closed; someone is learning the colors of all your moods
Who: sollux and kit
Where: trailblazer dorms!!
When: a while... ago.... (after this)
What: CYBORGS
Warnings: kit being awful probably
It's been exactly 57 minutes since Kit last replied to Sollux on the network. The linoleum floor of the building's lobby is colder than it should be against her feet, and a quick systems diagnostic alerts Kit that she's forgotten to put on shoes again. At least she's wearing pants this time.
The security guard is giving her shifty glances and Kit tries to smile reassuringly at her, which seems to have the opposite effect. Her toes curl against the floor, and she taps idly in morse code on the back of her hand. Dot dash. Zero one. On off. Morse was technically quinary of course, but sometimes technicalities got in the way of good metaphors. She doesn't know what she'll do when she sees Gemini. Kit ordinarily wouldn't even consider stepping into such a heavily surveilled government building, but talking to that Alternian had felt like the first real conversation of her life. She has to see him again.
After what seems like an eternity but is actually 4 minutes and 36 seconds, the security guard finally gets off the phone and buzzes Kit through the second set of doors. Maybe the floor on the other side will be a little warmer.
