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.)

	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)

	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)

	...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)

	thisiscalm 2014-09-22 11:00 pm UTC (link)
	Maybe in your world. Not in mine. [ A beat. ] It was 2013, last I was home. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2014-09-22 11:03 pm UTC (link)
	[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)

	kitty_has_claws 2014-09-23 12:50 pm UTC (link)
	[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)

	thisiscalm 2014-09-23 01:10 pm UTC (link)
	[ Ah, here we go. ] I don't have any. Mutants don't exist in my world... at least not in the sense you're familiar with. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2014-09-23 01:12 pm UTC (link)
	[She looks over at him with some measure of a surprise.] You're not a mutant? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2014-09-23 01:13 pm UTC (link)
	No. I'm not. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2014-09-23 01:15 pm UTC (link)
	But you're comfortable sleeping with one? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2014-09-23 01:18 pm UTC (link)
	Why wouldn't I be? [ A beat. ] I trust you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2014-09-23 01:19 pm UTC (link)
	[She shifts uncomfortably.] What are the defensive capabilities of this place? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2014-09-23 01:25 pm UTC (link)
	Depends on what you mean by defensive capabilities. [ Sigh. ] It's a prison. I don't know what else to tell you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2014-09-23 02:20 pm UTC (link)
	Not all prisons are the same. What kind of guards are we up against? Why haven't I just phased through the dome? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2014-09-23 03:25 pm UTC (link)
	Because you can't. 1.6 miles under the ocean. Even if you could get through, can you stay phased long enough to reach the surface or will you pop like a balloon before then? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2014-09-23 05:27 pm UTC (link)
	I just need something to propel me fast enough to make it work. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2014-09-23 08:50 pm UTC (link)
	...Don't. I'd rather have you in one peace when this is over tomorrow morning. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2014-09-23 09:10 pm UTC (link)
	[She was just pulling up the new pants over her shorts and phasing the shorts off.] What do you mean...over? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2014-09-23 09:35 pm UTC (link)
	This is what happens around here. One time, you spent most of the day as a ghost. As far as I know, you'll wake up in the morning and everything will be back to normal. [ So thin and fragile. Maybe this is just wishful thinking. Maybe he lost her again. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
