has whole new levels of weird," Dean said, thinking what it would be like to come here alone and meet a Sammy that wasn't quite his Sammy. He thought it would've probably made his brain explode. "Yeah, Sam and I came here together."

"Lucky you," said Peter wryly. "You know the counselor at the clinic? She's my sister. Except my sister is supposed to be at home and a year younger than me."

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

Dean blinked. "That's... whacked, dude."

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

"Bloody right. She apparently grew up in England and became a doctor there, but she remembers the same things I remember about, well, home, the place I've spent the past four years." Peter glanced at Dean to see if he was following. "Something horrible happened to her between the time she last remembers seeing me and now. And she won't tell me what it was."

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Huh. That's rough." He glanced at Peter. "Was she happy to see you?"

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

"After she stopped crying, she seemed to be. So I guess I didn't do anything horrible before disappearing." Peter was watching the explosions without expression.

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

Dean gave him a sharp look. "She said you'd disappeared?"

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

"She wouldn't say anything. Just that I went somewhere she didn't want to go because she was angry." Peter shrugged, "so disappeared may be overstating it."

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Well at least it sounds like you didn't, like, die, or something. That's something."

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

"I like the way you think," Peter grinned. "On the other hand, she was somehow in England when we were ought to have been at home."

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

Dean frowned. "I thought you were from England."

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

"Originally. But we managed to stumble into another world after leaving London. That's home now."

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Maybe not to her?" Dean suggested tentatively.

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

"I don't...think so. She remembers the same things I remember from there. She knows who she is."

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"No, I meant... maybe she still thinks -- thought -- thinks of London as home. Regardless."

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

"Perhaps...the Su I knew certainly thought of Narnia as home."

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

Dean shrugged. "You know her better than I do obviously."

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

Peter considered. "I think I'm just going to have to get more information about the situation from her. She'll have to answer if I ask straight out." He looked over at Dean and grinned, "hey, my thanks for not kicking my ass for starting to talk about my sister. And for helping with it."
