Where: Amongst the vines
When: Early Afternoon
What: Having a walk and thinking
Rating: PG-13
Status: Complete.

So, she was sharing a room with Chuck. And she was glad that he seemed to be behaving himself these past few days. She had eventually taken pity on him since he didn't get a good night's sleep, and allowed him to share the bed with her as long as he didn't try anything. After a few sexual hints, he had given up, and taken to just lying next to her and sleeping.

She walked among the vines, lost in thought. It was strange, seeing Chuck act like a gentleman. She knew he had it in him, but didn't exactly think he would show her that side of him. And it didn't help her try to fight the sudden urgee to be with him. She wanted to get back home and get back with Nate. That was how her life was supposed to be. With Nate, since she was so young, and until they died. She had always thought her life would run that smoothly, wealth and love. But it seemed that she was stuck here for a while and she would have to deal with that.

However, she refused to spend every waking hour with Chuck. She got away from him occasionally, but that was it. And she couldn't go on having no girlfriends to talk to. She needed girls, they understood how she felt, whereas Chuck would just laugh and tell her she should just get a drink and chill out.

So she set herself that task. She was going to find some girls she could speak too. And find out about what to do about Chuck.

Her suspicions had been right. Blair wasn't new today. She'd been here long enough to notice the change of scenery. When Blair let go of her hand, Illyana stuck it, and the free one, in the pockets of her jeans. "Chuck?" she asked, tilting her head to the side just a little.

Chuck was either someone Blair was friends with, or someone she'd recently met. The comment about him not being nice about a conversation made Illyana think he was someone she knew fairly well. "I'm on my own around here. I've met a couple of people, but no one named Chuck." She grinned, thinking back to her first day. "I met a Clark."

A pang of guilt shot through her as she mentioned the young man who'd been so helpful to her. She should look him up, now that she'd gotten more acclimated to the planet and all its weirdness. At least say thank you and prove she wasn't always a demonic basket-case.

"How long have you been here?" Illyana asked, refocusing her attention on Blair. It wouldn't do to alienate a potential friend by dwelling on another one.

"Chuck is my pain in the ass stalker. He seems to show up a lot when I'm there. And we just happen to be sharing a room. He's not done anything which I originally expected him to do, he's been a perfect gentleman since we got here." Blair laughed. "You meet Chuck, run for the hills. He's a bit of a womanizer."

Blair watched Illyana as she appeared to go off in her own thoughts for a moment and found herself also lost in thoughts of Chuck. Thoughts of what had happened the night before. She got dragged from the images by Illyana's question, and she quickly recovered, trying to not make it obvious.

"A few days." Blair frowned, thinking for a moment. "I came here the day before my birthday, I had a party planned. I've missed my birthday."

Stalker? Illyana frowned. "This Planet has a twisted sense of humor to put you with a stalker," she said. "If he starts giving you trouble, let me know. I'll have a chat with him." Granted, Illyana's "chat" would probably be more of a punch, but she'd never been one to tolerate that sort of thing. She smirked when Blair warned her away from Chuck. "He won't like me much, then. I have little patience for those types."

Flirting, Illyana could handle. Goodness knew 'Berto did enough of that at home. But 'Berto wasn't a womanizer. He hated men like that, as did Sam. And Piotr would pound such a man into the ground. That boy Amara liked in the Hellions, he was one that she'd consider a womanizer. No one really knew what Amara saw in him.

"That bites," Illyana said as Blair mentioned missing her birthday. "Happy birthday, for what it's worth." She offered a smile. "I was in the middle of something important when the Planet nabbed me, too. Don't know if it came out okay or not." She scowled, but then pulled herself back away from the darker thoughts. The last thing she needed was to alienate a new potential friend by going demon. Plus, she didn't know if that would sway her toward those darker impulses she could feel around the resort, and she didn't want to have to test her wards that much. "I was going to meet up with my older brother when I'd finished what I was doing. I hadn't seen him in a long time."

"Well, not exactly my stalker. He just likes to annoy me, so turns up wherever I am. It is weird how none of my friends are here other than Chuck. Especially after everything."

She frowned when the thought of what they had done ran through her mind again. She had to stop thinking about him, stop thinking about what she had done with him. As soon as she got back, she was fixing things up with Nate and everything would go back to normal and she could forget her stupid mistake.

"Oh, I'm sorry to hear that, not getting to see your brother. It must be awful not seeing him."

She knew what it was like not seeing anyone. After all, her father had left.

Ah. Figure of speech. Despite living in the United States for the last several years, Illyana still had trouble with some of them. She knew some of the slang, thanks to Kitty and Dani, but not everything. Apparently, 'stalker' didn't necessarily refer to a bad person? Good thing to note. "It's probably a good thing none of your other friends are here," Illyana said. "Although, I do envy you a bit, having someone you know here. But, you wouldn't want to condemn your other frends to this place. Much as I miss my dear Piotr, I wouldn't want him to be stuck here as well."

She looked off into the distance for a moment before continuing her thoughts. "I do miss Piotr very much. He's the only family I had in the US. My parents live in the Soviet Union, but they sent us to a...private school in New York." That was probably the best way to explain Xavier's school. It was private, after all. Very exclusive. "He and I were going to have a little reunion, once my...tests...were finished."

She grinned, trying hard not to let herself fall into sadness again. "Still, I'm sure I will see him again. We can't stay here forever, right?"

"I can imagine my friends demanding to be let home not long after being brought here. I can, so far, stand it. After all, every need catered for and it is beautiful."

Except Chuck was here. She'd have to deal with that. Unfortunately.

"I hope we're not stuck here. I need to get back home eventually."

She was horrified at the thought that she could be stuck her forever. It was a nice enough place to spend a short period of time, but the rest of her life? She wouldn't be able to stand for it.

"So, think of it like a vacation?" Illyana asked. She hadn't really considered that angle. She'd been so concerned with getting home. And honestly, when was the last time the New Mutants had been able to just relax and have a holiday? She couldn't think of one. "That's a really good attitude to have about this place," she said. Clearly, Blair was a more optimistic person than she was. Then again, she doubted Blair had the same horrors in her past that Illyana did.

She nodded as the other girl said she needed to go home. "We all do," she said. "I'm sure we'll figure out a way to do it, too. But thinking about this place like a little vacation might help make it easier to deal with until we do."

She smiled at Blair, then realized that she hadn't let the other girl do much talking so far. "What's it like where you're from?" she asked.

"Yeah, a bit like a vacation, I guess. Though the way things are here remind me a lot of home."

Blair shrugged, she never had been one for caring about other people's lives unless she could use it for her own means, so she didn't feel like contributing to the fact that everyone wanted to go home. After all,in Blair's way of thinking, nothing was more important than her own situation, but she would barely admit to that thought.

"It's...interesting at times."

Blair couldn't think of a good way to describe the Upper East Side, and she wasn't sure if this girl would know much about it.

Illyana tilted her head to one side. "In what way do they remind you of home?" she asked. Aside from the dorm-like living arrangements, nothing here was like living in Westchester. Except for that low-grade feeling of darkness, which wasn't exactly typical at home, but it served as a reminder that nowhere was a peaceful as it appeared.

"Is your home as beautiful as these surroundings?" Illyana asked, trying to figure out what Blair had meant by her comment. "Where exactly are you from? You sound American." Illyana's own accent was more or less American-sounding, save for a few sounds that lapsed into a more Russian pronunciation. It was far less obvious than Piotr's accent, but it was probably noticeable to someone listening carefully.

	Blair shrugged, avoiding her first question. The truth was, she always had whatever she wanted when she wanted it at home, so here wasn't that different. "I am American. And I guess it's beautiful, at times. I'm from New York." (OOC: sorry about taking ages to reply and having such a short reply, college is killing me right now.) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

At the mention of New York, Illyana's eyes lit up. The girl might be from her own world! How many New Yorks could there possibly be, after all? "My school is in New York," she said, eagerness lacing her voice. "About an hour north of the City. Are you in the City, or upstate, or elsewhere in the state?" She grinned. "It is a beautiful place, most of the time. Parts of the City can be rather dirty, but Piotr tells me that's typical of any city."

Knowing Blair's home situation would probably not have bothered Illyana much. She'd find it remarkably similar to 'Berto's, if she knew about it. Although, there were things about 'Berto's attitude as a result of that lifestyle that she found annoying, particularly whereas in her culture one had to work hard for anything one wanted, but the Professor had always stressed tolerance for other points of view and other lifestyles.

"Upper East Side," she told her, more than happy to admit coming from such a wealthy part. The Upper East Side was a wanted area for so many and the fact she was born into living there made her so willing to continue staying. "I wouldn't know about the parts that aren't nice, I never set foot in them. Especially if it's as bad as Brooklyn."

She hated that place, they were beneath her, but luckily she never had to spend much time there.

Illyana grinned. "Upper East Side is so beautiful!" she said. Piotr had taken her all over the city when she'd first arrived in America, so she'd seen almost all of the different neighborhoods. And Dani had insisted they do some fancy window shopping last time they'd been allowed into the city, much to Rahne's displeasure. "Can you see the park from your home?" she asked.

"You're very lucky to not have to visit the nastier sections of the city. I've been once, but I don't know which section it was, and it wasn't by choice." She shuddered, remembering how Arcade had taken her to one of his evil twisted places in a very run down section of New York, way back when she was very young. Only a couple of years ago, for her brother and everyone else who'd helped set her free, but ages ago for Illyana. She didn't like thinking about it.

"We don't get to go into the City very often," she continued, determined to pull the conversation back to something a little happier. "Our headmaster is very strict about outside visits. But the city of Westchester is very pretty. It has one of those "classic American town" main streets, or so I'm told. I haven't seen enough classic towns to really understand it."

Blair nodded in response to her question. Of course she could see the park, she wouldn't expect any less than a home with a good view, inside and out.

"I live in a penthouse, so I can see a lot of the city around me."

Blair smirked at Illyana's obvious distaste of the time she spent in those areas of the city well below the standards of the Upper East Side. She instantly knew she had a potential friend in this girl, one who wouldn't be too hard to train into following her, much like she had done with many other girls before.

"So, boarding school then?"
