Day 291 [Action:Closed] [Action:Open] [Video:Private]
[Action | Closed Reid]
[She wakes up on the floating island with the blaring and vibrating of the giant speakers below her. She can't really process the message, and as it turns out that doesn't really matter to her at the moment because everything that happened yesterday is taking on a whole new context. She threatened Reid. She threatened Reid. He looked so hurt. So did Nathan. She reaches up to call him only to remember she left her communicator by the bed. She'll just have to get there herself then. Without another moment's delay she phases, dropping right through the island and getting herself to the apartment as fast as she can.]

Reid! Nathan!? [Calling out their names as soon as she drops in through the ceiling of the kitchen as it turns out.]

[Action | Open (After the breakup)]
[Nathan is still in the hospital. Reid is...wherever he went. The apartment is all hers at the moment and she has no intention of going back there until she's too exhausted to be awake long for it. She's not sure if she wants to avoid people or be with them, so for now she's just walking without paying much attention to where that takes her.]

[Video | Private to Data]
Data? You there?

	[ She does stop him. Temporarily. ] Kitty, if I'm right then Nathan tried to commit suicide last night and that one is on me. Deanna warned me and I didn't take it seriously enough. So unless you have something more important to talk about right now? I'd really like to get going. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[That pretty effectively puts her off of what she wants to say. She releases her hold on him.] It's not on you. [She continues walking.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2014-09-29 07:54 pm UTC (link)
	Then who? [ There's a crack in his voice. A small one. Enough to show that he's about as far from okay as he can be right now without actually breaking. ] Who, Kitty? Because I was there the first time around. I should've been paying closer attention to him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2014-09-29 08:03 pm UTC (link)
	My first choice is no one. [Or Nathan, but she doesn't say it.] But if you really want to divide some blame I was a jerk to him yesterday. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2014-09-29 09:00 pm UTC (link)
	He's mentally ill, I doubt whatever you said to him had that much of an impact. [ Or... ] What happened? He told me you met. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2014-09-29 09:03 pm UTC (link)
	Right, which is also what makes it not your fault. I don't know. He said he lived with us. I thought it was strange. I didn't get how he fit in to whatever story they were trying to sell me on. [Throat clearing.] There was something about a threesome too. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2014-09-29 09:04 pm UTC (link)
	I never said that I caused it, just that I could've prevented it. [ Totally different thing and where her begging didn't make him stop, that statement does. ] What? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2014-09-29 09:08 pm UTC (link)
	I wasn't suggesting it. But yeah, I probably made him feel unwelcome. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Groan. ] Okay... okay. That made no sense but then again, what does. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2014-09-29 09:12 pm UTC (link)
	It made as much sense as anything did for me yesterday. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2014-09-29 09:13 pm UTC (link)
	Did anything else happen that I should know about? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2014-09-29 09:22 pm UTC (link)
	I ran into Aidan and he said Euphie had stabbed him. I saw Ton too. [So she's worried about how he's handling today.] But, no, I spent most of the day exhausting myself trying to phase through everything. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2014-09-29 09:27 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah... I heard about Euphie. Talked to Ton too, he didn't seem to understand who I was and why I was sending him private messages. [ Your boy was busy. ] Are you feeling okay today? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

You sent him private messages?

[She looks over at him.] I woke up on the floating island, realized I'd threatened to kill the person I most love and want to protect, and heard that Nathan was in the hospital before I could even apologize or remind him how much I love him. So, you know, I've felt better. [But the pearl means she probably should be feeling a lot worse too.]

	Someone had to organize the Defence Force, with you and Jack out of commission. [ So technically he sent half the dome private messages. ] ...It's not your fault. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

No, but...it was awful. [Looking at him. Eye to eye even if he'll meet hers.] I do love you. So much. I even felt bad yesterday, but I thought I was in danger. I'm sorry.

[She reaches for his hand again, though not to phase him.] Thank you for looking after the force. [She hasn't had time to check her communicator so she doesn't even know there was a message screened from her for the others.]

[ He does meet her eyes. It's a fragile, flickering kind of glance but a glance nonetheless, lingering as long as he's able. This time he doesn't pull away his hand, even if the hold is tentative. No antlers on his head and yet he's never felt more like a gun shy deer ready to sprint. ]

You don't have to explain. I get it. [ He swallows. ] I'm just glad you didn't let go.

[ Never been afraid of her before, but now? Now he's not so sure. ]

	Never letting go when it comes to you. [She doesn't just mean the hairbrush. She squeezes his hand a little. She knows she could have killed him yesterday. It wasn't something she wanted to do, but it was something she was prepared to do. It didn't come that close, but it was still way too close.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I guess that's not always going to be up to us.

[ And after Maeve, after this it has never been more clear how fragile they really are. Before he genuinely thought that nothing could touch them and then something did and he's still struggling to regain his grip even a little. It can happen so fast, from one day to the next. She could've killed him. He could wake up tomorrow and be married with two kids.

Nothing is safe. ]

	It's up to us today. [She rubs her thumb over his hand.] Don't spend all your time looking at the good stuff as stuff you might lose. I don't just mean us. It's no way to go through life. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2014-09-30 07:51 am UTC (link)
	It's not like I'm making this up in my head, Kitty. [ Quietly. ] I can't think of anything. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2014-09-30 10:51 pm UTC (link)
	You can't think of anything good in your life? [Are things really that bad for him?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2014-09-30 10:59 pm UTC (link)
	I can't think of anything good that I haven't already lost. [ So, worse. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2014-09-30 11:03 pm UTC (link)
	I'm back. I'm yours. I'll wear a "I'm with the genius" t-shirt if you want me to, Reid. And you've got the memories. Not everything lasts forever. Not everything is even supposed to. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2014-09-30 11:10 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, I do have the memories. Of... of waking up with a hairbrush in my chest or Maeve's blood on the floor or Nathan's blood on my hands. I don't care about forever. I would happily settle for a little while. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
