[ Although the other day was far from as traumatic as the last inmate influx, it left Reid a little pensive. Made him think of extreme aggressors, of 50 000 chess games, of expecting different outcomes in a game that would only end with check mate, but unlike a few years ago this is not a depressive thought. Instead, it makes him crave interaction and so he hits up the network. ]

Hey, guys. I was wondering... there's quite a few of us here that know how to play chess. How would you feel about an impromptu tournament? Nothing fancy, just... I don't know, anyone who's interested could drop by the library and we'll set up a few games. Bring a board, if you got one.

[ A bit of an awkward smile and then he cuts the feed. ]

(( OOC: MINGLE-STYLE! Email notifs are off, so thread to your hearts content! Reid will have a video response thread here and an action response thread here for your Reid-y needs! ))

	Kitty, I know better than anyone what you can take. I also know that good leaders tend to handle more than they necessarily should. If I can keep some minor stuff off your plate, all the better. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	So, partnership stuff, not distrust stuff? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-10-15 07:49 pm UTC (link)
	Yes... of course. [ Beat. ] ...Did you really think I didn't say anything because I don't trust you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2013-10-18 01:32 am UTC (link)
	I...wasn't sure. [And she does feel badly about that, but] You're not always the most forthcoming guy. You've got a lot of brain and I can't always tell what it's thinking. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Lopsided little smile, in the hopes of disarming the conversation. ] Sometimes I don't know that either. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2013-10-18 05:49 pm UTC (link)
	[She smiles back.] Scary. [Will it help the disarming if she leans in for a little kiss?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-10-18 06:15 pm UTC (link)
	[ That does help. ] You have no idea. [ Oh wait we're dipping into serious territory let's not go there. ] I'm not trying to keep anything from you on purpose. There's just... I don't know, a filter. If I told you everything at all times we'd never get anything done. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2013-10-19 06:28 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, I know. I guess I don't tell you everything either. [She smiles at him.] Just tell me how it goes? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-10-20 11:23 am UTC (link)
	I will... I promise. [ Little forehead kiss, because he can. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2013-10-21 01:25 am UTC (link)
	[Smile, because she can.] You're really cute when you do that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-10-21 03:16 pm UTC (link)
	When I do what? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2013-10-21 03:19 pm UTC (link)
	Everything? I meant the kiss though. At the risk of sounding like I'm 5? It makes me feel safe. [And loved.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-10-21 03:29 pm UTC (link)
	Then I'll make sure to do it more often. [ Like right now. She's cute when she's letting the vulnerability shine through a little. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2013-10-21 03:30 pm UTC (link)
	[She smiles at the light touch of his lips.] You're going to spoil me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-10-21 03:36 pm UTC (link)
	Someone should. Might as well be me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2013-10-21 04:02 pm UTC (link)
	You're definitely my first choice for the role. My first choice for a lot of things. [To have and to hold?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-10-21 04:26 pm UTC (link)
	[ Oh, we're going down that ~~aisle~~ path again? ] You're mine too, you know. For almost everything. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2013-10-22 01:06 am UTC (link)
	[You didn't think it would just never be on her mind again, did you?] I do now. [Little smile.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-10-22 09:36 am UTC (link)
	[ Strangely enough, he minds the thought less and less. Maybe they should do something with this. Soon. Relatively soon. ] Do you have any idea how much I love you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2013-10-23 12:57 am UTC (link)
	[It's a nice idea right now. A really, really nice idea. She's not really ready to make it real though. But maybe relatively soon?] Is it this much? [She holds her hands about a foot apart.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-10-23 03:40 pm UTC (link)
	[ Maybe relatively soon. Maybe a small little step in that direction. It doesn't have to be huge. It can just be a nod. A nudge. ] No, no, no... [ The most serious, he carefully grabs her hands and widens the gap between them as far as he can without actually bringing pain into the equation. ] This is more like it.

	Too bad we don't have amazing stretching abilities. [She'll just thread her fingers with his.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-10-27 05:39 pm UTC (link)
	[ Cutie. ] Think we can ask the Wardens for new superpowers? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2013-10-27 05:41 pm UTC (link)
	Definitely. We probably just need a few more points. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-10-27 05:49 pm UTC (link)
	Is stretchiness the thing to ask for, in that case? I mean, we should pick something really good while we're at it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
