Psychic constructs.

I don't think I've ever seen that before.

[sophielicious]

Quire can do it, so you'll probably see it.

Not my niche, though.

[kryptonix]

Nothing wrong with that . . . right?

[sophielicious]

Nope. I mean, it comes in all different shapes and sizes and all.

Well. I guess this is what I wanted to talk to you about, so. What now? You are here, so. Pool?

[kryptonix]

[ he shrugs. ]

I could go for a swim.

[sophielicious]

Don't destroy my fucking pool. Go ahead, I gotta change, I'll meet you out.

(He probably saw it anyway.)

[kryptonix]

I'm not going to destroy your pool.

[ obviously!! ]

[sophielicious]

I don't know what your cannonball looks like.

[kryptonix]

I wasn't going to do that. I would have just . . . . walked in?

[sophielicious]

That's because you're lame.

[kryptonix]

Now I feel I should destroy your pool on principle.

[sophielicious]

Wow, you'd do that to my best friend? Heartless.

[kryptonix]

Really? Not concerning that your best friend is a shallow hole of water?

[sophielicious]

Not for nothing, but I've been called that myself, I empathize with it.

(Listen. It's a joke. Hahaha. Unless?)

[kryptonix]

That feels concerning.

[sophielicious]

Yeah, yeah, go downstairs, I gotta change because that pool doesn't see me in any other way than fabulous.

(And she has a message to send to someone to meet them there.)

[kryptonix]

[ kell-el rolls his eyes but makes his way downstairs. ]

[sophielicious]

(She sends a friend a quick text, because that particular friend doesn't get Sophie in their brain, since it's horrifying. It reads:

come to the mansion's pool. cute boy alert. i want you to meet him.

She gets ready in a white bathing suit, and off she goes.)

[lingeringshadow]

[Illyana gets the message, scoffs, and then decides... Why not? She's in the mood to mess with someone, and besides, she can just teleport down--

Oh. No, she can't.

Okay, fine. So she walks down, you know, like a loser. Is she wearing a swimsuit? Nope. She's wearing her usual all black, although the ignorant would be forgiven for thinking her crop top and booty shorts are pool attire.]

Who do you need me to kick out?

[kryptonix]

[ kell-el had just been sitting by the side of the pool, at a loss. he's not much for . . . pool times. he glances at the newcomer with a frown. ]

What?

[sophielicious]

(On the inside? She's laughing so, so hard. On the outside, she's very serious, her face does not change. Instead, she just gestures.)

Less kick out, more kick in...to the pool. Magik, Kell, Kell, Magik. She's my...

(... Friend?)

... Personal demonic lady.

(Nailed it.)

[lingeringshadow]

Flattering.

[But sort of true, minus the "personal" part, so Illyana doesn't bother to correct her.]

You wanted me to meet him to... what? Check if he's possessed? Test his fighting skills?

[kryptonix]

[ demonic lady is a sequence of words new to him. he shoots sophie a quizzical look. ]

I'm not possessed. And my fighting skills are fine.

[sophielicious]

(She's trying to express that this is not just a random demonic lady she pulled from the streets, ok!!!!)

To meet him. And actually? You want to fight each other for funsies, just tell me, so I can go get the others and make popcorn. I bet on her.

If not, just hang around.

[lingeringshadow]

[Illyana grins, a definite troublemaking expression, as she pulls off her ridiculous boots.]

Of course you bet on me.

[Who wouldn't! She plops down on the side of the pool, sticking her feet into the water.]

So... Alien? Mutant? Science experiment? None of the above?

[This is directed at Kell, tactless but not judgmental. They're all sort of weirdos around here, right? And judging from those eyes of his, he's not your run of the mill human.]
