Day 292 — Octonado mingle!
[Thunderbolt and lightning—very, very frightening.

Take cover, take shelter, take heart. You'll need to take everything you can just to make it through today with so few areas really being safe.]

(OOC: DETAILS here. Mingle out and about in the rapidly changing elements or cozy in one of the shelters.)

	Whatever you need to tell yourself to make it through the day. [Rain starts coming down on them in sheets.] Want to take this inside? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Lead the way, umbrella. [It doesn't do much to impart his vision since he can't exactly get rain in his mechanical eye, so he moves upwind and does his best to block her from most of the rain.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

It seems I've given myself a regrettable nickname. [Phasing them again so they can move through a wall and into what looks to be one of the empty storefronts not yet fulfilling it's store-glory. Just bare walls and empty shelves and largely dark except when the lightning brightens things up for a moment. The sun will help too if they manage to see it again sometime soon.] Were you on your way somewhere?

	I'm going to use it all the time now. [The phasing isn't so unnerving now that he's expecting it.] Figured I'd go see if anyone needed help. You? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2014-10-06 08:25 pm UTC (link)
	Same. [She closes her eyes for a moment—concentrating and then suddenly there is a splash of water at her feet as those molecules fall away from the rest of her body. She smirks and opens her eyes.] Now tell me umbrellas have something on me. [Not that he's in drier though.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	wraith_7 2014-10-06 08:35 pm UTC (link)
	They do. I'm still wet. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I guess that's what you get for your lack of faith in me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	wraith_7 2014-10-06 08:47 pm UTC (link)
	No, it's what I get for going out in the rain. [He shakes himself as dry as he can and peers out the window.] Looks like we're stuck here for now. If this place floods and we drown I'm blaming you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2014-10-06 08:53 pm UTC (link)
	I'm not drowning today. I can't speak for you. [Smirking as she gazes outside.] Makes you wonder why they even need to produce a tornado in a closed system like this. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	wraith_7 2014-10-06 08:55 pm UTC (link)
	Why did they need to send us back in time two days ago? I've stopped questioning these things. [Still staring out at the storm he asks,] How are you doing, by the way? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2014-10-06 09:00 pm UTC (link)
	Dry. [More smirking.] Jealous? How are you? Did you get any inappropriate suctioning from one of those things? [The girl loves a good distracting crisis. It takes her mind off Reid and that's really all the pearl needed to get a nice strong foothold on the happy it's been trying to farm from her.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	wraith_7 2014-10-06 09:06 pm UTC (link)
	You know perfectly well I would be bragging about it if I had. Anyway you know that's not what I mean. [A beat, because he knows the subject he's going to bring up is depressing, then,] I talked to Reid last night. He helped me out of a pretty tough spot, actually. So how are you actually doing? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2014-10-06 09:11 pm UTC (link)
	[She figured he was just asking about the time shift. They'd spoken after all. She didn't know he'd already know about the break up. The smile drops and her gaze shifts back out the window.] Mr. Gives Up on People helped you out of a tough spot? Are you sure it was the same guy? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	wraith_7 2014-10-06 09:14 pm UTC (link)
	For the record I was planning on making his life miserable on your behalf before he talked me down off a roof last night so now the most I can promise is two solid pranks and extra sarcasm on your behalf. If it helps I get the impression if he's giving up on anyone it's himself, not you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2014-10-06 09:17 pm UTC (link)
	Talked you down... What were you going to do? [And some poor oyster goes back to starving. Kitty grips his arms and looks at him squarely.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	wraith_7 2014-10-06 09:20 pm UTC (link)
	Not important, you subject changer. We do your problems first then we do mine since I asked first so there. [Beat that logic, Kitty!] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2014-10-06 09:25 pm UTC (link)
	He broke my heart, and I've never felt this broken in my life, but I wasn't about to plummet to my death. [She did anonymously admit to wanting to go home last night and she felt like she meant it at the time and that's pretty close to the same thing as wanting to die, but details, details.] Now, talk! [So help her, she will shake you.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[He has just enough of a lingering hangover that he will do anything to avoid said shaking.] I didn't handle the whole transformation thing well and got really drunk and depressed and he said somethings that helped me out. And for the record the only thing that plummeted was when he threw my alcohol off the roof.

Your turn again. Elaborate. I heard his side of the story, I want yours.

	I was a little worried about how you were going to take that. [And if anything had been different that day she would have called. She relaxes a little.] What side, Ton? I didn't want this. I miss him and I want him back but it's over. That's my side. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

About as well as you'd expect, yeah.

I meant more feelings and sharing and caring but I'll take that, too. [Last night it had been easy enough to agree with Reid about why he had made his decision but it's a lot harder to do that now. He remembers how broken up she was when he left.] He seems to think he's doing the right thing. Not taking sides, before you stab me or something. Just saying.

	kitty_has_claws 2014-10-06 10:07 pm UTC (link)
	It's the right thing if he doesn't want me. [It's a good thing that thunder hides voice cracking nicely.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	wraith_7 2014-10-06 10:28 pm UTC (link)
	I think he wants you, and not just because he'd be an idiot not to. There's no way he'd be as upset about it as he was last night if he didn't regret it in some way. I think he wants to take time to get over what happened while he was home. I'm not really one to lecture on mental health or dealing with traumatic events well, after all. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2014-10-06 10:34 pm UTC (link)
	He told me I make everything worse. [She can even hear him saying it. She heard it a lot last night.] I don't want to do this. Can't we just appreciate that wardens are trying to destroy us? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	wraith_7 2014-10-06 10:47 pm UTC (link)
	I didn't know he said that. [A little bit of the good feelings Reid earned himself last night evaporate at that.] I mean, we both went through lots of giant emotional things in the past few days and we're friends and we're trapped somewhere and its a good time to talk but sure whatever if that's what you want.

I don't know if he meant it to sound as harsh as it does. He probably just wanted me to give up with him. I've been fighting for us ever since he got back and he's been trying to give up.

[She presses her forehead to the window. It's cool, kind of refreshing. It helps...and then it is cold—very cold. She leans back in time to see the whole thing frost over.]

Talk to me about you. And maybe further inside the room so you don't freeze up.
