Support Group - March 2021
Who: OPEN (Including to all the new characters who app throughout the month)
What: Bureau Run, Non-Mandatory Support Group
When: There are meetings at various times during the week, whatever works for your character between 8 am and 10 pm
Where: There are meetings at various locations around NYC, whatever works for your character
Rating/Warnings: We ask that players put appropriate warning labels in the subject lines of their threads as they become necessary
There’s a generic spread of food on a table off to one side of the room: donuts, muffins, bagels, and cookies; coffee, lemonade, water, and because one of the Different asked for it, hot chocolate. Maybe you’re hungry enough to try it—it’s free after all.
Or maybe you can’t stomach anything, given the event you’re attending.
The space is a local rec center. The beige-painted cinder block walls and the fluorescent lighting are a terrible combination. Maybe they are reminiscent of the public school you attended in your youth?
Why are you here? Curiosity? Maybe the Bureau official will say something that will help you make sense of things? The meeting was interesting—who knew there were so many people like you, receiving memories of a past life? The group was led by someone from The Bureau—the Department of Medical Services. Some people are staying in their chairs and chatting—they must know each other from previous meetings. Some of them are gravitating towards the food.
How do you feel about tonight? Has it helped you come to terms with the dream of memories you’re having? Maybe it’s time to talk to others, get an understanding of their experience.

"Oh god, no, I'm sorry. All my fault. I was peeking."

Harleen will see that the notebook is full of shorthand, Teeline, if she knows about it. Jim learned it pretty early on, when he realised that a whole lot of his lecturers spoke about more than was just on the slide they were presenting; but they often spoke far too fast for him to write it down in normal English.
"I, ah, my name's Jim," he says, giving her a smile.
no subject
"I'm Harleen. What are you writing?"
no subject
"Notes on the meeting, it's in Shorthand that the media uses, but I've kinda co-opted it," he smiles.
"Makes it much easier to get down the words, I can sort them and make them presentable later, you know?"

Then she laughs a little. "Jeez, it feels like I'm back in college looking for a study buddy."
no subject
"If only some of my undergrads actually took the time to find study buddies, sometimes I feel like I should pair them up with raffle tickets and then just watch the chaos."
no subject
"I will actually pay you to do that."
no subject
"I'll say it's practice for the industry."
