[ dutch doesn't remember a funeral. she doesn't remember seeing alvis' body. none of that's happened for her despite the strange dreams in stasis, the things she remembers that cannot possibly just be dreams. ]
we can start toasting to everyone who's awake, too wouldn't want our sessions to get boring
same time a whole bunch of people woke up. seems like that comes in circles
[ dutch hasn't gone into the green yet. she hasn't confronted aneela yet. she's still thinking things will go according to plan. that she'll kill aneela and die. ]
Or I was. It feels like my hard drive's glitching.
[ He remembered the station now, obviously, but he hadn't then — maybe because there hadn't been a station to remember yet. Clara's memories had been set to pause for a while, too. ]
[ the hard drive glitching, weeks, all of it. she needs johnny to make sense of these experiences; if he can find an explanation why this is happening, at least she's not going crazy.
their world is gone. but if they both remember — ]
woke up just before the final battle, too, which has got to be the universe laughing at me
[ "Same for me" is a relief. Then she keeps going.
If they were talking face-to-face, she'd know he was full of shit. Text makes it easier to put his confusion on the back burner — he doesn't want to lie, exactly, but he needs to at least figure out the right way to tell her what she's missed. ]
Yeah, well it's a shitty joke. Does Alvis remember the same things you do?
i'm gonna ask what the last thing he remembers is and then yeah i guess we share preferably over a bottle of whiskey
[ dutch knows what it's like to have pieces of your story missing. alvis might not know that he's missing any, but she still won't keep that from him. ]

we were both in stasis again weren't we
thumbs up
(Or not, because she'd still be in the green — or had been). ]
Yeah.
[ What's the right approach, here. Asking outright?? Nah. ]
Have a good nap?

[ Dubious. Unless they're on polar opposite pages, but there's one good way to find out— ]
I guess you could call our touching reunion sweet.

no subject

no subject
and then yeah
i guess we share

no subject
Right. Then I think I owe you a bottle of whiskey.
[ It's going to come out eventually, and he's tried keeping secrets from Dutch. It doesn't work. ]
no subject
[ what are you implying, johnny jaqobis ]
no subject
[ He needs to work his way up to the big event. Assuming you can call 'telling someone they died' a big event. ]
Are you at the bar?
[ He means at work, but either way it's a fair guess. ]
no subject
[ but when has dutch ever left something well enough alone? ]
are you saying you remember more than i do?
