Dinner For Two

by **Narrator** » Sat Jun 27, 2015 2:03 am

Will mentally frowned a little at that. Just a little, though.

by **Samantha McManus** » Sat Jun 27, 2015 2:03 am

"And there it is."

by **Miriam Bell** » Sat Jun 27, 2015 2:04 am

"You know, you're way too uptight about things, Sam."

by **Will Stanton** » Sat Jun 27, 2015 2:22 am

So...you only like girls?

by **Samantha McManus** » Sat Jun 27, 2015 2:23 am

"I just... it's pleasant to look at."

"See, this is what I was talking about. It has to be some big thing, now."

by **Miriam Bell** » Sat Jun 27, 2015 2:24 am

"Sam, the only one making a thing out of it is you."

by **Will Stanton** » Sat Jun 27, 2015 2:24 am

No! No, no no. No no no! No. No no no no! No. No!

Will seemed adamant to not make it a big thing.

by **Will Stanton** » Sat Jun 27, 2015 3:04 am

I apologize for making things awkward. I wish I were a telepath; I would have known and avoided this the necklace thought.

by **Samantha McManus** » Sat Jun 27, 2015 3:06 am

"It's not your fault, Will."

by **Will Stanton** » Sat Jun 27, 2015 3:11 am

I know. I just...don't like it when you're uncomfortable. I like it better when you're smiling.

by **Samantha McManus** » Sat Jun 27, 2015 3:28 am

"It's not like... I'm basically rubbish at this anyway, I guess."

by **Will Stanton** » Sat Jun 27, 2015 3:30 am

No! You were really nice to me and Onyx when you took us shopping, and you had a good eye for what worked. You were nice to me after the truth or dare game. You were nice to me when I showed up at the quad. You can't be rubbish at things.

by **Samantha McManus** » Sat Jun 27, 2015 3:30 am

"Everybody's rubbish at something, Will."

by **Miriam Bell** » Sat Jun 27, 2015 3:32 am

"It's true. Evidently what Sam is rubbish at is self-conscience."

by **Will Stanton** » Sat Jun 27, 2015 3:35 am

The necklace didn't like that. And was it Miriam's imagination, or did it get a little tighter?

Well, no. Why do you say you're rubbish at it?

by **Samantha McManus** » Sat Jun 27, 2015 3:37 am

"I just keep tripping over things, aye? It wasn't this hard before my mutation."

by **Will Stanton** » Sat Jun 27, 2015 3:41 am

You got clumsier because of your mutation? Is that because you end up at different sizes?

by **Miriam Bell** » Sat Jun 27, 2015 3:44 am

"It's a telepathy thing. You become... more aware of what other people think of you."

by **Samantha McManus** » Sat Jun 27, 2015 3:47 am

"I couldn't separate the two powers at first, either."

by **Will Stanton** » Sat Jun 27, 2015 3:52 am

So, you'd turn into what people were thinking about?

by **Samantha McManus** » Sat Jun 27, 2015 3:53 am

Sam nods quietly.

by **Will Stanton** » Sat Jun 27, 2015 3:57 am

Oh, Sam. I'm sorry; you...you probably thought that was horrible. You...didn't have a choice, did you?

by **Samantha McManus** » Sat Jun 27, 2015 3:57 am

"I told you before, Will. I had to learn how to be me again."

by **Will Stanton** » Sat Jun 27, 2015 3:59 am

I've never thought of it...

My head. That's always me. All the time. But if I was a telepath...I can only imagine. That's...that's not right. I'm sorry you had to go through that, Sam.

by **Miriam Bell** » Sat Jun 27, 2015 4:18 am

"It's rough. I can't imagine what it would be like it it changed your body along with it. Lord knows I've had some bad days that would have been significantly worse if I'd looked in the mirror and seen my si--my face changed into something else." she quickly corrects herself.

by **Samantha McManus** » Sat Jun 27, 2015 4:20 am

"And I don't know. What I put back together just feels... less, sometimes."

by **Will Stanton** » Sat Jun 27, 2015 4:22 am

This is the only you we've known. I like this you. I hope you like this you, too. But if you ever need any help picking up pieces, or trying to figure out who ~you~ want to be, I'm willing to do whatever it takes for you.

by **Samantha McManus** » Sat Jun 27, 2015 4:31 am

"Well I shouldn't..."

"...people have it worse than me. I know that much."

by **Will Stanton** » Sat Jun 27, 2015 4:33 am

You can't do that. If that was true, then only the worst guy in the world could complain! Someone in a barrel of nuclear waste that was on fire or something.

Just because things can be ~worse~ doesn't mean things can't be ~better~, Sam. We want things to be perfect.

by **Miriam Bell** » Sat Jun 27, 2015 4:36 am

"The necklace has a point, Sam."

by **Samantha McManus** » Sat Jun 27, 2015 4:37 am

"The necklace is a bunch of round things," she says, smirking faintly at the pun.

by **Miriam Bell** » Sat Jun 27, 2015 4:41 am

Miriam lets out an overly dramatic groan. "You know damn well what I mean." she chuckles.

by **Will Stanton** » Sat Jun 27, 2015 4:48 am

She is right, though.

by **Samantha McManus** » Sat Jun 27, 2015 4:50 am

"I'm just trying to break out of this stupid moping."

by **Will Stanton** » Sat Jun 27, 2015 4:54 am

That's the spirit!

by **Miriam Bell** » Sat Jun 27, 2015 4:55 am

"If bad puns are what it takes..." she chuckles.

by **Samantha McManus** » Sat Jun 27, 2015 4:57 am

"It's important to know your audience."

by **Will Stanton** » Sat Jun 27, 2015 5:05 am

Puns are good? I was right, you telepaths ~are~ weird

by **Miriam Bell** » Sat Jun 27, 2015 5:07 am

"No no, puns are bad by design."

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Jun 29, 2015 7:43 pm

"Just came to mind with how literal-minded... and bodied... Will can be."
