[ 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! ))

	[ Shakes his head. ] He's been picking fights, from what I could gather... actually, it sounds like we have another Helix on our hands. I wouldn't say he's dangerous or unfit for duty, but it's definitely something to look into. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I don't know. I wouldn't exactly want Helix on the team. [Then again...she wouldn't exactly not want him either. If the team were more of a unit, more established and it was just rounding out a few rough edges that would be one thing. As it is people are always coming and going. Half the squad barely knows the other half.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Well... sure, but you got Sougo already. I'm just saying I don't think he's a potential threat at the moment. [ They can't be too picky, unfortunately. This isn't like back home when you've known your team for years and can trust them with your life completely. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	So, I shouldn't leave here and go tie him to a tree? [She smiles a little.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Good smile. He mirrors it. ] Not yet... I'll let you know if the situation changes. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[She smiles a little.] Is this us working together? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-10-06 06:10 pm UTC (link)
	I think it must be. How does it feel? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2013-10-06 06:18 pm UTC (link)
	It feels right. You? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-10-07 07:37 am UTC (link)
	Feels pretty good. [ A beat. ] I'm glad I told you. [ Yes, this means he had no original intention to. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2013-10-09 12:11 am UTC (link)
	[Why you do this?] As opposed to...putting it in a report? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-10-09 08:26 pm UTC (link)
	As opposed to waiting to see if there's anything to tell. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Thoughtful look.] You are not the biggest fan of communication, are you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-10-12 05:22 pm UTC (link)
	It's not that. I just don't want to worry you about something that could be nothing. [ A beat. ] Is that... bad? [ It was easier back home. The lines were clearer. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2013-10-14 06:58 pm UTC (link)
	Not necessarily... I guess it depends on if you think me worrying a little is a problem. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-10-14 08:00 pm UTC (link)
	You have enough to worry about as it is. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2013-10-14 08:08 pm UTC (link)
	I can handle more. ...How fragile do you think I am? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-10-15 05:08 pm UTC (link)
	Who said I thought you were fragile? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2013-10-15 05:14 pm UTC (link)
	Kind of inferring here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-10-15 07:36 pm UTC (link)
	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)

	kitty_has_claws 2013-10-15 07:42 pm UTC (link)
	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)

	thisiscalm 2013-10-18 05:45 pm UTC (link)
	[ 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)
