[ Locked to Lacus Clyne ]

Do you have a moment?

[ Locked to Kitty Pryde. ]

Hey... we need to talk. [ Wow that sounds scary, let's defuse that. ] It's work related.

[ Open Action ]

[ Anyone keen on bumping into Reid today can easily find him at the library, the Defence Force HQ, Bean Crushers in Sector 4 or en route to any of these places or the apartment complex in Sector 2! ]

	Sure. See you soon. [With a smile she goes to find a table for the two of them, locating one in the corner.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ He places his order of a black coffee, adds a chocolate chip cookie on as a spontaneous treat and takes a moment to mutilate his beverage with ridiculous amounts of sugar before finding his way back to her. Taking a seat opposite, he shoots Bonnie a somewhat awkward smile. ] So how's... school? Are you taking classes still? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	medeis 2013-11-02 11:00 am UTC (link)
	Uh, not really. [ Bonnie shifts, looking slightly guilty. ] I know, not exactly model student behaviour but my heart hasn't been entirely in it. Probably because my friends left. [ She takes a much-needed bite from her cookie, needing it for comfort. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I guess it doesn't matter much, since we don't exactly get grades or degrees... [ Not that it's stopping him. A life without studying would be too weird. He's never not done it. ] Who did you lose, if you don't mind me asking? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	medeis 2013-11-03 12:19 pm UTC (link)
	I still feel bad cause I made a promise to myself to stick with it. [ She'll get back into it eventually and be more dedicated. ] A few friends from home. And Dawn. I made friends with her here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-11-04 09:41 am UTC (link)
	Dawn's gone..? [ Wow, that... how did he miss that? That's kind of upsetting. He liked Dawn. ] I'm so sorry. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	medeis 2013-11-04 02:30 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, me too. [ Bonnie says quietly before shaking it off. ] I just hope that she's back home and safe. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-11-04 04:24 pm UTC (link)
	[ There's a moment of hesitation. After Squall, Reid is pretty sure that whatever happens to the people that leave? They're not going home. It doesn't seem like a good thing to bring up though, especially since they don't have enough evidence to prove it. ] Yeah... I hope so too. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	medeis 2013-11-04 05:14 pm UTC (link)
	[ There was always a knot in her stomach which led Bonnie to believe that no one ever got to return back to where they came from. It was just easier to not think about it at all. ] I guess no one will ever know for sure, huh? Not exactly reassuring. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-11-06 12:15 pm UTC (link)
	I guess not... on the other hand, it's not that different from the way it is back home. With the exception that we can actually come back from this. [ Death... a lot less so. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	medeis 2013-11-07 02:08 pm UTC (link)
	You make a good point. [Bonnie replies before drinking more of her coffee.] Maybe one day we'll leave the prison at the same time and we'll get to go home. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-11-07 05:03 pm UTC (link)
	Maybe... that's the goal, at least. For the Defence Force, I mean... to send anyone home that wants to. [ A dilemma if he ever saw one. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	medeis 2013-11-08 04:54 pm UTC (link)
	A good cause. [ Helping others without wanting anything in return. Selfless. ] Are there a lot of people who want to stay in the prison? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-11-09 01:30 pm UTC (link)
	I don't have any exact figures, but I'd say there's a fair few of them. [ "Us", he nearly says. Nearly. ] Not everyone has a home to go back to. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	medeis 2013-11-09 03:14 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, I guess. Sometimes I forget that people don't and I feel bad about it. [ Bonnie frowns.] Probably because I'm so caught up in trying to figure a way back for my friends and other people here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-11-09 05:04 pm UTC (link)
	There's nothing wrong with that, as long as you don't try to pull the ones who want to stay with you. [ A point Helix was very passionate about. He should really talk to that little brat soon. ] We all have to make up our own mind about this place, I suppose. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	medeis 2013-11-11 05:43 pm UTC (link)
	No. Never. People want to stay, that is their decision and I wouldn't take that away from them. [ People had built lives for themselves here, Bonnie had seen that for herself. ] Yeah. That's a good way to think about it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-11-12 02:57 pm UTC (link)
	[ A little hum and a nod as he takes a sip of his cooling coffee. ] I think we have to think that way about most things. We can't trust other people's judgment all the time, it's far too easy to get stuck in old tracks that way. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	medeis 2013-11-13 06:21 pm UTC (link)
	Sometimes, you have to rely on your own judgment, even if other people believe you might be wrong. [ She goes for a smile because it seemed much better than frowning. ] I still got a few things to learn. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-11-13 06:52 pm UTC (link)
	[ Smiles are typically better in most situations. ] We all do. How old are you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	medeis 2013-11-14 07:01 pm UTC (link)
	I'm eighteen. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-11-15 06:40 pm UTC (link)
	[ Nodding. ] I turned 30 not too long ago. You'd think that I'd know a lot more by now but it still feels like there's something new every single day. It hasn't changed too much from 18. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	medeis 2013-11-16 01:04 pm UTC (link)
	So even at 30, you haven't worked out everything just yet. That makes me feel a little better about things. [ A half-smile. ] Being here brings a whole new set of challenges though. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-11-17 01:04 pm UTC (link)
	It does... maybe more so for those of us that don't have superpowers where we're from. There's a lot to process. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	medeis 2013-11-18 07:24 pm UTC (link)
	Yep. But it didn't take me too long to process it because of what my life is like back home. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
