Day 250 [Video/Action : Open][Additional video to DF]
[Open to all]

Get indoors and stay indoors. Keep doors and windows secure. Call the Defense Force dispatch center if you're in danger. We wear these communicators on our heads, so it's a quick call. We can't help if we don't know there's a problem. Call even if you're just without a light source or food. We'll get someone to you so you don't leave a safe location.

Our teams are working on the raptors, but if you do run into them remember that they are fast, strong, smarter than they look, and they hunt in packs. Best idea is to not run into them.

[Locked to Defense Force]

We need to figure out if it's just the raptors that are loose or if other inmates from Sector 6 our out here with us. Report anything out of the ordinary—ordinary being power fluctuations and raptor attacks at the moment.

Keep yourselves and each other safe.

[Action]

[Kitty is out hunting. It's not her first time fighting the raptors. They used to be a constant presence in the dome and even now as the leader of the Sector 6 team she comes up against them fairly regularly. She just evades them easily enough these days. She patrols that sector to learn more about it, not to start fights with what lives inside. But today, they are on her turf. They're in her home attacking her friends, so she's not holding back.

There's something seductively liberating about that. For all her growth and development since she came her on Day 24, she's still Kitty Pryde. The girl who was trained by Weapon X. The girl who was Magneto's shadow assassin. The girl who fought to survive and protect. She didn't relish the kill, but there is a thrill to the fight she can't deny even though she might want to. You just might find her making a mess out of some raptors when you come across her. Those claws she wears on her wrists aren't just for decoration.]

(OOC: Backdated to afternoon. It's also possible to encounter her in or after a fear effect for action.)

	Same as you? I, uh... I work here? ...You didn't expect me to actually stay at home, did you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2013-12-28 11:33 pm UTC (link)
	Of course I did. What can you do here that you can't do from there? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-12-28 11:36 pm UTC (link)
	Be with my team. [ Don't fight him on this. Especially not since he's fine, a fine spray of blood on his shirt the only evidence that he even saw any action on the way over. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2013-12-29 10:35 pm UTC (link)
	[Well, that stops her effectively. He knows just what to say sometimes. It's almost like he's a profiler or something.] ...What happened? [Nodding to the blood on his shirt while she ignores what's on hers.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-12-30 09:48 pm UTC (link)
	[ Or something. ] Actually, uhm... Tyki happened. [ And before she has too much of a chance to misinterpret, he continues: ] He took care of a raptor. I stood a little too close. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2013-12-31 01:53 am UTC (link)
	He...rescued you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Little nod. ] Believe it or not. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2013-12-31 02:24 am UTC (link)
	I'm leaning toward not, but you don't look like a zombie. He really saved you? [Is she going to have to thank him later?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-12-31 02:28 am UTC (link)
	[ Whoa there, let's dial it back a bit. ] I think that had less to do with me and more to do with how much he enjoyed killing raptors. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2013-12-31 02:39 am UTC (link)
	There are lots of raptors, Reid. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-12-31 02:55 am UTC (link)
	I know... I was out there. I saw them. [ Actually let's not linger on that. ] I just wouldn't read too much into it, that's all. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2013-12-31 02:59 am UTC (link)
	[It's way too late for that, but if it helps she thinks it was all for her.] Yeah, well... How are things here? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-12-31 02:19 pm UTC (link)
	[ Good enough. He won't complain, as long as he can keep her blissfully unaware of that deal. ] Busy... disorganized. I'm working on it, though. [ A beat. ] Have you seen Rebecca? Or... heard from her? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2014-01-01 07:10 am UTC (link)
	Rebecca? No, she hasn't checked in with me. I assumed she'd be working dispatch. You haven't seen her? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2014-01-01 11:26 pm UTC (link)
	[ Shakes his head. He's worried. ] I tried to call her before I left the apartment, but I haven't heard back yet. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2014-01-02 05:21 am UTC (link)
	That's not good. I'll let the teams who are out in the sectors know to keep an eye out for her. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2014-01-02 02:08 pm UTC (link)
	Thanks. [ A tense nod. ] Do you need anything? I mean... are you okay? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2014-01-02 06:38 pm UTC (link)
	Fine. [She pauses before turning and lifting up the back of her shirt to show some bloody scratches. Shallow. They've stopped bleeding, but they haven't been cleaned up yet.] But there's this. It wasn't deep. [But she also can't really see it.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2014-01-02 08:29 pm UTC (link)
	[ He draws an audible breath at the sight of those scratches, more because it's on her rather than that he's squeamish (he's so not squeamish). ] Let me clean those up for you. I mean, you should probably go to the clinic at some point, but... I can do something until then. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2014-01-04 10:38 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, sure. We just need to make it quick. I've gotta get back out there. [You didn't think she'd be out for the day that looks like night, right?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2014-01-04 11:42 pm UTC (link)
	[ Displeased frown. ] You're not going to be much help if you don't get some rest from time to time. Have you eaten at all? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2014-01-05 06:48 am UTC (link)
	Many, many times. [It's just that none of them were today.] And this is me resting. You see how relaxing and refreshing it is, right? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2014-01-05 09:38 pm UTC (link)
	Kitty... [ Hn. ] i know you have a job to do but so do I, and whether you like it or not making sure you don't die is part of my job description. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2014-01-07 04:40 am UTC (link)
	Hey, I said you could clean me up, and I'm not running laps in here. What do you want? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2014-01-07 10:24 am UTC (link)
	[ His voice takes a tone for thin exasperation. It's been a really long, scary day and he's worn pretty damn thin already. ] I want you to sit down for ten minutes and have something to eat. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
