Day 268 [Open — voice & action] [Closed video & voice]
[It was the heaviness Kitty noticed first before her eyes were even open. At least waking up in Ton Phanan's body is a pretty good distraction against the pain she normally feels when she wakes up to find Reid went out to sleep on the couch again or even that thread of panic she tries to deny where she fears maybe he disappeared again instead. But this morning is all about figuring out what's going on and damage control. She starts by listening to the vague daypost.]

[Video | Private to Ton]
Stop touching my boobs. [The voice sounds and feels very wrong to her. She even clears her throat, but it doesn't change anything.]

[Voice | Private to Reid]
Hey. We have a situation. [She keeps her voice low since he's likely in the next room. She really wishes these things would text suddenly.]

[And a little later...]

[Voice | Open to everyone]
You've probably already noticed something strange going on. I want to get a head count here. Who is affected? Who isn't? Anyone in danger with this? Let me know and we can get the force working on it.

Oh, and this isn't Ton.

[Action | Open]
[It takes awhile before she's ready to test the new body out elsewhere but she isn't going to stay cooped up all day either. There's bound to be some chaos and she needs to do what she can...without her powers. And why are his wrists too large for her claws?]

	[She can't think of a mutant power that was exactly like that, but to her way of thinking it's not that hard to follow.] Making Ned the boyfriend. Dangerous boyfriend. Hard to ignore being able to be touched. You kind of forget how important it is until you get a reminder. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Did I mention that Ned is the only boyfriend I've ever had? Before those pervy robots came around, I'd only been kissed once... when I was eight. [ Wow it's nice to just spew emotions at someone, even if she usually doesn't really like Kitty. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	If you're looking for permission only you can give that to yourself. This situation? Being trapped away from people we love sucks. But it's the situation we're in. I know I'm better in living in the now and what is than in the future and what might be. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm not really looking for permission. [ Or is she? She asked Jack the same thing not long ago. ] I love Ned. I do. What kind of girlfriend would I be if I betrayed that just because he's not here? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	A bad one I guess. At least you aren't married. [Because if you think you feel guilty about it now... Also cigarette cravings are not just the muscle memory habits or nicotine withdraw, but she won't do that to Ton.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You were married? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	locked; kitty_has_claws 2014-04-23 09:51 pm UTC (link)
	I didn't say I... [Doesn't really matter.] Yeah. I was married. I didn't take it very well when I found out he killed me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Wow. [ Yes, wow. ] Ned killed my dad. He didn't mean to, but he did. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Piotr didn't mean to kill me. And it's not like it happened exactly. Here I am. Things were in a bad place and I couldn't really talk to him or yell at him about any of it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Sounds like you know what I'm going through, then. More or less. [ Close enough. Closer than she ever expected with Kitty. ] You're with that guy, right? Who does the criminology classes? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Reid. Yeah. I am. There was a less healthy relationship in there too. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	So how did you know when it was time to do something... different? Stop waiting, I guess. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	locked; kitty_has_claws 2014-04-23 10:32 pm UTC (link)
	I...didn't. Exactly. I was hurt and angry about my death and the deaths he...contributed to [by not actually going back to save their students and not letting her go back either.] And feeling very alone. So things with Tyki just happened. There wasn't a lot of thinking or searching my emotions. I mostly just wanted to feel something else. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	...Why would he tell you? [Suddenly wondering what kind of relationship they have. She figured the lady just made the pies. He didn't seem overly close to Sasha when she cooked there.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Because we're friends. That's exactly the sort of things friends should tell each other. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	locked; kitty_has_claws 2014-04-23 11:02 pm UTC (link)
	If he's your friend you've probably noticed he isn't big on giving out a lot of information or details. He's not always good with doing things that friends do or boyfriends do. [But sometimes he is.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I guess... I mean, I suppose it hasn't really come up. [ Tho come to think of it, he doesn't say much. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He's especially not chatty about stuff like that. But yeah, we were together for awhile. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

It...

[She sighs a little.] It wasn't all bad. Some of it was really good. [Some of it still is.]

Do you know the story of the turtle who gives the scorpion the ride across the water? The turtle asks how he knows the scorpion won't sting him and the scorpion answers back that if he did that they'd both drown. So the turtle agrees and half way across the water the scorpion stings the turtle. The turtle asks why he'd do that since now they'll both drown and the scorpion says, because it's in my nature.

Tyki is a lot like that scorpion. Sometimes he just has to do the wrong thing even when it's bad for him too.

	[ There's a stretch of silence as she takes that in. There's no protest or defence, just quiet soaking in this new piece of information and the fact that there hasn't been a single word of caution coming with it makes it hit a lot harder. It fits. Or rather, it doesn't seem out of place. ] Sam told me that... that he hurt someone? [ Mildly put. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	locked; kitty_has_claws 2014-04-23 11:35 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah. That's how it ended. [The second time it ended, but the first was also because he tried to hurt someone and the second one is the one that really ended it anyway.] I mean, I always knew what he was. What he was capable of, but he's more than that too. He just doesn't always want to be more than that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
