Re: Back to the past
Grandare smirks at the nickname, though he does not know why, and the reply that comes out of his mouth is automatic as he leans against the bar toward the blond.
"Well, Apollo, far be it for me to ask you to do something you're not allowed to do. Not that building a barricade is something the government tells you you're not allowed to do or anything like that."
A moment of silence passes, and the smirk slowly falls off his face as he realizes what he has just said. When he speaks again, he looks a little horrified.
"Good god...I don't even know you!"

Re: Back to the past
He shows slight irritation at the nick name out of habit that he never knew he had. But hearing it is comforting, like seeing an old friend. He nods in agreement, knowing but not knowing what the other man is talking about.
"That's ok, i've decided that you'er part of a dream, since that's where i usually see you. you can say that I'm a vision of your drunken stupor and leave it at that."
He smiles at this 'Grantaire' and realizes that he's on the wrong side of the counter.
"Ummm, why don't you help me accross this thing before I get in trouble. I'll buy you a drink, not that you need any more, and we'll get to know eachother, if we al ready don't. What do you say to that, eh Winecask?"

Re: Back to the past
Something inside him fluttered slightly at the smile from this Apollo, and he immediatly squashed it, sending 'Enjolras' a trademark smirk as he held out a hand to help the blond over the bar.
"Sounds like a plan to me." he agrees, though the prospect of spending time with the other man seems, for some reason, much more interesting than the drink he is offered. He pulls the blond over the bar counter, and as he opens his mouth to make another sarcastic comment, his pocket starts ringing.
He looks bewilderedly down at his worn jeans, a French military song coming out in a digital voice until he smiles apologetically at 'Enjolras' and pulls it out of his pocket. He flips it open and puts it up to his ear, which, he finds out seconds later, is a very bad idea.
"GRANDARE, WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU?!"
Grandare flinches away from the phone, holding it at arm's length. After some of the profanity dies down, he cautiously puts it back to his ear and says, on a sigh: "Hello, Joy."
"Don't you "Joy" me!" the doctor snarls, and Grandare can almost see him spitting fire. "Where in god's name are you?! We've searched all your usual bars and--"
Joy's voice is cut off as the phone is taken away from him, and another, more amused voice comes onto the phone.
" 'Dare?"
"Yes, Fay?" Grandare asks, smiling into the phone.
"Where are you?"
"At the bar two blocks down from the usual place."
"Are you drunk?"
"Actually...not really."
"Really?" Fay asks, astonishment evident in his voice. "What's the special occation?"
Grandare pauses for a minute, glancing at the god at his side for a moment before speaking. "I do believe I've found Apollo, Fay."
On the other line Fay falls silent, and Grandare can almost hear the shock in that silence.
"We'll be there in a minute." Fay says, his voice hard, before the line goes dead.

Re: Back to the past
"What was that about? Who was that? What's going on? Oh, God I'm so confused. Smack me why don't you I need to know if this is real, I can't stay in limbo forever, my God I need a drink!"
Enji or was it Enjorlas did not like this feeling of being out of control. It was alien and very uncomfortable.

Re: Back to the past
Grandare stares at the blond for a moment after this outburst, then begins to laugh, a low, rough, husky sound.
"You sounded just like Joy for a moment there, Apollo." He sits down at the counter next to the other man, still smiling slightly. "Joy and Fay are two of my friends. Fay I've known since I was a kid, and we just met Joy this year. They were having the same dreams that it seems both you and I are, though I must admit they've delt with it better than I have." Grandare's smile turns into a smirk, and he looks at 'Enjolras' through half-lidded eyes. "I know it feels like you need a drink now, but believe me, if it's Joy's car we're riding in, the last thing you want is an alcoholic beverage."
"Absolutely it is!"
Grandare feels himself lifted by the back of his collar and turned slightly until he can see a tall man with curly brown hair glaring down at him through the spectacles on the end of his nose. Grandare smirks at the other man over his shoulder.
"Why, hello Joy." Grandare says, obviously amused; that is, until he gets shaken very roughly. Then he is extremely dizzy.
"Don't you 'hello, Joy' me!" the brown-haired man snarls. "Do you have any idea how long we've been looking for you?!" Grandare glares at the doctor for a moment, before spitting out a characteristic sarcastic comment.
"What, now? Am I to be confined to two separate places? I am an adult, Joy, if you hadn't noticed."
"Well, then maybe you should try acting like it!" Joy retorts, his dark blue eyes angry.
"That's not much coming from a guy whose name is "Joy"." Grandare quips, and finds himself shaken roughly once again. "For god's sake, Doctor, I'm not drunk so stop treating me like I am!" At this, Joy pauses, leaning forward to examine Grandare for a moment before dropping the cynic back into his seat, though he still looks far from placated.
"Well, surprised as I am to see you sober," Joy begins, and Grandare glares at him. "That does not excuse the fact that you did not leave us any note or anything! We didn't know where you were or if you were on the street! You could get yourself killed, you know!"
"Aw, c'mon Joy, leave him be. We found him, didn't we?"
Grandare almost sighs in relief as Fay's voice comes from off to Joy's left, and his redheaded friend steps in next to the doctor so he is between Joy and 'Enjolras'.
"Hello, 'Dare. You're looking sober." Fay says, as way of greeting, and Grandare smirks back.
"And you look as though you've been out with the girls again, Fay." At this, Fay gives him a cheeky grin, and Grandare knows he is right. Joy, however, colors.
"Honestly!" he snaps."Must you two speak that way in the presence of...of..." He looks to Grandare to supply a name, but the cynic finds that, with an unusual streak of guilt, he does not know the blond's real name.

Re: Back to the past
"Enji, though I'm not so sure about that any more. So you guys have been having the nightmares too huh?"
'At least I'm not alone anymore'

Re: Back to the past
Fay smiles at the blond.
"Nice to meet you, Enji. I'm Fay Courac, and yes, we all have been having these nightmares." Fay pulls up a stool so he sits off to Enji's right. "I've been having them the longest, since I was eight." Fay explains. "I was friends with 'Dare here," he motions breifly to Grandare. "At the time, and I thought I recognized him, but being eight years old, I didn't put much to it."
"Then I started having the same dreams about two years go." Grandare supplies, continuing the story. "I told Fay about them, and then he told me about his. So we began looking into these dreams."
"And that's when they met me." Joy interjects, stepping forward a bit, refusing to be left out. "I just recently began having these dreams of a barracade and a cafe, and I recognized Fay and Grandare one day while I was having breakfast at the cafe down the street."
"And that's the story, really." Grandare finishes off. "So we've been trying to look for the other people in our dreams since then, but with little luck. That is..." Grandare pauses, eyeing Enji critically. "That is...until you came along."

Re: Back to the past
"Ok so now that I know I'm not crazy I guess i can talk about it....All right, i have been having these dreams for abaut six months i think, also I am losing my memory of my life before they started. I still remember my parents and important things but the details are slipping and are sometimes replaced by memories from the dreams."
He debates with himself wether to go on and decides 'What the hell, I've already gotten this far and i seem to be getting answers at last.'
"Sometimes I think I have been given the wrong name.... You know I think the bartender here has the same problem as us. I recognized her form my dreams and she seemend to recognize me, but also seemed angry at me and I don't know why."

Re: Back to the past
Joy nods in agreement with Enji's description of events.
"Ya, that sounds about right." he assents.
Grandare, however, is silent. He glances over at Nina for a moment, studying her. He doesn't recognize her from his dreams at all...does she recognize him? But then, the dreams are only flashes of memory. Maybe these memories from what he has dubbed his 'other self' could be more extensive if he dug into them further? But what would the risks be? It's not like he remembers much of he childhood in the first place. Most of it was spent moving from fosterhome to fosterhome until he was taken in by his Aunt and Uncle, who are now deceased. He does not think he would really miss these memories too much, for they are not happy ones...
But then, how could he bring himself to forget Grandare entirely, giving him up for this 'Grantaire' man who he supposedly was at one point in time. Grantaire looks like him and talks like him and even gets drunk like he does, and yet Grantaire is someone totally separate from Grandare. Grantaire didn't know Courfeyrac, Fay's other, until they were almost twenty, and even then they were just friendly aquantences. But where would Grandare be without Fay's friendship, especially in those lonely days of his childhood? Where would he have ended up if Fay hadn't been there to allow him a house to sleep in when his Aunt and Uncle kicked him out?
And what about Joy? Where would Grandare be without the doctor to watch out for him, playing the mother hen? From what they gathered of Joly, Joy's other, the hypochondriac was a happy, joyful man, though he did not bother Grantaire and Grantaire did not bother him. In fact, Grantaire didn't seem too close to any of the other men in their dreams, keeping mostly to himself in his corner of the Cafe and going on random rants about society when the mood suited him. He didn't even believe in the cause the students were advocating.
So why was he there?
Enjolras.
And now, here before him, sits Enjolras Reincarnate: Enji.
Grandare has strove for months to figure out why Grantaire was so obsessed with this golden-haired god, and now he is beginning to see why. Enji, like his counterpart, holds himself erect even when he is sitting and his very presence seems to command respect, even though it looks like he has not slept for a couple of days. His blond hair is tied loosely at the back of his neck, his sky-blue eyes seem to glow, and his pale skin makes him almost angelic. Or demonic.
Grandare shivers for a moment as he stares, studing Enji like a painter would study a masterpeice.
"Look, I have an idea." Fay's voice jolts Gandare out of his musings, making the cynic's head snap towards the redhead. "Why don't we go back to my house and have some tea and we can show you what we've discovered already, Enji." Fay grins good-naturedly at Gandare. "And, if nothing else, 'Dare can take a shower. No offense, mate, but you need one."
"Thank you!" Joy exclaimes, throwing up his hands. "I was just waiting for someone to mention that!" Grandare throws a glare at Joy before standing, albeit slightly shakily, and turns to Enji.
"I'm alright with that." he agrees. "Enji?"
