[So this is unexpected. Tina had been going through the door to the bathroom in the restaurant, when suddenly she wasn't there and was somewhere else entirely. And even more strangely, there's the nagging feeling at the back of her mind that something like this has happened to her before.

Thankfully the smartphone in her hands has something of an explanation, and so she heads there to claim her bedroom, though she can't stop herself from looking at EVERYTHING, and she's visibly nervous.]

Uhm, hi, hello... don't mind me, just, ah, going to find my bedroom... By the way, if anyone sees a boy in a burger costume or a girl with a pink bunny ears hat, or a woman with red glasses, or a balding guy with a mustache, let me know?

[And once she's there and registered, Tina does a double take as she opens the door to her bedroom, and just stands there, gaping.

Her room back home had been covered with horse posters, but she has her own little suite here that is positively PLASTERED with horses. The wallpaper, the decorations, the bedspread... it's a paradise.]

It's like a dream come true...

Dear diary,

I was just going to the bathroom and it's like I stepped into Narnia. I guess there are other people here and I hope they'll be nice enough to say hello.

Love, Tina

[[OOC note Hi friends! I'm Shurimon and this is Tina Belcher from the cartoon Bob's Burgers. She's an ordinary teenage girl and is a bit of an AU- she'll have her memories from

driftfleet intact. Please feel free to add me at

[ No. There's absolutely no way, but there's only one real way to find out: ]

I'd say this is better than Narnia.
For one, if you wish for that unicorn hard enough, you just might find one.

[Tina's peering at the message, and something pings at the back of her mind, and she scrambles to turn the video fuction on.

Unfortunately, she's mid-groan, and has the look of someone who's had her brain broken a little. Sorry, dude. A bunch of memories have just come back.]

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...

[Then he'll switch to video too, leaning forward and resting his hand underneath his chin. He'd almost missed this.

He laughs, not unkindly: ] Hey, Tina. Missed me?

I did. I do. I don't know. I'm so mixed up right now. [Pause, as she takes a few deep breaths to calm herself.] ... I went home, and I didn't remember anything about the Drift Fleet except I'd have dreams about traveling in space sometimes, and it FELT real but I knew it couldn't be because that's not possible, right? [She frowns.] ... But it was real, wasn't it?

[ He's quiet for a couple of seconds, letting her take all the time she needs to process this. Remembering en masse isn't fun. It's never fun. ]

Yeah. All of it was. [ He swallows thickly, ] But it wasn't as terrifying as it could've been, either.

[Tina's quiet again, thinking back on those months she'd spent in the Fleet. Because getting a bunch of new memories WAS a little overwhelming. Also, she realizes something...]

No... some parts of it were pretty great. And now it's happened again. I was going through a door in the restaurant and now I'm here. Am I going to be separated from my family again?

I'm not sure. Everyone comes in through those blue doors, but they're finicky. Try opening them and see where it leads. If you see home, then you're free to go. If you don't... well. [ He manages a laugh, ] We'll cross that bridge when we get to it.
