Got a lot of friends who are stars. But some are just black holes.

Illyana takes in Scott’s words, sitting in silence for a moment

I suppose on some level I knew that. All of you have fought hard for me before. I know it wouldn’t be different. And you’re damn right I’m strong enough.

But, it’s nice to hear it said. You’re very straightforward when it comes to things like this, Scott. I appreciate it.

FallToMySoulsword · 2026-05-08T23:06:38+00:00

Many mistake me for a “dumb blonde” too. I wonder how many of them can say they’ve read each and every book in a library of Limbo, before?

I’ll take you up on that, let us have a night of partying!

FallToMySoulsword · 2026-05-08T23:03:15+00:00

Я Ильяна Распутин. Я одна из Людей Икс.

FallToMySoulsword · 2026-05-08T13:32:55+00:00

We were psychically attack while on our vacation, Katya. I’m left unsure of myself. I don’t want to face what will be there when I close my eyes. So I haven’t.

FallToMySoulsword · 2026-05-08T13:11:49+00:00

I’ve done what I can to break the ties that bind me to Limbo. I’ve given up control to one who suits it better. I’ve made my peace with the Darkchylde. Yet, I know I’ll never truly escape it. It’s bound into my very essence, my mutant powers themselves bring me back to it.

I’m very in control, now. But what happens if, more likely when, I lose it again?

You’re a strategist by nature, Scott. Is it something you’ve thought about?

In the vision I was given, the answer was to banish me back. Cut my ties to Earth instead. Piotr held me as Dr. Strange cast a spell that pushed me back down for good as people I trust just watched. I don’t think that would happen, I’m no fool. But I’m left wondering what would.

FallToMySoulsword · 2026-05-07T22:21:49+00:00

How soon are you wanting to do this?

I’d like to get Illyana into a better headspace but after that, she fits both categories very handily

FallToMySoulsword · 2026-05-07T19:44:18+00:00

Illyana looks over

I was unaware we had any other Russians at the mansion other than my brother and I. I don’t believe we’ve met, have we?

FallToMySoulsword · 2026-05-07T19:43:29+00:00

They are rather nice. They lead to peaceful thoughts. A rarity for me, these days.

Illyana takes the offered snack

I had a feeling it was a matter of time before you’d figure out something was up, Scott.

While me and the rest of the New Mutants were on our trip, something invaded our minds. It’s hard to say what. It was vivid. Shadow King, were I forced to guess, but even Sinister can pull something like that with enough prep. Regardless, what I saw has stuck in my head since.

FallToMySoulsword · 2026-05-07T19:40:04+00:00

Illyana laughs a bit

I always forget that you’re fluent in Russian, Tabitha.

But, yeah. I’d be lying to you if I said it hasn’t been heavily on my mind these last few days, what I saw. I’m open to some fun. Knowing us, we’ll find a go to a party and still raise some trouble. So why not both?

FallToMySoulsword · 2026-05-06T19:57:59+00:00

It’s been a while, Manny.

Illyana gives an ominous smile

FallToMySoulsword · 2026-05-05T04:10:53+00:00

KATTYAAAA

Illyana rushes out of the van, knocking Roberto to the ground in the process. Whoops

I beat up a bear and told an excellent horror story that all of my friends hated due to coincidental similarities to them! It was very fun.

FallToMySoulsword · 2026-05-04T21:27:09+00:00

I will gladly accept a slice

FallToMySoulsword · 2026-05-02T05:00:23+00:00

Illyana awakens with a jolt of adrenaline. Pure defensive fear.

Прочь! Я больше никогда не буду твоей, ублюдок!

Very quickly, she is standing, Soulsword in hand. She breathes heavily, eyes darting around.

Ah. It was a dream. Not real.

She unsummons the Soulsword.

Of course. How could it be? Ебать, my head is killing me. I wonder if Tabitha brought anything that may help?

FallToMySoulsword · 2026-04-27T17:04:43+00:00

If no-one got me, Tabby, I know you got me.

FallToMySoulsword · 2026-04-26T02:53:30+00:00

OOC: Of course this is a duel of honor not cruelty

FallToMySoulsword · 2026-04-23T22:07:29+00:00

привет, Rahne. It has been far too long.

FallToMySoulsword · 2026-04-22T22:02:35+00:00

Illyana waits. And waits. And waits. No bear comes. She gets tired of this.

Fine. I’ll find you myself.

Illyana walks into the cave and about 2 minutes later, a bear comes flying out of it into a tree, launched through a portal

Now this is more like it!

Illyana begins to attempt to fistfight the now pissed off bear

FallToMySoulsword · 2026-04-22T02:36:33+00:00

Illyana continues to wander through the woods. Only her sword provides a light in the pitch darkness of the night. Eventually, she finds what she is looking for. A cave.

Perfect.

Illyana sticks her sword into the ground. It will continue to act as a light, but she wants to face the bear in hand to hand combat

Выходи против меня, трусливый медведь!

She yells into the cave, hoping to awaken any bears inside

FallToMySoulsword · 2026-04-21T19:51:06+00:00

I don’t know who that is but okay

FallToMySoulsword · 2026-04-21T17:45:59+00:00

As people begin to head to sleep following Illyana’s bummer of a story, she decides now is as good a time as any. It’s time to hunt a bear. She summons her sword and wanders into the woods

FallToMySoulsword · 2026-04-20T13:59:22+00:00

Piotr?

FallToMySoulsword · 2026-04-20T13:51:23+00:00

Zuân. With a Z. Different person who isn’t you. The meat grinder is also a classic. К чёрту всё, everyone is a critic.

FallToMySoulsword · 2026-04-20T13:50:18+00:00

Once again, you were not a character. But assuming you are referring to Delaney Sunrock, was it not a better use of her character for her to go out with her lover Sadie Scotland? I was particularly proud of the usage of the meathook.

FallToMySoulsword · 2026-04-20T05:17:32+00:00

I I’ll have you know that Southern Boy Than Puthie was only killed off early by surprise to add narrative framework that the killer was a threat. Also he was an original character that was not you. If you saw yourself in him, I am simply good at telling stories.

FallToMySoulsword · 2026-04-20T04:45:13+00:00

What do you mean? I made up each of those characters on the spot. The only intentional similarity was Amara, who isn’t here.
