Posted: Thu Feb 04, 2016 8:19 pm"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?"
Re: I2DT - Wine For Two
Posted: 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."
Re: I2DT - Wine For Two
Posted: 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.

Posted: 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.

Posted: Fri Feb 05, 2016 12:26 amMiriam 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."

Posted: 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."
Re: I2DT - Wine For Two
Posted: Fri Feb 05, 2016 7:06 pm"...well we're neither of us pleasant when we think something bad's happening, aye?"

Posted: 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."

Re: I2DT - Wine For Two
Posted: Sat Feb 06, 2016 2:09 am"...well alright, then. What is the Ultimate Miriam like?"
Re: I2DT - Wine For Two
Posted: 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."

Posted: 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?"
Re: I2DT - Wine For Two
Posted: 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?"
Re: I2DT - Wine For Two
Posted: Sat Feb 06, 2016 4:53 am"Do you have any idea how gaudy that would look?"
Re: I2DT - Wine For Two
Posted: Sat Feb 06, 2016 4:54 am"Even just one? You could get a cast done of your face so it'd fit well."
Re: I2DT - Wine For Two
Posted: Sat Feb 06, 2016 4:56 am"What do you mean just one?"
Re: I2DT - Wine For Two
Posted: Sat Feb 06, 2016 4:59 am"As in you wouldn't need to work both masks into the outfit, aye?"
Re: I2DT - Wine For Two
Posted: Sat Feb 06, 2016 5:00 am"What the bloody hell are you talking about? Both masks?"
Re: I2DT - Wine For Two
Posted: Sat Feb 06, 2016 5:03 amSam blinks in confusion.
"...your avatar does have two masks on it."

Re: I2DT - Wine For Two
Posted: 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?"

Re: I2DT - Wine For Two
Posted: 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.
Re: I2DT - Wine For Two
Posted: 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."
