Day 311 [Action/Open] [Video/Closed]
[Action \ Open]
[Kitty is standing in a clothing store in Sector 4, trying not to freak out. She doesn't understand how it's possible, but she woke up decidedly pregnant ~~or at least her reflection did.~~ Not so much that it looks like she's giving birth any second, but more than enough to know it's not just that burrito from last night.

Shockingly, the prison clothing store does not carry maternity wear, but she needs something to...hide it. Until she can figure this out.

And eventually she'll have to leave the store, so there might be some attempts at stealth mode getting back to the apartment. Is it safe to airwalk through tree limbs while pregnant? Watch out for occasional falling leaves when she solidifies for a break.]

[Voice \ Closed to Reid]
Reid, I... Um, sorry, wrong number. [Such a good cover when you say his name.]

[Video \ Closed to Ton and Alex]
[Keeping it nice and steady on just her face. No full body shots for you yet!] I think I might need a doctor.

	[She should probably reply with words, but just replying with her mouth is close enough, right? She moves in to kiss him. It's been an emotional day from thinking she might be having his baby to hearing that he still wants her to go back with him. It could be said she's not thinking straight, but she's just not really thinking. Just feeling.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ Close, but also terrible. Or not terrible, just ill-advised and as much as he's enjoying the kiss (spark of butterflies and all) he knows that this isn't the time for it. Too many emotions in the air. Last time they got caught up like this it went too far and then, not long after, he had to retreat. It's too fragile a situation to do that again and even though he doesn't shy away from the kiss, he does keep it light and eventually let it taper off into a nuzzle. ]

	I still want to. [And a pause for more ill-advised disclaimers to follow.] If it's to be with you. [She doesn't think she'd fit in to his world, but that doesn't matter if they're together. If they're not... But it's not a decision that has to be made today. Not unless a big door to homeworlds opens up.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Ah. That's... yeah, that's not something they need to discuss right now. She knows how complicated it is and he can't bear to break her heart all over again when she's this emotionally fragile. Not today. Instead he just leans in, wrapping his arms tighter around her. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[She hears the lack of a verbal response pretty loudly there, but she tries not to think about it too much. It's just timing, right? She can't jump too far forward...or backward. He needs time. And no amount of waking up falsely thinking they might be starting a family has changed that. She just holds on.] Pavel made me that offer too. [The one where it's a world, and not a future.]

He's a nice guy for someone who looks like a budding serial killer. [Going on mostly just because she's not sure why she said anything in the first place. Maybe just to break the silence of what he wasn't saying.]

[ Ah yes. A potential shift in topic. That would be good right about now, seeing as he has no idea how he's feeling about all this. He wants her with him, but he can't guarantee anything but at the same time he definitely felt a sting of jealousy at her going somewhere else. ]

Right? It's... weird, isn't it. How much they look alike. [ They've talked about this before, but it still feels safer than anything else they could talk about. ]

	[She'd kind of like it if she knew he had a pang of jealousy. Not that she wants to make him jealous and there isn't anything to be jealous about, but it's nice there's that wanting in him for her.] So weird. I think the accent helps. [Of course it also makes it weird for her in an ex-husband kind of way, but he's also noooothing like Piotr.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yeah... I don't really feel at risk of actually mistaking them for one another but still. Face twins. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Makes me kind of glad other me is a little different looking. [Younger. Longer hair. Different style for sure.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I wonder how many doubles we've had by now. Surface and otherwise. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2015-03-28 08:57 pm UTC (link)
	Even one feels like a lot. And I had at least two here and heard of a couple others. ...There might even be one of me back where you're from. [Which is not the first time they've discussed that.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2015-03-29 05:54 pm UTC (link)
	[ Not the first time. It felt like a less loaded subject last time tho. ] Theoretically... I guess so? It's difficult to check from here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2015-03-29 09:24 pm UTC (link)
	[Everything feels more loaded when the conversation started with "I'm pregnant, but not."] Yeah, they don't give us a lot of access to our homeworlds, do they? And when they do it's not always welcome. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2015-03-31 03:07 pm UTC (link)
	More like... none. Even when people we know show up here, whose to say what they've experienced is the same for us? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2015-03-31 09:52 pm UTC (link)
	I was thinking more like when people... [No way to do this without it being loaded probably.] get new memories. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Ah. There we are. A thing he can't gently deflect. ] ...I wouldn't call that contact with home. It's too cruel for that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2015-04-05 03:22 pm UTC (link)
	Sometimes home is cruel. But...yeah. [Can't disagree that it's cruel. Really, really cruel.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

It's... it's not even that. [ He sighs. Guess they're talking about this. ] At home, we have a chance to deal. To... to move on, to adjust. Cope. They don't do that here.

I spent months not being able to talk to Emily after she came back from Europe. [ From death. ] Derek thought she was dead much longer than he would've back home. It's... cruel, not letting us finish.

	I'm sure it's different when they just pull you out before you die. Nothing left to finish. [There was a lot left to finish, but she wouldn't have been able to do it at home either. She couldn't talk or fight with Piotr about what he did. She couldn't mourn her students in the same world that took them. She had to figure it all out here.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2015-04-09 02:01 pm UTC (link)
	I guess. [ Is there any way they can make this more depressing? He doubts it. ] Even so... I don't think it's entirely different. (Reply to this) (Parent)
