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?

[Ianto is out clearing his own head with some pointless walking himself. Yesterday was weird and he's still not sure if that's a good thing or not. He likes to hope so but either way he thinks he needs some space from Jack just now. He's rather wrapped up in his own thoughts, but not so much so that he doesn't immediately head for Kitty when he spots her and that look on her face.]

Everything alright?

	[Oh, that question again, but honestly? She's kind of glad to see Ianto. She hadn't really gotten to the point of seeking people out and she doesn't know who she would have hit up if she had, but his name would be on a list of potentials anyway.] I'm not on fire, so things could be worse. You? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Judging by your expression I suspect fire would be rather easier to deal with. What happened? [He rather expertly dodges her question because honestly he's not sure how he's doing this morning. A lot has happened recently and he feels like when he does catch up with him it will hit like a train. Until then he hasn't quite let it sink in yet.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2014-10-03 11:34 pm UTC (link)
	Lots of things. [She reaches in her pocket and finds a pack of cigarettes there, pulling it out and focusing her eyes on her hands and the pack instead of Ianto.] Most recently, Reid broke up with me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Is setting me on fire out? [She shakes her head.] Let's pretend I didn't even joke that. Bad taste right now. [After Nathan trying to kill himself.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Unfortunately it is. I can do coffee, if that's an acceptable substitute. [His go-to move in time of trouble.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2014-10-04 12:28 am UTC (link)
	Yeah, sure. I could do coffee. [A nod as she gets that cigarette she was playing with lit.] You get the part where I'll probably be even less charming than usual, right? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

It's alright, I'm not feeling particularly charming myself today. I think I used most of it up on the coffee offer. [Luckily for them he had barely made it out the door so it's not far to turn and head back towards his apartment. Equally luck Jack's gone out for the day; he finds he could rather use a change of company. So he offers her his arm as charmingly as he can and leads the way.]

	[That gets a flicker of a smile from her. Maybe because what he said was cute. Maybe misery just loves company. She slides the hand that isn't holding the cigarette into the crook of his arm.] It was a pretty good offer. Probably earned you a nap later and everything. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I could use one; I think Jack managed to crash into every piece of furniture we own when he came home last night so I got less sleep that I would have liked. [He opens the door to their flat for her. Don't worry, he cleaned up the furniture already.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2014-10-04 01:24 am UTC (link)
	Crashed? Was he drunk? Did you guys get hit too? [She pauses at the door.] Do you want me to put this out? [Indicating the cigarette.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	readystopwatch 2014-10-04 01:29 am UTC (link)
	Generally I would ask you to but you get a sympathetic open window today. And yes, he did. It was a younger version of him, just like what I heard happened to you. I believe he decided to enjoy the dome's night life. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Thanks. [She almost puts it out even with the offer, but it feels a little like a life line right now. She heads inside, crossing over to a window to open it herself.] You heard about that? [She wonders for a moment what was said about her that day, but she turns her attention back to the tales of Jack.]

That sounds...dangerous. Did he...um...? [There wasn't a message about a sex crime on the announcements today.]

Reid [Internal cringe. Perhaps he shouldn't have mentioned him?] made an announcement to the Defense Force to let us know and to see if it had happened to anyone else. So far it sounds as though only three of you went back in time. Everyone else who was affected seems to have been moved further along their timeline.

I didn't ask, but I don't think he did. We didn't, but that's all I can speak to. [Its more personal information than he normal feels comfortable talking about, and he regrets it a bit.]

	[She nods, and isn't going to be sharing it with anyone.] I hope he didn't wake up and threaten to kill you. That kind of thing ends badly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	readystopwatch 2014-10-04 01:55 am UTC (link)
	It's Jack. Do you really think that was the first thing on his mind when he woke up in bed with me? [And all the sudden his smile fades as he realizes what she actually meant. Oh, God.] Shit, I'm sorry. Is everyone alright? Are you alright? Is that why he..? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2014-10-04 02:01 am UTC (link)
	No, I guess he probably thought he hit the jackpot. Because he did. [She wishes she could have felt like that yesterday.] I didn't hurt him...physically. I wouldn't have unless I was sure I was in danger from him. He just seemed...sad. But I don't think it's why he left. Not all of why. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	readystopwatch 2014-10-04 02:09 am UTC (link)
	Do you want to talk about what happened? [Belatedly he remembers the offer of coffee and begins busying himself with making some. He's not always the best at giving advice but he's a good listener.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[She take a final deep inhale from the cigarette before stubbing it out on the outside of the building.] The part where I was telling him he couldn't be my boyfriend because I was happily married or the part where he was telling me I make everything worse and he can't do it anymore? [Too much. She takes a little extra time fussing with the window rather than looking at him for that.]

	readystopwatch 2014-10-04 02:17 am UTC (link)
	Either one of those sounds like a good place to start. [He sets their mugs down on the coffee table along with cream and sugar, and takes a seat.] He must have known not to let anything you said or did yesterday hurt him. It wasn't your fault. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2014-10-04 02:21 am UTC (link)
	[She heads over to sit by him.] Yeah, he said that too. And then it was over. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	So it wasn't because of yesterday? It was something else. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

You remember when disappeared, right? [You know, the last time she was heartbroken.] He came back from...

From being in love with someone else. They weren't together exactly. They didn't meet in person until he was trying to save her from a stalker. He watched her die.

The geneticist. [Not really important that she's a geneticist, but Reid mentioned it and it had stuck in her mind as she tried to picture the woman. The one he loved more than her without even holding her hand.]

[That gets a hug because what else can he do? Well it's more of an arm around her shoulders than a full blown hug but it stays there, comfortingly. It's the sort of thing Gwen would have done, the kind of thing she had done for him more times than he can count.]

That's horrible. For what happened to her and for how it had to affect you both. How long was it between that and when he got back?
