Day 395 Open Video
Video | Open

I think we could all use a distraction.

[Or maybe that's just her thinking about how it's been awhile since the wardens have launched something at them. The kites barely seem to count. Is something big coming? are they just counting down the days until 400? Another anniversary festival or something...worth waiting for? In probably all the wrong ways.]

So, let's play a game. It's called I Never. It's usually a drinking game, but I'll leave the type of beverage up to you. All ages. [As if anyone stops the kids from drinking booze here anyway.]

I'll say "I never went to prison." If you have gone to prison—and spoiler alert, you have—then you drink. If you're not using video then figure something else out or stop being so difficult. The objective is to find things out about each other while not getting too drunk or hydrated yourself, so normally you'd pick a true statement for yourself so you don't have to drink. But that's really up to you. [She might drink a lot just because she's done a lot of things.]

I'll start us off, I never shoplifted...from a store that hadn't already been abandoned.

(OOC: It's not a mingle, but you can feel free to threadjack others!)

Action | Closed to Chekov
[Not long after the video goes up there's a knock at his door. On the other side is Kitty, looking a more put together than usual and carrying a couple of bags. One has liquor. The other has food. What do?]

	[Chekov wasn't expecting company, as evidenced by the chaotic mess that is currently his apartment and his lounging-around-doing-science attire. Fortunately, he does not know shame and is very pleased to see her. Doesn't even matter what's in the bags!] Kitty, hello. Is there an occasion? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-09-29 09:38 pm UTC (link)
	Of course. You said I could stay with you at your place sometimes. I figured that meant any random time I decided without any planning, forethought, or permission, right? [Was this a bad idea? He's smiling though. She likes that smile. She leans in and kisses that smile.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[He's visibly confused since Kitty hadn't seemed all that interested, but she's here and kissing him, so who is he to disagree with her? He's more than happy to kiss back.] That's one possible interpretation, yes. Please come in. [Although kissing is nice, it's rude to keep guests standing outside.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[She was interested. Just fighting her instincts since they've basically only led her to pain in the past, but there's usually a lot of good stuff before the pain at least? She likes her freshly painted apartment and her dog, Chicago, but it's not the same as having someone.]

Thanks. I'm glad you like my interpreting skills. I brought food and vodka and things to mix with the vodka. And me. I also brought me.

	Thank you for bringing one of my favorite things in the universe. [Her, he's talking about her! He's also pushing things off of his sofa so they can use it for, you know. Sitting.] Although I'm offended that you would think that you need to bring vodka. I have that already. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Well, I am a polite home invader who never assumes anything but being welcome. [She puts the bags down on the coffee table.] Did you see my broadcast? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	candothat 2016-09-29 10:23 pm UTC (link)
	Then I accept your gift. [With the couch cleared, he darts into the next room to get shot glasses. She's a polite home invader and he's a polite host.] The broadcast where you proposed a distraction in the form of a game? I did, yes. Have you already been playing? You seem sober to me.

	kitty_has_claws 2016-09-29 10:31 pm UTC (link)
	I saved all my drunken promise for you. I was playing with water. Shots, huh? [She brought various juices and even the stuff for making white russians. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	candothat 2016-09-29 10:35 pm UTC (link)
	Very kind. [And of course shots?] How else do you drink vodka? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-09-29 10:41 pm UTC (link)
	As a mixed drink? No? Blasphemy? Should I see myself out? [Not that though.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	candothat 2016-09-29 10:53 pm UTC (link)
	Yes, please see yourself out. [He's smiling, though, so don't.] No, you can stay, and you can ruin your vodka in any way you like. Let me get another glass for you. [And he will. Enjoy your blasphemy.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-09-29 10:58 pm UTC (link)
	[She smiles, watching him head into the kitchen again.] So, date or not date? What would you call this? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm a scientist, Kitty, not a linguist or a philosopher. I have little interest in semantics. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-09-29 11:09 pm UTC (link)
	Then how will I know if you're supposed to get lucky later or not? [Kidding. Kidding. Is she kidding?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	candothat 2016-09-29 11:22 pm UTC (link)
	[There's a prolonged moment where Chekov impersonates a deer that has been caught in a car's headlights. Why did she have to use a turn of phrase that he knows? Now he has to decide if she means it or not!] I need you tell me how to answer that question. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-09-29 11:34 pm UTC (link)
	[~~Why are all her men deer?~~ She smiles softly. He looks really cute like that. She has successfully passed her nerves on?] Mmm, I think the smoothest route would be to tell me you feel lucky anytime you're with me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	candothat 2016-09-29 11:52 pm UTC (link)
	[~~She has found a type.~~ Good answer, though. He's relieved.] Ah, well. I always do feel lucky when I'm with you, so that will be an easy answer to remember. [Is he flirting? He doesn't think he is because it sounds a lot like the truth.] What did you bring, other than vodka and ways to ruin it? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-09-30 12:16 am UTC (link)
	[No, she was flirting with herself and killing it! His sincerity is sweet though. It earns a smile. And his question gets him a laugh and an elbow to his side—playfully.] Sliders. All kinds of different mini-sandwiches. And brownies. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	candothat 2016-09-30 12:41 am UTC (link)
	[Food is so exciting! Not as exciting as Kitty, of course, but Chekov does appreciate food. She definitely earned the hug he gives her.] Of all of the home invaders, you're my favorite. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-09-30 12:50 am UTC (link)
	[She hugs back, letting it linger. Is that weird? She just likes being close and held and holding.] That's nice to hear. [Not a dismissive comment. She really does feel good hearing that.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	candothat 2016-09-30 03:36 pm UTC (link)
	[He's cool with it. Chekov will start being picky about hugs when he starts diluting his vodka.] You do have very little competition. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-09-30 09:34 pm UTC (link)
	I see how it is. You get your hug and then you go walking back your compliment. I see how it is. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	candothat 2016-09-30 10:42 pm UTC (link)
	It was still a better compliment than the one that you gave me. [The one that didn't happen!] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-09-30 10:49 pm UTC (link)
	What compliment did I give... Heeeeey. I brought you mini-sandwiches and you're sad I didn't call you pretty? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	candothat 2016-09-30 10:54 pm UTC (link)
	You never call me pretty. [He pouts for a split second then looks down at his loungewear.] Which, I admit, I understand. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
