(( OOC: Happy Halloween - sort of! EVENT INFO ))

	[You know who should talk in person more often? These guys, that's who.] Fashionable. [Gaeta is referring to Chicago. He's also pretending that he doesn't really want to pet said dog and tell her that she's an adorable puppy.] Would've thought you'd have a cat. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I can't have people thinking they can predict what I'm going to do. Had to be a dog. [What if Chicago doesn't give him a choice? What if she moves in for eager sniffing and makes a hopeful whine for pets? Your move, space man!] And then I had to dress her as an insect. It's all part of my plan. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That sounds like a terrible plan. [He bends over to ruffle Chicago's ears, but only because she insists.] You're a good girl, aren't you? [The dog, not Kitty. Of course.] What's her name? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-11-17 11:19 pm UTC (link)
	It worked on you, didn't it? [In what way? It doesn't matter.] Chicago. [There's an amused glint in her eye. She sees you being into the dog, Gaeta. Chicago sees it too and happily soaks it all in. She's a good girl! The best!] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	didwhaticould 2016-11-17 11:45 pm UTC (link)
	No. [He has no idea, but whatever was going on, it didn't work!] Chicago. [Not quite cooing at the dog. Definitely giving up on acting like he doesn't like animals at least ten times more than he likes people.] After the city you're from, right? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-11-18 08:32 am UTC (link)
	You remembered. [Chicago will absorb all of this affection and even give some back!] Do you have a pet? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	didwhaticould 2016-11-18 09:43 pm UTC (link)
	[He did remember! He can do good-friend-things even if he doesn't have friends!] No. I don't want to get too comfortable here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-11-18 09:46 pm UTC (link)
	[Prove this lack of friendship!] You think that will affect the outcome? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	didwhaticould 2016-11-18 09:54 pm UTC (link)
	[The burden of proof is on the person asserting that something exists.] Probably not, but I can feel like I'm at least trying to leave. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-11-18 10:01 pm UTC (link)
	[Ugh, so difficult.] What are you doing to try other than not getting a pet? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	didwhaticould 2016-11-18 10:07 pm UTC (link)
	[<3] I've been... [Um. Shit.] You're asking the hard questions today. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-11-18 10:11 pm UTC (link)
	I think if we're being honest here you'll see you brought that one on yourself. [She looks amused as Chicago nudges his hand because it stopped doing the petting but she's still such a good girl!] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	didwhaticould 2016-11-18 10:23 pm UTC (link)
	I did. You got me. [Chicago can have both hands because she's a gooood dog. Just as good as Jake the dog and Jake helped save humanity!] What should I be doing, Kitty? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-11-18 10:39 pm UTC (link)
	[That is a good dog! The amused look fades into something more thoughtful for a moment.] I really, really wish I knew. [Because nothing she's tried has worked yet.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	didwhaticould 2016-11-18 10:56 pm UTC (link)
	[This took a turn for the depressing. Does Chicago like hugs? She's getting a hug.] Guess there's no reason not to get a pet. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-11-18 11:04 pm UTC (link)
	[Tiny dog whine of concern but she doesn't mind the hug.] Yeah... Well, sometimes it's just about survival. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	didwhaticould 2016-11-18 11:20 pm UTC (link)
	[Such a good dog. ;;] Is that what we're doing here? Surviving? We're eating at restaurants and going to dances. The biggest struggle I faced today was trying to decide which book to read. Survival should be harder than this. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-11-18 11:40 pm UTC (link)
	Maybe survival is just something different here. [Maybe it's keeping your past from catching up and overtaking you. Maybe it's trying to deal with a future that seems almost attainable but still so unstable.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	didwhaticould 2016-11-19 12:07 am UTC (link)
	Maybe. [Whatever it is, it almost feels harder than the kind of survival that involves struggling to help keep what remains of humanity alive and functioning. There's too much time to think and nothing productive to do. There's no point.] There's nothing to do but keep going, anyway. Isn't that right, Chicago? [Share your doggy wisdom.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-11-19 12:15 pm UTC (link)
	[That's because it is.] [Chicago barks.] Back home even after my city was culled people found a way to go on there. Enough that Apocalypse sent forces in for a second culling. The X-Men were there to stop them though. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	didwhaticould 2016-11-19 03:29 pm UTC (link)
	[Does Kitty really want her dog back? Because Gaeta would take her off of her hands. Brilliant conversationalist, Chicago.] Did you stop them? Did you save anyone? [He needs the answer to be yes.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-11-19 05:09 pm UTC (link)
	[Paws off, Gaeta!] They did. I had a different mission at that time. [You might not want to ask about survivors there, but she did save one person.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	didwhaticould 2016-11-20 12:41 am UTC (link)
	[But!] Yeah? I thought that you were one of them. [It's not quite a request for elaboration. More like an invitation to expand if she wants to.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-11-29 11:41 pm UTC (link)
	I am. [Not past tense.] There were a lot of us. We were split into smaller squads to cover more ground. We needed to rescue an important prisoner from a work camp. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	didwhaticould 2016-11-30 11:07 pm UTC (link)
	It'd be hard to go into a place like that knowing you were only freeing one person. [Which is about as close as he's going to get to saying anything about personal experiences involving trying to save people from camps. Stop living a life that parallels his, Kitty. It's sad.] Was that mission successful? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
