Day 389 : Video/Action : Anniversary
[Kitty appears on the video with bruises from a failed strangling fading on her neck. Things got rough a couple of days ago.]

So, it's Day 389 which also means it's been a year since I got here. And since the only other one who made that length of time is gone now, I guess I'm the reigning champ of sticking around. Celebrate or mourn it with me at Lyrical I guess. Funny hats are a plus. [She doesn't really know how to feel about it, but she figures it will be better to be not alone.]

Everyone's invited. [That was for Reid. Just in case he forgot, but if newbies want to party too then she doesn't really mind. She'll be set up on a small, comfy couch nursing a drink and listening to the music she requested from the music station. She isn't actually wearing a funny hat...yet?]

[Private to Chekov]

Hey.

	Oh, longing, what is she supposed to do with you? Luckily, he changes it to a question about will she or won't she dance and of course she will. She puts her hand in his and moves along easily with him as he continues to sing. She doesn't actually know the song but that's not the only thing that stops her from joining in. Just not a big singer. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Tamp it down rather than let it out to play. As in, the complete opposite of what he's doing.

At least they can dance. It might not really help with that tamping down the longing thing, but it does take the edge off by changing the emphasis. Because, after all, Kitty can dance. Well enough to follow his lead as he guides her through the sways and twirls of a fairly comprehensive musical theatre dance, just because he can.

It's not exactly the kind of dance she trained for, but neither is much of the partner dancing she does here at parties and get togethers with Jack apparently. But she still picks things up quickly and executes them gracefully. Just a little learning curve around the edges.

She smiles softly at all this. She's fond of Jack and this is nice. It doesn't exactly make her want to push him up against a wall and kiss him so that's good. (Not that she'd be opposed either.) But it doesn't exactly make her want to pull away. Is that bad though? She doesn't have that many people she's truly close to and it feels more and more like she's lost that in Reid. He was her lover, but he was her best friend too. She misses all of that. The familiarity. The "home" feeling she had in him that told her she was with family. Just not in a weird incestuous way. She still feels a lot of attachment to Reid, but she's not so sure the feeling is mutual and that just makes it lonelier. But Reid aside, she just needs her connections and Jack has been a strong one for a long time.

"Did you sing back home?"

	He's smiling too. This is nice. It's like a controlled way to indulge that deep affection they share for each other, and he enjoys it greatly. "Sometimes," he nods, leading her politely back to her seat as the music ends. "Not so much recently, but once upon a time I was in musicals. Cole Porter even wrote a song for me!"

	"Of course he did. What is your life, Jack Harkness?" She smiles at him fondly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"A very long and thrilling one!" he responds immediately, flashing her a smile that wouldn't have looked out of place on the actor Cole Porter wrote the song for. Then it turns wry. "Of course, that was a lifetime ago, by most people's standards. More than. Just a fun little interlude between catching aliens and saving the Earth." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Yeah? What else were you doing in this interlude?" Always curious about him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He gives her an ironic look, the corner of his mouth twitching. "Cole Porter." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Well, that I guessed." Or maybe she hadn't, but she should have because of course. It'd be faster to ask who you turned you down. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Of course she should have!

He grins again, and generously decides to elaborate. "To be honest, I was really there on business. There'd been rumours of something that sounded suspiciously like Daleks in a theatre in Manhatten a couple of years previously, and so Torchwood sent me in under cover to do a scout out. Never saw any, though - which was a relief!" A tiny shudder, because he's never not going to be scared of Daleks, after they killed him that first time. "So I just got to spend a very pleasant few months instead just singing and dancing, and banging Cole Porter!"

	She almost asks, but then remembers the Daleks from the video she saw of Jack's death. His first death. "Sounds like a pretty good mission. I can't say I ever had any turn out like that. If I was sent to scout out bad things I always found bad things or worse things." (Reply to this) (Parent)
