Signs and symptoms of procrastination.

[ilana]

I have no need to be here. I've moved on and this will only cause him pain. Of course I'd love to see him again, meet his new friends, but there will be time for that. For now, let me leave them in peace. Let me leave him in peace.

[emeraldpapa]

...Mundanes can be very cruel.

bb don't hurt me

[ilana]

Yes. But I suppose all I can do is endure.

what is love

[emeraldpapa]

I'm really sorry. Some things... some things are best left to rest.

[ilana]

There's no need to apologize. I only hope my presence won't cause difficulty.

[emeraldpapa]

Nobody's presence is a 'difficulty'. It will just take some adjusting, but we'll be here to make it easier.

For everyone.

[ilana]

Thank you, very much.

ILANA! <3.

[razer]

[Razer is just staring at you. For once in his life, he's at a loss for words.]

RAZER!

[ilana]

[Sofly:]

Razer...

[Rather happy to see him in spite of her objection to all of this.]

omg, you beat me to it! XD

[looksfine]

[Aya stares for a long time at the woman whose face she had assumed. But it wasn't just her face; even their voices were near identical. This was new. New and...something. Her systems had yet to process exactly what.]

[Her expression betrays nothing other than perhaps a hint of surprise, though her eyes are a flicker with what one might mistake for a whirl of emotions.]

...you are Ilana of the Forgotten Zone, correct?

did we hivemind again? XD

[ilana]

[It was almost like looking into a mirror. It's not there unless you knew to look for the resemblance or, in Ilana's case, are used to seeing yourself in a mirror.

It's... uncanny.]

Yes.

Haha. I haven't made one yet, but I've been considering it!

[looksfine]

[In Aya's case, it's there because she knows it's there. And along with the uncanniness comes a familiar accusation echoing through her memory archives: "You stole the image of Ilana."]

You do not know me, but I know of you.

I have seen you in Razer's memories.

This is what I get for iconing again oops.

[ilana]

You have? How?

Oh you~

[looksfine]

Transference via the telepathic device being used on him at the time.

I can assure you, the intrusion was necessary.

[Despite all she had learned and come to understand since, this much was still true.]

>_>

[ilana]

[She's not doubting Aya at all, but she's missing a few key bits of information.]

Why was it necessary? What happened? [Does she sound worried? Yes. Yes she does.]

<_<

[looksfine]

[Increased biometric rate detected. Concern. Uncertainty.]

Green Lanterns Hal Jordan and Sergeant Kilowag were in danger. I required his help to save them.

[A pause, as she deliberates over how exactly to phrase this. Aya knows it will cause Ilana pain, even though it is not her intention.]

He was being tortured. This was unacceptable, even for a prison.

/o/

[ilana]

[She feels a twist in her gut.]

T-torture? Prison?

\o\

[looksfine]

Yes.

It is with regret that I must inform you...much has happened since your passing.

[girlfriend_beyond]

[Double-take. She looks sort of like Aya, but not an android and apparently the same species as Razer...]

[ilana]

Yes?

[girlfriend_beyond]

Sorry for staring. You look like someone I know. Two people I know, actually.

[ilana]

[Oh geez how many face doubles does she have?]

I've spoken to one, but... I resemble more people?

[girlfriend_beyond]

Sort of. I think I've met someone of your species. Do- does the name Razer mean anything to you?

[ilana]

Yes. He's my husband.

[girlfriend_beyond]

[Uh. Not expecting that. Oh god she was teasing Aya about romancing a married man that's so wrong]

Oh. I- didn't know he was married.

[ilana]

He probably doesn't talk about me much. My passing-- it was painful for him.
