Look Past the Blood on Your Hands

[asoftermeme]

Look Past the Blood on Your Hands Red's in your ledger or you're making your way towards a crimson page by your very nature. Did you simply do what you had to do in order to survive? No one could understand how you lived. That could be just what you tell yourself, though; really, you might have enjoyed your crimes. You're not proud of some of what you've done, no matter what, and there's a part of you that will probably never heal. If you were someone else looking in, you'd never be able to stand looking at you, much less stomach you. But someone does all of that willingly. They can look past the blood on your hands and the bad decisions weighing on your shoulders. It's you they care about, not your history. Actually, they may even love you, though you can't begin to fathom why. Comment with your character, preferences, and whether your character is the one with guilt or past sins or the one looking past all that. Reply to others. Have fun.

The disgust Mileena had felt for the woman in red was beginning to subdue, anyone who could see themselves as a monster and admit it so openly almost immediately gained her approval. Although it was difficult to tell by the shifting of her veil there was an expression moving on the demon-woman's face, she was smiling.

"You... are right." She says, and her voice had now shifted from a rough, scratching tone to something almost playful. She idly begins to circle the woman in slow, exaggerated steps. "Although you are luckier than most. Us monsters need to be on guard because of our looks, you? Well, you could just blend in whenever you needed to." She flippantly waves her hand at some invisible conscious on her shoulder "And forgiveness is so overrated. Why be like anyone else, when you can stand out, and bloom like the hideous, little rose you are."

Wanda turns slowly to keep the other woman in sight. Even touching her mind, she's not entirely sure whether or not to count her as a threat, can't quite pinpoint her motivation here.

But blending in, that much is true. On the surface she's the same as anyone else, by appearance alone.

"I've made that choice before. I regret it." That innocent people got hurt anyway, in her quest for vengeance. And because of that she'd lost everything.

"Why do you regret it, my darling?" She purred out the pet name as though it was thick with affection, hints of an expression pull at the mask covering her face. Kind as she may have seemed to take this much interest in the witch there was definitely something sinister behind Mileena's intentions.

"Did you fail to achieve your goal? Or did someone terrible take it from you? Don't be shy, you can tell me anything you want."
