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?]

	Listen, I know you went through something recently, but just because someone could hurt you doesn't mean they will. That's the kind of thinking that got people hating my kind before Apocalypse even made his move. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[There are a number of things that he wants to say to that and most of them could come off as hostile without extremely careful wording; finding a balance between public safety and personal freedom has been an endless, losing, and occasionally violent struggle at home.

Gaeta has to pause and think about his response.] I understand that, but if someone has a history of hurting others—of their own volition, not when the wardens are playing with them—it's not unreasonable to be cautious.

	[She nods and she knows it's complicated. She doesn't want to target anyone because they're vampires, but yes, if people have been hurt then that's a different thing.] Spike's the only one with history. Unless you count Martha. [Which she wouldn't since it took a big change to get her there.] And his circumstances have changed. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Private didwhaticould 2016-10-03 10:54 pm UTC (link)
	Martha wasn't herself. I don't know much about Spike or his circumstances, but if no one thinks that he's a threat... [He'll trust their judgment. There aren't a lot of other options.] Sorry for being less than fun. I'm sure this isn't what you wanted to talk about when you started your game. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Private kitty_has_claws 2016-10-05 12:39 am UTC (link)
	There are members of the force staying close to him. [Threesome-level close.] Don't be sorry. I just wish you hadn't been alone for that. It's not easy. I might have gotten a little attacked that day too. Clearly, we should have stuck together. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Private didwhaticould 2016-10-05 08:43 pm UTC (link)
	Alright. [Well, good. That's plenty close.] Maybe we should've stuck together. [Because he's not going to say it, but yeah, being alone isn't easy even when it's the norm.] What happened to you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Private kitty_has_claws 2016-10-05 09:17 pm UTC (link)
	A friend was changed. He tried to choke me. He got pretty close to managing it. He feels terrible about it. I almost wish I could have prevented it more so he didn't have to go through that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Private didwhaticould 2016-10-05 09:50 pm UTC (link)
	I'm glad you fought him off. Even if death isn't real here, I can't imagine it's fun. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Private kitty_has_claws 2016-10-05 09:54 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah. I'm glad you did too. Or however you got out of it. [The finishing part. It probably really would have rattled her if it had been death.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Private didwhaticould 2016-10-05 10:08 pm UTC (link)
	I didn't get out so much as pass out. I think I bored her away. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Private kitty_has_claws 2016-10-05 10:23 pm UTC (link)
	I can see where being unconscious might have made it hard to be the life of the party. How did...? Did the bots just find you and take you to the hospital? [So cold and lonely.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Private didwhaticould 2016-10-05 10:34 pm UTC (link)
	I guess so. If someone else was involved, they didn't leave any means for me to send them a thank you card. [Or make sure he was alive later. MarinaNova might be small, but it's not hard to disappear for a few days if no one's looking.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Private kitty_has_claws 2016-10-05 10:39 pm UTC (link)
	I would have hung around and demanded some praise for dragging you there. [Or just made sure he wasn't alone when he woke up. She's pretty sure other!her would have done the same.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Private didwhaticould 2016-10-05 11:00 pm UTC (link)
	You're so kind and selfless. [He doesn't doubt that she'd do the dragging, though, and that means something. It's more than a lot of people would do. Martha didn't even try contacting him until three days after the fact.] You'll just have to rescue me in the future if you're after praise. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Private kitty_has_claws 2016-10-05 11:05 pm UTC (link)
	It's nice of you to offer getting in trouble just so I can do that. [Stay intact, okay?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Private didwhaticould 2016-10-05 11:20 pm UTC (link)
	I've always been known for my altruism. [No promises! His parents doomed him to ironic unluckiness when they named him Felix.] Hey, don't you have a boy to go see? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Private kitty_has_claws 2016-10-05 11:31 pm UTC (link)
	I do have a boy to see. [She can't help but smile.] Are you okay though? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Private didwhaticould 2016-10-05 11:38 pm UTC (link)
	I'm fine, really. The knowledge that you'd drag my unconscious body to the hospital is a great comfort. [Not even kidding however insincere that sounds.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Private kitty_has_claws 2016-10-06 12:25 am UTC (link)
	I knew it would be. You know, for you I'd even drag so your head was up. Okay, I'll go see about that boy. Take care, Felix. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Private didwhaticould 2016-10-06 11:01 am UTC (link)
	You too, and good luck. Not that I think you'll need it. (Reply to this) (Parent)
