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?]

	I wouldn't call it a history. [There was Jack the day she thought he was hers. And then there was almost Jack again, but he stopped it. They stopped it. Could have been worse considering they were severely low on inhibitions. Could have been better too.] But I think I can keep my hands off. [Only polite not to go after both of Ianto's partners, right?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You better, if you're keen on keeping them. [ There's a subtle tension here, as if this isn't just about him not being interested in her. No, this is about more than that. He's genuinely scared he'll fuck up this weird relationship he's found himself in and her entering the mix seems like a sure way to do just that, no matter how it'd play out. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[That answer felt a little too real considering the nature of their discussion. But if it went off the rails it wouldn't exactly be their first time.] Relax. It wasn't on the table. Everything okay? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You care? [ Said with caution but not hostility. He wouldn't keep trying to strike up a conversation with her if he didn't have some little speck of desire to make amends here. She reminds him off Buffy in many ways and beggars can't be choosers. He'd like it if they could talk, at least, but for that to happen he needs to trust her intentions. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-11-06 09:38 am UTC (link)
	[There's a moment of pause, not because she needs it to decide if she does, but because she's deciding how to answer. She chooses simply and honestly.] I care. [Maybe one of the hardest things for her in Apocalypse's world and in a place always toying with people and sending them away. She cares. She's always cared whether she showed it or not.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ He makes a noise — fine, okay, he believes as much. Wouldn't be the first time someone cares while failing to grasp the full picture but as far as he's concerned, there's no need to talk about the soul business anymore. They can start fresh from here, or at least as fresh as they're able. ] Then I'm sure you can also imagine the situation here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-11-17 11:23 pm UTC (link)
	[She's good to go on not bringing it up if he is.] Awkward? Hot? Hawkward? Relationships with just the two people are already complicated. [She can't really imagine the three way dynamic especially when it's less the bedroom and more the rest of life.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2016-11-20 08:51 am UTC (link)
	Right. [ He's not sure if awkward or hot are words he'd use. Needlessly complicated, for sure. Difficult. Frustrating. ] It is what it is. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-11-30 12:21 am UTC (link)
	I hope it works out. [Which she means. She'd rather not see any relationships failing and she figures Ianto deserves this one even if no one else does and she wouldn't go that far.] Odds have to be for that eventually, right? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2016-11-30 05:20 pm UTC (link)
	...Yeah. Me too. [Less for his own sake, to be honest, but it would be nice to not fuck something up for once. ] Even if it doesn't, it's worth a try. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-12-01 12:10 am UTC (link)
	What's the saying? Nothing ventured, nothing gained? Feels like it should rhyme. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2016-12-01 04:08 am UTC (link)
	Better to have loved and lost. [ More appropriate, if you ask him. ] Either way, nothing you need to worry about. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-12-01 12:56 pm UTC (link)
	A penny saved is a penny earned? [What was the goal here again?] Definitely not as directly affected. [Even if she is pretty close to the other two involved and certainly has history with Spike.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2016-12-04 09:02 am UTC (link)
	[ What are you even talking about. ] Unless you're looking to shag Jack on the side. [ This is a joke, based entirely on Jack and Kitty both being on the Defence Force and the obvious fact of Jack fucking everything that may or may not move. That's all there is. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-12-05 12:49 am UTC (link)
	I mean because they're my friends. [And while it would be nice to say she had no extra reaction to the comment about screwing Jack on the side there is a bit of shifting. After all, things were discussed. Things have been done at times under circumstances.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Sure.

[ Spike is perceptive and maybe he was subconsciously looking for something because he sure as hell notices the shifting. Weird reaction to have to having friends, isn't it? So he notices but doesn't mention, not yet. No, this is something he'll keep in his pocket in case he needs it later, though she on the other hand may notice him noticing, at least for a brief moment before he shrugs it off along with the rest of the conversation. ]

Well, there you have it. All quiet on the Western front.

	[She does pick up on that and she's glad he doesn't question it. Maybe it will be ancient history before it ever comes up. It's headed that direction, right?] So it is. What else are you up to or does it fill the time? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2016-12-05 04:44 pm UTC (link)
	[ Let's hope for that. That's one complication he really doesn't know how to handle. ] What else is there to do? Drinking and shagging, that's all this place has ever had to offer. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-12-05 11:50 pm UTC (link)
	Puzzles. Yoga. Museum visits? I don't know. It's not even very easy going about the shagging part. [Did she just say shagging?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2016-12-06 04:37 am UTC (link)
	Basket weaving? [ He rolls his eyes so loud. ] You're too young for granny hobbies, Sheriff. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Now you're starting to sound like your age group. Then again, I guess you're in full swing with the college games. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-12-07 09:21 pm UTC (link)
	College games? Like rowing or quarters? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2016-12-08 02:43 am UTC (link)
	Like Never Have I Ever. Wasn't that the whole point of this important announcement? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-12-10 04:13 pm UTC (link)
	Right. Good point. Got a little off track there. I'm guessing you don't want to play though. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
