Day 290 | Open Action | Rewound

[ Closed | Action | Housemates ]
[Kitty feels the morning upon her and a body by her side—warm, soft, and utterly wrong. Her eyes shoot open and dart around the room. No immediate threats except this sleeping man who is definitely not Piotr by any stretch of the imagination. She's never seen this space before but there is something eerily familiar about it. Tomorrow she may be able to place that it's just knowing things are of her taste and in arrangements she might make. Tomorrow that will make sense. Today, it's just a piece of a very large puzzle she must sort through.

Her mind spins as she tries to get a handle on things. They were in battle. Piotr was threatening the mission. She stood in his way as he charged to talk him down and then... And then nothing. Nothing past that. No connection to this moment. Is this...? Is this it? Is this what happens after they reset the timeline? Did they retain their memories?

Or is it a trick? Did they fail? Was she taken? Is this some telepath's illusion? She needed answers and she needed them fast. She makes a grab for the nearest weapon—in this case, a hairbrush. In a quick move she straddles her prey weightlessly and plunges the brush through his chest. The handle falling into his heart—phased and harmless for now.]

Wake up. Move and I let go of this. I let go and it fuses with your heart and you die. I have questions. You need good answers to keep living.

[ Open | Action ]
[Kitty didn't take her communicator with her this morning. In truth she didn't even realize it was hers. As luck would have it she also didn't take her claws, not seeing where she had secured them the night before. She can still be dangerous though. She eyes the prison with suspicion as she explores.

She doesn't remember anything of her time here. Her last memories are of battle at home. She doesn't remember taking over the Defense Force or learning to love again after Piotr. She doesn't even remember what it's like to have humans not fear and hate her for what she is. She's moving stealthily, but she's bound to encounter others.]

(OOC: Just as a warning she is very distrusting right now and she could be dangerous. If that's not an avenue you want to hazard you may not want to engage. Then again, she's not needlessly violent so danger is also not a promise! She speaks English and Japanese among other languages. If your character does not speak one of these then please let me know what they are speaking in the tag. They will still understand her as long as they have their communicator on.)

	[His reaction feels very genuine, but she holds firm. It isn't too much of a surprise that he knows her name. Not compared to everything else.] Who are you? Where have you brought me? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ Well fuck. Should've seen it coming, just like she can probably see his heart drop straight into his stomach at her response. This much movement this early in the morning is not good for hearts. It may just break before the day is over. ]

I didn't bring you here. You're in MarinaNova Asylum and you've been here for 266 days. Maybe you don't remember it right now, but it's true.

	[Her eyes narrow and don't think for a moment she missed that he just skipped her first question.] Are you hoping if the lie is ridiculous enough I'll have no choice but to think it must be the truth? Are you with Apocalypse? If I let go will this illusion disappear? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	No! No... Kitty, please. Killing me isn't going to solve anything. Please... take the brush out. [ If that's not a desperate whimper, I don't know what is. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[This gambit comes with time constraints as it is. She can't keep herself and it phased indefinitely. And she's never exactly been the kill them while they beg for mercy type. She does what she has to do, but this... She isn't convinced it's necessary yet. She keeps her eyes on him as she slowly pulls the brush free.]

You stay real nice and still and we'll get along fine. I asked you who you are.

	[ He breathes a shuddering sigh of relief, but reprieve is short lived. This is his worst nightmare, save for watching her die. Actually, this might actually be worse. ] I'm Doctor Spencer Reid with the Behavioral Analysis Unit of the FBI. You first met me when I arrived here on day 148. We work together on the Defence Force and we've been dating for 126 days. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Actually that too ridiculous to be a lie thing is kind of working on her. None of this makes sense. FBI? There hasn't been a federal anything for years.] You should have done your homework. I'm married. [Except... That's not exactly a secret. Apocalypse's forces would know that. A telepath would know. Is he trying to get her off balance?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2014-09-22 09:00 pm UTC (link)
	I know. Piotr. He's a farmer and a painter and ever since the accident, he can't turn back to flesh or it'll kill him. Why would I lie about this, Kitty? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2014-09-22 09:07 pm UTC (link)
	[She just stares at him. Cracks are starting to show in her resolve and she slides off of his body and off the bed completely.] Don't move. [She needs a little distance. Taking a step back.] Say it's true. Why would I leave my husband for you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2014-09-22 09:09 pm UTC (link)
	[ The difficult thing with this is that the answers are so easy to find. She told him all this. She confided in him and now he'll either end up killed or break her heart all over again. ] ...because he was about to kill you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

He would never kill me. [But there was just a thread of doubt in her voice as she said it. After all, she'd been thinking he was the reason their students all died. She couldn't confirm it, but...] He loves me. [Overcompensating somewhat.

She moves further from the bed, cautious movements, keeping her eye on him in the bed as she approaches the window. She lines up to the side of the wall and pulls the curtain back just enough to gaze through at the side.]

...Where the hell am I?

	[ He doesn't argue. Right now he's happy that he can breathe freely so there will be no pushing of luck tonight. His eyes follow her as she moves through the room but aside from that, he's mostly still. ] Like I said... MarinaNova Asylum. 1.3 miles under sea level. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Why would I wake up without remembering this? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2014-09-22 09:31 pm UTC (link)
	Because that's what happens here. [ Such a thin, fragile voice. ] You wake up with more memories... or less. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[She moves away from the window and her eyes stray to a framed picture of the two of them clearly in some kind of photo booth. They look...happy.] Why? What do they have to gain from it? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2014-09-22 09:47 pm UTC (link)
	I don't know. We've been trying to figure it out, but... no luck so far. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2014-09-22 10:01 pm UTC (link)
	Why should I believe any of what you're telling me? [Maybe the worst part of this is that a part of her does feel like he's telling her the truth. She's usually a good judge of that sort of thing. A pack of cigarettes sitting by "her" side of the bed. Clothes peeking out of the closet that look like things she'd choose.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2014-09-22 10:07 pm UTC (link)
	...You have no reason to. You don't even know who I am. [ His voice isn't cracking. Nope nope. ] I have no reason to lie to you, either. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2014-09-22 10:39 pm UTC (link)
	[The crack that is totally not very noticeable there in his voice shouldn't bother her. There's a pause as she sets the frame down so the happy couple isn't looking at her. She moves to the closet removing something a little less revealing than a tank top and shorts.] You don't look old enough to have been in the FBI when it was still around.

	[ He shifts a little when she goes looking for clothes, slowly pushing himself up to sit and doing his best not to notice what she did with the photo. ] I joined when I was 22. I've been in the Bureau almost nine years. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2014-09-22 10:48 pm UTC (link)
	Bureau's been gone at least six or seven years. [She notices him sit up and there is a look, but she doesn't order him back down.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[The time is definitely off.] World? You're from a different dimension? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2014-09-23 10:13 am UTC (link)
	Dimension, world, reality, universe... whatever you want to call it. I know Chicago is destroyed in the cullings in your world, but it isn't in mine. One of my best friends is from Chicago. Just like you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[She can accept different realities. Leaving her husband? That's harder to swallow. She tugs a long-sleeved shirt over the tank top she woke up in.] What kind of powers do you have, agent? [No, it never occurred to her she might be dating a non-mutant. Even if the jury is still out on how that part could be true.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
