Ye call this a labyrinth?

"Didn't you lot destroy, like, 50,000 of those without breaking a sweat?"

"A bunch of people got very lucky." Isabel said "Besides, it just proves that the government hates us."

by **Roland Sackville** » Thu Oct 18, 2012 2:32 pm

"The government does no such thing. The government doesn't have feelings or opinions. Politicians do. And they come and go."

"And how long would it take them to kill thousands of us? Millions?"

by **Roland Sackville** » Thu Oct 18, 2012 5:32 pm

"I think the modern day record is about two million a year."

by **Isabel Galen** » Thu Oct 18, 2012 5:39 pm

"And how many of us are there?"

by **Roland Sackville** » Thu Oct 18, 2012 5:45 pm

"That number is harder to come by."

by **Isabel Galen** » Thu Oct 18, 2012 10:47 pm

"And with the MRA, they'll have a number, in the US." Isabel replied "And be able to make a good guess about the number of mutants elsewhere."

"And you're calling this genocide, when what it is, at the moment, is a census.

Oh, don't get me wrong -- this is how these things start. Trust me. It's happened time and time again throughout history. I know. But calling this genocide? I know, let's go to Somalia and ask them if this counts as genocide. Or the Congo. Maybe Brazil?

You're complaining about a foregone conclusion after step 1. Call it a genocide when it gets to genocide, do things to stop it before it gets there.

Honestly, you're being just as offensive as they are here," he said, practically bristling. "Genocide. Honestly."

by **Isabel Galen** » Fri Oct 19, 2012 6:21 pm

"Ok, so its the lead up to genocide, and not actually genocide yet." Isabel said "We still can't do a damn thing about it."

by **Roland Sackville** » Fri Oct 19, 2012 6:58 pm

"You know why? Because a bunch of people, like you, say there's nothing you can do about it. Inaction. Just sit back and let it happen, why don't you. Or just smile and nod."

by **Isabel Galen** » Fri Oct 19, 2012 10:22 pm

"What the hell can I do?" Isabel said "I went fucking door to door this summer, trying to get people to call the House, then the Senate, then the President, about not making the MRA a law. We lost. We lost, and before long we're all going to be dead."

by **Roland Sackville** » Fri Oct 19, 2012 11:57 pm

"If you're going to end up dead anyway, what are you waiting for?

Seriously, all this fatalism bullshit needs to stop."

"Ok, so I'll quit whining and just go jump off a bridge. See you around." Isabel said, starting to stand up.

by **Roland Sackville** » Sat Oct 20, 2012 12:30 am

"Right then. Ugh, and you call yourself...goths, was it? Ugh."

by **Isabel Galen** » Sat Oct 20, 2012 1:27 am

"Why do you care?"

by **Roland Sackville** » Sat Oct 20, 2012 1:37 am

"Because I like to get the nomenclature straight when I know who I'm cursing to the gods. Come on now. You know how precious life is? And yet you're wasting it. I'm not even talking about your jump off a bridge quip -- tip, the "see you around" kinda takes away from that -- I'm talking about you sitting here moping over something still very much in question, not to mention in control. And if things do go to shit? You'll complain about your powers not helping, or helping in the wrong way. Here's the thing, Isabel -- history is written by those who show up. If you don't suit up, you're not in the scoresheet at the end of the day, and history doesn't remember bench warmers."

by **Isabel Galen** » Sat Oct 20, 2012 2:02 pm

"So what? I show up, and my life sucks. I don't and my life sucks. No matter what I do, I'm going to be fucking miserable. So why should I give a fuck? Let me guess, I should shut up, use my powers and be a useful little mutie."

by **Roland Sackville** » Sat Oct 20, 2012 2:45 pm

"You know why you're going to be 'fucking miserable'? Because you've already decided that's the case."

by **Isabel Galen** » Sat Oct 20, 2012 11:17 pm

"Well, yes, I am in fact miserable." Isabel said "I have reason to be."

"You're luckier than 99% of the world today -- not to mention the world long ago."

by **Isabel Galen** » Sun Oct 21, 2012 12:56 am

"Yes, I know. I'm not a AIDS infected war orphan in Darfur." Isabel said "I know that I've got it better than a lot of people."

by **Roland Sackville** » Sun Oct 21, 2012 8:22 pm

"Just a little perspective. I mean, take this man you're in love with. Really? I mean, really?"

by **Isabel Galen** » Sun Oct 21, 2012 8:50 pm

"Yes, really, I love him."

by **Roland Sackville** » Sun Oct 21, 2012 8:56 pm

"And he doesn't return the feeling?"

by **Isabel Galen** » Sun Oct 21, 2012 9:36 pm

"Nope."

by **Roland Sackville** » Sun Oct 21, 2012 9:42 pm

"You're sure of that? Because if I had half a crown for every time someone was sure about that..."

by **Isabel Galen** » Sun Oct 21, 2012 9:51 pm

"I'm positive. This is the real thing. Forever."

by **Roland Sackville** » Sun Oct 21, 2012 9:58 pm

"I wasn't even talking about that, because if you ever think you know what the real thing is, you're likely wrong."

by **Isabel Galen** » Sun Oct 21, 2012 10:00 pm

"What were you talking about?"

by **Roland Sackville** » Sun Oct 21, 2012 10:04 pm

"I asked if you were sure he didn't return the feelings."

by **Isabel Galen** » Sun Oct 21, 2012 10:05 pm

"Even if he did, it doesn't matter. He's married, they have a child. He'd never leave his wife."

by **Roland Sackville** » Sun Oct 21, 2012 10:08 pm

"And you know that for a fact?"

by **Isabel Galen** » Sun Oct 21, 2012 10:14 pm

"If he was the kind of man who is capable of being unfaithful, I wouldn't love him so much."

by **Roland Sackville** » Sun Oct 21, 2012 11:05 pm

"..have you ever spoken to this person?"

by **Isabel Galen** » Sun Oct 21, 2012 11:39 pm

"Yes, of course." Isabel said "I couldn't be sure I love him if I hadn't."

by **Roland Sackville** » Mon Oct 22, 2012 12:34 am

"Have you spoken to him about THAT?"

by **Isabel Galen** » Mon Oct 22, 2012 12:57 am

"No, of course not." Isabel said "If I did, if I told him how I felt, he'd...it would be too awkward. He'd never speak to me again."

by **Roland Sackville** » Mon Oct 22, 2012 1:32 pm

"...I didn't think your power was telepathy, but you sure seem you know what he thinks."

by **Isabel Galen** » Mon Oct 22, 2012 2:21 pm

"I'm not a telepath, but I know him."
