We Have All the Time in the World

Roland sat, cross-legged, in a corner of a cell, down in the bowels of the point.

He was still clearly a little shaken from the mental assault, but was handling it surprisingly well.

"Oh, such illustrious company they give me down here," Isolde laughs as she hears Roland stirring.

by **Roland Sackville** » Fri Jan 06, 2017 7:50 pm

"A pleasure to make your acquaintance too, my lady," Roland said, blinking.

"Lovely place you have here, though I have to complain about the valet service."

by **Isolde Schwarz** » Fri Jan 06, 2017 7:54 pm

"I'd wondered about you, you know. Only so many times you can see a face before starting to."

by **Roland Sackville** » Fri Jan 06, 2017 7:58 pm

"I suppose it would be insulting your intelligence if I claimed to have no idea what you were talking about, wouldn't it?"

by **Isolde Schwarz** » Fri Jan 06, 2017 8:06 pm

"Oh I know the usual ways of it. Move around a lot, or claim to be someone's child..."

by **Roland Sackville** » Fri Jan 06, 2017 8:17 pm

"Break your own jaw so you don't look quite the same when it heals. There are a few tricks.

So, which one are you? One of the denizens of the Glittering Plain? An ally of Marcus Rufus? A servant of Hsi Wang Mu?"

"I'm just a girl from Germany who got out before things got too hot."

by **Roland Sackville** » Fri Jan 06, 2017 8:22 pm

"You're going to have to disambiguate that one for me."

by **Isolde Schwarz** » Fri Jan 06, 2017 8:24 pm

"Würzburg," she chuckles.

by **Roland Sackville** » Fri Jan 06, 2017 8:31 pm

"Just a babe, then. Well, I don't think we've ever gotten around to passing out membership cards, but if we do, I'll let you know."

by **Isolde Schwarz** » Fri Jan 06, 2017 8:44 pm

"Just inevitable on a long enough timeline. The unlikely becomes routine."

by **Roland Sackville** » Fri Jan 06, 2017 8:49 pm

"Then you need to get out more. Humanity is amazing in it's ability to keep surprising you, if you seek out a varied enough life. It's a privilege to watch it all unfold."

by **Isolde Schwarz** » Fri Jan 06, 2017 8:58 pm

"Then you're in the right place. The next big change is going to happen here."

by **Roland Sackville** » Fri Jan 06, 2017 8:58 pm

"Not if I can help it," Roland said, steely.

by **Isolde Schwarz** » Fri Jan 06, 2017 9:02 pm

"You're not in a position to keep the lights from going out."

by **Roland Sackville** » Fri Jan 06, 2017 9:05 pm

"I have kept the lights on since before your grandmother was in diapers, and I shall continue to do so long after you and everyone you know has been forgotten."

by **Isolde Schwarz** » Fri Jan 06, 2017 9:12 pm

"If you were serious about it, you would have made it here before I did," she says sweetly.

by **Roland Sackville** » Fri Jan 06, 2017 9:15 pm

"I was in town for about a month, and I destroyed the cook-pot at that point in time.

Unlike some, I keep a low profile until the deeds are done."

by **Isolde Schwarz** » Fri Jan 06, 2017 9:21 pm

"You mean you..."

She bursts into laughter.

"You've been before and you still haven't figured it out."

by **Roland Sackville** » Fri Jan 06, 2017 9:25 pm

"About the lighthouse, you mean? I could care less about it, in all honesty; it may make things wild in the short-run, but I think long-term."

by **Isolde Schwarz** » Mon Jan 09, 2017 7:50 pm

"There are things older than the mound-dwellers," she says simply and flatly.

by **Roland Sackville** » Mon Jan 09, 2017 7:51 pm

"You're looking at one."

by **Isolde Schwarz** » Mon Jan 09, 2017 8:02 pm

"Mmm, I am trying to decide if this competitive streak of yours is endearing or not."

by **Roland Sackville** » Mon Jan 09, 2017 8:11 pm

"I'm simply attempting to disabuse you of your notions that you are, in any way, shape or form, special. That's all."

by **Laura Kinney** » Mon Jan 09, 2017 8:34 pm

"Aren't you two just rays of sunshine. Maybe I should leave you to your bickering." X-23 says as she walks through the door and down the aisle of holding cells.

by **Roland Sackville** » Mon Jan 09, 2017 8:58 pm

"That would seem to be your prerogative," Roland said, nonchalantly.

by **Isolde Schwarz** » Mon Jan 09, 2017 9:17 pm

"You didn't tell me you were giving me a celebrity neighbor," she chuckles.

by **Laura Kinney** » Mon Jan 09, 2017 9:39 pm

"I figured I'd drive Minamida nuts by subjecting her to your brand of non-sense in stereo." she says, leaning against the wall next to Isolde's cell and looking at Roland. "So is this about the same kinda prophecy are are you preventing a competing doomsday?"

by **Roland Sackville** » Mon Jan 09, 2017 10:08 pm

"Past tense, my dear. Grammatical instruction has gone downhill in the past 300 years."

by **Isolde Schwarz** » Tue Jan 10, 2017 7:20 pm

"Ah, earned the hero's rest, have we?"

by **Laura Kinney** » Tue Jan 10, 2017 8:07 pm

X-23 groans. "Yeah, that's why he's down here with you. Earned himself front row seats to whatever catastrophe you are all about. Your Lighthouse prophecy got anything to do with his Morrigan obsession, yes or no?"

by **Isolde Schwarz** » Wed Jan 11, 2017 7:17 pm

"I find his fixation quaint, if only for the reason that he's already failed," she chuckles.

by **Roland Sackville** » Wed Jan 11, 2017 7:44 pm

Roland rolled his eyes at that.

"If I may turn the questioning around, how long do you intend to hold me here?"

by **Laura Kinney** » Wed Jan 11, 2017 7:50 pm

"Till we track down Will Stanton or what remains of him. Then we'll probably put together a case that'll take you to Muir's prison wing. And maybe you'll have her as a neighbor for a while, still working on what precisely to charge her with, cause I can't convince Minamida to put down 'Lycantrophy' on an official document."

by **Roland Sackville** » Wed Jan 11, 2017 7:51 pm

"And what do you hope to accomplish by doing so?"

by **Laura Kinney** » Wed Jan 11, 2017 7:58 pm

"Mostly to keep super-powered criminals such as you from committing any more crimes."

by **Roland Sackville** » Wed Jan 11, 2017 8:24 pm

"And what crime am I being charged with?"

by **Laura Kinney** » Wed Jan 11, 2017 9:12 pm

"Kidnapping at the very least, likely murder on one or two counts."

by **Roland Sackville** » Wed Jan 11, 2017 9:13 pm

"You may want to check your facts and jurisdiction on each of those counts, if that's your only reason for holding me."
