DT1: Refueling

"But batteries do not have speakers."

by **Miriam Bell** » Sun Jul 26, 2015 3:07 am

"No but they could have. Stereos have both."

by **Will Stanton** » Sun Jul 26, 2015 3:08 am

"Well, that works great when I'm a stereo."

by **Miriam Bell** » Sun Jul 26, 2015 3:14 am

"So why can't you be a blanket or a table or a fork that also has a miniature speaker?"

by **Will Stanton** » Sun Jul 26, 2015 3:31 am

"Because that's not how those things work. They're not right."

by **Miriam Bell** » Sun Jul 26, 2015 3:32 am

"So? People said that about reading minds. Hell, they still do."

by **Will Stanton** » Sun Jul 26, 2015 3:35 am

"That's different."

by **Miriam Bell** » Sun Jul 26, 2015 3:39 am

"How? You turn into things at will, as far as I can tell."

by **Will Stanton** » Sun Jul 26, 2015 3:43 am

"Oh, no. I turn into very specific things."

by **Miriam Bell** » Sun Jul 26, 2015 3:49 am

"So if a table with a built-in speaker existed you could turn into it?"

by **Will Stanton** » Sun Jul 26, 2015 6:36 am

"Oh, probably not. I only really do the one table."

"How do you pick up new shapes then?"

by **Will Stanton** » Sun Jul 26, 2015 8:13 pm

"Mostly manually--the girl form I made for Sam, for example, needed Alex to help mould me."

by **Miriam Bell** » Sun Jul 26, 2015 8:32 pm

"The girl form you made for Sam?" she asks, quirking an eyebrow.

by **Will Stanton** » Sun Jul 26, 2015 8:42 pm

"Yeah. I'd show you but, you know. Chrome."

by **Miriam Bell** » Sun Jul 26, 2015 8:44 pm

"I don't mind the chrome." she shrugs. "How did Sam like the shape you made for her?" she says, trying not to sound amused at Will's innocence about having a crush.

by **Will Stanton** » Sun Jul 26, 2015 8:59 pm

"She hasn't complained," Will said, after thinking for a bit.

by **Miriam Bell** » Sun Jul 26, 2015 9:03 pm

"Seems like kind of an underwhelming response for something like that..."

by **Will Stanton** » Sun Jul 26, 2015 9:03 pm

"What would be a whelming response?"

by **Miriam Bell** » Sun Jul 26, 2015 9:04 pm

"Well, did she appreciate it?"

by **Will Stanton** » Sun Jul 26, 2015 9:11 pm

"I mean, I guess? Sort of? She kind of didn't say much one way or another, but, to be fair, she was depressed after her date with Nailah didn't work."

by **Miriam Bell** » Sun Jul 26, 2015 9:15 pm

"Ah, I see... Sounds like she wasn't really in the right mood to, hmm." she says, frowning a little.

by **Will Stanton** » Sun Jul 26, 2015 9:25 pm

"The right mood to...?"

by **Miriam Bell** » Sun Jul 26, 2015 9:53 pm

"Appreciate the effort."

by **Will Stanton** » Sun Jul 26, 2015 9:56 pm

"Oh, I'm not looking to be appreciated, per se. If it makes it more comfortable to be around me, then it's good."

by **Miriam Bell** » Sun Jul 26, 2015 11:40 pm

"Does she know that you have a crush on her?" she asks bluntly.

by **Will Stanton** » Sun Jul 26, 2015 11:49 pm

"I don't think so. I mean, she's a telepath, so I can't be sure."

by **Miriam Bell** » Mon Jul 27, 2015 12:14 am

"No, she doesn't seem the type to casually read someone's mind like that..."

by **Will Stanton** » Mon Jul 27, 2015 12:47 am

"So, then, I'm going with no."

by **Miriam Bell** » Mon Jul 27, 2015 12:56 am

"Well as long as she's not stringing you along. I could talk to her if you want."

by **Will Stanton** » Mon Jul 27, 2015 1:05 am

"Oh, I'm not sure that would be a good idea. I mean, it might make things weird, yes?"

by **Miriam Bell** » Mon Jul 27, 2015 1:13 am

"That's always the risk, I suppose."

by **Will Stanton** » Mon Jul 27, 2015 1:39 am

"Plus...I don't want her to see me like this."

by **Miriam Bell** » Mon Jul 27, 2015 2:14 am

"I can understand that. Do you want me to take a look and see if it's a subconscious things?" she says, tapping her temple.

by **Will Stanton** » Mon Jul 27, 2015 2:17 am

"I mean, if you think it would help..."

by **Miriam Bell** » Mon Jul 27, 2015 2:23 am

"Well you're a shapeshifter who is having trouble getting the shape right. It could very well be psychosomatic. It might be worth the try."

by **Will Stanton** » Mon Jul 27, 2015 2:24 am

"Well, I trust you."

by **Miriam Bell** » Mon Jul 27, 2015 3:38 am

Miriam smiles. "I'll just take a quick look then." She reaches out to Will with her mind...

by **Will Stanton** » Mon Jul 27, 2015 7:41 pm

Once again, entering Will's mind offered little to no resistance--any telepath worth their salt could waltz right in.

Hey, her repaired building was still there! That's nice. That's probably a promising start.

Still, very very odd no one else was here.

Miriam once again hovers above the sea of clay, only this time she's looking for any signs that things might be different. Metaphorical chrome among the ruins, maybe. She really hopes she won't have to dig through the mud to find anything. As conveniently adaptive most of Will's mind was, it also made it difficult to determine what everything was without any activity from which to glean meaning.

Maybe a metal detector would work. She reaches down into the clay and enforces her will on it to create the tool she's looking for.
