???? Grail [Action EVERYWHERE]

[dressofheaven]

[It starts with an unfamiliar woman walking up to the Breeding Centre in Goldenrod. She looks around for a bit, as if checking the place out, then puts her hands on her hips.]

Well, I think I just figured out what's going on.

[A few moments later, she's gone. Where? Well, it's fourth wall weekend. She could be anywhere.

Including right behind you, leaning over your shoulder and grinning.]

Hi!

[OOC: Route Future!Ilya is a go! Responses will come from feelmyheaven. Everyone is welcome! Meet her at the Centre, wherever your character is, trapped in a cave somewhere, doesn't matter.]

[Ilya gives her a confused look briefly, but shrugs and closes her eyes as requested.]

Alright. Now what?

[ When she's sure Illya's eyes are really closed, Xion discards the coat and puts it over Illya's body. As she pulls the zipper up, she can already see the cloth conform to Illya's body. Xion feels the darkness swirl around her as her form changes, turns metallic. She lets out a sigh as she settles into the cold metal frame of her armored self and looks down at her hand. The golden talons that adorn her fingertips look sharp, but she makes sure that when she grabs Illya's hand, they don't do anything. ]

Just keep them closed. This will be quick.

[ Her voice probably sounds like it's coming through a metal filter now, and then there's a sudden sound of wind and space being pushed aside as Xion summons a Corridor of Darkness. The smells bitter and there's a touch of cold now that she doesn't have her coat, but she walks inside, gently applying pressure to Illya's hand as she navigates to... somewhere. Anywhere but The World That Never Was. ]

[When she feels Xion putting her coat on her, Ilya slides her hands through the sleeves automatically and kind of hugs herself, a little smile showing on her face.

Right up until Xion speaks. It would be pretty much impossible for Ilya not to be able to tell that something is very wrong with her when she sounds like that. And it's pretty clear that Xion giving her her coat is just exacerbating the problem.]

Let's hurry. I think you need this thing more than I do.
