[Audrey doesn’t know how to talk about any of this but given her awareness of the problems at hand, she probably shouldn’t skimp on the details.]

I have two more. They landed in Boston, and they’re mine, for lack of better phrasing. Duke Crocker and Nathan Wuornos, both human.

[Let’s not explain the Troubles right now, they’re human in all the ways that count.]

They’re also more akin to the Salvatores than the resurrected folks. They’re from another universe.

[Is it too much to ask that you all not dig too much into how she knows that? Because she’s trying to get herself to Boston as quickly as possible and does not have time to explain the past thirty years she’s been pretending to be other people just yet.]

They're yours?

[opencases]

I wouldn't have had a lock on more than one pair of children from another universe, not that anything surprises me, anymore.

[redeems]

It's more common than you think. Wait until the children you have here end up in another universe and come back.

[dfa]

They always come in three's, so keep a lookout.

[woodenbullets]

Former sheriff here, Matt Donovan. One of the returned. We're still waiting on DNA results for the Gilberts. But, it's likely they are who they are.

So far, they're laying low and getting drunk upstairs.

[opencases]

Matt.

[woodenbullets]

They don't know we know. They're in a safe environment.

Sorry Sheriff Forbes.

[opencases]

Not a sheriff anymore, Matt, and I would also be getting drunk if I ended up in an alternate universe with parents who hadn't had me.

Try not oversharing the information. Stick to what's relevant. You're waiting on the DNA test.

8/9

[phonetically]

Yeah. Muting this. Please mention me if you need me.

Also, I will update my chart tomorrow when half us aren't at a CHRISTMAS PARTY.

DONE surprise. less so, because I commented wrong lmao

[blingod]

Who knew I'd be longing for the days of killer mascots and fat spa murders. Hope your alternate children aren't all gooey.

At least they're not turning zombie on us. Been there, done that.

[patrols]

Also bonus points for being corporeal, because that sure was a thing in Sunnydale that caused a whole lot of problems.

[pastlives]

[Oh ... oh no. Audrey doesn't look at her phone again until she's in her uber and oops.]

Sorry. I was typing fast trying to get to the airport and didn't fully think it through.

They're not children. And they're not MY children. They're full grown adult men. I was just using it as a point of comparison because they're definitely from another timeline.

I'll hopefully have more information once I get to Boston in an hour or so, right now I'm just trying to make my plane.

[opencases]

Focus on making your plane.

When you get the chance, do you know anything about the two new players?

[blingod]

Donna Hanscum, Sheriff of Stillwater, Minnesota. Nice to meet everyone.

@ lindsay Are you saying people in Sunnydale returned but couldn't be touched? Like a Ghost situation except everyone could see them and nobody needed Oda Mae Brown?

( hopefully, nobody named Molly was in danger. )

@ donna

No, so there's this thing called the First. It doesn't have a corporeal form, but it will take on the appearance of any dead person to fuck with you. No one actually came back, it was just an evil thing doing evil shit.

[pastlives]

They're friends of mine. We used to work together a long time ago. Nathan used to be the sheriff of Haven, Maine.

[There's a long pause because how do you explain Duke Crocker?]

Duke owned the local bar.

[Yeah, let's not call him a criminal to a chat full of cops.]

[extrasauce]

[....Unfortunately for Audrey, Jody's spidey senses are tinging.]

No offense, but I've never heard of Haven, Maine. And to cover my bases I googled it, and it says there's no such place.

And I know you said they were from another timeline, but you haven't even gotten there yet, and you said you used to work with them?

[pastlives]

[ ...

It's a very long story.

1/?

[redeems]

For the record, the returned aren't evil things doing evil shit.

[sobrietytest]

Simple explanation. You worked with this Duke Crocker and Nathan Wuornos in this timeline.

( someone can research the police blotter. )

private to stiles | DONE

[pastlives]

Sorry, didn't mean to interrupt your party.

[phonetically]

You didn't. You sent an update. Everyone and their sheriff mother decided to chime in. Also my dad, who's now in a group text with me. Still processing and censoring that.

You need to talk?

[pastlives]

Probably will but I think I need to get there first and actually see the damage. Plus you're at your party.

Let me get them out of the Aquarium and get them settled and if it's not too late I'll give you a call.
