Day 412 The rewind
[Video/Action | OPEN]
So that...happened.

I've been here for awhile and for those of you who are on the newer side of things, I wish I had some keen insight for you, but that's just one of the games they play. It was kind of a remix of some of their old ones. [She's seen people remember more future before and seen people think they were connected to others in new ways. She had a husband for a day once before.] I think it's just important to remember who you are without their toying and lean on people when you need to. We're in this together.

I don't think what we saw was a real future even if parts of it seemed like they were. There were some conflicting outlooks. Of course, that hasn't stopped me from trying to remember exactly how we overthrew them in mine. [It hasn't stopped her from thinking about a lot of things it brought up.]

Anyway... [She hopes you're all okay. She would have been better at saying that yesterday when it was still twenty years from now. So, she just ends the feed there and you might find her out and about looking particularly thoughtful. Maybe absently walking through solid objects including you! As one does.]

[Action | Closed to Chekov]
[Before her broadcast or any other calls there is just a girl waking up next to a boy. Everything feels right at first. She snuggles closer and the details don't feel important. Are they still in the future? Was yesterday a dream or an experiment? It doesn't matter yet. She's only half awake and warm and comfortable.]

[Video | Closed to Jack]
Hey, so, how are things? [Concerned but also unsure how to ask if yesterday ruined his relationships for real.]

[Video | Closed to Ianto]
Need a coffee? [Code for "let's talk."]

[She hugs back and didn't see it as insensitive at all. Maybe she shouldn't have brought hers up while they were talking about his anxieties! She just wanted him to know he wasn't really alone. And to be honest about what he might be facing. She knows those relationships left scars...maybe open wounds. What he says makes her smile and she almost says the words, but she holds them back again.]

You've never disappointed me.

[He really isn't afraid of those scars and wounds. Maybe he should be, and maybe he'll regret not being more cautious, but his heart has already decided that it loves all of her, including that ugly past and the damage it left behind. He wants to be good for her. He doesn't want to add to that string of relationship disasters.]

I'll do everything that I can to keep that true. [He lets go of her and kisses her forehead.] Look, both of us have been honest and neither of us is running away.

	That's a pretty great start. [Looking at him so fondly.] Or continuation. [It's not like they just started today although it feels like it almost as much as it feels like they are an old married couple.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Whatever it is, it is great. [He feels like he's loved her forever. Time needs to stop going all nonlinear on them.] Although not perfect. There are some things that we did for the first time yesterday without appreciating that it was the first time. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2017-02-05 04:15 am UTC (link)
	That is very, very true. [Draping her arms over his shoulders.] How could we know? You don't usually expect first times to be that good. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	candothat 2017-02-08 04:17 am UTC (link)
	The first is never as good as the two thousand eight hundred eighty-eighth, I imagine. I hope that no unrealistic expectations have been set. [It still bothers him a little, but not as much as that other thing that happened for the first time yesterday.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2017-02-08 02:31 pm UTC (link)
	Hey, don't worry about that. [Leaning in to kiss his cheek.] It's just us, you know? No one's keeping score. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	candothat 2017-02-09 04:05 am UTC (link)
	I am, but I promise that I'm scoring me and not you. Your score is perfect already. [He puts his arms around her and rests his head against hers.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2017-02-09 04:16 am UTC (link)
	We get scored as a team, sir. Team perfect. Really, don't worry about it. I'm not. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	candothat 2017-02-09 05:18 am UTC (link)
	You're making it very difficult to worry. [Seriously, he has a lot that he suspects he needs to worry about but she keeps talking him down.] ...Also, I think you agreed with me that you're perfect. Thank you for accepting my assessment. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Never disagree with a man calling you perfect. [She doesn't see herself that way and thinking he really might would scare her more than thrill her. She doesn't want to fall of any more pedestals. She wants to be see and loved for who she is so that she doesn't give her heart to someone who will want to hand it back. But she doesn't think of it as anything literal, so it's okay.]

And making you not worry is my evil plan. I see it's working.

	['Perfect' is only a literal concept in mathematics. Kitty isn't math, so she's safe.] If that's your evil plan, what are your good plans like? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2017-02-09 05:53 am UTC (link)
	[She's never been more happy to not be math.] Cuddling with you? That counts as a plan, right? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	candothat 2017-02-09 07:02 am UTC (link)
	[He's happy about that, too. Math is the worst at cuddling.] It counts and it's the best plan I have heard today. [Kitty might have noticed that snuggling in the morning is one of his favorite things ever.] When I woke up today, I was afraid that it would be different with us. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2017-02-09 01:32 pm UTC (link)
	[That's good because it's one of her favorite things ever too.] There are probably going to be a lot of mornings that feel like that here. This place is like a constant stress test. But I really like the way things are. I mean, I wish I was coming to you with less baggage. But it means a lot to me that you're understanding about it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	candothat 2017-02-11 02:07 am UTC (link)
	I [don't say love don't say love] care about all of you. That includes your baggage. Also, you're understanding of mine. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2017-02-11 02:48 am UTC (link)
	You have baggage? Is it like a coin purse? [Brushing fingers through his hair.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	candothat 2017-02-11 03:11 am UTC (link)
	Maybe slightly smaller. [He smiles and leans closer.] Someday I can tell you sad things about myself if it would make you feel better. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2017-02-11 03:14 am UTC (link)
	If that makes me feel better then there is something very wrong with me. [Stealing a kiss while he's close.] But I would like to know more about you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	candothat 2017-02-11 05:37 am UTC (link)
	[She doesn't need to steal when he's so happy to give her another.] Gold is my favorite color. Now you know all of the important things. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2017-02-11 05:41 am UTC (link)
	There have to be a couple more things. Favorite ice cream flavor? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	candothat 2017-02-11 06:18 am UTC (link)
	Pistachio. Also important: I have never been able to spell that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2017-02-11 06:21 am UTC (link)
	As long as you're with me, you'll never have to. [She holds a hand out to shake on it. Trying to act serious even as a smile threatens to break through.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	candothat 2017-02-11 06:42 am UTC (link)
	[He takes her hand with no attempt to hide his own smile.] Thank you. I see that I was right to trust you with that secret. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2017-02-11 08:29 pm UTC (link)
	Well, I want to be here for you in times of good spelling and bad. Only here for good karaoke though. A girl has to draw the line somewhere. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
