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?]

	Ah. I forget sometimes that you're from so long ago. What did you do at the space camp that was in Alabama and not in space? Was there at least a low-gravity simulator? [A tiny shrug.] It was important to my mother that I have talents beyond academics. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I was in a gyroscope. I bet that's not cool enough for you though. Space elitist. Did you like it? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	candothat 2016-10-06 12:19 am UTC (link)
	All I will say is that I've never been in a gyroscope. [No, it's not cool enough. The future is so much cooler.] Not so much, but that is a secret and you're the only person I have ever told it to. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-10-06 12:22 am UTC (link)
	See, I knew I was cool. [She knows that's not what it means, but this is her world and you're just living in it.] I promise never to make you play the piano for me. [Especially because Reid and Tyki both play.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	candothat 2016-10-06 10:50 am UTC (link)
	[Kitty, you're cool in other ways.] I would thank you, but you benefit from that more than I do. I have never learned to play guitar for the purpose of protesting against piano lessons. [Drink! We're learning so much today.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[She doesn't drink but she does reach up to start playing with his hair absently.] Definitely not that. My parents were already a little worried with how much time I spent in dance classes on top of building computers from scratch and taking apart appliances and putting them back together to see how they worked. They weren't trying to throw extra things at me except maybe eating and rest.

I never kissed a guy who works in space before. [Kissing before drinking.]

	[He snuggles closer. Why haven't they been doing this forever?] Your intelligence is obviously inherited from them. And I never kissed a mutant before. [Kissing, then drinking, then kissing again.] You are the only one, I promise. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-10-06 09:28 pm UTC (link)
	I'm sure Logan will be glad about that. [As one of the few other mutants out there in the dome.] And you're the only.......um...[Oops. She sure did kiss Gaeta and he works in space and why is she being honest right now when it doesn't matter.] Pavel I've ever kissed. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	candothat 2016-10-06 10:10 pm UTC (link)
	As long as I'm the only Pavel... [He smiles, clearly not bothered. A lot of kissing goes on in this prison; he knows and accepts that.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-10-07 02:10 am UTC (link)
	[Relieved! And really such a change from the awkwardness that would have elicited before.] The only and my favorite. [Totally makes sense.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	candothat 2016-10-08 12:29 am UTC (link)
	I hope that there will never be other Pavels for me to compete with. [He's feeling pretty confident that he'd still be Kitty's favorite even with competition. In an apparent non sequitur:] Do you think that I'm boring? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-10-08 01:28 am UTC (link)
	What? [Okay, she heard. She's just surprised by what she heard.] No. Why would you think that? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	candothat 2016-10-08 11:42 pm UTC (link)
	That has been my main critique. [From a girlfriend, anyway. Not that Kitty's his girlfriend!] I'd like to be the best Pavel that I can be. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-10-08 11:46 pm UTC (link)
	Doesn't life provide enough drama already? Besides, I think you're already the best Pavel I know. [She looks at him curiously though.] Who is critiquing you anyway? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	candothat 2016-10-08 11:51 pm UTC (link)
	I think that life is sufficiently dramatic. Lucy. [He tilts his head thoughtfully.] Korra also. No one here yet, but it's a concern that I have. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-10-08 11:57 pm UTC (link)
	I think you're right. I don't know what they were thinking. If it helps, sometimes I think I'm a little too...interesting. [Dramatic. Angsty. Traumatized.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	candothat 2016-10-09 12:04 am UTC (link)
	Too interesting? [He doesn't get how that can be a bad thing any more than he understands how being boring isn't necessarily terrible.] How do you mean? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-10-09 12:18 am UTC (link)
	I mean...too much work. [Looking at him a little shyly. Uncertain.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	candothat 2016-10-09 12:25 am UTC (link)
	Even if you were, and I think you're not, I like work. [No, he still doesn't really get what she's saying.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-10-09 12:33 am UTC (link)
	[She feels like she's hard to love. Not that they're at the L-word yet.] I hope you never regret that. [She leans in to kiss him softly.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	candothat 2016-10-09 12:43 am UTC (link)
	I never regret anything. [Even if they were still playing the drinking game, that was the truth and wouldn't get a drink. He presses for a kiss that's not quite so soft or short.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	The internet gave up on tagging before I did last night. So rude. kitty_has_claws 2016-10-09 10:33 am UTC (link)
	[She would need to drink now, but she'll just kiss him instead because she would definitely regret doing anything other than kissing him right now. She's not so hard to coax into longer and harder.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	What a jerk. candothat 2016-10-09 08:55 pm UTC (link)
	[His eyes flutter shut and he brushes his fingers through her hair. It would be easy to say something stupid about love right now so it's a good thing they're kissing instead.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	The worst! kitty_has_claws 2016-10-10 11:10 pm UTC (link)
	[Oh god, so much better to kiss. She's still finding her way to him. She was holding on to Reid so tightly for what felt like years instead of months. She's been letting him go, but she still feels the phantom weight of it. Being loved and having someone to love is all she really wants in this life, but it doesn't make it easy for her to accept.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[As easy as Chekov finds it to love, he realizes that it's not a word to throw around lightly. He and Lucy almost split the first time he said it because it was too soon for her.

So he won't say anything about love even when his lips are free to do so. He will, however, think that word very loudly as he tucks her hair behind her ear and traces the curve of her cheek.]
