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?]

	Oh. [ silly elena. should have done this introduction thing so many replies ago. ] No. I'm Elena. I'm in Martha's body? [ she says it as a question. she's not sure if kitty knows martha. ] She has mine. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh! Right. Should have asked sooner. You did seem a little different, but I don't know her that well. How's that going? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	voice. matter 2014-04-22 12:27 am UTC (link)
	Just about as well as it could, I guess. [ there was the whole 'now martha's a vampire and know i'm one' thing but. ] What about you? [ also: ] Is Reid okay? Have you seen him? I mean - you know what I mean. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He's himself. So I guess he wins today. [She doesn't actually answer whether he's okay because that feels like a different matter entirely.] And I'm fine. I'll be happy if Ton doesn't phase my body into a wall today. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ it's entirely a different matter, it's true. she's talked to reid about how's he's been lately. it's part of why she's asking. but hearing he's at least not dealing with this too is a comfort. he doesn't need this on top of everything. elena nods. ] I hope he'll phase out of it too. [ she's getting the impression ton is not to be trusted. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That's the hope. My powers were kind of hard to manage when I first got them. Lots of falling through things on accident. I didn't merge into anything so maybe he won't either. And maybe my body remembers how to do it well enough that it's not a problem. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ like muscle memory. the idea gives elena some hope that martha might have more ease in controlling herself too, but most of elena's faith rests in martha's desire not to hurt anybody. she wouldn't want to, same as elena. ] When did you first get them? [ elena's curiosity strikes again! ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[She's quiet a moment.] I was thirteen when the headaches started. Mutant powers usually come with puberty. [It's strange to say this with Ton's voice.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ elena wonders what headaches have to do with it; if that was just something kitty suffered or if all mutants did. ] As if puberty's not hard enough. [ it's said dryly, but not without empathy. elena can't imagine what that must have felt like, how confusing and terrifying it must have been. (well, maybe she can. when she was turning, everything was harsh and difficult and disorienting. but she knew what was happening and she wasn't alone. kitty...) ] Did you have anyone? Your parents, or...? Did anyone help you?

	[It's how hers presented, but it wasn't the same for everyone by a long shot.] I couldn't tell them. Things had already started getting bad. People were terrified of the mutant menace. There were already attacks in New York. I just did my best to hide it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ kitty's answer has her lips pressing together. she looks down. ] But you did, didn't you? Find people like you, eventually? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	They found me. The first ones killed my parents. The next set had a happier ending. [You know, if resetting your timeline like it never existed shortly after your husband kills you is a happier ending. Close enough.] (Reply to this) (Parent)
