Second Chance Meme!

Okay, rocks fell, everyone died. Too bad, valiant meatshippers! But the good news is that you've all be reincarnated!

...as baseline humans on modern Earth.

Maybe you're waiting at a coffee shop, and you spot someone out of the corner of your eye that looks strangely familiar. Maybe instead of strangers from universes far apart, you and your close CR are now childhood friends who have always been together. Maybe you meet a former enemy as a friend, or a former friend is now a bitter enemy.

Are you a college student? A high-powered lawyer? A kindhearted schoolteacher?

What would your life have been like had you been born under different circumstances, and you met your fellow crew once again? If you had a second chance? Would you still fall into the same habits, be a victim of the same misfortunes? or would you use the opportunity to be someone completely different?

The seat next to the young man with the book was still free, and Ann really wanted to sit down. She'd just replaced her work shoes, to go with her work suit, and they weren't quite broken in yet. Standing on the train was going to be uncomfortable.

As soon as the train was moving steadily, she leaned over him. "May I sit down?"

"Certainly," Soren said. He might be distant, calculating, and ruthless, but he was polite.

"Please, go ahead."

"Thank you." She tucks her laptop bag behind her legs, so that it is out of everyone's way. Just as she was settled into her seat, her cellphone rang from inside her jacket.

She frowned with irritation and glanced at her seat mate. "Excuse me," she half-whispered, before pulling the phone out and having a brief conversation with someone named Doctor Rank. As soon as was decently polite, she ended the call and tucked the phone away, setting it to 'silent.'

"Sorry," she apologized again. "I hate it when people do that."

"It's no problem," said Soren, though he looked a little annoyed all the same. Everyone thought they were an exception to the rules. Sigh.

Maybe he really should looking into getting a car. He hated the things, though -- great noisy wastes of space and resources. Dr. Rank. Hmm.

He was right to be annoyed, of course. Trains saved her the trouble of having to rent a car, and it was inconsiderate of her to answer the phone and inconvenience all those people. Even if she didn't see her doctor as much as she liked....even if they had to squeeze in sessions online and over the phone and between business trips...

She tucked her elbows close to her side, and half-lidded her eyes, listening to the clicking of the wheels on the rails while she mentally plotted out what she needed to do as soon as she got on campus.
