Alas, poor Daniel

By a skull and some bones, the Dark Phoenix appeared, having taken a very long way around.

"Oh, get up," she said, blasting the remains with a bolt of...something.

"Not all of us can ...you know... gather ourselves back together after... some bitch disperses us. Little... more help here?" The thoughts were faint, and rather disoriented, but there.

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Sun Nov 27, 2011 10:39 pm

"Not with her powers, I won't. That is something you must do."

by **Daniel Uriel** » Sun Nov 27, 2011 10:46 pm

"You think I need to drop her power? That makes two of us. Just... Need to reform first... I..."

"And incapable of doing it by yourself. That's why I'm here," she said, telekinetically moving bones around.

"Remind me, what is the hip-bone connected to?"

by **Daniel Uriel** » Sun Nov 27, 2011 11:05 pm

"Thigh bone. Just... Hold onto my energy. I... This has never happened, I can't try to drop it without someone holding me together..." Through their mind link, Mira could feel that the bones were trying to get back to their correct arrangement. And she could feel something Daniel never let anyone see... He was afraid.

"Settle down, Acolyte. I am here."

by **Daniel Uriel** » Sun Nov 27, 2011 11:17 pm

If Daniel had lungs, he'd have taken a deep breath. "Sorry."

"So did I miss anything good? Is everyone okay?" There was a slow gathering of heat around the bones as they were put back into place.

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Sun Nov 27, 2011 11:18 pm

"No." she said, ambiguously, working with the bones.

by **Daniel Uriel** » Sun Nov 27, 2011 11:29 pm

"Okay, everyone from our universe all right?"

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Sun Nov 27, 2011 11:45 pm

"...yes."

by **Daniel Uriel** » Sun Nov 27, 2011 11:50 pm

"Good. Are we ready to go home?"

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Sun Nov 27, 2011 11:56 pm

"....yes." she said, quietly.

by **Daniel Uriel** » Sun Nov 27, 2011 11:58 pm

"...Is there something you're not telling me?" Of their own accord, the bones began snapping into the correct position in relation to each other, the air around them beginning to faintly glow.

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Mon Nov 28, 2011 12:02 am

"Don't ask questions like that."

by **Daniel Uriel** » Mon Nov 28, 2011 12:08 am

There was a sudden flare of energy, and a hissing sound that became a hum, that became a scream as Daniel's form returned to flesh. He lay curled in the fetal position, shivering uncontrollably... but other than that, seeming in good shape. "G-g-g-god that h-hurt," he muttered, the air around him warming up more than usual as he tried to get used to being flesh and not a living fire again. "So... w-what aren't you t-t-telling me?"

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Mon Nov 28, 2011 12:22 am

"Put pants on," she said, dodging the question, and producing a (surprisingly familiar, to certain mages back in the other universe) pair of pants.

by **Daniel Uriel** » Mon Nov 28, 2011 12:26 am

Daniel glanced at the pants, then snatched them and started pulling them on. "Ugh... too big. So... what aren't you telling me?"

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Mon Nov 28, 2011 12:27 am

"Nothing, Acolyte. You should....rejoin the others."

by **Daniel Uriel** » Mon Nov 28, 2011 12:29 am

He looked at her oddly. "You know, I can't remember any time that you've avoided calling me by my name. What's wrong?"

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Mon Nov 28, 2011 12:30 am

"Just look around you, Aco...Daniel. Just LOOK."

by **Daniel Uriel** » Mon Nov 28, 2011 12:35 am

Daniel looked around at the general devastation, then something caught his eye and he looked up. "Oh. I... guess that's one way to end a fight," he said, blinking. Wow.

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Mon Nov 28, 2011 12:40 am

"It's over," she agreed. "You should get back."

by **Daniel Uriel** » Mon Nov 28, 2011 12:42 am

"See, the part that's catching me up is where you aren't saying we should get back with the others."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Mon Nov 28, 2011 12:43 am

"I'll join you shortly," she said, curtly.

by **Daniel Uriel** » Mon Nov 28, 2011 12:47 am

"This is where we get back to the 'what aren't you telling me' part," Daniel asked, looking at her, concerned.

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Mon Nov 28, 2011 12:49 am

"Do you not have EYES?" she snapped at him.

by **Daniel Uriel** » Mon Nov 28, 2011 1:00 am

"COntrary to popular belief, I pick up on a lot of things," Daniel snapped back. "THe part I care about is whatever part is bugging you. Yes, the moon's toast. Yes, this crappy city on this crappy planet in this crappy universe is toast. Yes, you're all dressed in red, which I'm going to choose until you tell me otherwise to figure is because you like how it matches your hair. Yes, you just had to kill someone, I think." He stood up, holding the pants tight with one hand at his side to keep them up. "Talk to me!"

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Mon Nov 28, 2011 1:02 am

"You DARE to make demands of the Dark Phoenix?"

by **Daniel Uriel** » Mon Nov 28, 2011 1:07 am

"I do this to all my friends when they start acting like I'm an idiot that can't possibly grasp what's going on in their heads. Just ask Kyra," Daniel shot back. "If you were going to kill me, you wouldn't have just saved me. So what's wrong"

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Mon Nov 28, 2011 1:12 am

"Don't question me, Acolyte. Shouldn't you be bowing or worshiping or something."

by **Daniel Uriel** » Mon Nov 28, 2011 1:16 am

Daniel looked at her with his head cocked for a moment, then sighed, taking a step closer to her. "Hey," he said, more quietly. "This is me. Talk to me," he said. "You can trust me. You know that."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Mon Nov 28, 2011 1:22 am

"Get AWAY, I said!"

by **Daniel Uriel** » Mon Nov 28, 2011 1:27 am

Daniel sighed and stepped closer. "Hey. You know that obedience isn't my strong point," he said quietly, looking at her worriedly.

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Mon Nov 28, 2011 1:35 am

"We all have our faults."

by **Daniel Uriel** » Mon Nov 28, 2011 1:45 am

"Yeah, but listening isn't one of them. And I'm not stupid. So talk to me," he said quietly. He looked her over. "So... you like how the red looks, then?"

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Mon Nov 28, 2011 3:28 am

"Why you..." she frowned, eyes flaring. "How dare you make light of me?"

by **Daniel Uriel** » Mon Nov 28, 2011 3:30 am

"I dare because it gets you to talk," he said, evenly, and a little sadly. "So. Stop me when it sounds familiar... you probably had to kill her. Probably. But it's hard to tell, because you were also pretty pissed off. So now it's over, and it feels like you had to, but you aren't sure about that, but there was also a part of you that's glad you did it, or maybe even enjoyed it, and another part that hates that you did it. And you don't really know what to think about any of it."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Mon Nov 28, 2011 4:03 pm

"No one enjoys that. NO one."

by **Daniel Uriel** » Mon Nov 28, 2011 5:43 pm

"Dark Phoenix does. Dark Phoenix mindlessly destroys and kills because it can, and doesn't give a damn what gets in its way." He looked her over again. "Y'know... now that I get a closer look, I don't think that the red really suits you after all. Green again would probably look better."
