Day 357 — Body/Mind Swap Mingle
[Everything may be a bit topsy turvy today. Maybe you lost your head. Maybe you lost everything else. Or maybe you're perfectly you and it's just your friends and neighbors who don't make any sense.

Good luck going out and about to figure out your new surroundings.]

	[She kind of wants to hug him but that's the worst idea ever had in the history of ideas.] I can go. [She just doesn't want to start doing that without him knowing what she's doing.] But is there someone I can call to hang out with you? Jack? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	No! [Deep breath. No need to sound hysterical. It's alright, it's Kitty. Anything else is just him not being able to control himself.] No, sorry, you're fine I just... [He runs a hand shakily across his face.] I hate this. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's okay. Whatever you're feeling—it's okay. [She's spent so much of her life being hated and feared, but this only bothers her in wishing she could comfort him better. She knows it's not about her.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Doesn't mean I have to like feeling it. [He's lived through enough traumatic things in his life to know how he reacts, to know he'll never really get over watching Tyki methodically disassemble his body. It's like Canary Warf, one of those things he does his best to shove under the surface and not think about because otherwise it hurts too much. That doesn't mean he can't still have nightmares about it or stay away from Chuck's refurbished restaurant or freeze up when he's stuck staring at the face he associates with being so scared and hurt and alone.]

Sorry, I'm not trying to... I know this must be just as bad for you.

	I think we can agree this sucks for both of us. [She's definitely more worried about him, but that may shift a bit as she realizes more about this body's ability to influence. Can't have the powers without the noah. Silly Kitty. But for right now she's calm, controlled, and focused on helping Ianto through this any way she can.] But he hurt us in different ways.

	Are you doing alright? [This has to be strange for her. For a lot of reasons. If he doesn't quite look at her face - Tyki's face - at least he can carry out a normal sort of conversation. Just concentrate, pretend it's just Kitty and try not to freak out.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-01-06 04:37 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, it's easier when I just focus on watching out for the other people he hurt instead of thinking about it too much. [But going out wasn't really for them. It was for her to avoid it, but you can't avoid your own skin.] Just getting to tomorrow when I can be...less of a monster again. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	readystopwatch 2016-01-06 05:21 pm UTC (link)
	I didn't think they could bring in people who weren't here anymore. You shouldn't have to worry about avoiding me, it's not your fault. [How do you act normal around a friend when this is happening?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-01-06 05:45 pm UTC (link)
	I don't know. Why not? He's offline, but his body is still in that room. [Okay, probably not what you wanted to hear.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	readystopwatch 2016-01-06 05:55 pm UTC (link)
	[No, it's not particularly something he wants to hear since it is something he thinks of from time to time. Not that he has panicked thoughts of Tyki somehow waking up and getting out there, having access to all of them in their pods.] I've spent a lot of time lately wondering just how many of these things are on purpose or random. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-01-06 06:36 pm UTC (link)
	Doesn't feel like me inside Tyki could be random. I think they give us just enough random to keep us from finding patterns. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	readystopwatch 2016-01-06 07:27 pm UTC (link)
	No, it doesn't. [Any other time he'd hug her or make her coffee or something but he can't. He can hold it together and have a conversation and that's it. Anything more and he's going to lose it and start to panic.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-01-06 08:22 pm UTC (link)
	I wonder if it's random we ran into each other. [But that would be harder for them to control, right?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	readystopwatch 2016-01-07 12:29 pm UTC (link)
	Probably just bad luck. I thought it would be best to do everything like normal today. [And speaking of not normal and things Kitty should probably know.] Jack's in Reid's body, by the way. If you hadn't heard already. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-01-07 04:50 pm UTC (link)
	I know. He yelled at me for existing. We threatened each other. It was good times. [There's a little smile.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	readystopwatch 2016-01-07 08:17 pm UTC (link)
	I hope you mean he threatened that body, not you personally. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-01-07 08:20 pm UTC (link)
	I do. He didn't believe me when I said I was Kitty at first and I could tell I wasn't talking to Reid, so I got protective of him. It all worked out. I just wasn't the face he wanted to see either. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	readystopwatch 2016-01-07 08:22 pm UTC (link)
	I wish I could say I was surprised. At least he didn't punch first and ask questions later. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-01-07 08:28 pm UTC (link)
	You really think Jack in Reid's body can take me in Tyki's body? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	readystopwatch 2016-01-08 12:05 pm UTC (link)
	I told him I didn't want him going anywhere near Tyki! [Its a little sharper, with a touch more panic than it needs to be. But he can't help it. Jack hadn't known who it was and had tried to pick a fight when all Ianto wanted was for them to stay as far away from Tyki as humanly possible.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-01-08 03:31 pm UTC (link)
	And I accidentally told on him. [Sorry, Jack.] He didn't seek me out. We just ran into each other. Running from predators just attracts their attention. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

But he still confronted you. [And it still could have been Tyki. And Jack can get really hurt now, really die really be tortured and Ianto couldn't have helped him or rescued him or even coped with the aftermath of that. He feels like he's starting to panic, like he can't catch his breath or like his legs are suddenly wobbly and he's going to need to sit down before they give way.]

	[She takes a couple of steps forward to comfort him when she sees him reacting. It takes a moment to halt, remembering that won't help today.] Jack is okay. Everyone's safe. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	readystopwatch 2016-01-11 06:33 pm UTC (link)
	[And he immediately takes a couple of steps back in response. He can't help it. He knows it's Kitty but he still doesn't want her to get anywhere closer.] I should go. [Before he freaks out more, before he starts to really panic here. He's already too damn close to it.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-01-11 06:38 pm UTC (link)
	[A nod. She gets it. She's surprised it took this long. Maybe just trying to see if he could adjust.] Take care of yourself, okay? (Reply to this) (Parent)
