DAY 398 | OPEN | VIDEO
[ Have you ever been treated to heavy breathing on the end of a phone call? Well, that's the sound you're hearing now, except there's a video to go with it, which is mostly occupied by Kirk's sweat-streaked, dirt smudged, scratched up face. He looks more put upon than hurt, and from the looks of the background he's somewhere green and up high. He's tucked tight against what appears to be a tree trunk, running a hand through his hair and flashing his best charming grin under the circumstances. ]

So, probably not the smartest decision ever in my life, but I've found myself up at tree and in need of some assistance. If anyone has suggestions on how to make it out of Sector 6 with...

_{[ He paused and looked down, moving his lips as his eyes flicked back and forth purposefully. ]}

Let's say around four very unhappy raptors. Any and all suggestions are welcome.

_{[ Hopefully everyone got this without static, but who knows, right? He's hoping for the best. Seems to usually work form. Usually. ]}

	[She checks the message, realizing she came to it a little late though nothing is ever too late with a network that only ever holds the last twenty-four hours of information.] Do you still need evac? Pavel's not going to like it if you've been eaten. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	_{[ It's true, and thanks to the help of a robot girl and others he was unharmed save for a few minor scratches and bruises. ]} Does that mean if Pavel wasn't here, you wouldn't evac me had I needed it? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-10-25 09:47 pm UTC (link)
	Well, he is here so you'll never have to find out. [Smirk.] So, is that a yes or a no on the search and rescue? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	universal_charm 2016-10-29 02:25 am UTC (link)
	You have that look again that makes me think I should take my chances with the raptors. _{[ Seriously, you scare him a bit, Kitty. ]} Almost. Search and rescue would be nice. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-10-29 07:47 pm UTC (link)
	[Hearing he's still in peril definitely makes her take it more seriously.] On my way. [Moving toward sector 6.] Spin your device around so I can get a look at the area you're in. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_{[ He took it off and did as she asked, moving slowly so she could get an idea of where he was. ]} I headed west and inwards when I was being chased. I know that much, if it helps. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-11-03 09:03 pm UTC (link)
	Perfect. [Well, not perfect, but it will help.] If something tries to eat you before I get there just scream loudly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Screams are easier to track. Just not worth doing it yet since they could attract others. [She's moving through the gate to sector 6 now.] Did you head west immediately or just when you got pursed? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	universal_charm 2016-11-07 01:53 am UTC (link)
	_{[ He thinks for a minute. ]} Almost immediately. Which I think was not the best choice, but probably the only one - pretty damn sure they were herding me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-11-17 10:14 pm UTC (link)
	Maybe they wanted to save you for later. [She looks around to see if anything or anyone wants to herd her too. So far so good.] Midnight snack. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-11-29 11:42 pm UTC (link)
	I do what I can. [Hear that growling? Yeah, she's phasing her way through some raptors. It's really annoying and confusing them.] I think I'm getting close. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	universal_charm 2016-12-03 01:14 am UTC (link)
	If you're the thing agitating them, then yes, yes you are. Think you can keep it up? If you distract them all for a second I think I can make it down and make a break for it with you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-12-05 12:26 am UTC (link)
	Yeah, I think I can distract them. [SNIKT! The sound of her claws extending as she comes within sight of Kirk's position.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_{[ Damn, girl. But you go girl too. He's watching the raptors in their confusion, waiting for the right moment, and then scrambled down the tree and began to edge away. Running right now had just a good a chance of attracting their attention as not. Better to sneak. He let out whistle to let Kitty know he was down, not wanting to risk a shout either. ]} (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[She is just going to "distract" a couple of them by killing them. She might feel worse about this if they had any sign they ever wanted to do anything but eat everyone they find and if they weren't just virtual reality generated monsters. Then she phases through the trunk of a tree which seems to confuse the remaining raptors at least for the moment. As they scratch helplessly at the tree, she makes her way toward Kirk.]

_{[ Well that felt unnecessary, but he wasn't going to argue with results either. He did like being alive and not being chased by angry creatures with teeth.

Kirk has kept moving, not to fast, but far enough that he wouldn't risk attracting attention again. He nods his thanks when he sees Kitty and starts moving again, quiet until he feels they're out of range. ]}

Thanks, I owe you one.

[It might have been unnecessary. It was largely precautionary. She also has something of a long history with these things and she knows for as many as she's taken out there have always been plenty more. But without the context and even with it, there's still a lot of blood and death involved.]

Not a problem. Can't let a friend of Pavel's get himself eaten. I mean you'd be alive again tomorrow but you'd always remember getting eaten and that can't be good for a person.

Guess he skipped that part of the life and times of Jim Kirk lecture series. What happened? [She reaches out without warning or explanation to take his hand. A moment later the ground falls out from beneath them, but they remain walking firmly on the air. She spent some considerable time exploring this sector. Not that it doesn't still have plenty of surprises, but it helps to be intangible for them.]

To be fair, it's not a very fun chapter.

_{[ He would shrug, but he's concentrating on following her out of the sector. ]}

The short version? Ship was going to crash into Earth if we didn't get the engines back up, and the only way to do was to kick the reactor back into place. I did that, and got overdosed with radiation.

_{[ The result of that was fairly obvious from some previous statements. ]}

	I can see where that would lead to death. I'm less sure where being alive came back into play. [Keeping an eye out for anything that might be following them or trying to jump them.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
