260 — Olympics mingle
[ It is a gorgeous day down here at the bottom of the sea and what better day to have an Olympics! The obstacle course is set up, the towels are fluffed, the medals have been polished to a high sheen and every orange within sight has been sliced.

Okay. Maybe not every orange. A lot of them. Enough to fuel a whole prison full of athletes, so athlete away! We can't waste all these oranges! ]

[This is everything Nathan dislikes. Sunlight, exercise, people. The oranges aren't bad, but isn't there anything else to eat? And why do all of the girls who ice skate and do gymnastics have to wear skimpy clothes? It's like the wardens are trying to start a blood bath by annoying him as much as possible and then shoving girls without sufficient clothing at him.

At least it'll be partly Kitty's fault if he snaps. She's the one who decided that he should go outside and socialize and soak up the vitamin D or whatever.

Nathan is distracting himself by flailing all over the obstacle course. He's not good at it by any means, but at least everyone in the area is covered up. Plus, if he acts like he's concentrating on not tripping over tires, people are less likely to talk to him.

When he sees Kitty phasing through a wall that got the best of Nathan, his irritation encourages him to remind her about fair play. Yeah, he'd bypass the sweat and bruises and splinters and other minor evils of healthy exercise on an obstacle course if he could, too, but he can't. That's what he takes issue with.]

That's cheating.

	[She turns to look at her accuser, head tilting slightly.] What is? [Barely even aware of her surroundings she looks around, as if taking them in for the first time.] Oh. Using my natural gifts is cheating? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	questionofwhen 2014-03-06 01:06 am UTC (link)
	When your gifts make all of the obstacles not obstacles, yeah. [But Kitty's vagueness puts a damper on Nathan's righteous indignation. Something's not right.] What's wrong? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2014-03-07 05:41 am UTC (link)
	...Nothing new. Or do you have some kind of temporary amnesia? [As much as she wants to move on easily, that's just not going to happen. Lots of missing a certain genius. This as about as functional as she's getting while heart broken and without an immediate crisis to attend to. Obstacle courses don't count.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	questionofwhen 2014-03-08 12:58 am UTC (link)
	No. Just wondered if it was something different. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2014-03-08 01:02 am UTC (link)
	No, I'm boring that way. I stay upset about things sometimes up to four or five days in a row. ...So you're really participating? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	questionofwhen 2014-03-08 01:17 am UTC (link)
	Sorry for asking. [Said the same way one might say, "Wow, you're a bitch."] Tripping over tires doesn't count as participating. I'm just... distracting myself. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2014-03-10 05:22 am UTC (link)
	[Probably a fair tone considering.] From Reid being missing or stray thoughts of murder? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	questionofwhen 2014-03-18 12:52 am UTC (link)
	Both. [Those are basically the only two things he thinks about, after all.] And how pissed off you'd probably be if I killed myself in your apartment. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2014-03-18 04:21 am UTC (link)
	[...Is it that bad?] Does thinking about that help keep you from doing it? Or just keep you from thinking about doing it in the apartment? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	questionofwhen 2014-03-18 10:35 pm UTC (link)
	[Well, okay, he does think about other things, but those are the two big ones. Reid and killing hookers. Yep.] Keeps my brain busy. Besides, I wouldn't do that. Remember when you promised I don't have to be alone and I promised the same thing back? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2014-03-18 11:10 pm UTC (link)
	I remember. [Hand out, hair in danger of being ruffled.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	questionofwhen 2014-03-18 11:53 pm UTC (link)
	[EVASIVE MANEUVERS. In this case, such maneuvers involve stepping back into the stupid tire obstacle and flailing to avoid falling over. Such grace.] So. No killing myself in the apartment or anywhere else. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2014-03-19 12:57 am UTC (link)
	[She might have reached out to grab him if he didn't right himself. Maybe. Probably. Okay, but at least she wouldn't have laughed much if he fell?] Good. Neither will I. [How's that for a deal?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	questionofwhen 2014-03-19 05:41 pm UTC (link)
	[Kitty is such a good person. Kind of. Mostly.] Sounds fair. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2014-03-21 12:37 am UTC (link)
	I thought so. Okay, you want to keep doing your obstacle thing? I'll stop cheating and go watch you. Cheering. Silently. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	questionofwhen 2014-03-21 01:21 am UTC (link)
	I'm done. I've had my ass kicked by enough obstacles for one day. [Pause.] Wanna get some orange slices? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2014-03-23 04:55 pm UTC (link)
	I do. [They do so much food bonding, but it works for them.] Maybe we'll get crazy and have some water to go with it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	questionofwhen 2014-03-24 01:21 am UTC (link)
	[Food is safe. It's much better than bonding over murder.] Then can I go home? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2014-03-24 02:00 am UTC (link)
	Ours or the one back in DC? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	questionofwhen 2014-03-24 02:14 am UTC (link)
	Ours. It's the only one I got. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2014-03-24 04:00 am UTC (link)
	Sure. Is that what you really want? Lots of people out here who probably don't all suck. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	questionofwhen 2014-03-25 12:06 am UTC (link)
	Yeah, but there're a lot of girls in swimsuits and spandex and stuff, too. Something could happen. [Not that he's ever wanted to cut up any girls who weren't hookers, but why take a chance?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2014-03-25 01:27 am UTC (link)
	I guess so. You think it would? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	questionofwhen 2014-03-26 01:36 am UTC (link)
	No, but some of them're really nice, and I don't want to mess up, you know? I already scared one girl away. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
