Day 261 | video; | open action;
[ she's been giving this consideration after certain things have happened and what she's been noticing happening. it seems as though a lot of the people here are having a difficult time, some more open than others, and deanna wants to be able to offer something to help them cope. she doesn't know if any of them will take her up on her offer, especially since she can't just override them by rank given to a counselor like she would on the enterprise, but she figures it can't hurt to offer.

so here she is, turning on the communicators for something she hopes will be simple, but knows likely won't be. ]

My name is Deanna Troi. I know I haven't met many of you yet and I hope that we will be able to talk in the future. That's part of why I'm setting up this communication. I've noticed that a lot of us are having a difficult time, either settling in or dealing with what's happened lately. [ the marinalympics stuff and losing so many people so suddenly... a lot of things, really. ]

I realize that I don't know a lot of you and so this may sound strange [ or upsetting ] to some of you. My job back where I'm from is to help my [ crew ] fellows by talking them through whatever difficulties their lives present. I'm a counselor and I would like to offer the same here. I don't yet have an office, but I think for the remainder of the day, I will be in Två Park in Sector 2 if anyone would like to speak with me. I would be happy to talk with anyone at any time, even if it's just about the weather. Our talks will always be entirely confidential.

[ she offers a gentle smile here. ] And at least the weather today is nice. [ and that's all for the communicators.

as for action, she's going to be at the aforementioned park in sector 2 for the remainder of the day and open for anyone to stumble upon, planned or otherwise. also her permissions post is here! ]

	Reid and I were together. [She lifts the wrist still adorned with the warden-issued blue band.] He's gone. It's not that complicated. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Just because it isn't complicated doesn't mean it's easy to deal with. [ she understands. she remembers what it was like when will didn't meet her on risa that year, when he had been promoted and chose his career over pursuing a relationship with her. it wasn't the same situation, but both women had loved and lost. ]

Will that band remain on your wrist as long as you're here?

	[So not easy. The uneasiest. A nod.] It just changes color from here. Red if I deactivate it from Reid. Black if I break that rule without him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

And if he comes back?

[ she has to ask. for a lot of reasons. mostly because she has a feeling that's something kitty both wants and is afraid of. if it were will who had left, deanna knows she would feel the same. at least she would never have to worry about will forgetting her, but he might not remember what they've experienced here and that idea... well, it's a difficult one to swallow. ]

	If he comes back with his memories intact? I guess it'll still work. If he doesn't...I don't know. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

And it's difficult to tell which would be better. I understand it's hard to deal with. But... [ well, there's no good way to say it, so she'll just say it and let whatever repercussions happen along with it. ] But that doesn't mean you have to run from it.

[ because that is totally why kitty has run into her today, yep. she suspects it is why kitty didn't want to meet with her the other day, though. ]

And there's always a chance that he will return. With his memories.

	Trust me, I'm better at fighting than running. There's just no one to slice this time. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ that makes it difficult, too. deanna gives a sad sort of smile. ] I suppose asking you to talk further about it wouldn't be much help to you, would it? [ sometimes it is, but she has a feeling talking might only make kitty more upset. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I guess it could help me sharpen my deflection skills, but as you can see they're already pretty impressive. (Reply to this) (Parent)
