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?]

	I've never seen that side of him. I'm not saying that I think you're lying — I don't — but... I never would've guessed. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You said he's your friend. If you don't involve yourself with that side of things you'll probably never have to see it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Do you think I should talk to him? Or just... pretend like I don't know? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	locked; kitty_has_claws 2014-04-24 12:02 am UTC (link)
	He's not going to want to talk about this. [Suddenly feeling...bad that this discussion got this far. She doesn't want to take friends from him. She genuinely believes there are people he can enjoy and care for and never harm directly or indirectly. She didn't start out with that intention, but here they are.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	So pretend like this conversation never happened. Got it. [ A beat. ] He didn't seem to mind too much when I asked him about that guy he hurt, but... I don't want to push my luck. He's been a good friend. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Good... So, did we just have a long conversation about boys? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Doesn't look any better. [ Amused. ] And all it took was for you to take over a mans body. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm sure Ton will be glad to know he brought the girl out in me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He does have that effect on people... [ Heh. ] Hey, uh... could you maybe keep this between us? I don't want him to know that I've been... snooping. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I don't even know how I'd bring it up. [And wouldn't want to get his hopes up since she still seems undecided about what she wants.] ...Sorry about your Dad. [Hearing her boyfriend killed her Dad didn't slip by earlier.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ Undecided is a good word for it. She loves Ned. She really absolutely does but Ton is pretty great and he's here and he can touch her. The touching thing is big. That's a problem she'll never escape with Ned and a month without him around has given her some perspective. It was a little easier when they could continuously work on their relationship and the lack of touching was at least partially made up for in the form of compromises and clever contraptions.

How long can she really be satisfied with that? ]

Thank you. [ Little smile. ] Are your parents still around..?

	I'm sorry. [ And since they're bonding... ] I never knew my mom. She died when I was born. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It happens. [Not always because of you or all violently while you're there, but you know.] That sucks. [It's one thing to lose a person you love and another to lose out on ever knowing someone, but neither go down in the win column.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ She draws a long and shaky breath. Wow. Didn't expect this level of emotion out of Kitty of all people. ] Looks like a lot of us have been through some really rough times. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[She wouldn't have needed to wall herself off so well if she didn't have some really good reasons to do it. Those walls don't come cheap! And they're a mess when they start leaking and crumbling.] Yeah, well, sometimes I think that's how we get picked to be here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Then again maybe it's just that everyone has a story. [True enough where she's from.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Maybe... I guess being stuck with mostly the same people makes it easier to open up about stuff like that too. It's not like it's easy to hide. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	locked; kitty_has_claws 2014-04-24 11:23 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, ask the right people and you can find out just about anything. Like if someone's parts are all working. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ dsfkjhdf why would you. ] Yeah. Really regretting that one now. You won't tell him about that, will you? I mean, you said you wouldn't but... promise? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You know, that actually would make me feel a whole lot better. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Pass. But I'm still not planning to tell him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	...alright. I suppose that will do. Thank you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
