DT1: Post-Breakdown Breakfast

((open thread))

A glum looking Sofia picked at her food. She felt awful. She had nearly...well, she didn't want to think about it too much but she would've probably hurt someone. She almost did hurt Alex and Haley and they hadn't done anything but try to help her.

She felt like a terrible person.

"Someone's looking gloomy." Miriam says as she sits down across from Sofia.

"Bad couple of days," Sofia says with a heavy sigh.

by **Miriam Bell** » Fri Jul 17, 2015 2:53 am

"Want to talk about it?"

by **Sofia Santiago** » Fri Jul 17, 2015 2:55 am

"Not really? I don't know," Sofia says. She groans. "...Maybe."

"I kind of went berserk the other day. Tried to attack a bunch of those protesters," Sofia says.

by **Miriam Bell** » Fri Jul 17, 2015 2:59 am

"Hrm. I hope you at least had a good reason for it beyond them being massive wankers."

"I got a phone call," Sofia says. "They found my girlfriend's body in the basement of one of those anti-mutant churches."

"I found out and...I just sort of lost it."

by **Miriam Bell** » Fri Jul 17, 2015 3:19 am

"Oh my god, that is awful! I'm so sorry..."

by **Sofia Santiago** » Fri Jul 17, 2015 3:25 am

"Yeah," Sofia says. "I mean, she's been dead awhile. I knew that...but I guess now it sort of feels like my fault, yeah?"

by **Miriam Bell** » Fri Jul 17, 2015 3:42 am

"You knew? Wait, of course. Your powers. And you don't know if she was killed because of you." she says, realizing herself how lame that sounds.

by **Sofia Santiago** » Fri Jul 17, 2015 3:50 am

"Thanks, but unless she was dating another mutant I don't know about, it was probably because of me," Sofia says.

by **Miriam Bell** » Fri Jul 17, 2015 3:53 am

"Fair enough. Just not very polite if I say it. Did they arrest the blighters responsible at least?"

by **Sofia Santiago** » Fri Jul 17, 2015 5:11 am

"They were long gone," Sofia says. "The church was abandoned."

by **Miriam Bell** » Fri Jul 17, 2015 5:17 am

"No wonder you were upset. I would be too."

by **Sofia Santiago** » Fri Jul 17, 2015 5:20 am

"It didn't help that everyone kept telling me that I had to be the better fuckin' person," Sofia says. "Take the high road. Like all that matters is how I make them look."

She might be a little bitter.

by **Miriam Bell** » Fri Jul 17, 2015 5:31 am

"Fuck 'em. It shouldn't be on us to prove that every single one of us is some kind of infallible paragon. They're clearly not the kind to turn the other cheek so why should we."

by **Sofia Santiago** » Fri Jul 17, 2015 5:35 am

"That's what I said, yeah?" Sofia says. "I mean, yeah, I was obviously not thinking straight and stuff but..."

She shakes her head, "I can't just let this go."

by **Miriam Bell** » Fri Jul 17, 2015 5:45 am

"No one said it would have been smart, no. And let me guess, no one is bothering to investigate a bloody thing?"

by **Sofia Santiago** » Fri Jul 17, 2015 5:46 am

"The investigation is 'ongoing'," Sofia says, an edge of sarcasm to her voice.

by **Miriam Bell** » Fri Jul 17, 2015 5:52 am

"Naturally. Is this in the US?"

by **Sofia Santiago** » Fri Jul 17, 2015 6:00 am

"Yeah," Sofia says. "California. Why?"

by **Miriam Bell** » Fri Jul 17, 2015 6:02 am

"Less we can do about it then."

by **Sofia Santiago** » Fri Jul 17, 2015 6:05 am

"I know. It's pretty much hopeless," Sofia says. "I don't know. Maybe I should just get over it. That's what Regan says I should do."

"Though she's still sulking about it," Sofia says. "That girl sometimes...."

by **Miriam Bell** » Fri Jul 17, 2015 6:10 am

"Trying not to dwell on something doesn't mean you have to try and 'get over it'. Your girlfriend deserves justice."

by **Sofia Santiago** » Fri Jul 17, 2015 6:17 am

Sofia nods, "You're right. Why should I let them just get away with it?"

"Scum like that deserves to learn a lesson, yeah?"

by **Miriam Bell** » Fri Jul 17, 2015 6:30 am

"I don't know if they'd learn anything except what they've already convinced themselves of, but they deserve to get what's coming to them."

by **Sofia Santiago** » Fri Jul 17, 2015 6:32 am

"And what do you think that should be?" Sofia asks.

by **Miriam Bell** » Fri Jul 17, 2015 6:40 am

"That really depends on them. I'm pretty good at figuring out what's gonna sting the most." she says, tapping her temple.

by **Sofia Santiago** » Fri Jul 17, 2015 6:56 am

"That'd be useful information to know," Sofia says with a grin.

by **Miriam Bell** » Fri Jul 17, 2015 7:01 am

"Don't quite have the range all the way to California though."

by **Sofia Santiago** » Fri Jul 17, 2015 7:11 am

Sofia sighs, "Well, it's the thought that counts, I suppose."

by **Miriam Bell** » Fri Jul 17, 2015 2:50 pm

"Hey, just because it's not an option right this second doesn't mean you have to give up."

by **Sofia Santiago** » Fri Jul 17, 2015 9:50 pm

"I don't want to give up," Sofia says. "But, it's like, I don't know what to do, yeah?"

"I'm so angry I can barely keep it in, but I have nowhere safe to just...let loose."

by **Miriam Bell** » Fri Jul 17, 2015 10:15 pm

"Have you tried the Danger Room? Just blasting apart some dummies might be cathartic."

by **Sofia Santiago** » Fri Jul 17, 2015 10:29 pm

"Only a few times," Sofia says. "I suppose it couldn't hurt, yeah?"

by **Miriam Bell** » Fri Jul 17, 2015 10:34 pm

"Better than throwing down with some asshole protesters, yeah?"

by **Sofia Santiago** » Sat Jul 18, 2015 2:43 am

"I don't know about better," Sofia says. "Less likely to get me in jail, probably."

by **Miriam Bell** » Sat Jul 18, 2015 2:49 am

"I'd argue that's definitely better. You control dead things, yeah? Please tell me you're more creative than just poltergeisting someone's ass."

by **Sofia Santiago** » Sat Jul 18, 2015 2:56 am

"I'm not some one-trick pony, if that's what you mean," Sofia says. "I am a ghost master, yeah?"

by **Miriam Bell** » Sat Jul 18, 2015 3:00 am

"I'm just saying, who are they going to call if their house is being haunted." she smirks.
