Day 399 : Video/Action | Open
It's pretty obvious the wardens are up to something or want us to think they are. They've been dropping hints about tomorrow for the last few morning broadcasts. The things Veridical said today are pretty much on target for that.

Gather round, kids. Time for a history lesson since I've been here for most of it.

Back on Day 100 we were still back in Marina Asylum with different wardens and surroundings. They threw a masquerade ball. I picked out a simple red dress and spent the rest of the day thinking I was a goddess and a crazy one at that. [Named Glory.]

On Day 200 we had a summer festival thing. Games, rides, food stands, a dance, the works. There was a projection of scenes from home. Everyone's home I think. [She doesn't mention the ferris wheel because it still comes with too many feelings when it comes to Reid. She really hopes there's no ferris wheel this time.]

Day 300 was more of a harvest festival. Same kind of thing as Day 200 but more fall themed. They did the projections again and there was a dance on the beach. [There was another ferris wheel that day and by then she and Reid had broken up. Which means it's been more than 100 days already. Sometimes it feels like years. Sometimes it feels like yesterday. Letting go and moving on are both their own kinds of journeys.]

Tomorrow is Day 400. I'm guessing there's a dance. From the look of the costumes in stock and the decorations that have started going up I think we're looking at a Halloween theme. Might pick up past things or be completely different. It feels like we had a couple of Halloweens back when I first arrived.

So...that's what I know for what it's worth. You can always call the Defense Force if something comes up. Dispatch will get someone to you. Hopefully, the worst of it is stepping on someone's toes. Might even be fun. [She might even have a date?]

[If you're out and about you might run into Kitty pretty much anywhere, but definitely surveying the costumes in the shops.]

	Mmmhmmm. I'm going to go look with Ton. And I might just be the opposite of a cat. [Cats don't have opposites.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	If you find the opposite of a cat, please tell me what it is. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh, you'll see it, and it will be awesome. Where do you want to eat dinner? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	candothat 2016-10-29 09:19 pm UTC (link)
	I look forward to it. Anywhere. Little Earth? It doesn't matter to me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-10-29 09:23 pm UTC (link)
	Little Earth sounds good. We could eat something Russian. [Fortunately, that didn't happen much with Piotr because of limited resources.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You want to eat Russian food? No one has ever willingly eaten Russian food with me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-10-29 10:22 pm UTC (link)
	I would love to have Russian food with you. But I can't promise there won't be an ice cream stop afterward. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	candothat 2016-10-30 12:54 am UTC (link)
	That would be fine because I would love to have ice cream with you. [He wants to hang out with her is what he's saying. Doesn't matter where or what they're eating.] You favorite is Rocky Road, correct? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[private] kitty_has_claws 2016-10-30 01:09 am UTC (link)
	You remembered. [Smiling. Are you always this cute, Pavel? She switches to private.] Play your cards right and I might just go home with you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[private] candothat 2016-10-30 09:32 pm UTC (link)
	Sometimes I remember things. [He's pleased that he did! And she's known him long enough to know that he's basically always this cute. He looks surprised.] You would? [They're possibly doing that again? It wasn't a one-time lapse?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[private] kitty_has_claws 2016-10-30 09:49 pm UTC (link)
	Is that surprising? We both said we liked it. [So close to a blush.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[private] candothat 2016-10-30 10:04 pm UTC (link)
	No. Yes. Kitty... [He is so bad at words and he doesn't know which ones are the right ones.] I don't understand what you would like. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: [private] kitty_has_claws 2016-10-30 10:11 pm UTC (link)
	[She shifts a little, uncomfortable because it's not like she's hiding it from him. She thought she was clear about her own confusion. But she also feels bad about it because he's sweet and she wants to be able to just fully embrace this but there's so much pain in her past that makes it hard.] Do we have to have that all figured out right now? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[private] candothat 2016-10-30 10:19 pm UTC (link)
	Of course not, no. [He's visibly uncomfortable, too. This is why saying things is the worst idea!] I only worry that something that I do will be too much or that I'll misunderstand and frighten you away. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[private] kitty_has_claws 2016-10-30 10:25 pm UTC (link)
	No, I... That's not what I meant by if you play your cards right. I was just teasing. I mean, it would be hard for you to play them wrong. I like you, Pavel. There's no one else I'd rather be making feel awkward along with me. [Soft smile.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Ah. [Relieved. Chekov isn't usually this fretful about things that don't involve life and death, but doing this right with Kitty is Important and he doesn't want his cluelessness to ruin anything. It's worth fretting about.]

I also [there's an infinitesimally small stumble as his brain tries to throw in a word that no one's ready for] like you, and there is no one else I'd rather have making me feel awkward along with them.

	[She smiles back at him, genuinely touched by how sweet he is.] Then I will find something to wear for tomorrow and I'll see you a little later tonight for dinner and dessert and a sleepover. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[private] candothat 2016-10-30 11:12 pm UTC (link)
	This is a good plan. [And he might show up to dinner in a wig or glasses, depending on which Russian genius he decides to dress as.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[private] kitty_has_claws 2016-10-30 11:19 pm UTC (link)
	[She will save her costume as a surprise for the next day.] That's why I'm a leader. Or something like that anyway. (Reply to this) (Parent)
