Day 363 [video | private to Reid]
[Yesterday had been a pretty good day at least for starters. Sure, there was a lot of forced kissing, but what else is new? She got a gift basket from Reid as a belated birthday olive branch. And they kissed and it was...something. Emotional. Not bad though and that's something. They'd eaten together and had coffee and there were loose plans for a call, but then she and Chekov had a moment and that call never happened. Now, it's growing later on the following day and she's already settled into bed when she turns the feed on.]

Hey, I had some more ideas for your middle name. I don't feel like we've ruled out Coleslaw or Humphrey yet.

	[ It had been a decent day and considering the day he's had now, he's not really upset that they didn't end up talking again. They spent a decent chunk of the day together and that was more than he expected from yesterday. That said, he's not sad that she's calling now. More the opposite. ] I think we need to find you some more hobbies. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	[That earns a laugh which is already a pretty great start to this.] What did you have in mind because I feel like I'm really starting to get somewhere with this. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I don't know... knitting? Start a scrapbook? Pick up cricket? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-02-21 07:23 pm UTC (link)
	I could knit a scrapbook about cricket and save so much time. Then I could still come up with names for you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You're ridiculous. [ Seriously. ] It's good to hear you survived yesterday in one piece. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-02-21 07:36 pm UTC (link)
	You too. [There's a flicker of wanting to talk about Chekov, but it doesn't feel like the right thing to do either.] Did you manage your quiet night? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2016-02-21 08:33 pm UTC (link)
	[ They probably should talk about that at some point, but maybe not right now. ] More or less... yesterday was more inconveniencing than traumatizing, for once. How about you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Probably. She doesn't want to hurt her friendship with him or whatever this is with Reid. And keeping secrets probably isn't the best way for everything to thrive, but she doesn't like the timing. She needs to sort things out more on her own too.]

Agreed. No trauma. [Some concern but no trauma.] My window got broken though. I was chasing one out of the apartment.

	[ Hey, keeping secrets for a little while is better than dropping bombs at the wrong moment. He's finally started to figure that out and it's not like she's lying about having been not-dead for the better part of three months. ] Yikes. Are you okay? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-02-22 03:36 pm UTC (link)
	[She lifts a hand. There's a little baidaid on her index finger.] Forgot I can't pick up glass and phase through it at the same time I guess. But yeah, I'm fine. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2016-02-22 03:47 pm UTC (link)
	Wow. After all this time and you still don't remember how your powers work? For shame, Pryde. [ So much teasing, now that he knows she's fine. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-02-22 03:51 pm UTC (link)
	I really should write it down somewhere. Maybe just get it tattooed on my wrist. Would that be a good look for me? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2016-02-22 04:17 pm UTC (link)
	Why not? We have a tattoo parlor, as someone pointed out to me not long ago. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-02-22 04:43 pm UTC (link)
	Touché. [Just smiling at him. Maybe for a beat too long. She eventually drops her eyes to refocus.] Um, so how about this flood of people that isn't as big as the usual one? Think they're all staying? I've counted eleven so far I think. And that's just the ones who would have had public network feeds. [Which could be all of them. ~~But it isn't.~~] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2016-02-22 05:57 pm UTC (link)
	You know... I don't know. It doesn't seem to follow the same patterns as the usual one-day flood but it's been awhile since we had such a big influx of newcomers. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-02-22 06:19 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, wrong timing, not enough, and they all seemed fully processed. Hmm, I wonder if they're up to something. I do think someone went missing today or maybe yesterday. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2016-02-22 10:36 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah? Do you think that's related to the addition of new people? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-02-22 10:55 pm UTC (link)
	No, not really. It's just not something I usually notice like this. I tried calling John earlier and he never answered. Did you meet him? John Young. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2016-02-23 08:18 am UTC (link)
	No, I don't think I did. The name doesn't ring a bell. [ Though it clearly did for her. ] Was he, uhm... was he a friend? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-02-23 01:08 pm UTC (link)
	[Is that jealousy?] I didn't know him well, [Though he was mutant-ish] but when I was telling him about the prison I mentioned the mistletoe bots and he seemed kind of traumatized by just the idea of them. So, I wanted to check on him after they actually happened. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2016-02-23 06:06 pm UTC (link)
	[ More like curiosity but yeah, he doesn't remember her mentioning people for no reason. ] Do you think his disappearance was intentional? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-02-23 06:59 pm UTC (link)
	[Part of it was just timing. She couldn't get an answer and it was on her mind and the new arrivals were in her thoughts too. But she does feel the need to look after other people who have powers and are rare in their worlds. Different. Freaks.] Aren't they all? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2016-02-23 08:05 pm UTC (link)
	I'm not entirely convinced about that. I mean, sure, but there's just as much evidence supporting that it's completely coincidental. [ And by that he means there's no evidence to support anything. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-02-23 08:12 pm UTC (link)
	It's probably about half and half just to mess with us. [She gives him a tired little smile. Prison is hard, but he has pretty eyes and she's glad they can talk like this.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2016-02-23 08:31 pm UTC (link)
	Probably. [ Heh. ] So, how did this influx of people work out for you? Anyone you know come back? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
