Superhero Party Mingle
The time has come! All of the stars have aligned at it is...

Superhero Party in Quatro Park! Some decorations have been put up, mostly appearing to be comic book action words like 'BLAM!' and 'POW!'. There is a table for food with picnic-ish style fare. A few placards for the food are mildly punny for another who has read comic books. Another table is set up for make your own masks for those that weren't prepared. There are a few games out, but periodically Carl will host the foam sword "battles" set to music that is not fitting for a sword fight just for amusement value.

Anyone can come to the party even if they just want to be themselves and not pretend to be a superhero.

	That doesn't sound like something he can do... are you okay? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	friendly_fire 2016-02-02 06:33 pm UTC (link)
	No? [Then who was she in?] I am...feeling better now. Thank you for asking. [Polite and so very accidentally guarded.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Of course. That was a traumatic day for most of us. [ Speaking of. ] How, uhm... how are things with you and Nathan? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh... Ah, why do you ask? [Evasive princess is evasive.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2016-02-02 08:12 pm UTC (link)
	I talked to him. He seemed worried. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	friendly_fire 2016-02-02 08:20 pm UTC (link)
	What did he say? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2016-02-02 08:36 pm UTC (link)
	That he'd like to be more physical with you, but that he's afraid to try. [ Does that sound creepy? ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	friendly_fire 2016-02-02 09:41 pm UTC (link)
	Oh. [She's actually a little surprised, not because that topic surprises her. She was just afraid it was something worse—which to her would mean maybe he's less interested or upset with her.] Because he's afraid he'll want to hurt me? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2016-02-02 11:27 pm UTC (link)
	Yes. [ No sense in lying about that. ] Do you believe he'll hurt you? Have you ever felt threatened by him? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	friendly_fire 2016-02-03 03:14 am UTC (link)
	I...don't always feel safe with him. [Which is kind of the same thing, but she felt better with this wording.] But he doesn't want to hurt me. [He just wants to hurt her. It's totally different.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2016-02-03 07:32 am UTC (link)
	...Has he ever tried to? [ Which is the more important question. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	friendly_fire 2016-02-03 06:53 pm UTC (link)
	Only once in a dream. [A shared dream.] But I was okay. Usually, he's just afraid of it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2016-02-03 08:53 pm UTC (link)
	[ Dreams aren't reality. Being in another body than your own doesn't count. This place provides a lot of loopholes a fledgling serial killer could crawl through. ] Are you afraid of him? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	friendly_fire 2016-02-03 09:35 pm UTC (link)
	No! [Emphatic.] He's very sweet [little pause] and sad. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2016-02-04 09:31 am UTC (link)
	He is. [ He sighs. Where's Hotch when you need him? ] I know it's not really any of my business, but... I know Nathan. I know what's going on in his head, at least a little bit and- And you need to be careful. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	friendly_fire 2016-02-04 02:22 pm UTC (link)
	Careful how? [~~Always carry condoms and a gun?~~] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2016-02-04 03:00 pm UTC (link)
	[ Exactly that. ] I... honestly don't know. I wish I could give you better advice, but it's a delicate situation. It's good that you understand it's not something he can control. That might help. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	friendly_fire 2016-02-04 03:30 pm UTC (link)
	Are you really so worried he'll do something dangerous with me? [Not sure how to feel about that.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2016-02-04 03:34 pm UTC (link)
	Yes. Just like I'm worried he'll try to kill himself to keep that from happening. [ Both bad outcomes. He carefully leads her further out of earshot. ] Do you know how Nathan and I know each other? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Such a party killer, Reid.

Euphie's eyes open wider when he says Nathan may kill himself. It's not like she didn't know that was a possibility, but she hasn't accepted or integrated the idea into her thoughts. She wants him to be okay as if she can make that happen with sheer force of will with blue bands and hugs and kind words.

She walks along with him as he guides her, barely realizing they are moving.]

You're from the same world.

[ He nods. Yes, but... ] He was the suspect in one of the serial killer cases I was working. In the end it wasn't him who did it, but... he still had problems. We took him in for a psychiatric evaluation and when Nathan found out that the urges he has will sooner or later result in him killing someone...

He slit his wrists. He would've died if I hadn't found him in time.

[Just the biggest, saddest, violet eyes you've ever seen. Possibly the only violet eyes you've seen, but that's neither here nor there.]

How can he care for people so deeply but also want to hurt them? [No, really. She doesn't understand that part. It reminds her so much of the geass, but...] Your world doesn't have magic or powers that makes that happen, does it?

	[ He shakes his head. ] We don't... the human mind is complicated. Whatever's going on with him — and I'm not 100% certain on a diagnosis yet — it's not voluntary. It's a compulsion, something he has to do. He's sick, not evil. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	friendly_fire 2016-02-04 03:59 pm UTC (link)
	Can he be treated then? Maybe the wardens can do something. Their medical knowledge seems very advanced. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
