[ The video feed opens to what some may recognize as the Academy that randomly appeared a while ago. It's not in the greatest condition as shown by the camera moving around. Whose moving the camera? Good question, because it eventually focuses to reveal Illyana floating in the air upside down with her legs folded one across the other.
It's a very normal way to address people. Don't question it. ]
So, I guess we've just got this place now, huh? Clean up crew that came in really could have done a slightly better job. [ No judgement though. Well, maybe some judgement, but that's Illyana: snarky and judgmental. A brief glimpse of her imps working to clean up some rubble can be seen in the background here and there. Followed by a very loud CRASH sound and Illyana snapping: ]
Hey! Be careful back there. [ Is she concerned they'll get hurt? No.MaybeShe sighs and then returns to addressing the camera. ]
I was thinking maybe I could teach here. That's what it was used for before right? Not sure how many of you would have the talent, but it'd be something to do. [ And boy is she bored. ]
B. Night of the Shark
Illyana arrived at the beach in the afternoon wearing an actual bikini and giant sunglasses that looked like they belonged in the 80s. Try not to judge her too much, they were in style back when she went to beach parties with her friends. Imagine that, she thought to herself as she walked up to the shore. It felt like it was a different life that she was at a beach with all the other New Mutants. In a way it was, but that was more complicated than she wanted to spend time thinking about. Same could be said for the majority of her life both there and here now. Everything somehow got complicated when you thought about how you felt. Really had a way of killing the mood. Or at the very least for making the mood more sticky and twisty. Yup, that's exactly how she'd describe her weird feelings.
At least this place changed every now and then. That served as a way to at least attempt to find a distraction from weird things like remoistening about the past (she missed her friends) or thinking about the future (why did she want to see him right now?). The fact that the arrival of a beach just seemed to be making her sad was not lost on her as she wandered up and down the shore. She kept away from people as the sun began to set and barely paid any attention to anyone else around. This wasn't what people meant when they suggested she try to be more social. To add to the antisocial look she kept her sunglasses on even as the sun completely set.
That was when she noticed something out of the corner of her eyes that looked suspiciously like a fin.
"Well, well, well, what have we here?" A new project. That's what she'd found here. And so began her nighttime adventures with a landshark. Illyana can be found out at the beach at night sitting on a rock casting some sort of spell. Occasionally she can also be found...riding something. That's right, she's learned how to ride a landshark. Only a bit of it's body can be seen sticking out of the sand, mostly it ends up looking like she's just gliding on some sort of large rock. Gliding on it and having a stupid amount of fun. Not that she's going to admit to that part.

Now on the subject of the man, that… actually kind of sounded like it made some sort of sense? “Then maybe… Maybe I can do something to stop him and the thing in the tower. Maybe if I keep away from him long enough, I can figure stuff out?” Was that a tiny note of hope in his voice? Yes, it was. An innocent one at that… Hopefully it could work out like that, even if he knew he could just as easily fail if the man caught him.
no subject
"Maybe." There was no way for her to tell and she felt like promising him he could fix it would be wrong. Even more so after she caught that innocent glimmer of hope in his voice. "There are no guarantees but I think if he is so invested in catching you, there must be something important about you. Something he's afraid of. If there's truth in that, then maybe you can do something."

It was probably smart to not boost his hope too much anyway, otherwise he might be more upset later… So he nodded slowly, accepting that it wasn’t a guaranteed thing for him to reach for and succeed at. “I hope so. I hope I can do something at least.”
no subject
"Keep hoping. I have heard that will take you far." Did she believe it? No. But her tone was more sympathetic and kind than it would be to anyone else.
no subject
“I will, I gotta. I dunno what else to do but hope and try. Maybe that’s how hope works?” He wasn’t sure, but it would be nice if that were true.
no subject
"Unfortunately, that is. All you can do is hope and then have faith in that." Which...wasn't really helpful, but sometimes it was all you could do.

So, at least for now, the boy focused on the idea of a trip to the movies with Illyana, which honestly sounded kind of fun if there were snacks involved. “Yeah? Thanks, Illyana. What kinda snacks do they have when you go to the movies?” He asked curiously, since he hadn’t really checked the whole thing out himself. All he knew was there was a giant screen and longer stuff than you saw on televisions was played on them. But it wasn’t like tvs, at least from what people had explained when he asked about them.

The boy nodded quickly though as Illyana agreed they could make a snack salad. “Thanks, Illyana, I bet it’ll be really good!” Maybe movies would really be fun, right?
no subject
"I will leave room open in my schedule for it." Not that she really had a schedule.
no subject
Mono nodded quickly. “Okay! I’ll find out when my day off is and we can go that day!” Not that he thought his boss would say no if he asked for a special day off. He was kinda cool like that.
no subject
"Sounds good." Though she'd hazard to say they could just skip out on his work. "I'll see you then." She waved and then a portal appeared around her and she was off.
