Re: Ye call this a labyrinth?
Posted: Fri Oct 12, 2012 1:40 pm"You'd have to ask them."
Re: Ye call this a labyrinth?
Posted: Fri Oct 12, 2012 2:35 pm"Yeah, I'll get right on that." Isabel said, taking a sip from her bottle. Which contained, obviously, water.

Posted: Fri Oct 12, 2012 2:38 pm"..so, why are you getting drunk in a hedge maze? Britain is famous for it's pubs."
Re: Ye call this a labyrinth?
Posted: Fri Oct 12, 2012 2:41 pm"I wanted to be somewhere quiet. With fewer people."
Re: Ye call this a labyrinth?
Posted: Fri Oct 12, 2012 3:29 pm"Should I leave, then?"
Re: Ye call this a labyrinth?
Posted: Fri Oct 12, 2012 6:59 pm"If you want." Isabel said "Its a free country."
Re: Ye call this a labyrinth?

Re: Ye call this a labyrinth?
Posted: Fri Oct 12, 2012 11:22 pm"God you're depressing."
Re: Ye call this a labyrinth?
Posted: Fri Oct 12, 2012 11:43 pm"And you're a pathetic drunk who thinks she has it so rough."
Re: Ye call this a labyrinth?
Posted: Fri Oct 12, 2012 11:54 pm"Not as bad as some, but worse than a lot of others." Isabel replied, with a shrug.
Re: Ye call this a labyrinth?
Posted: Fri Oct 12, 2012 11:55 pm"Oh, is that so? Well, why don't you tell me about it."
Re: Ye call this a labyrinth?
Posted: Sat Oct 13, 2012 12:02 am"My power forces me to choose between hurting myself, and hurting the innocent, unless I want to stand by and watch people suffer." Isabel said, holding up a finger "Half the world hates me just for existing and being a mutant" she held up a second "and" she held up a third and final finger "The man I'm in love with is not, and never can, be mine."

Re: Ye call this a labyrinth?
Posted: Sat Oct 13, 2012 7:01 pm"I'm a healer. Problem is, I do it by absorbing the injury or sickness. Once I do, I have to dump it into another living being, and it has to be a vertebrate. If I don't, I get whatever I pulled out."
Re: Ye call this a labyrinth?
Posted: Sat Oct 13, 2012 8:28 pm"And this is bad because?"
Re: Ye call this a labyrinth?
Posted: Sat Oct 13, 2012 9:11 pm"Because in order to heal someone, I have to inflict suffering."
Re: Ye call this a labyrinth?
Posted: Sun Oct 14, 2012 2:37 pm"Yeah, well, life's a zero-sum game, kiddo. You're not inflicting suffering, you're moving it around. Next?"
Re: Ye call this a labyrinth?
Posted: Sun Oct 14, 2012 9:06 pm"If I'm the one moving it around, that makes me responsible." Isabel said "But anyway, maybe you've seen the news? In the US they're trying to make it illegal to be a mutant. We're surrounded by people who hate us, and want to wipe us out, just because we exist."
Re: Ye call this a labyrinth?
Posted: Sun Oct 14, 2012 11:46 pm"You really think this is trying to wipe you out? You really haven't been attending class."
Re: Ye call this a labyrinth?
Posted: Mon Oct 15, 2012 12:01 am"I think that this is the first step." Isabel bristled.
Re: Ye call this a labyrinth?
Posted: Mon Oct 15, 2012 12:31 am"The first step to? What exactly do you think is going to happen."
Re: Ye call this a labyrinth?
Posted: Mon Oct 15, 2012 1:00 am"Genocide."
Re: Ye call this a labyrinth?
Posted: Mon Oct 15, 2012 1:23 pmRoland was quiet for just a moment.
"That's not a word you want to be tossing around," he said, sternly.

Re: Ye call this a labyrinth?
Posted: Mon Oct 15, 2012 4:31 pm"I'm not tossing it around. You don't think that there are people out there who want to see all of us dead?"
Re: Ye call this a labyrinth?
Posted: Mon Oct 15, 2012 10:18 pm"Of course they are. There are people everywhere who want everyone dead."
Re: Ye call this a labyrinth?
Posted: Mon Oct 15, 2012 11:21 pm"But there are a lot of this them, and they seem to be getting laws passed."
Re: Ye call this a labyrinth?
Posted: Tue Oct 16, 2012 12:11 am"Yes, however shall you get around laws passed in one small part of the world by officials who are regularly, and uncontroversially, up for reelection."

Re: Ye call this a labyrinth?
Posted: Tue Oct 16, 2012 1:52 pm"You might want to check that influence scale again."
Re: Ye call this a labyrinth?
Posted: Tue Oct 16, 2012 5:31 pm"Yeah, because China fucking loves mutants."
Re: Ye call this a labyrinth?
