Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie has not seen Illyana for a day or two, so he has decided to come check on her. He has bought her a bag of stuff, and will come to her room to knock on the door "Hey Ill, you here?"

Magik has posed:
Longer really.

Illyana has been cloistered away in Limbo for weeks, dealing with what could amount to an insurrection. Now that it is over, she's returned to Earth more regularly and placed a horrible imp of a creature in her room at the Mansion just incase anyone comes calling upon her. The creature, barely two foot tall, looks like something straight out of pans labrynth and chitters in the demonic tongue at Sam when he enters the room.

Moments later Illy appears in a burst of dark energy through one of the summoning discs. The force of it jostles her blonde hair from her shoulders and leaves a heat radiating off her that she's completely unaware of herself. "Hello Samuel." She says in a distant voice, turning pale eyes to regard him fully. "Is that for me?" Pointing with a flick of fingers at the bag he's carrying.

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie nods, and says "Yea, I thought you might be able to use a bit of a treat. Inside she will find her favorite snacks. Sam has known her long enough to know which ones she likes. "I aint seen you in a bit and was worried about ya Ill." He will tell her. He offers her the bag, and says "You ok?"

Magik has posed:
Illy accepts the offered back and gazes down into it curiously, if a bit robotically. "I am okay." She assures Sam while fishing out some of the treats within for inspection, mostly crackers. Cheese-its of varying flavors and probably something from a Russian specialty store. "Thank you." Bag set aside on her bed, which looks like it hasn't been slept in recently. "You are also well, da?"

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie says, "I am doing ok, better that I was a bit ago, and getting better." He puts a hand on her shoulder and looks at her "You know you need something we are here for ya. Is there problems in Limbo, do you need some help there, something Ah can do to help?""

Magik has posed:
Illyana's eyes don't go wide, but they're naturally a little wider than most, and she looks at the hand on her shoulder with a cant of her head. "Limbo is fine. I would not want anyone to shoulder that burdon unnecessarily. If it is required, I will seek out help." She assures him, hands clasped infront of her waist. "It feels like you all need more help than I do. Sentinels? Humans are up to their nonsense again."

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie nods and says "Yea, we found out that larger ones that set up to make the smaller ones. We found a few of their plants and seems we have got public opinion on our side. We maybe working on going in again soon, not sure fully yet." He admits to her. "And if you need help with something it aint shouldering a burden Ill. Your family Hell or high water We are there for ya, even when it is literal.' He offers her a smile

Magik has posed:
Illy inclines her head at this bit of information, "Should be careful with these robots." She reasons, breathing a slow sigh, "Why do humans do these things? It is like they are stupid and want to push mutants into a war, one humans cannot win." Genosha is probably already considering the options. Limbo certainly is. She frowns deeply and shakes her head, "I hate it here. I hate them. I do not want to hate anyone, but I do."

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie looks to her, and says "Ill, it aint all it is people who fear or are jealous. Those are the ones who have issues with us, same type of people who hated people cause type were different color, or religion or what not. You know there were people in Brazil who hated Bobby cause of his skin color, not even knowing he was a mutant. The thing people need to remember is human or mutant, we are all people.

Magik has posed:
"It is always something and we are always making excuses for them." Illyana frown deepens, "I am done making excuses for them. I will not seek them out, but if I am confronted by human or sentinel who presents itself as an enemy, I will show them errors in their way." Her thin shoulders roll backwards, "They have not yet begun to understand how afraid they can be."

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie shakes his head and says "That is not the way to do things, that will just bring more to their side. We need to show them we are better than hate, not inspire more. Illyana, how well did it turn out for those who made you fear them when you were young?

Magik has posed:
Illyana grunts, "You are wrong. I will not be a victom, nor suffer anyone who would attempt to make me a victom. I do not fear them." She raises a hand to point at the interior wall of the mansion, "I will not seek out their places or confront them in their peaceful rallies, but I will not be accosted nor made to feel lesser by people to whom I behold nothing. I suffer endlessly in Limbo so that these people do not have to know fear like I knew and I will not be punished here on Earth for it." Her expression darkens, "If they make a fight with me, I will win that fight."

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie looks to her, and says "You do not have to spend all your time there Ill. You are one of us, your allowed to have a life here to let your hair down and be one of us. You do not have to hold the door alone, You have those who care about you here, and want you to be able to be at peace.

Magik has posed:
Illyana narrows her eyes, "I know that Samuel, but the burdon is still mine no matter who stands beside me. If I fail there, that is my failure. If Limbo comes to Earth, that hell is on my shoulders. I appreciate what you are saying, and I am not dismissing it." She holds hands up and then lets them fall back to her legs. "I will try to return more, but events in Limbo have prevent me being away for long. There is a shift in the powers and I can feel something dark on the horizon."

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie says, "Well if there is nothing Ah can do by crashing into something, is there anything Doc Strange or Thor can do to help? They are both magical types, and might be able to lend you a hand."

Magik has posed:
"I am not saying you cannot help, I am saying you cannot help right now." Illyana clarifies, watching Samuel. "Until I know more, there is nothing anyone can do. Neither of them would be better suited to what I have to do there than I am until I am more of aware of what has changed." She's quiet for a half beat, "But I will speak with them."

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie nods, and says "Ok Ill, Ah just miss seeing you, we have most of the original class here, and Ah an wanting the younger kids to see we are family.'

Magik has posed:
"Then show them." Illyana says with a frown and a glance at the bag of treats sitting on her bed, "I will try to be present more often so that I can assist in showing that we are family."

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie looks to her, and says "Ok, well, Ah just want to make sure your ok, and we are always here for you. You should come check out the club sometime.

Magik has posed:
Illyana nods, reaching for the bag of treats to craddle in the curve of her left arm, "I will do that. Where is club?" Her expression is hard, but she's clearly trying not to direct it at Samuel.

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie says, "Club Evolution in Mutant town. Bobby bought it and I am managing it. Is all ages, and Dazzler is going to play there soon, we have nights for local talent too."

Magik has posed:
"I will come by sometime, then." Illyana promises, bringing her right hand up to summon a teleportation disc, "Thank you for the treats, Sam. I will try to return sooner than I have recently." She snaps and points at the imp which has reappeared, "He is here if you wish to get in contact with me when I am not around."

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie nods, and says "I will remember it." He does step close, and actually gives her a quick hug, and steps back, wanting to give her some human contact but not make her too weirded out. See ya soon Ill.

Magik has posed:
"What are you doing?" Illyana stiffens when he steps in close and almost brings her hand up to block the hug until she realizes what he's doing. While she doesn't return it, she also doesn't prevent it, and stands there for a second staring at him. Her right hand snaps to the side, pulling the teleportation disc across her, and disappearing her with treats back to Limbo in the same flash of dark magic. Bits of paper flutter on thumbtac board when the portal disc vanishes, the imp chitters at Samuel, then crawls beneath the bed.

Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie hmms and watches the area obviously worried about her a bit but done what he can. He just has to wait and faith in his friend.
