[ When you're a member of a secret assassination squad one can probably guarantee there's a lot of secrets that have to be kept from everyone. Especially when you throw in the fact that Betsy's the resident telepath of said squad. Telepaths always have the most secrets. Which is why Betsy's tried exceptionally hard to resist the urge to confess anything at all. It can't be resisted forever though and now it's her time. ]

The love of my life became a monster. Our job was to stop monsters. To stop threats to mutants. I knew he had to be stopped, but I didn't act. I had the opportunity to end it all, to save thousands of lives, but I couldn't bring myself to do it. More than five thousand people died because I let him live.

[ She pauses for a moment and her voice is filled with irritation when she speaks again. ]

I sold my capacity to feel sorrow to Krokwel the master of the Lords of the Thousand Sorrows in Otherworld. I'm glad I did. I don't feel anything quite the way one should anymore, but it's let me do what needs to be done since and I have no regrets about the lives I've taken. [ Possibly because she can't really have regrets now the same way most can. Whoops. ]

I'm a telepath. My role has always been to read minds when we need answers or erase minds when we need people to not remember us. I've never had any qualms with doing either.

garrrr

[ It seems almost predictable that at some point this place would drag some of Gar's worst moments into the light. Maybe he wouldn't have expected to feel the need to out one of his darkest parts but he turns on the network feed and talks. He can't make it stop and he's going to regret the lack of control... then again lack of control is the problem isn't it? Ironic, really. ]

Back home, I hurt a bunch of people really bad. I was brainwashed in a way that forced me to shift and then it's like the tiger lost my reason and was just a killing machine. I hurt so many people and then someone I cared about died in the process of trying to save me from the place that was controlling me. People tell me it's not my fault what I did but I can't forget and it's my fault. It was still me they used not anyone else.

11calls

[For those who don't know, Alex has been mostly not around since Christmas, and if you have seen her, there's a good chance that she's not been actually there. Learning how to not spontaneously bilocate is a bitch and your boyfriend threatening to delete your harddrive only works so many times.]

Hey guys, I'm sorry I've not been around for a while. I've going to be sending out your Christmas presents as soon as possible. I've just been dealing with some really weird... [Alex pauses and she considers for a moment before deciding on the right word for what all of this actually should be called. In the end she just settles on:] Stuff.

But I have a question: has anyone randomly received new abilities here? Like abilities that they definitely do not have at home but they kinda woke up in their office with one day?

Also, I guess a better question: what do you wish someone had told you when you suddenly developed your abilities? Because this? Kinda sucks a bit.

[Or kinda a lot.]

lepidopterans

For any who knew him, Fantomex is no longer here. I don't believe he knew many people, so I'm not quite certain to whom a message like this would pertain to. It simply seemed polite.

[ And that's literally all she says. Is she sad? Yes. Will she admit it? It'd be a struggle to. ]

Statement of Jonathan Sims, The Archivist, regarding … wherever this is that I’ve ended up. Statement given direct, date unknown. Statement begins.

[it’s maybe a little abrupt, but hey, that’s how jon rolls. also? he thinks he’s making a private recording. oops. this little archivist really isn’t the best at using technology.

his voice is crisp and clear, with a sharp accent and a tone that suggests a bone-deep tiredness. he takes a deep breath and slowly exhales.]

I’ve been told that something called The Sphere is responsible for my … relocation. So far, it doesn’t seem to be related to any of the other Powers I’ve crossed paths with, but I suppose I can’t discount the idea entirely. At this point, I’m not even sure of what’s real. Perhaps despite our efforts, we failed to disrupt the Unknowing, and this is the … rather nonsensical outcome. Maybe this “Sphere” is somehow allied with The Vast, given the underwater location? Or maybe it’s simply just another kidnapping. [he exhales a dry chuckle that - once again - manages to convey a sense that he is very, very tired.] I’m no stranger to being kidnapped, of course, but this is a bit extreme. But it’s also one of the more … agreeable kidnappings I’ve experienced. No one seems to be outright threatening to kill me, at least.

[jon pauses, pondering whether he has any further thoughts to add. by the end of that short silence, he’s decided that he doesn’t.]

Statement ends, I suppose.

[Inësa is standing in the store with rows of dresses and fabric around her. Many of the dresses are black and while she's staring at them, she appears confused.]

Hello all. I am at my store and some sort of... magic has taken hold. Everything I put on turns black.

[She pauses briefly.]

Perhaps I am cursed?

I have heard many strange things happening lately.

[Another short pause.]

No Lancelot, don't eat that...

[She moves and picks up a white bunny with a black smudge on its face. It's cheeks wiggle while a little tuft of black fabric is wrestled from its mouth.] Oh no. [She sounds incredibly distressed despite the cute little bunny held in her arms.]

It's her first Christmas away from home. No, it's their first Christmas away from their dad, to be specific. ( Read more... )

threshes

So is there any particular reason why this place is damn-well filled with shades now?

[Yes, she's back. Or at the very least annoyed enough that she's decided she cares again.]

Text | UN: MsCarol

I know that some of you are going to want to apologize, or offer sympathy. Please don't. It was one of the best things that could've happened to me. It was the first of many steps that lead me to who I am now.

Shouldn't there have been, like, maybe a waiver of some kind to link my brain to the internet? Like, I get that lots of people like to make jokes about my generation being addicted to our phones but this is-this is crazy. This is completely crazy. Who wants this? This is two steps too close to becoming a cyborg, no offense to cyborgs, but I didn't volunteer to have my mind hijacked? Like. Thanks for the assist, but the assist isn't wanted? This is definitely not wanted. So very not wanted. I'm only using this right now because what other choice do I have? There are zero other choices. All technology can be hacked.

Can someone come take it out? Nobody needs to be inside my head. I don't like being in my head! Nobody else should have access to it. What if I, like, fall asleep on this side of my body, and I start talking in my sleep??? This is a serious invasion of privacy that I didn't even get a Terms of Service for that I could pretend to read just to hit accept and I would not accept this. This is...

[ok. he's not panicking. he's not panicking. this is not the panic you think it is. deep breaths, parker, you can do it. in for two out for two.]

moondancing

[He has had time to collect himself; to not give into fear immediately - though that had been a challenge! His appearance is likely startling - unless his shay'kreth'ashke is well known. From his white hair to his icy blue eyes, Moondance will be easily recognized both on the network and off.]

Bright the day, my friends. I do not know what to say of our accommodations, though I count it promising that we are alive. My name is Moondance k'Treva and I am what is known as a Healing-Adept. What that means is: I am able to heal people as well as places.

[The second portion of his power has been taken from him - though he does not realize it yet. His merry, inviting tone is punctuated with a shyer smile.]

Now, tell me where it hurts, hm? I will feel better if I am busy, so think of this as you doing me a favor!
