I'm catching a cab out to Strange's place tonight - I just finished talking to him and he thinks it's best if I get the hell out of here for the night, considering Illyana's mates coming back this afternoon and the fact that everyone's sticking their fucking head in the sand and not giving a rat's about the fact we've got the fucking Queen of Limbo living in the house. But no, I'm just being prejudiced and intolerant, demon-phobic even. So let the fucking wankers deal with it, I'm fed up.
I was just going to get the hell out and doss down in a hotel or something for the night, but Strange seems to think I need watching. Considering the fact I've been too scared to sleep since Nate's whammy wore off, he might have a point. Least if I go off the deep end he can shut me down just as well as Nate or the prof.
I swear, I think I'm going fucking balmy. It never lets up, does it?
Be back tomorrow sometime, when my head's back on straight. Or as straight as it gets.

You people just aren't getting it, are you?
This isn't the same as having a dodgy past. Limbo isn't like the Mafia, or Mistra, or any human agency. It's a fucking _hell dimension_, and what you find in hell is evil. Illyana's story about being rescued early on by whoever it is this week and never growing up with Belasco (tht's the bastard who took her, by the way) is a lie. She was raised by a demon lord, taught magic by a demon lord, used in fuck knows what kind of rituals. By a demon lord.
And I know, pot paging kettle. But the difference between me and Illyana is that Rack was _human_. A fucked up beyond belief sadistic arsehole, but human. He didn't have the power to corrupt my soul - that's why he had to bring a demon into the mix to do it. Those scars on my legs? A souvenier from that nutcases cute little fuzzy demon friends.
Belasco had more than enough power to corrupt Illyana, make her something other than human. I didn't see her on the lawn on Saturday, which is probably a good thing since I'd be half-way back to Rom by now, but if I had, I'd be able to tell, one way or the other, whether Illyana's still human or whether she's demon. So I'm giving her that small benefit of the doubt. But either way, she's dangerous, she lied, and her lies put us - put the little kids, for Christs' sake, including Miles - in more danger than some thugs with guns.
Perhaps the school is the best place for her. But I'm sick of being put in danger because Xavier's a soft touch and believes everyone can be saved. At the very least we should know what we're dealing with here. I'm sorry she got hurt, but that doesn't change the situation. Hurt or not, she's still apparently the ruler of Limbo, and that scares the fuck out of me.
I'll be back this afternoon - Strange has classes and stuff to get ready. I'll talk to you then.
