Illyana Rasputina <Text: Private Number> >> Everyone worries about angels flying around and causing trouble. No one thinks about dangers of magical desire pollen.
Illyana Rasputina <Text: Private Number> >> Did you know people from Virginia have no resistance to pollen or falling in love at random?
Stephen Strange <Text: Private Number> >> I find it fascinating that you have this knowledge about Virginians in general. I would not have considered it before.
Stephen Strange <Text: Private Number> >> In any case, I was not aware there was a wave of amorous pollen in the forecast for this week.
Illyana Rasputina <Text: Private Number> >> In Russia, we have too much to worry about for a little sneeze. You think it's that bad?
Illyana Rasputina <Text: Private Number> >> Maybe Virginia is cursed. After Jefferson did such things to his children, I would think this very plausible. We must be made of stronger stuff to resist this pollen. Or someone will get a sword in them.
Stephen Strange <Text: Private Number> >> I am not sure. It could be a rather extreme bit of exaggeration, especially if the malady is isolated in Virginia.
Stephen Strange <Text: Private Number> >> Though....it is quite possible that Virginia is cursed. Considering its history, it would not surprise me. Perhaps a field trip would be in order.
Illyana Rasputina <Text: Private Number> >> Do we have evidence it is limited only to Virginia? I have testimony from a Virginian. What's beside it?
Illyana Rasputina <Text: Private Number> >> The last time I checked, portals still worked and went to Virginia. There may be beaches there. We can make an appearance with the surf at our backs. V. impressive.
Stephen Strange <Text: Private Number> >> We don't. At least, not yet. I would imagine that this would be something that would be less memorable than biblically accurate angels. Easily explained away as spring fever or some such.
Stephen Strange <Text: Private Number> >> Yes, it would be a rather grand entrance. Are you saying you wish for visiting the beach, my dear?
Illyana Rasputina <Text: Private Number> >> 'accurate' angels. Stories do not say they are complete assholes full of opinions of themselves, do they?
Illyana Rasputina <Text: Private Number> >> Is it beach season? Snow is mostly gone. The sun is out. We can go to the beach. I have never seen you swim.
Stephen Strange <Text: Private Number> >> The stories do tend to gloss over the particular viewpoints of said entities. Most likely due to the author fearing some sort of retribution in response. Stories are always highly opinionated sources of information with very little truth within.
Stephen Strange <Text: Private Number> >> There is a reason you have not seen me swim. Very tragic. Much better ways of traversing through water than to flail about in the hopes of maintaining propulsion.
Illyana Rasputina <Text: Private Number> >> Stories hold truth inside. A collective memory. What people do not say openly always they can bury in story. Legend and myth may be the last hiding place for truth when hunted so violently.
Illyana Rasputina <Text: Private Number> >> Oh. I sense there is a story here. I will not ask, you do not tell. We can wander over somewhere else.
Stephen Strange <Text: Private Number> >> Yes, stories do contain some truth. It becomes a matter of sorting the truth from the fiction. Always amusing to research to see which is which.
Stephen Strange <Text: Private Number> >> Well...I might tell. At some point, given proper encouragement. Needless to say, it is a skill that has waned somewhat over the years.
Illyana Rasputina <Text: Private Number> >> Stories of these angels will be diminished when something new and worse comes along. Always the way of it. New things replace old things, and none of the old ever seem so bad. We will tell googly-eyed children that we stopped the angels, and they will be so unimpressed. I am unimpressed.
Illyana Rasputina <Text: Private Number> >> You think there is purpose in swimming for propulsion, that is the main problem. It is mostly to intrigue whales and look enticing, isn't it?
Stephen Strange <Text: Private Number> >> To be quite honest, my dear, you are rather hard to impress. Though, I have no doubt you will be proven correct in regards to the escalation of events. I just certainly hope that said escalation will hold off for a while.
Stephen Strange <Text: Private Number> >> Intrigue whales and look enticing? Well, if that is the case, then I certainly have not been swimming in the proper fashion.
Illyana Rasputina <Text: Private Number> >> You have not talked to a whale? The movie said they came back to rescue us all from environmental damage. Whales are much smarter than humans! You should ask them more.
Illyana Rasputina <Text: Private Number> >> I am not hard to impress. You have managed it. Why else do you have that cloak waving at me in grand folds and wiggly bits.
Stephen Strange <Text: Private Number> >> Well, I wouldn't take the word of a movie. Though I do not find it hard to believe that whales are smarter. Judging from the events I have seen, it is almost a certainty.
Stephen Strange <Text: Private Number> >> I did manage. I am still pondering how exactly I did. But...the cloak. Ah...it will be happy to know that.
Illyana Rasputina <Text: Private Number> >> They have significantly larger brains. They do not war against the shore. They are much better than we are, da?
Stephen Strange <Text: Private Number> >> Yes. I would agree. Whales are better than people, especially in light of their anti-warlike efforts.
Illyana Rasputina <Text: Private Number> >> Priorities, priorities. Then we should go seeking whales if they are willing to tolerate our company at least.
Stephen Strange <Text: Private Number> >> Sounds like a capital idea. We will make a day of it. Dramatic beach arrivals. Conversing with higher intelligences. And...investigating mystical love-enducing pollen. What could go wrong?
Illyana Rasputina <Text: Private Number> >> Capital idea. :| This is a curious thing to say.
Illyana Rasputina <Text: Private Number> >> Love-inducing pollen affecting you may be a scenario I must prepare for. I will pack extra for that.
Stephen Strange <Text: Private Number> >> Yes. Let us hope that we are not as susceptible to pollen as your average Virginian.
