So that sure was a newbie-centric couple of days. Except most of them didn't stick around. [Yeah, it's still bugging her. No Derek, and the only members of her team were Gideon who still scares the hell out of her and a mini-Reid who she was too freaked out to even talk to. And then that weird other Tyki...]

If some of you got to see your loved ones and all that, I'm really happy for you. Really. But for totally selfish reasons, I... kinda hope it doesn't happen very often. Someone please tell me that's not a usual thing? Because if it is I'm going to stockpile junk food and make plans to hide out under the covers on a regular.

[Anyone who is in the area of the shopping hubs can find Garcia doing some retail therapy and also picking stuff up for her homebound bud, Rebecca. She's trying to cheer herself up and so a small radio is playing some upbeat and danceable music.]

	Yeah... I can believe it. [ Softly. He gets it. It's hard, probably harder for her than it is for him if only because he tries his damnedest not to think about it. Still, yesterday left him a little raw. It's not difficult to empathize. ] Do you want to meet up? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yeah, I do. But I also promised Rebecca I'd be over and Korra seems to be a little off and... I mean, I'm not okay, but I'll be okay. So you don't have to worry. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh. [ Clears his throat. ] Okay. If you're sure. [ Disappointed? Just a smidge. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Aww, how could I resist that voice? Especially when I didn't really want to in the first place. Maybe I can swing both. I promised to pick Becks up some stuff, how about we meet up at the coffee shop and have a nice cuppa while I'm making my shopping list? You probably have some good ideas for what she'd like, yeah? It'll be a comforting two-fer. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Disappointment immediately replaced by a smile! Yes sir! ] Sure, I'd like that. I was thinking about dropping by her place at some point anyway, so coming up with a plan to keep her from burning the place down wouldn't be so bad. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Poor thing. Talk about your unfair punishments. So, yeah. I can be there in like, ten? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-08-28 12:21 pm UTC (link)
	I'll be there. [ And he will, idly contemplating if he wants a cookie with his tea or not. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Garcia shows up already laden with bags. Her laptop and assorted cords, speakers, music plus a remarkably impressive hair dye and nail polish collection.] [She flops down beside Reid and asks for "the usual with extra, extra whipped cream".] Hey, you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-08-31 07:06 am UTC (link)
	[ The familiarity of an overladen Garcia is pretty comforting, these days. Oh, who is he kidding. It's always comforting. ] Hey. I see you come prepared. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

You know it. I think it's totally bogus that Becks is stuck in there for the non-crime of wanting to take advantage of her one day with the guy she was practically living with, so it's my job to turn her frown upside down. And I figure punk makeovers and coding wars are where it's at.

[She sips at her drink and makes a frantic "too hot!" motion with her free hand.] Whoops, better let that cool down.

What's up with you?

[ Nodding in agreement. ] If there's ever a time to ease up on the rules, this would've been it. Too bad they're not programmed with that kind of flexibility.

[ Taking a sip of tea as he contemplates how to answer that question. ] Same old, I guess... criminology, defense force... chess. [ A beat. ] Actually, uh... I guess I'm still trying to recover from the other day.

	[Garcia gets noticeably awkward when the other day is mentioned, cupping her coffee close to her face and focusing on it intently.] Yeah, uh. I heard Gideon on the network. [And that other you, she doesn't add.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-09-03 05:29 pm UTC (link)
	[ The less said about the other him the better. It's been awkward as is. He can't leave the appearance of Gideon alone though, even less so since she's the only one around who really knows what went down. ] Yeah. I, uh. I met up with him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	unmitigated 2013-09-03 09:11 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, I figured you would. So... was he from before the whole leaving without a trace thing? Did you get any answers? [Gideon had always been a little different, but him leaving without a word was harsh, and worst of all for Reid.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-09-04 05:19 am UTC (link)
	[ Shakes his head. ] He was from before it happened... some time before, I'd guess. He seemed just as surprised that he'd leave as we were. [ A beat. ] He apologized. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Apologizing for something you didn't even do yet. Ain't that a bitch. Honestly this place makes my head spin more than a little when it comes to this stuff. [She pauses for a moment of thought.] Did it help any? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-09-05 01:59 pm UTC (link)
	[ A thoughtful pause of his own. ] I don't know. I'm not really sure what I expected... it was a long time ago and if he hasn't even experienced it yet... I guess on some level... I needed to hear that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	unmitigated 2013-09-06 10:43 pm UTC (link)
	Hey, I never argue with something that works. I'm really happy for you. [She sips at her coffee now that it's cooler.] Would you believe I still seize up at the sound of Gideon's voice? You'd think I'd be over it, but he always intimidated me for some reason. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-09-07 05:02 pm UTC (link)
	Really? [ Actually... he can believe it. ] Huh. I never saw it that way... but I guess he could be kind of intimidating. (Reply to this) (Parent)
