"Boring and less of a concern. Once you have your soul taken things cannot get much worse," she said with a strangely lackadaisical tone. "I'm a mutant, our lives are always more...exciting than others. Especially with my abilities." Mutants that could shift through time and realities always led the most...exciting lives. Horrifying. That word actually hit the nail on the head when it came to a lot of her adventures. Demonic realms, traveling through the past and future, all of it was pretty horrifying, but for better or worse she'd gotten used to it.
"I think it's still down there. It does not travel up though." At least not yet. It occurred to her that it might fully awaken someday and do so. Clearly it had been trapped down there for a reason by someone. Perhaps she should have paid a bit more attention to it all, but she was strangely tired of playing hero. "Jagger knows more." At least she was fairly certain he did. He had worked with the people who had been investigating it. "If it awakens I will know." She was pretty confident she'd sense something with that much magic at it's disposal. Especially considering how much of her free time she'd spent learning even more about magic than she knew before (and she knew quite a lot before).
"Very sensitive. Temperamental. Experimental." Sometimes she experimented with translocation spells, ways to return them all home. Other times she experimented with seals, things that might work to close the portal that was allowing bits of other worlds to pulse through. Currently she was trying to learn better wards. In her head she had a perfect idea of creating a pentagram around the entire city that could act as a warning or warding system if danger approached. That was a pretty big undertaking though with how unstable this place was.
"Anyone can learn to cook," she said with a shrug. Anyone could learn anything, couldn't they? Unless they were Kitty. She was...well, she tried. Illyana happily took another huge bite of her pretzel and when she spoke again it was through chews. "What is the point of less sweet?" No, that didn't sound fun at all. The sweet was the best part. She shrugged a shoulder and finished her bite before speaking again, see, she could be polite sometimes. Sort of.
"If it's experiment was as bad it sounds, most likely not. Did you consider it was lying about what it was trying to do? Maybe you were going to be sacrifices to restore it's kind. I've seen that before."
