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!)

	[He'll just pretend to ignore the way she says him name right there.] You can be patient with the things that matter, but yes, you make a good point. In most situations, "patient" would not be one of the first words that I would use to describe you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Probably for the best.] You've been paying attention. [She smiles at him.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I do try to. [He pats her shoulder because that feels like a safe friend thing to do. It also feels kind of awkward, but.] Everything will be fine, Kitty. It only takes time. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Good. The only thing I've never believed in. Easy. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I can believe it twice as much to compensate and you can be impressed when I'm proven right. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[She smiles at him.] Thanks. You're a good guy, Chekov. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You make it easy to be that way. [Seriously, the temptation to be a jerk sometimes is great.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[She reaches out and finds his hand to give it a squeeze. I should probably get some work done. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	action; candothat 2016-06-06 02:27 am UTC (link)
	Yes, good idea. We aren't earning our exorbitant salaries by talking. [He returns the squeeze and lets her go so he can return to his own busywork. He feels good enough, though, and sure in his belief that everything will work out now that he and Kitty have cleared the air.] (Reply to this) (Parent)
