Chelmsford - The Raven and the Bat

"There you go!" she laughs and pours herself a shot as well, though she savors it more. Or maybe she's just trying to wring what little taste she can pick up on out of it.

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Sep 21, 2021 3:11 pm

Given that their minds are still entwined, Miriam can get a bit of what Sam is tasting, the burn in the back of her throat, and so forth.

"I'll warn you, 'elegant' and 'dignified' are probably going out the window here," she smirks as she pours another.

by **Will Stanton** » Tue Sep 21, 2021 3:39 pm

We're going to have to drag you back to the dorms, aren't we?

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Sep 21, 2021 3:44 pm

"You're not my mum, Will."

by **Will Stanton** » Tue Sep 21, 2021 3:56 pm

I would hope not. That would make things much more awkward and complicated.

by **Miriam Bell** » Wed Sep 22, 2021 2:26 pm

"What's the point of having a designated driver or two if you're not going to take advantage of it." she says, pouring herself another glass. "And I shall grant you a pass on the elegance. Just don't go all the way to sloppy." she laughs.

"As if you wouldn't like a bit of mess."

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Sep 22, 2021 7:03 pm

Oh, she's fine with a mess, as long as she's not the one cleaning it up. A mess-maker, not a mess-handler.

by **Miriam Bell** » Thu Sep 23, 2021 2:28 pm

"I didn't ask to be put on blast like this but when you're right you're right." she sighs, followed by a bit of a chuckle.

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Sep 23, 2021 3:51 pm

If the two of you didn't want a degree of sass, there were plenty of options off the rack, above and beyond being all-powerful telepaths!

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Sep 23, 2021 5:35 pm

"I've a feeling that the non-sassy ones make rubbish clothes."

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Sep 23, 2021 6:05 pm

It's called fashion, darling.

by **Miriam Bell** » Thu Sep 23, 2021 7:09 pm

"Of course they would. Will's nothing if not bound by their own preconceived notions and, admittedly, better for it somehow."

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Sep 23, 2021 7:40 pm

We all have our roles to play. Some of us just go more method than others.

by **Miriam Bell** » Mon Oct 04, 2021 4:57 pm

"I don't think you'd want to see two telepaths go 'method'. Talk about messy."

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Oct 04, 2021 5:36 pm

"Bit of a feedback loop when that happens."

by **Miriam Bell** » Mon Oct 04, 2021 6:00 pm

"When? You've dealt with that before?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Oct 04, 2021 6:04 pm

"I've... had some odd times. With someone who's basically me, viewed at a different angle."

by **Miriam Bell** » Mon Oct 04, 2021 6:12 pm

"That'd do it alright. Hell, I'm not sure I'd make it out of that."

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Oct 04, 2021 6:46 pm

"Some days I wonder if I did."

by **Miriam Bell** » Mon Oct 04, 2021 8:09 pm

"You're worried she got too deep into your head?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Oct 04, 2021 8:12 pm

"We're... more similar than either of us care to admit. Enough that we don't just bleed together mentally, but physically."

by **Miriam Bell** » Mon Oct 04, 2021 10:31 pm

"Now there's a disturbing thought. You guys... shapeshifted into one person?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Oct 04, 2021 11:41 pm

"Trapped me in my own body. I can divide myself, I can come back together. Turns out that can go a bit further."

by **Miriam Bell** » Tue Oct 05, 2021 2:04 pm

"That explains why you've been a bit more tolerable lately." she says before she can think better of it. "I kid, I kid!" she adds, for once in her life.

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Oct 05, 2021 2:25 pm

"I don't think she's your type," she manages to say with a smirk.

by **Miriam Bell** » Tue Oct 05, 2021 3:10 pm

"I'll take your word on it. But maybe she loosened you up some." she laughs. "After all, you're rolling around in the metaphorical mud with me right now."

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Oct 05, 2021 3:36 pm

"I hope you don't take this the wrong way but you just... seemed like you needed it?"

by **Miriam Bell** » Tue Oct 05, 2021 3:43 pm

Miriam stares at Sam for a couple of quite uncomfortable seconds.

"I'm trying really hard to figure out what the right way to take that is..." she finally says.

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Oct 05, 2021 3:46 pm

"Is it really that bad to say you needed a night out?"

by **Miriam Bell** » Tue Oct 05, 2021 4:06 pm

"It is if you make it sound like you took pity on me."

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Oct 05, 2021 4:09 pm

"Not at all. It just... well it seemed like you needed an excuse, aye? The whole competition thing."

"So I guess I just figured... well, that's what your pride would allow."

by **Miriam Bell** » Tue Oct 05, 2021 4:13 pm

"Do you know how obnoxious you are when you have a point?" Miriam groans, index and middle finger dramatically placed on her brow.

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Oct 05, 2021 4:18 pm

"I am still swimming in your... general Miriam-ness over here."

by **Miriam Bell** » Tue Oct 05, 2021 5:34 pm

"Touche, touche." she admits. "Fine, you're right, I needed this pretty badly and maybe any thoughts of pity just come from my own head."

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Oct 05, 2021 5:46 pm

"Marinating in Miriam isn't that bad, if a bit gothic and rose-focused."

by **Will Stanton** » Tue Oct 05, 2021 5:51 pm

Definitely good when you need a case of the morbs.

by **Miriam Bell** » Tue Oct 05, 2021 6:53 pm

"It's been worse, I will say. Suppose I've been getting a little more perspective on things, lately."

"And if you ever use the word 'morbs' again I will turn you into a bath-rug for the dorm showers."

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Oct 06, 2021 12:06 am

"Well, I'd be alarmed if a few nice nights out completely inverted your personality."

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Oct 06, 2021 2:37 am

If sleeping on a zenned-out mattress every night won't do it, then nothing will.

We all stay true to our core selves at the end of the day.

Even if that core self is deep in the morbs.
