Day 375 — Open Action/Private Video

[So much happened yesterday, but they were only dreams. Only dreams that she still remembers almost as vividly as memories even hours after waking up. Only dreams that everyone who shared them will also likely remember. Only dreams where she told at least three different men she loved them and none of them were Reid. Only dreams that are making her feel small and confused and violated today.

She doesn't blame anyone who made an appearance. She's trying not to blame herself, but that's easier said than done. No, this is on the warden's and the way they play with their minds and emotions. Which, that's all they are right now, isn't it? Their bodies are locked away in tanks and their minds are a playground for their robotic overlords. She's angry, but the anger isn't on the surface yet. There's too much guilt and worry and hurt...and longing on top of it.

Of course she dreamed about being with people. About openly saying she's in love. It's what she's been wanting to get back to with Reid. It's simple, right? Why doesn't it feel simple right now? Probably because she's locked herself up in her room with no one to talk to about any of this. She's either slept with all her friends or their significant others. And then there's Reid. She wants to see him. Wants him to hold her and tell her it's all okay, but she's afraid she'll hear, "I just can't do this." That doesn't leave a lot of people to lean on.

Not terribly long ago her reaction to this might have been doing something brash and impulsive. Maybe even reckless and self-destructive. She doesn't want that now. But she's not sure what she wants in place of it other than not feeling like this anymore.]

[Private | Logan]
You wanted to talk? I want to drink. Maybe we combine those.

[Action | Open]
[She finally makes her way out of the apartment, taking a long route to the Defense Force headquarters if only to avoid passing too closely to other apartments and popular sites. Who would be in the cemetery, right? When she gets to her office she gathers some things up to work on, not interested in staying long.]

(OOC: If your character would make a private call to her following the dreams please feel free to do that here too!)

	You have seen me throw an axe after all. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	At a not so scrawny target. [He's like a pencil.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I used fire last time. Gets the job done. [She actually managed to make that sound worse than it really was.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Mature. [He's not sure what you want him to think, here. On one hand, still thinks that supports the childish attitude. On the other, he's kinda proud.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Mmm, well, we all have our moments at any age. Liiiiiike threatening an unarmed, unpowered, and kind of untrained guy for using words you don't like? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	knowsaguy 2016-05-30 08:24 pm UTC (link)
	Well, like he said. I have no social skills. [Hn.] Also in what world are FBI profilers untrained? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-05-30 08:29 pm UTC (link)
	Mm, that was harsh. [She tilts her head.] I said kind of untrained. I mean, I'm sure he is. [She feels bad for the moment thinking about how he'd feel if that got back to him.] It's just I know what kind of fighter my world's Logan is and it's just not comparable. I'm sure he's good at his job. I'm sure he excels. It's what he does. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You'll notice that whether or not I'm like your Logan, I don't kill for sport. If you think I'd actually hurt the bastard, you don't really know me at all. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-05-30 08:34 pm UTC (link)
	I may still have a lot to learn about you. [This version of you.] But I didn't think that at all. [Just drawing the parallel that no one is mature all the time.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	knowsaguy 2016-05-30 11:41 pm UTC (link)
	[He finishes his drink.] Got any other business to discuss? I'm due for a round at a different bar. [The one you don't want to go to.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-05-31 12:14 am UTC (link)
	You double booked me? [Eyebrow raise.] ...And no. Nothing. [She thought maybe she could, but after that conversation...not a good idea.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	knowsaguy 2016-05-31 01:21 am UTC (link)
	You'd be free to join me, but I have a feeling you wouldn't want to. You know where I'll be. [Around. Drinking at Chuck's.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-05-31 01:23 am UTC (link)
	Thanks anyway. Too many memories I'd rather skip there. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	knowsaguy 2016-05-31 06:08 am UTC (link)
	See you around then, kid. (Reply to this) (Parent)
