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. ]

	Believe me, with how mad she was? I wouldn't have been. [ No doubt about it. He's happy it's not worse than this ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	What got her so angry? She's not going dark side or something is she? [That would be so bad.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2016-01-18 09:18 pm UTC (link)
	No... she found out that I know about the dark side. And jedis. And everything else because I've seen the movies she stars in. [ This is worse. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tallerthanthou 2016-01-18 09:25 pm UTC (link)
	...Oh. Do you think it's out of her system or do you think she'll want to punch everyone who knows about that? [Asking for a friend?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2016-01-18 09:29 pm UTC (link)
	No idea, but I definitely recommend coming clean yourself. She wasn't mad that I knew, she was mad that I lied to her about knowing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tallerthanthou 2016-01-18 09:30 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, I've talked to her a few times. Maybe I'll wear a helmet. I mean, what are you going to say? Hi, I saw you kiss your brother once. And it's not like she's the only one around here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2016-01-18 09:32 pm UTC (link)
	That's what I told her! How do you even bring that up - how do you know that you should? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tallerthanthou 2016-01-18 09:39 pm UTC (link)
	Did I ever tell you about the book series about my life? I'm fictional in my own world. It's not fun. Why would I want that for other people? [Then again, he faces the truth about his world every day while leaving others in the dark.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2016-01-18 09:47 pm UTC (link)
	Right? [ What is your life, Sam. ] Guess not everyone shares that sentiment. I mean, in a way I can understand where she's coming from but it's not an easy topic to breach. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tallerthanthou 2016-01-18 09:50 pm UTC (link)
	It just makes you sound crazy or suspicious if you bring it up immediately and you don't know if they're really going to stick around or get lost in the stabilizer and then if you wait it's even more awkward because you didn't mention it. [He gets you, bro.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2016-01-19 05:38 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, well... [ He gestures towards the bruise. ] That was clearly the wrong approach. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tallerthanthou 2016-01-19 06:58 pm UTC (link)
	How did she find out anyway? [Was it the force?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2016-01-20 10:09 pm UTC (link)
	[ There's some throat clearing, as if being hideously awkward would throw Sam off the trail that this stems from something hideously awkward. ] Kitty... told her something that clued her in. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tallerthanthou 2016-01-21 03:28 am UTC (link)
	Something bad? [Because there was all that suspicious throat clearing.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2016-01-21 06:42 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah. [ Ugh Sam why are you making him explain this can't you just accept the awkward at face value and leave it be. ] Kitty, uhm... told her that she- [ Ugh this is awful. He rushes over the next part.] -dressedupinthegoldenbikiniformeonce. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tallerthanthou 2016-01-21 06:50 pm UTC (link)
	[Did he just say...? Yes, yes he did. Sam is breaking into a smile and yes, he's giving a round of applause.] You're living the dream. [Or you were.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2016-01-21 06:54 pm UTC (link)
	No! No no no, you have no idea how much that is not true! [ It wasn't back then either. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tallerthanthou 2016-01-21 07:02 pm UTC (link)
	Okay, okay. But how many guys had that dream? [And by dream he means...] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2016-01-21 07:30 pm UTC (link)
	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. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tallerthanthou 2016-01-21 07:37 pm UTC (link)
	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)

	thisiscalm 2016-01-21 10:31 pm UTC (link)
	I know. [ He sighs. ] Sorry. I just seem to be making a lot of them lately. Enemies. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tallerthanthou 2016-01-22 12:30 am UTC (link)
	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)
