Going for Walkies

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Tue Mar 07, 2017 4:23 pm

Tereza approaches Isolde's cell, glancing at Roland once, before fixing her attention on Isolde. "So, Isolde, if you promise to be good," Tereza says, twirling some metal wrist restraints, "we can go for a walk and you can run free-ish for a bit. What do you say?"

Off to the side, X-23 is glowering at Isolde. It's hard to tell if it's an act to try and disparage her from pulling anything or if Laura just straight up disapproves of the whole thing.

by **Isolde Schwarz** » Tue Mar 07, 2017 7:31 pm

"Oh, you're the good cop this time?" She asks Tereza before giving Laura a winning, toothy smile.

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Tue Mar 07, 2017 7:36 pm

"Of course not. That's a silly idea," she says, displaying a slightly toothy grin of her own. She opens the restraint panel and then the restraints themselves, motioning for Isolde to stick her arms out. "So, what do you say?"

by **Isolde Schwarz** » Tue Mar 07, 2017 8:03 pm

"Mmm, this is as much for you as it is for me, isn't it?" She stands, holding her arms out.

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Tue Mar 07, 2017 8:19 pm

"Some of us like to do good deeds on occasion," she acknowledges, motioning for Isolde to step back and open the door.

by **Isolde Schwarz** » Tue Mar 07, 2017 8:33 pm

"That's in the eye of the beholder," she says, stepping back as instructed.

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Tue Mar 07, 2017 8:37 pm

The door opens, "Well, if you're right and I am doing this for me, then that's up to me to decide, isn't it?"

by **Isolde Schwarz** » Tue Mar 07, 2017 8:42 pm

"Oh, by all means. You're allowed to be... selfish, sometimes."

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Tue Mar 07, 2017 8:46 pm

Tereza puts her hand on Isolde's shoulder and starts guiding her out of the room and towards the hallways, glancing at Laura as she goes. "Well, we can't all be the soul of long-suffering sacrifice like you."

by **Isolde Schwarz** » Tue Mar 07, 2017 9:00 pm

"You know what I think? I think you had a bit too much fun, so it's time to put on the hair-shirt," she chuckles as she's led.

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Tue Mar 07, 2017 10:52 pm

"Maybe I just have some delusional ideas about your redemption," she says, moving them through a big sliding door and into a huge bare metal room.

by **Isolde Schwarz** » Wed Mar 08, 2017 12:18 am

"You didn't bring me here for a tearful confession and a group hug. Or she didn't, at least." She headcants towards Laura.

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Wed Mar 08, 2017 4:31 pm

"She's just here to make sure you don't take advantage of my better nature." The door closes and locks, apparently prearranged. Then the room changes to the edge of a forest, complete with all the expected forest sounds and no hint of civilization nearby.

by **Isolde Schwarz** » Wed Mar 08, 2017 10:48 pm

"So are you going to let me loose, or just dangle this in front of me?"

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Wed Mar 08, 2017 11:13 pm

"I may be a bit vicious, but I'm not cruel," Tereza says as she comes over, fiddling with something on the restraints and they let loose.

by **Isolde Schwarz** » Thu Mar 09, 2017 1:43 am

"Cruelty is a human thing. They invented it. Perfected it."

She rubs her wrists, flexing her long-nailed fingers.

"Ah, the illusion of freedom."

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Thu Mar 09, 2017 1:49 am

"I'm afraid illusions are the best I can do at the moment." Then she circles back a bit, "So you're saying you're *not* human in any way?"

by **Isolde Schwarz** » Thu Mar 09, 2017 1:56 am

"I am not as I was born. Are you?"

"Over time, the wise try to rid themselves of... useless things."

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Thu Mar 09, 2017 2:22 am

"No one is the same as they were born. There are always changes of one sort or another. I take it this is where you tell me that you shed any pretense of humanity long ago and that I should shed any pretense of being just a mutant?"

by **Isolde Schwarz** » Thu Mar 09, 2017 2:28 am

"This is the part where you seem to be rather fond of putting words in my mouth," she says with a toothy grin.

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Thu Mar 09, 2017 2:37 am

"Then put your own words in your own mouth..." 'mother' "... because all I'm left with is conjecture when you go for the wise old woman on the mountain act."

by **Isolde Schwarz** » Thu Mar 09, 2017 5:10 pm

"If I had truly shed everything that was human about me I wouldn't even bother with pants, yes?"

"I would've found some place in the woods or mountains and lived out my days on four feet."

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Thu Mar 09, 2017 5:19 pm

"Four feet, interesting," she says as if Isolde has just confirmed something.

by **Isolde Schwarz** » Thu Mar 09, 2017 5:25 pm

"That's not truly a surprise, is it?"

"As a woman, you reach to grasp with your hands. Your needs, your wants, flow through them."

"A wolf's needs and wants flow through the jaws."

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Thu Mar 09, 2017 5:30 pm

"Not really a surprise, no. But not something I've explored, either," she says, "Though it seemed interested in making me explore it anyway, or at least attempting to."

by **Isolde Schwarz** » Thu Mar 09, 2017 5:51 pm

"Then you need to think about what you want to grasp. It's not impossible to satisfy the woman and the wolf both, but it's much harder if you're stumbling blind."

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Thu Mar 09, 2017 6:02 pm

"And I assume you'd want to teach me. Given the situation, you can probably understand why I'd find that a bit suspect, right?"

by **Isolde Schwarz** » Thu Mar 09, 2017 6:21 pm

"You can do what you like. I've no reason to deny you anything."

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Thu Mar 09, 2017 6:50 pm

"But like most 'parents', you'd like a child in your image. Or is that words in your mouth again?"

by **Isolde Schwarz** » Thu Mar 09, 2017 7:23 pm

"Like most parents, I'd like to see you happy. I'd like to remove obstacles for you."

"But perhaps it's best if you weren't like me. If you were, I could see you trying to push water uphill for quite some time."

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Thu Mar 09, 2017 7:38 pm

"So let's talk obstacles," Tereza says, though it's clear she's not buying the olive branch yet.

by **Isolde Schwarz** » Thu Mar 09, 2017 8:06 pm

"I think some of it is easier for you now than it was for me. You haven't been taught your urges are sinful."

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Thu Mar 09, 2017 8:09 pm

"Well, yes, though I was told plenty. But those people undermined their position on that topic by also being full of shit with regards to mutants."

by **Isolde Schwarz** » Thu Mar 09, 2017 8:23 pm

"And you can have a pretty little girlfriend, and nobody even bats an eye. How's that?"

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Thu Mar 09, 2017 8:27 pm

"Well, for starters, she doesn't deserve the implied diminutive, but to actually answer your question, it's wonderful."

by **Isolde Schwarz** » Thu Mar 09, 2017 8:41 pm

"Mmm, then how is she? Great and terrible?"

A toothy grin spreads across her lips.

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Thu Mar 09, 2017 8:45 pm

"Wonderful... and mine," Tereza says with a toothy grin of her own. "I still don't always get what she sees in me, but I'm happy she sees it."

by **Isolde Schwarz** » Thu Mar 09, 2017 11:34 pm

"I have opinions on that. I know you don't like them."

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Fri Mar 10, 2017 5:23 am

"Know I don't or know I won't?"
