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.)

	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)

	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)

	I just need something to propel me fast enough to make it work. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	...Don't. I'd rather have you in one peace when this is over tomorrow morning. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[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)

	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)

	kitty_has_claws 2014-09-25 01:07 am UTC (link)
	So we sometimes lose our memories and sometimes it's all just a day trip? This is some place you've got here, agent. [She grabs for the cigarettes on the table. Priorities.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2014-09-25 09:51 am UTC (link)
	It's not my place. [ In so many ways. He never wanted to be back home more than right now. Not even when he first arrived. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2014-09-26 04:44 am UTC (link)
	Yeah, well, you can consider this my moving out notice so even if this isn't your place this [and wave] can be. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ There's no answer to that. He's biting his lip way too hard to be able to produce sound. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[If this is all an act it's a convincing one. He seems appropriately hurt for the situation. She even finds herself feeling bad for him, but what is she supposed to believe here? That Piotr was going to kill her? That she's really moved on from her life and the X-Men and her husband? That she lives in a bubble under the sea, pulled out for crimes when no one else was? She's seen and done a lot of implausible to nearly impossible things, but how is she supposed to believe all or any of that a few minutes after waking up with no memories of it? She won't. She can't.]

I can let myself out. You won't have to worry about any more hairbrushes. [It's a good time to go, but her gaze lingers on him, trying to figure it all out.]

	[ Under different circumstances he probably would've nurtured a small flame of hope at her behaviour, but this is the last drop in a cup that was already filled well beyond the brim. ] I'm sure you can. Don't even need to find the door. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Okay, those sad eyes are undoing her a little. It's not something she's used to okay? Hate. Fear. Manic excitement at trying to kill her? Those she understands from strangers. This?]

Listen, if you're not a part of all this...

[Then what? She's not going to hurt him? She already said as much.]

I'll find what's messing with us and put a stop to it. [Maybe that's all it is. Both their memories are being altered? She takes a step backward toward one of the outer walls.]

	Sure. Let me know how that works out for you. [ Just leave already so he can cry. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2014-09-27 05:36 pm UTC (link)
	[As it turns out she's going to do just that. She can't let herself get distracted with all of this. It's just a piece of the puzzle, right? Out the wall she goes.] (Reply to this) (Parent)
