I am not a puppet you can play with whenever you choose, mun. I have important things to do that you cannot take me from. [Illyana pauses and for just a moment she looks slightly vulnerable.] I have to make them trust me again. I need time for that.

[The look of vulnerability fades quickly enough and her expression turns back into a scowl.]

Time that I refuse to waste in some game of your choosing. You saw what has become of others who have used me for their own means. I caution you to not make the same mistake. Leave me in my cell.

My, someone's touchy.

[soulsword]

I have reason to be.

[shadowsteps]

Do you? By all means, then, continue.

[soulsword]

I have said all I had to say.

[shadowsteps]

And did it work?

[soulsword]

Not yet.

[shadowsteps]

Well, then you haven't said everything you need to, then, have you?

[soulsword]

I have said everything I want to for now.

[shadowsteps]

Yes, and we can see how effective that was.

[soulsword]

There is still time.

[shadowsteps]

For what, exactly?

[soulsword]

To convince her this is a poor idea.

[shadowsteps]

If you've said all you want to say, how do you expect to convince her?

[soulsword]

There are other ways beyond just speaking.

[shadowsteps]

Such as?

[soulsword]

I could do something to her.

[shadowsteps]

Like what?

[underthehoodie]

Give it up, blondie, they never listen. You may as well come out and have some fun if you're going to be forced to it anyway.

[soulsword]

What could be fun about that place?

[underthehoodie]

The pleasure of all our company isn't enough for you? I can't really answer that but I'm sure we could find a way to make some fun there.

'sides I doubt you'll be missing much back home. The last time we didn't and this time we have a different ground to explore.

[soulsword]

I would not know anyone there.

You have a point, but I still have no interest in this. I have more important things to focus on

[underthehoodie]

I guess you're right but... tch, you still don't have a damn choice in the matter.

[soulsword]

I still have a choice.

[underthehoodie]

Noooo you don't.

[soulsword]

How do you know?

[underthehoodie]

Call it women's intuition.

[littlesnowflake]

[She looks more resigned, really, than anything.]

What did we do?

[soulsword]

[There's always a debate about how much to tell someone about the future. Especially when that someone is yourself.] We did what we had to. Rest assured, it was the right choice. Even if they cannot see that.

[littlesnowflake]

[She looks sceptical, as she crosses her arms.]

Was it? Because I don't think we'd always know. [That's why she has Kitty, and her team.]

[soulsword]

We know with this one. We know very well. [This time was different than any other time, after all.]

[souldagger]

[Megan prefers that vulnerable look, tbh. It makes Illyana look a lot less scary.]

You're not really threatening your mun, are you?

[soulsword]

[She smiles slightly, there might just be a tiny bit of a creepy edge to that smile. Sorry, Megan. She may like poking at you occasionally.] What if I am?

[souldagger]

Well, it's not a very nice thing to do, for starters! [Such a creepy smile. So unnerving!!]

[soulsword]

Why should I be nice to her? She wishes only unpleasant things on me. [See? So it's totally justifiable. You just don't understand.]

[souldagger]

Hasn't anyone ever told you, 'do undo others'...? [That might explain a lot, actually.]

[soulsword]

They have told me. I learned it best to not listen. Instead, I learned it best to do unto others before they can do unto you. [It really does explain a lot.]

[souldagger]

That's very dark and depressing of you.

[soulsword]

Is it? [She doesn't really see anything wrong with that.] Limbo will do that to a person, little Pixie. You should know that.
