Mingle: Event Kick-Off
[ It was mid-morning. The sky was clear and it was a (not so) very blustery day. It was cool but it was always cool. It was neither too warm nor too hot.

Lukewarm.

And that was just how Bak preferred it. Especially since he had in hand his very important, extra special concoction of wonderful forgetfulness on hand! Bak could stand teasing, but even this was getting ridiculous.

Hefting the bag a little higher so it fit snug into the crook between elbow and shoulder, he stepped off into wild world of Marinanova and promptly had to grab onto his hat.

Opps. He always forgot about that step down.

Taking another step, he nearly tripped again, this time on a rock. Frowning, Bak starred at the offending piece of debris and then he kicked it.

And yelped.

And then held his foot, dropping his bag in a near blinding rush of ”Eeeek!” as he dived for the paper bag, watching as with a POOF half of the contents disappeared into the wind, leaving him sneezing and dazed on the ground wondering what the heck had just happened. Clearly, his own formula had been getting the best of him. It happens when one sneaky scientist messes with the formula and Bak spent the better part of the morning putting the final touches of the mixture together.

Heightened emotions indeed.

Bak will rue this day assuming he survived it. ]

((ooc: Consider this post an open mingle and the start of the Marina Feelings Roulette Event! Creating your own posts is, as always, highly encouraged. And, unless you got an extra hefty dose of it right off the bat (re: by being in proximity to Bak when it happened) feelings should gradually start to go haywire later in the day with strongest feelings in the afternoon and tapering off again as evening descends. For more info on the details, please go here. Have fun!))

	Apology is hardly useful. [ if only he could truly appreciate it— he can value reid's compliance, but companionship and amicability continue to startle him in subtle ways. instead, he merely brushes it off and continues walking, focusing on maintaining some sort of steadiness within himself, some control. ] I would prefer to know our destination.

	Actually... I haven't decided on one yet. Do you have anywhere you'd like to go? [ It's not exactly about him, this walk. It's about finding a place Piter would feel safe in. Establish security. Just as much a tactic as a show of friendship, believe it or not. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Perhaps somewhere quiet. [ it's rare for him to sound this reserved. he would almost seem meek if not for the faint tone of anger beneath everything he says, anger not at reid but at his own powerlessness. he honestly doesn't feel safe anywhere, except for perhaps his own apartment at times— but he certainly isn't letting reid set foot inside of it. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ He's used to anger, whether it's directed at him or not. It's no big deal. Finding a place to take Piter is though — taking a stray mentat home to Kitty would probably not go over so well. Somewhere public, then. ] Library? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ at the moment, he'd much rather nod silently than say anything, but he forces more than a monosyllabic reply out, even forces a casual tone out of himself. ] That will do, yes. [ there is a hard edge to his voice, the faint ring of artifice. a mask of porcelain is forming to his face, cool and undisturbed but fragile all the same.

the irony of winding up in the library once again with reid does not escape him; he recalls well the deliberation as he walked there, assessing reid's potential as a threat, making notes to himself to observe the boy in that first meeting, to profile the profiler, to try and gain his own upper hand. ]

You remain unaffected by this... torment, I presume. [ piter is envious. ]

	So far so good... [ And he could've ended it there, kept his worries and insecurities to himself but Piter has proven to be deceptively easy to unload on. There's no coddling and with Hotch gone... well. He needs the stability more than he needs his common sense. ] ...as far as I can tell, at least. (Reply to this) (Parent)
