it's been a long time since maeve has had to do geometry, but she's pulled over with some intrigue about the specific word this stranger is referring to. " this afternoon? " maeve can't help but let herself snort. " shit. i hope you've crammed. it's two words actually, but i get it. this stuff all looks like a blur, doesn't it? it's perpendicular bisector. basically means going through the midpoint of the segment to create two equal segments. " she winces, nose crinkling. " sorry if that sounded a bit show off-y. used to cheat papers for people all the time. won't do that for you though but i will take another coffee. "

lara feels like she's getting used to seeing this frazzled look on people nowadays. but she doesn't want to assume she knows what's happening to this stranger either. anyone who hasn't woken up with these vivid realistic dreams are also dealing with normal problems in their every day life. but still— lara is no stranger to strange and this look is uncanny. she's walking by with a stack of her own library books, deep in her own investigations but she stops anyway. " need a hand, pet? " she offers politely then looks at how the other has specifically stacked her books. " what's all this? " she asks after.

[cloudxbusting]

if gamora seems nervous then it doesn't show on her face, but then she's always had a strong poker face. however it's very easy to look unimpressed by his bragging. " i see. so now you've come over to get to know me? you're like the welcome committee? " deep down, she's affected by him. talking to him is stirring around all these mixed emotions in her and she doesn't know how to make sense of any of them.

but he really doesn't seem to know who she is or if they shared a past life together. if that's even what it is. it's feels like it's her life though and one day she woke up as the wrong person. she's not sure how it works... which is why she can't just... tell him? he'd think she was crazy. should she just stay here and enjoy his company? and get to know him? at least she can stay around for the gin and tonic. that's harmless?

his compliment makes her half smile. it's not her fault! he probably thinks he's gotten through to her, but his flirting feels familiar. and well— he's attractive! " uh huh. nice recovery. " she acknowledges with an eye roll. when her drink arrives, she decides to stay. " i actually prefer the will they won't they trope. "

" but i also like when harry met sally. " she stirs the straw around her glass. " i like a woman who knows how to give a man a hard time. " if these are his playboy days, he won't stay. this is his warning. " so if you're looking for easy... " she shakes her head and smiles as she sips through her straw. " otherwise... i'm gamora. "

this woman is different from the others he’s been with. she’s got a bite to her, this wicked sense of humour. he can see her as someone who can keep up with him, maybe even challenge him— well, not that it matters, it’s not like he’s looking for a relationship or anything like that. though the idea of being with her doesn't seem too bad. it seems appealing almost.

“oh, it's a small town. i know every woman in and out of the bar.” peter points behind her (a not so subtle attempt to show off his bicep) to another woman across the bar. “that’s annie. i know her because her sister’s husband’s ex-wife’s daughter is in a class i teach.” and right on cue, the bartender arrives, "hey, kev—" peter winks to the woman before placing her order, “can we get some gin and tonic for the lady?” 

he taps on the wooden bar. “see? i know everyone.” but there lies the question of why the woman is overly familiar with him. for a second, peter consider backing off; if it’s true that this woman was one of his one night stands, he needs to step back (they’re called one night stands for a reason). but if she's not one of them, he'll miss a shot being with her.

yet the anticipation is killing him, to the point he's thinking of giving up... or is this her own way of flirting? huh. maybe it is. “i think i’d remember someone as beautiful as you,” peter drawls. "unless... did we meet when we were younger? they make movies about that you know, two childhood friends who reconnect when they're adults."

[cloudxbusting]

deep down gamora knows she is currently looking at her peter quill on stage. the resemblence is different but this is how she felt when she woke up and remembered another life. similar in fragments, completely different from her life on ivy cove. it's how she's looking at peter. he looks anew and yet familiar— but then she must look different too. for starters, she's not green.

gamora jolts back to reality as people applaud. this is too surreal and gamora can't stay. it feels like she has to throw up. she needs to leave. no, she needs to do a shot at the bar… and then leave. as she waits at the bar to get one of the employee's attention he slides up next to her. so... he feels it too?

then peter is talking to her like a total stranger. not just that, he's hitting on her. it makes her scoff. " i'm not. " she says. " does that mean you know every woman in this bar? " she asks him sarcastically. it takes her a second to answer him because… quite frankly, she's still stunned. " yeah. gin and tonic. "

so this is what peter would have looked like if he stayed on earth. she knows he's an earthling but space always suited him. apparently, it suited her too. gamora always grew up with a love and fascination with outer space but she never would have understood this was why. is this peter just goofing off or does he really have no memory or connection to her either. she glares at him for a better reading. " you don't remember me, do you? "

peter is feeling good, better than good. there's nothing more euphoric than riding the high of a successful performance. people are heaping him praises, people are sending him the eyes (yes, those eyes), and—the best part about this?—people are giving him free booze.

the alcohol burns as it travels down his throat, but the buzz it brings quickly chases away the discomfort. when he sets down his glass, his eyes land upon one of the most beautiful woman he's seen. scratch that, the most beautiful woman he'll ever see. beautiful brown eyes, beautiful curly hair, beautiful banging body. but there's something more to his attraction, like he's just naturally drawn to her. there's something about her...

is this why he's walking towards her?

"hi," he starts, wearing his winning smile. god, she's more beautiful up close. (and oh, he definitely wants to get closer.) "i haven't seen you around, you new?" peter beckons for the bartender. as they wait, he inches closer to the woman... as close as he can get without breaching too much of her personal space. "can i get you anything? it's on me."

as much as lara would love to pretend to live the rest of her life in ivy cove in complete ignorance— she can't. it's just not the croft way. crofts like to find answers and lara has been determined to do that as she wakes up to a new memory almost every day. and they must be because they're too detailed and real to be just dreams. before she heads over to the library she makes a pit stop at the coffee shops, orders a latte with two espresso shots and looks around for somewhere to sit. she looks for someone approachable and smiles awkwardly when she's been caught hovering for too long. " don't be sorry. what book are you reading that's so good— by the way, mind if i sit? "

May enjoyed her life in Ivy, she remembered her life back in Queens. she enjoyed the laid back lifestyle she had gotten to live, that was until the mayor was found, those thoughts had filled her head way too often, so she had decided to go to a coffee shop. may cleared her throat as she waited for her drink, she had grabbed her order and looked around for the place for her to sit, she found the last empty table and had grabbed it, she relaxed and pulled out a book to enjoy while she was there. she was brought out of her book when she heard someone, she looked up at who it was with a small smile "sorry, was too into my book, what did you say?" @ivycovestarters

[cloudxbusting]

as soon as maeve gets through the front door, the smell of fresh baked goods fills her nostrils and suddenly all the stress she woke up with starts to lift. but still, she's running late. " you can. " she agrees eagerly. " i'm running around on gopher duty today so i have a bit of a tall order. " she pauses to rummage through her bag and grab her notepad. it takes her a while because she's a bit of a pack rat and has so much shit in her purse. " teacher's demands. they get cranky without their coffee, donuts and bagels. hell. i'm cranky too. " finally she grabs the pad and hands it to the clerk and decides to make small talk. " how are you— you must be up early to make all this stuff? "

“hello, welcome to mellark's bakery, can i help with anything today?” peeta asked, as he looked up as the bell to his shop rang. it was still early, having only opened his doors barely an hour ago. “if you’re looking for some cupcakes, i just finished decorating these.” he gestured to the cakes he had just finished arranging on the counter. “or if you want bread, i have a fresh batch of loaves in the oven. though, they won’t be ready for another ten minutes or so.” the person could leave and return and peeta would save them a loaf, or they could wait either in here or on the tables outside – peeta didn’t mind. @ivycovestarters

by day she's a waitress hustling and bustling and when the sun goes down she's getting her hand on whatever microphone she can find but works every saturday evening as a lounge singer

daisy still has a secret drug problem and still lives life pretty erratically. she loves to party and she hates boredom

life in ivy cove has been uneventful compared to her life in the canon survivor timeline games. although she still grew up in a wealthy, renowned family her father's death has always been a mystery

now that she's regained some of her memories she wonders if her father died under the same circumstances and if her current stepmother can be trusted

lara is still engrossed in the subject of archeology. she has traveled the world as much as she can but not to the extent she's ever dreamed of. now she's desperate to learn what's happening in ivy cove

much of her life and upbringing in the real life is the same as her fake life. she still had a revenge obsessed father raising her to be an assassins since the age of five to take down the man that framed him for his arrest

since her father's death, mindy successfully avenged him and still takes on her father's mantle as a masked hero

because so much of her upbringing revolved around her superhero persona, mindy feels more like a secret identity

memories

not much is different in leela's fake life... apart from the fact that she's not a one eyed mutant, she's not from the year 3000, and she's not a space captain who's traveled to different planets

leela still grew up in foster care because her parents had her when they were still teenagers. unable to take care of her properly, she grew up an orphan

despite the fact that she has two eyes, she's always been a bit of an outcast. leela struggles fitting in, but cares deeply for the people who are close to her

gamora is a bit of a brooding recluse. she prefers living by herself peacefully surrounded by nature

she's grappling with the truth of her real life. on one hand she's enjoyed living in ignorant bliss of her fake life but in her real life she's found a family... and she has to admit... this life has been incredibly lonely

her canon is taken from before the events of infinity war
