I2DT - Wine For Two

"The only crazy thing is how much I let Trinity pull the wool over my eyes."

"Look, I'm not... I'm not judging who you fall for. I just wish you'd trusted me more, aye?"

"I just... They were doing good things. Helping people. Mutants. When all of that happened I thought they were just helping Tereza's sister to get in touch with her. I mean... you know what it's like to be an older sister, right?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Feb 04, 2016 10:13 pm

"...aye. Tereza's probably told me more about what she was running from than you, I'll admit."

by **Miriam Bell** » Thu Feb 04, 2016 10:25 pm

"I still don't really know. And I'm not sure I want to. I just thought... I don't know. That she'd run away and her big sister wanted to see her again." she says, draining her glass of wine after making it through that sentence. It doesn't take a genius to see that she must have been projecting pretty hard at the time and this is probably as close to admitting to that she's going to get.

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Feb 04, 2016 11:44 pm

"...well I can see why you'd want that for someone."

by **Miriam Bell** » Thu Feb 04, 2016 11:54 pm

"Right, well... yeah. So then your little squad team kicked down the doors in the middle of the bloody night and... it just felt shitty."

It felt like you were taking things away from me. First Will and then Trinity.

"I'm not... I don't want to take anything from you, Miriam." If she realizes she's responding to something not said aloud, she doesn't indicate.

Miriam gives Sam a faintly annoyed glance that lasts for a split-second, but doesn't seem to dwell on it.

"I know you well enough to know that you don't want to. But I lashed out at you and that's why. Doesn't really matter if it was on purpose or whether or not it's true."

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Feb 05, 2016 6:23 am

"Well that's why I don't... I don't want to have misunderstandings like this with you."

by **Miriam Bell** » Fri Feb 05, 2016 6:53 am

"Because I react with psychic violence." she says, sounding like she's trying to play it off as a joke with a intentionally pained smile. "You know what, I'll take it. As pathetic as that is."

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Feb 05, 2016 7:06 pm

"...well we're neither of us pleasant when we think something bad's happening, aye?"

by **Miriam Bell** » Fri Feb 05, 2016 8:27 pm

"Nobody is, we just have more ways to express it. That's why they're so afraid of us. As they bloody well should be."

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Feb 05, 2016 11:01 pm

"Seems to be what we keep coming back to. Love us or fear us."

by **Miriam Bell** » Fri Feb 05, 2016 11:18 pm

"But they're not scared enough to show some respect."

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Feb 05, 2016 11:42 pm

"For someone who doesn't have any interest in getting in tights, you seem to have plans," she smirks.

by **Miriam Bell** » Sat Feb 06, 2016 12:20 am

"Yeah sure, I'm going to put on a ridiculous outfit and demand people prostrate themselves before me."

by **Samantha McManus** » Sat Feb 06, 2016 12:26 am

"So you're saying skip the ridiculous outfit."

by **Miriam Bell** » Sat Feb 06, 2016 12:51 am

"What's the point when you're going to rewrite peoples' opinion of you anyway, right?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Sat Feb 06, 2016 12:56 am

"It's just a bit anticlimactic when Madame Phantasma, All Shall Love Her And Despair, is standing there in a cardigan and khakis."

by **Miriam Bell** » Sat Feb 06, 2016 1:58 am

"What? No, you just wear what you want, not some insane spandex thing. Probably something more elegant and dignified."

by **Samantha McManus** » Sat Feb 06, 2016 2:09 am

"...well alright, then. What is the Ultimate Miriam like?"

by **Miriam Bell** » Sat Feb 06, 2016 3:18 am

"Really? We're doing this?" she rolls her eyes a little. "Fine. It'd probably be some black designer dress, simple but elegant, maybe I'd come up with a symbol to work into the earrings or something subtle like that. Maybe a hat with a veil for when I'm feeling mysterious. Evening gloves, probably."

by **Samantha McManus** » Sat Feb 06, 2016 4:37 am

"Oh aye, so terrible a thing to muse on. I shan't disappoint you again, Mistress."

"Even though the ultimate Miriam seems to be Miriam at the opera."

by **Miriam Bell** » Sat Feb 06, 2016 4:45 am

"Very funny." she deadpans, determined to not let too much of her amusement show through. "And what's wrong with having some class? Or do you have any better suggestions, Miss Super-Hero?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Sat Feb 06, 2016 4:50 am

"Well why even bother with veils when you've got the whole theater mask thing going on with your avatar?"

by **Miriam Bell** » Sat Feb 06, 2016 4:53 am

"Do you have any idea how gaudy that would look?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Sat Feb 06, 2016 4:54 am

"Even just one? You could get a cast done of your face so it'd fit well."

by **Miriam Bell** » Sat Feb 06, 2016 4:56 am

"What do you mean just one?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Sat Feb 06, 2016 4:59 am

"As in you wouldn't need to work both masks into the outfit, aye?"

by **Miriam Bell** » Sat Feb 06, 2016 5:00 am

"What the bloody hell are you talking about? Both masks?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Sat Feb 06, 2016 5:03 am

Sam blinks in confusion.

"...your avatar does have two masks on it."

by **Miriam Bell** » Sat Feb 06, 2016 5:06 am

"No it doesn't..." she says with just a hint of trepidation.

by **Samantha McManus** » Sat Feb 06, 2016 5:14 am

"I swear I'm not making this up, Miriam. Two lanterns, two masks. One of them is like a girl's face, and the other's got kind of a crown?"

by **Miriam Bell** » Sat Feb 06, 2016 5:28 am

"I'm sure I would have noticed if that was the case..."

by **Samantha McManus** » Sat Feb 06, 2016 5:32 am

"What reason would I even have to be putting you on, here?"

by **Miriam Bell** » Sat Feb 06, 2016 5:33 am

"I don't know... You tell me." she says, trying not to sound nervous, but she has had quite a bit of wine.

by **Samantha McManus** » Sat Feb 06, 2016 5:35 am

"I just kind of thought it was... your thing, aye? It almost looks like there's two people under the cloak sometimes, too."

"It's not like I'm judging you or anything. Head shite is weird, and I'm living proof."

by **Miriam Bell** » Sat Feb 06, 2016 5:40 am

"I... I should go. That's not... There's not supposed to be..." she stammers out as she pushes herself up, knocking over her almost empty glass in the process.

by **Samantha McManus** » Sat Feb 06, 2016 5:45 am

"Are you... okay?"

"I can go with you, if you're not feeling well."
