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.

	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)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-02-23 08:33 pm UTC (link)
	Zero and Yuuki. She still has her memories of being here before. [Him, not so much.] I didn't recognize anyone else. Oh, but General Solo [She may have forgotten his first name.] is from Ton's world. What about you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2016-02-23 08:40 pm UTC (link)
	Yuuki, of course. [ He did play piano for her, shortly before she disappeared. ] And, uhm... of course I know Han Solo. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-02-23 08:41 pm UTC (link)
	Oh. So, he's in the television show version of their lives too? [She's close enough, right? She can't remember a time when he was in the prison before, so it must be that.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2016-02-24 09:16 am UTC (link)
	Movies... but yes. He's Leia's, uhm... [ Wow this is awkward with her. ] Boyfriend doesn't seem like the right word, but they're involved. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-02-24 04:53 pm UTC (link)
	Oh. [You know, she should have guessed that by the way he was talking, but she didn't. Just assumed they were colleges and friends.] That's... [She doesn't know what that is. Complicated situation is complicated.] He's not going to hit you too is he? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2016-02-24 08:33 pm UTC (link)
	I don't think so? And if he does... [ He shrugs. ] I can handle him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-02-24 08:36 pm UTC (link)
	[She nods, not wanting him to think she doesn't think he could handle him. Of course he can. Even if he got punched again it's a punch. You live.] Do you know if he knows...? [It's a little weird talking about Reid's kiss with Leia again.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2016-02-24 08:45 pm UTC (link)
	He knows. He told me as much... I don't know to what extent, but anything uhm. Pertinent. Did you talk to him? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-02-24 08:51 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah. He seemed cool I guess. Not happy to be here. Guarded. None of these are unexpected on arrival. [You know she actually feels kind of bad for Leia about it. She didn't wait that long, but Kitty knows just how long waiting here can feel. How lonely it can be.] I'm sure it will all work out. [With all of you.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2016-02-24 08:59 pm UTC (link)
	I'm not really planning on getting involved. I promised Leia I'd help her answer some questions about her parents, but other than that... [ So there's that. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-02-24 09:00 pm UTC (link)
	Other than that... You're not going to stay friends? [Is it weird she's more concerned than relieved?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2016-02-24 09:26 pm UTC (link)
	That's up to her. I'm not going to grovel just to stay friends with her, she has to do her part too. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-02-24 09:34 pm UTC (link)
	She doesn't seem to go out of her way to make things easy, does she? [Some of their conversations had gone fine but how many were actually good compared to how many were pretty bad?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2016-02-24 09:35 pm UTC (link)
	No... not at all. I guess I understand where she's coming from but that's not the kind of attitude that works around here. She's going to have to learn that sooner or later and I don't intend to be her punching bag while she figures it out. [ Are you proud of all this backbone? ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[It is impressive. On the other hand she's been kind of groveling to get back with him for awhile now. Things are better on that front now and it was certainly never her norm before.

She reaches up to tuck some hair back. It's definitely longer than it was when she first arrived at the prison.]

It wouldn't be much of a friendship unless it worked for both of you.

[ Friendships are complicated, it turns out. He has yet to figure out the formula that properly represents the gnawing feeling in the pit of your stomach that happens whenever you feel short-changed, unfairly treated, getting less basic human respect than you deserve. He'll probably aim for another PhD whenever he figures it out. ]

Right. [ Sigh. ] Can we talk about something else? Not that I don't feel like I can talk to you, it's just ah... it seems kind of pointless.
