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's not wrong. He tries but lately it seems like the more he does, the harder it gets. Like they're only trying to recreate something that isn't there anymore because although they've had some good times since he came back — he's never denied that — they're so few and far between. Something else happens. Something else keeps her away or him up at night and the more it builds, the harder it gets to talk about it.

Maeve didn't help. Tyki certainly didn't. This, yesterday... he's scared that might've been the straw to break the camel's back. At least in their own bed, with the door closed, lights out, he could reach and often find his way back to that feeling he had before they sent him away. It helped a little, like ointment spread on a bad burn and he figured, as long as they could have that maybe it was just a matter of holding out until it healed better.

Yesterday, he didn't even feel safe in their own bed. Today, he's starting to think he might have to come to terms with some hard truths. ]

He needs us, Kitty. This can wait. [ A little longer. They don't have to have this conversation right now. ]

	I'm agreeing, okay? That was me agreeing. [Feeling more than a little stressed out. He said what happened yesterday wasn't her fault but she still feels like she's being punished for it. She's been feeling punished for awhile.] It's not too much further. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ That makes two of them. Pretty telling, isn't it? If this was working, they wouldn't be feeling this way. He falls silent, subconsciously lengthening his stride to get inside quicker. ] (Reply to this) (Parent)
