twenty-fourth phase [ dictated ]

[walkinthruwalls]

[ Everybody was gone. Everyone from home, anyway. It had been slowly coming for months but now she was all that was left. The last mutant. The last X-Man. And it sucked. In nine days she'd have been here for eight months. For most of that there'd been someone, a reason to actually keep doing everything that she did. She'd fought to keep the training going and to not give up. Now? Now she wanted to give up and she couldn't find a reason to not ]

I can walk through anything. Even here the only thing that's stopped me has been the Dead Zone. For every entrance there's an exit, even a hidden door. Maybe out further into the Dead Zone is where it's hiding and that's why we haven't found it - maybe it's further than we've been. I'd rather find it than wait to be picked off.

It is what give me much the same abilities. I can reach into a man and tear out his insides.

[walkinthruwalls]

I've never tried doing that... or wanted to.

[wolfuncaged.livejournal.com]

I never had any choice in the matter.

[walkinthruwalls]

You were forced to kill someone?

[wolfuncaged.livejournal.com]

I was a slave, my life, my actions, were all dictated by my master.

[walkinthruwalls]

That sounds awful, I'm sorry.

[wolfuncaged.livejournal.com]

It was, but there is nothing that can be done about it.

[walkinthruwalls]

What about here? Can you phase on your own or only if he makes you?

[wolfuncaged.livejournal.com]

I can do as I like here. I escaped nine years ago.

[walkinthruwalls]

Can you still phase?

[wolfuncaged.livejournal.com]

You mean pass through people? Yes, I can. My abilities have not changed with my Master's absence.

[walkinthruwalls]

Is that a good thing?

[wolfuncaged.livejournal.com]

They have kept me alive on more than one occasion.

[walkinthruwalls]

I guess that's the best reason, then. Did you have your abilities before your Master got to you?

[wolfuncaged.livejournal.com]

No, he burned the lyrium into my flesh to give me my abilities.

[walkinthruwalls]

That sounds painful.

[wolfuncaged.livejournal.com]

It was agonising, and the pain still haunts me.

[walkinthruwalls]

At least you don't have to feel it any more.

[wolfuncaged.livejournal.com]

I do, not as much as it once did, but it it still there.

[walkinthruwalls]

Oh. [ Oops. Bummer ] Will you always feel it?

[wolfuncaged.livejournal.com]

That is quite likely, yes.

[walkinthruwalls]

Is there anything you can do about it?

[wolfuncaged.livejournal.com]

Not that I know of, no. The lyrium is burned deep, there is no easing it or removing it.

[walkinthruwalls]

Is there anything here that can help?

[wolfuncaged.livejournal.com]

Felix tried, and almost got himself killed in the process. I will not have people harming themselves for my benefit.
