Sept 5th - Outside the Party

by **Miriam Bell** » Sat Jun 13, 2015 7:33 pm

After slipping out of the common room Miriam looks around, trying to see if she can figure out where Will went,

The door to Will's room seemed slightly ajar, so that was the most likely place.

by **Miriam Bell** » Sat Jun 13, 2015 7:38 pm

She knocks on the slightly ajar door before pushing it open.

"Will?"

by **Will Stanton** » Sat Jun 13, 2015 7:44 pm

Will was sitting on his bed, and quickly stood up when Miriam entered.

"Miriam! What can I do for you?"

by **Miriam Bell** » Sat Jun 13, 2015 7:48 pm

"Is everything alright? You kind of left all of a sudden."

by **Will Stanton** » Sat Jun 13, 2015 7:49 pm

"Me? Oh, everything's fine," he lied. "How are you?"

by **Miriam Bell** » Sat Jun 13, 2015 7:51 pm

"So fine, you ran off to your room."

by **Will Stanton** » Sat Jun 13, 2015 7:51 pm

"It's where I'm stored when not in use. It's just tidying up."

by **Miriam Bell** » Sat Jun 13, 2015 7:56 pm

"Really? Because it seemed like you got embarrassed when Miss Morality got her panties in a bunch over beer."

by **Will Stanton** » Sat Jun 13, 2015 7:57 pm

"Hey! Don't call her that!" Will said, taking a step back.

by **Miriam Bell** » Sat Jun 13, 2015 8:00 pm

"Why not? She is kind of uptight."

by **Will Stanton** » Sat Jun 13, 2015 8:01 pm

"She is not. She's probably 100% right."

by **Miriam Bell** » Sat Jun 13, 2015 8:05 pm

"Why? Because she's a shapeshifter?"

by **Will Stanton** » Sat Jun 13, 2015 8:07 pm

"Maybe that's part of it! She's smart about things."

by **Miriam Bell** » Sat Jun 13, 2015 8:11 pm

"She's just opinionated. She can't even shift like you do. Or maybe she can and she just thinks she can't, but the point is, how come she knows best when she's still stuck on 'requiring bones'?"

by **Will Stanton** » Sat Jun 13, 2015 8:12 pm

"I don't know! I just feel...

...I feel like she knows what she's talking about, and that I should listen to her. We're the same, don't you see?"

by **Miriam Bell** » Sat Jun 13, 2015 8:18 pm

"Even if you are the same, that doesn't mean she knows what's right. Who's to say she shouldn't listen to you?"

by **Will Stanton** » Sat Jun 13, 2015 8:19 pm

"Because...because....

I don't know why, but that feels wrong!"

by **Miriam Bell** » Sat Jun 13, 2015 8:28 pm

"That's ridiculous. She's got her own issues or they wouldn't have had her up at Muir with me and the other basket cases."

by **Will Stanton** » Sat Jun 13, 2015 8:29 pm

"I don't know why she was at Muir, and that's her decision whether to talk about it or not. I just know that I feel more comfortable when I'm around her, and I'm mortified I disgusted her earlier, alright?"

by **Miriam Bell** » Sat Jun 13, 2015 8:32 pm

Miriam shakes her head. "Then maybe you should be talking to her instead of hiding in here." she says. She's not trying to make it an order, but she's annoyed and her control is slipping, so she accidentally puts more mental pressure behind her words than she intents to.

by **Will Stanton** » Sat Jun 13, 2015 8:36 pm

"She doesn't want me out there," Will said. "I'll have to wait until she's back in her room tonight," he mused.

by **Miriam Bell** » Sat Jun 13, 2015 8:40 pm

"Fine. But her wish doesn't have to be your command, you know."

by **Will Stanton** » Sat Jun 13, 2015 8:41 pm

"No, it doesn't have to be..." he hesitated.

"But...I don't...like to see people upset. I don't like it when I make people unhappy. I don't know what I'm supposed to do, but I don't think it's make people unhappy."

by **Miriam Bell** » Sat Jun 13, 2015 8:44 pm

"Probably not, but you didn't make Haley unhappy and that's whose opinion really counts in this, isn't it?"

by **Will Stanton** » Sat Jun 13, 2015 8:46 pm

"Why does her opinion count for more? Just because I got her drunk?" he asked, honestly.

by **Miriam Bell** » Sat Jun 13, 2015 8:58 pm

"Because she was the one using you. It's her consent that counts, not Sam's."

by **Will Stanton** » Sat Jun 13, 2015 9:00 pm

"But it grossed out Sam, and Molly, and other people probably, as well. Their opinions count, too."

by **Miriam Bell** » Sat Jun 13, 2015 9:30 pm

"It grossed them out because they're prudes. Haley was chugging something that you 'made' from your hose and because they're horribly immature they can't handle things that could possibly be seen as sexual. It was kind of funny to watch her freak out over it."

by **Will Stanton** » Sat Jun 13, 2015 9:31 pm

"I...don't get how that's sexual?" Will said, now utterly confused. "I was just some plastic."

by **Miriam Bell** » Sat Jun 13, 2015 9:34 pm

"Never mind that, it'd take too long to explain. The point is, it was their immaturity that made them uncomfortable, not anything you did."

by **Will Stanton** » Sat Jun 13, 2015 9:38 pm

"It was still at a party where they were supposed to be happy. By doing things, I ruined the party for them."

by **Miriam Bell** » Sat Jun 13, 2015 9:40 pm

"Pretty sure the party is still going on. It was when I left."

by **Will Stanton** » Sat Jun 13, 2015 9:42 pm

"Yes, because I tidied up and went back into storage. I'm helping!"

by **Miriam Bell** » Sat Jun 13, 2015 9:57 pm

"Usually you don't tidy up until after the party. Would you like to come back in disguise? You could see how no one is angry yourself."

by **Will Stanton** » Sat Jun 13, 2015 9:59 pm

"That's exactly what Sam and Molly complained about!" Will protested. "People needing to know what's really going on."

by **Miriam Bell** » Sat Jun 13, 2015 10:03 pm

"Yes, because everyone else is always upfront about everything they do." she rolls her eyes.

by **Will Stanton** » Sat Jun 13, 2015 10:08 pm

"Shouldn't I be?"

by **Miriam Bell** » Sat Jun 13, 2015 10:12 pm

"I think you need to figure out when you should be and when you don't have to be. Everyone has to figure that out at some point."

by **Will Stanton** » Sat Jun 13, 2015 10:16 pm

Miriam's force of personality (and telepathic ability) nearly forced Will to nod. "I'll need to think about that, Miriam."
