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.

He's only known Mr. Kirk for a few months, really, but there had been an immediate sense of connection. They thought alike. Spoke alike. They had similar interests. And if he's honest with himself, Shiro knows that he had been desperately looking for someone to give him validation and direction. He doesn't want to lose that friendship. It's something balanced delicately between student/role model and friends resuming a relationship like it had been hours and not years since they'd last seen one another. That's what it felt like, anyway. Would this difference thing cause them to drift apart? What's happening here?
Jim's question startles him out of his thoughts. "I think it depends," he says quietly. "Are the bigwigs legitimately helping? Are they targeting us to receive memories? Or are they suppressing memories we used to have?"
no subject
He doesn't think they're evil or anything, but there's definitely a sense of even though the Different are directly affected by all of this that they're still being kept on a bare-bones, need to know basis.
"I don't know," he sighs, and then sits back, "But what I do know is that honestly, I could go for a coffee that isn't this stuff. You wanna go grab some?"
no subject
He stands and offers Professor Kirk a hand up. "Where were you thinking?"
no subject
"There's a Starbuck's round the corner if you want, but honestly I'm thinking something a bit less busy. You know Joe's?" It was a bit eclectic, and kinda ticked away, but he thinks the owner probably likes it more like that.
no subject
"Not off the top of my head, but I'm definitely open to finding another coffee place in town. Starbucks is good for speed, usually, but that's not always what I'm looking for."

Jim grabs his Pea coat from where it's been tossed over the back of the chair and picks up his leather satchel. He really does look all the bit a professor.
