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?

	I hope so. [A little laugh.] We never really had time to fight back home. We were usually too busy saving the world to do much more than occasionally shag on his desk. It's different here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Yeah... I know exactly how that kind of relationship goes. I was just thinking what I wouldn't give for a little more crisis so I don't have all this time on my hands. [Or on her mind really. She will get her wish tomorrow, not that she realizes it!]

But... I do think you can get through it. The most important part is that no one stops trying. There's no fixing things if someone gives up.

	Agreed. Not that I'm complaining about how quiet this place can be, but it's a different dynamic than what we're used to. I don't know if I'll ever really get used to that. I think sometimes the danger makes it easier. The end of the world has a way of making personal problems seem a bit unimportant. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	And of making you hold on that much tighter to what you have. But I guess for some people the fear of losing something is worse than actually losing it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I don't think that's something I've ever really worried about. Before we got here things were so casual between us losing him didn't have quite the same ramifications for our relationship. And in any case, even before I knew how I was going to die that was a part of it, too. He's going to live forever, I'm not, and we have a dangerous job. We're always going to lose each other.

That part about holding on too tight was from personal experience, I take it?

	I didn't say too tight. I just said tight. [Was it too tight? Is that why...?] But, yeah, I was married back home. Probably too fast and way too young, but you never knew how long you had. 19 years as it turned out plus extra time in prison for bad behavior. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	readystopwatch 2014-10-07 07:41 pm UTC (link)
	Seems like a lot of people are living on extra time here. [A sad smile.] That's the reason things have gotten more serious between me and Jack here. He lost me already and I suppose this is a bit of a second chance for him. Maybe Reid will see sense about that, too. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2014-10-07 07:45 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah... Or maybe he'll be right and everything will be easier without me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	readystopwatch 2014-10-07 07:53 pm UTC (link)
	I don't believe that's the case, and you shouldn't, either. Give him time, but don't give up on him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2014-10-07 08:01 pm UTC (link)
	What am I supposed to wish for here? That he comes back so that next time something's wrong he can do this to me again? That he doesn't get to feel better so that he'll know he was wrong? ...Maybe I'm just not the right girl for him. Maybe she was. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	readystopwatch 2014-10-07 08:22 pm UTC (link)
	I think you're the only one who can answer any of those questions. I don't exactly have a stellar track record with relationships. But it's obvious that you still love him. No matter what happens I don't think you're ready to give up on him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2014-10-07 08:24 pm UTC (link)
	[Nodding.] I still love him. [She can't even be mad at him for it...much. Maybe that's why she's turning on herself instead.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	readystopwatch 2014-10-07 08:35 pm UTC (link)
	Then I don't think I'm going to be able to give you advice or help any better than what you can give yourself. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2014-10-07 08:39 pm UTC (link)
	It's just...my first time with someone breaking up with me I guess. [She and Piotr were broken up by the wardens or they're still together, but she made it as clear as she could to Reid that things were over with him even if he did arrive. Whether he ever believe that who knows. And she broke up with Tyki...twice. Once with fire.] I'm sorry Jack's been a jerk. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	readystopwatch 2014-10-07 09:32 pm UTC (link)
	I'm sorry Reid's being a jerk. Maybe there's something going around. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2014-10-07 09:37 pm UTC (link)
	Could be. Maybe they'll hook up and then we can run away together. ...To an adjoining sector. We won't have to worry about much actual running. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	readystopwatch 2014-10-07 10:03 pm UTC (link)
	Well you're not exactly my type but I suppose I could make an exception. [There's the usual dry Ianto sarcasm.] Don't suggest it to Jack, though. He might take you seriously. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2014-10-08 01:16 am UTC (link)
	I'm honored that I could get a potential exception and I really don't think you'd have to worry about Jack and Reid. At least not the Reid part of it. (Reply to this) (Parent)
