( some assorted details on the reincarnation au ) taylor’s life runs quite a few parallels to tanya’s in the modern setting — things like painting her tire swing as a kid and dying her hair red were her own ideas and were unknowingly influenced by the life before. her character was never far off, either. always outspoken, a free spirit, and when the time came for her to go off to college, she finally got the taste of freedom she’d always craved from the clarke household. when they get to l.ittle h.ope, the times seem to blend together in a way.
tabitha was a little different. opinionated and responsible, yes, but not as willful as the future girls. she was more willing to be influenced by others and hope to steer things her way as it goes, but it didn’t exactly work out for her. her future incarnates are more forceful as a result, trusting their own gut response over anyone else’s — perhaps too much.
as for vince in the present, my take would be that the first time he sees the group, he doesn’t believe what he sees, thinks he’s just had too much to drink and is starting to see things — and he pretty much continues to assume this through the night until andrew straight up crashes into him as they’re all running to the church. maybe the demons don’t appear to him because he wasn’t seen to really be involved in the cycle ? and so andrew taking a shot seemingly aimed at him only brings back all kinds of old frustrations to a new level.
now like. sole survivor au ??? andrew’s own ‘ test ’ boils down to his choice of who to condemn during the witch trials, and blaming mary gets him killed at the house ( instead of just offing everyone no matter what choice they personally made ). vince comes by her sitting by the house in the morning and with a short exchange, directs her to the diner down the road. he’s strangely more sympathetic towards her than she’s seen him acting all night with the others. she stumbles into the diner so distraught that her waitress calls for help and gives her some breakfast on the house.
her story to those who ask is that she was on a field trip when her bus crashed , and she woke up nearing dawn with everyone missing. she walked through town trying to find them, but came out with nothing and no one . . . so the police conduct a search. but there is no one left to find — as far as she knows, what was left of her friends disappeared into the fog. she goes back to school, tries to move on, but nothing will ever quite be the same.
