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.)

	We both know you're tougher than that. [ Quietly and meticulously cleaning her wounds out. It feels better now that he got a closer look. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2014-01-10 05:22 am UTC (link)
	[She handles it pretty calmly even if it's clearly tender. It's not her first time being cut up.] Have you figured anything out about this? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2014-01-10 06:16 pm UTC (link)
	Nothing conclusive... actually, not much at all. [ And it's frustrating like all hell. ] It's difficult to get any sort of grasp of what's really going on out there, let alone why. Is this an inmate? The wardens? A malfunction, like the other times when the Kiosk has been down? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2014-01-10 07:02 pm UTC (link)
	Or a combination. Yeah. We don't have much to go on. The combat teams are batting away the raptors, but it doesn't get us to the root of what's going on or why only the raptors are out if it really is only the raptors. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2014-01-10 07:57 pm UTC (link)
	Or that. [ Sigh. All done with the cleaning, he continues to meticulously apply the bandages. ] I guess we'll just have to wait and see. I'm planning to conduct some eye witness interviews once, uh... once it's calmed down. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2014-01-12 07:10 am UTC (link)
	If it calms down. [Tiny wince at one of the touches.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2014-01-13 01:09 pm UTC (link)
	It usually does... doesn't it? I can't remember anything lasting more than a couple of days before they got a hold on the situation. [ Although... ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2014-01-14 02:03 pm UTC (link)
	Usually. Almost all our problems can be solved in a single day. It's like we're a sitcom. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2014-01-15 12:21 am UTC (link)
	Well, if this is a sitcom it's a bad one... I'm sure not laughing. [ One more strip of tape aaand. ] All done. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2014-01-15 06:44 pm UTC (link)
	Good. How much more more relaxing do I require before I can go play with lizards again? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2014-01-16 05:54 pm UTC (link)
	Finish your coffee. After that I guess I don't have an excuse to keep you here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2014-01-17 04:15 am UTC (link)
	Works for me. [She turns her head more to get a better look at him.] You know I'll be okay, right? This scratch is nothing. I won't get anything worse. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2014-01-17 03:39 pm UTC (link)
	You better not. [ Tense and definitely worried. He doesn't like that she got hurt. It's a thing that shouldn't happen when you have an intangible girlfriend. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2014-01-17 03:41 pm UTC (link)
	Yes, I can see your stress just melting away. Just focus on figuring out what's going on and I'll focus on keeping everyone in once piece. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2014-01-17 03:54 pm UTC (link)
	Alright. [ Sigh. ] Be careful out there, okay? Phase a lot? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2014-01-17 03:58 pm UTC (link)
	Listen, I don't know if this is going to make you feel better or worse, but I let that raptor do this so I had a shot at taking more of them out before I got too tired. It was strategic to get him in position. But I promise. I'll phase a lot. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2014-01-17 04:00 pm UTC (link)
	[ Worse. Definitely worse. It's not like this is the Kitty equivalent of taking her flak vest off or stepping out in clear view where people can shoot you just to get the strategic upper hand. Oh no. He moves around the desk to face her, stepping in close and slipping his arms around her shoulders for a hug. ] Just come back in one piece. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2014-01-17 04:06 pm UTC (link)
	I can do that. I'm the leader. I can't go and get myself dead. [She hugs him back tightly.] Stay where it's safe. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2014-01-17 10:39 pm UTC (link)
	I will. [ As long as she comes back. Or stays in touch. If she doesn't... well. All promises are void. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2014-01-18 04:25 am UTC (link)
	Good. I need someone to fight for. [She takes her last drink of coffee and this kiss is probably going to taste like coffee, but she can't go back out there without a kiss.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2014-01-18 11:00 pm UTC (link)
	[ Coffee flavored kisses. He kind of likes that actually. The kiss is tender and maybe a little needy. He doesn't want her to go. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2014-01-18 11:08 pm UTC (link)
	[She can feel that from him. She practically knows what he's thinking but eventually the kiss has to end and she needs to go.] I love you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2014-01-18 11:52 pm UTC (link)
	I love you too. [ Little nuzzle. He knows she has to. He won't keep her. ] Be safe. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

You too. [She rests their foreheads together for a moment. She doesn't want to leave either. She wants to stay and watch over him. She also doesn't want to enjoy the battle out there as much as she does. It isn't enjoyment that sends her back out though. It's protecting others.]

I'll check in soon. [She slips off her desk and steps away to prevent more hugging and kissing.]

	[ Clever. He may not have let her go if she hadn't taken that precaution. He will however follow her out to the corridor, giving one last caress over her shoulder before returning to his desk like a good boy. Let's figure this mess out. ] (Reply to this) (Parent)
