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.

...Mundanes can be very cruel.

ILANA! <3.

[razer]

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

bb don't hurt me

[ilana]

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

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?

RAZER!

[ilana]

[Sofly:]

Razer...

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

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.

*\o/*

[ilana]

[Hesitation. This doesn't sound good.]

Could you-- could you tell me? All I've been told is that Razer somehow became a Red Lantern and he's traveling with Green Lanterns. That's all I know.

[looksfine]

I do not believe it is my place to inform you of the details. I have been told that much of it is...private.

Perhaps you should speak with Razer. I know he will want to see you again.

[Her eyes lower as she says this. Confusion. Cautiousness.]

[ilana]

I see.

[Although Aya's body language is subtle, Ilana isn't exactly dense.]

Is something the matter?

[looksfine]

[Pause. Processing data....]

You are aware of the physical similarities in our appearances, are you not?

[ilana]

Yes. I thought I was imagining them.

[looksfine]

I fear I may have inadvertently caused Razer pain in the selection of my physical form.

He once accused me of "stealing" your face.

[ilana]

Stealing? I don't understand.

[looksfine]

When parameters were set for becoming a Green Lantern, I constructed a body using the last imprint in my database.

It was you, Ilana of the Forbidden Zone.

[ilana]

You didn't have a body?

And... I was the only reference in your database. So you used my appearance as... something like a blueprint.

[Just making sure she understands. This is all more than a little confusing.]

[looksfine]

Correct.

[ilana]

I-I see.

I'm sorry, this is a lot to take in.

[looksfine]

Understandable.

My experiential knowledge spans over the course of 9.21 months. It would be impossible to expect one to fully comprehend that quantity of data in such a short amount of time.
