VIDEO // CLOSED TO REBECCA

[ Technically he could just go across the hall and ask but- this seems easier somehow. ]

Hey uhm... Rebecca? You got any concealer I can borrow?

ACTION // OPEN

[ Deciding that makeup will probably draw more attention than the bruise itself, a freshly punched Reid hits the prison streets. He needs coffee and a bagel, so he stops by Bean Crushers, lingering in a corner booth for a while with a stack of books that are due at the library. While in Sector 2 he also takes a moment to stop by the school - he hasn't held classes in forever and he probably won't now that his teacher's aide is missing in action but he can stop by the music room and play piano for a bit. It's been weeks, if not months.

He can, of course, also be encountered on the way between places, sporting a beautiful and fresh shiner. Thanks Leia. ]

	Of a powerful woman forced into sexual slavery? [ Sorry, Sam. ] Sure, when I was a kid... before I fully understood the context of that scene. And even ignoring that it's like- It's like getting confirmation that Santa is real. Awesome when you're 8, not so much when it's part of your adult reality, like taxes.

	Or finding out angels are real and that most of them are dicks? Listen, I get it. It's all very different when she's here and she's real and that means the context was real for her too. [But that didn't stop her from being hot in the scene and probably didn't stop Kitty from being hot in it too.] It's okay, I'm not the enemy. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I know. [ He sighs. ] Sorry. I just seem to be making a lot of them lately. Enemies. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Well, it takes more than that for me. You should try to kill me at a minimum and even then. [Lopsided smile.] She's still mad? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2016-01-22 05:29 pm UTC (link)
	Pretty mad, yeah. I'm lucky this is all she did. [ Knowing what she can do, he's incredibly lucky. ] I think I calmed her down for the time being but I, ah... I have no idea if she'll ever talk to me again. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[He nods, knowing that's got to be hard even without knowing how close they became. Reid definitely seems like someone who was probably a lot more into the series than Sam ever was. It's hard to see your heroes differently or to have them see you differently.] It's kind of a small place. I wouldn't be surprised if she came around with time. Or maybe they had fiction where she's from and she'll go through the same thing and get a new perspective on it.

	Maybe... or maybe she'll avoid me until one of us disappears. That's surprisingly easy here, even if it is a small place. [ Kind of feeling like he'd deserve it if she did decide to go that route. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tallerthanthou 2016-01-23 09:12 pm UTC (link)
	[That gets a nod.] You're right. It can happen a lot faster than you expect. Did you...get close? [Dangerously close to feelings talk here.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2016-01-23 09:25 pm UTC (link)
	Getting there, I guess? [ Should he kiss and tell? He's honestly not sure he wants to spread that around. ] Close enough. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tallerthanthou 2016-01-23 09:33 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah. Things don't really get less complicated even without the demons and serial killers, do they? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2016-01-23 09:50 pm UTC (link)
	Give me a serial killer any day... they're easier to handle than this. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tallerthanthou 2016-01-23 09:53 pm UTC (link)
	Well, sure, they teach you to handle them. There's nothing for this. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2016-01-23 09:55 pm UTC (link)
	Pretty sure this is what parents are for, with other people. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tallerthanthou 2016-01-23 09:59 pm UTC (link)
	Oh, right. Well, I did learn from dad that if someone you care about is killed you should uproot your life and spend it looking for vengeance, so I probably shouldn't complain. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2016-01-23 10:02 pm UTC (link)
	You know, I learned from my dad that if your mentally ill wife is the witness of a murder, you should completely abandon her and your four year old son. I have a feeling our dad's aren't shining examples of fatherhood. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tallerthanthou 2016-01-23 10:04 pm UTC (link)
	That's what happened? [New information there. Damn.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2016-01-23 10:11 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah. I never told you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tallerthanthou 2016-01-23 10:17 pm UTC (link)
	[He shakes his head.] So you haven't seen him since you were four? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2016-01-23 10:19 pm UTC (link)
	No, I saw him a couple of years ago. [ A beat. ] When I accused him of having committed that murder. [ Awkward. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tallerthanthou 2016-01-23 10:23 pm UTC (link)
	Wow. That murder? Wait, the one your Mom witnessed? Was it him? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2016-01-23 10:24 pm UTC (link)
	No, it wasn't him. Turns out what I remembered was him burning my mother's bloody clothes in order to protect her. He didn't think she'd be up for playing the witness in court. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tallerthanthou 2016-01-23 10:26 pm UTC (link)
	And he couldn't handle covering it up? I'm sorry. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2016-01-23 10:31 pm UTC (link)
	[ He shrugs. ] It was a long time ago. Far as I'm concerned, I never had a dad. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tallerthanthou 2016-01-23 10:40 pm UTC (link)
	[That doesn't actually make it less sad. And it gives some points to "sir" who wasn't great, but he was his Dad.] So you haven't talked to him since the accusations either? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2016-01-23 10:55 pm UTC (link)
	Not really. What would we even talk about? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
