272 // open dreams
[ Option one: UnSub of the Week. ]

[ You’re hunted. Maybe you really did something, or perhaps you’re falsely accused but whatever happened, they’re on to you. The FBI is closing in. They know where you live, big black vans swarming like bluebottle flies outside the building, men and women in dark blue flak vests filing in, weapons at the ready. They’re on to you.

The soft footsteps of worn sneakers are coming closer in the hallway. They’re on to you. They’re almost here. ]

[ Option two: Compulsion to Move ]

[ You find yourself in a loft apartment. It’s dimly lit, shadows concealing most of the furniture aside from a lit circle in the middle of the floor. Two chairs pulled up, facing each other. Perhaps you’re tied to one of them, or maybe you’re just a bystander. Whichever you are, Reid is sitting in the other. Hands tied behind his back, blindfold fastened over his eyes.

Whatever is happening, it’s clear you’re not alone. ]

[ Option three: Phantasmagoria ]

[ The room is warmly lit, a deep golden sunshine filtering in from the tall windows, glistening off the leeches that are slowly and endlessly seeping out of the walls. Sawdust is flickering through the air, catching the light and piling onto the floor in soft, golden mounds, rippled like sand dunes around the electric chair that stands in the middle of the room.

There’s someone sitting in it, zipped up in a body bag. Slight movement reveals that it’s not a corpse. Aside from this, the room remains still and calm. ]

	You can't pause a movie half-way through, huh? Are you ready to continue? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Hesitating.] I'm not as sure that I am as I was back then. Will it keep getting better? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That's what they say, but... I guess we'll never know if we don't continue moving. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I guess not. Just another minute? [Squeezing his hand.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Another minute can't hurt. [ He squeezes back but dreams are hard to control and little by little the surroundings begin to shift, vibrating like air on a hot day. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[A minute can hurt. A minute can be all the difference between a having a future or not. In this case less than a minute took them from one of their best breakthrough dates to a very hard memory in his very recent past—one she didn't share with him then, but she's sharing it now. They aren't holding hands anymore. Her blindfold is in place and her bindings are secure enough. She struggles against them. It doesn't feel like professional work to her, but she only has so much experience escaping things like this the old-fashioned way. After all, she should be able to slip her molecules between those of the ropes and they would fall away harmlessly, but that isn't happening right now. She's trapped.]

	[ He can hear her move, mind wiped clean of their ferris wheel moment as if it never happened and in this dreamscape, maybe it never did. He doesn't think anything is weird, out of place, changed because he knows exactly why he's here — me for her. He shifts in his seat. Swallows. Finally tries his voice with a tremble. ] Hello..?

	kitty_has_claws 2014-05-26 05:00 am UTC (link)
	[She stops pulling when she hears the familiar voice.] Reid? I'm restrained. [It's almost silly that she says it. If he's just saying hello questioningly then he can't be free and sighted either can he?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2014-05-26 04:18 pm UTC (link)
	[ And just like that his heart stops, cold dread filling his chest cavity. She's still here. She's still in danger. ] Kitty... [ No no no no. ] Diane. Please... let her go. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2014-05-26 07:59 pm UTC (link)
	Diane? What's going on? [She needs to work on these ropes. Just because she can't phase doesn't mean she can't get out. Focus, Pryde!] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2014-05-26 08:22 pm UTC (link)
	[ There's the sound of someone talking, but it all comes out as gibberish, as a swarm of flies. ] I told you... me for her. You don't need her. You got me... that's what you wanted, wasn't it? You don't need to keep her here. [ The third person in the room — Diane — moves towards Kitty, yanking the blindfold off her eyes. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[No... No. She knows what this is now. She knows it even before the cloth comes off and she can see him sitting across from her.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ If she pays attention to Diane, she'll notice that it's not just her voice that's obscured. The edges are blurry. Glitchy, face a black mess as if someone took a sharpie to a particularly unflattering photo. She speaks with a mouth full of wings again, this time sliding up behind Reid to remove his blindfold. Waits for a reaction that'll allow her to put a bloody end to this.

He in turn stares back at Kitty. Eyes widened and pulse so rapid you can all but see it under his skin, trembling away. No words, just a painful swallow. Like broken glass and barbed wire. ]

	[It should seem stranger the way Diane is blacked out, but somehow it feels natural enough. As natural as anything here. Her focus is on Reid first and foremost after all.] It's okay... [It isn't, but he looks so afraid.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2014-05-28 10:30 am UTC (link)
	[ He is afraid. Terrified, to breathe or talk or even look at her. Still, his eyes linger, wide and worried as Diane slides behind him like mist, fingers reaching down to pop buttons. Hand sliding in underneath to caress his chest in a disgustingly sensual way, lips so close to his ear that he can't hear for all the buzzing. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Her eyes fall from his to that hand and the way it's touching her Reid. It isn't jealousy. It's anger. A protective instinct rooted deep inside her. This isn't what Reid wants and she starts rocking the chair back and forth, wanting it to break and give her a shot at freedom.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2014-05-29 12:13 pm UTC (link)
	[ And then there's the gun. In vivid detail and carelessly held, pointing at Kitty. In a flash the darkness falls off Diane's face, unveiling crazed eyes and a sneer. ] Don't make me shoot you, whore! [ Reid moves, pulling her attention back. ] Don't... she's not important. You have me. See? You have me. You have what you wanted, you can let her go. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2014-05-29 11:55 pm UTC (link)
	[Diane is strangely familiar. Very much so, but the source doesn't register just now.] You're going to have to do better than that if you really want to be insulting. [Chair was annoyingly sturdy. She doesn't really like her attention drawn back to Reid either though.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2014-05-30 07:17 am UTC (link)
	[ Then she's really not going to like what comes next. The way Diane ignores her in favor for straddling Reid's lap, pressing in close and forcing him into a sloppy kiss, hand gripping his hair roughly. Grinding down with the same feverish, maddened desire that isn't really about Reid, but rather Kitty. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2014-06-01 08:44 pm UTC (link)
	[That is definitely more insulting.] You're going to die. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2014-06-02 03:26 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah? Who's the one with the gun, bitch? [ Diane peels herself off Reid in that moment, turning to Kitty. Stepping in close, gun carelessly aimed, safety off. Eyes reflecting the maddening desperation of someone who will without a doubt pull that trigger at the slightest disturbance. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2014-06-02 03:35 pm UTC (link)
	Oh, pick me. I know this one. It's the crazy lady who thinks it gives her power. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2014-06-02 04:02 pm UTC (link)
	Shut up! [ Gun pressed firmly to Kitty's head now. Phase yourself out of this one, if you can. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2014-06-02 04:12 pm UTC (link)
	Killing people doesn't make you powerful. It doesn't make you better. It doesn't make you right. It's easy and pathetic. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2014-06-02 04:15 pm UTC (link)
	But it does make you dead. That's the only thing I want. You got everything else, little miss... perfect. [ She spits the word out, frazzled. ] Well, you're not getting everything you want anymore. Not this time. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
