I2DT - Irish Icecapades

Tereza didn't have a ton of stuff, so it didn't take her long to move into Sam's room when the instructions to shuffle rooms came around. She was in the process of getting everything resettled, sticking stuff into new drawers and posting up pictures in the back of her desk.

"Now let's be clear here: your girlfriend is actually visible, aye?"

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Mon Oct 05, 2015 5:58 pm

"So far as I'm aware, she is not capable of invisibility," Tereza said with a chuckle. "She is quite weirded out by you though. At least that's my assessment. I don't know why."

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Oct 05, 2015 6:02 pm

"As long as I won't run any risk of finding you groping thin air, I think we can make this work."

"And I don't know. I guess I've got to deal with whatever's got her spooked sooner rather than later, now."

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Mon Oct 05, 2015 6:12 pm

"Well, it's not like there's a ton of reason to spend time in the room anyways, so take what time you need," Tereza said. "On the plus side, I don't have my head filled with all sorts of ghost-oriented thoughts, so you don't have to deal with those now."

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Oct 05, 2015 6:28 pm

"...so it's getting serious that quickly?"

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Mon Oct 05, 2015 6:36 pm

"I don't know that I'd classify it as serious. We're still trying to feel each other out." There was a brief pause, "And that sounded really bad and that's not what I meant. She's still figuring out where she fits and part of that involves me, but a lot of it doesn't, so I'm there when she wants me, but she's still figuring out 'modern'."

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Oct 05, 2015 6:55 pm

"Ah, and here I thought you were implying you'd be spending most of your time in her room," she smirks.

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Mon Oct 05, 2015 6:58 pm

Tereza stuck her tongue out at Sam, "Once we get to that point, maybe. She's certainly more comfortable in her room for reasons I shouldn't go into."

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Oct 05, 2015 7:28 pm

"And here I was all ready to crow for having pushed you to ask her out."

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Mon Oct 05, 2015 7:37 pm

"Well, we did go out to dinner, and it was really really nice," Tereza said. "It's definitely not my comfort zone."

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Oct 05, 2015 7:38 pm

"Well okay. That was a date for her. Perhaps a date for you, now?"

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Mon Oct 05, 2015 7:48 pm

"How do you mean?" Tereza looked a little confused.

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Oct 05, 2015 7:56 pm

"You said it was outside your comfort zone, aye?"

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Mon Oct 05, 2015 9:56 pm

"A little bit, but I managed, even succeeded I would guess."

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Oct 05, 2015 10:05 pm

"And it was nice and traditional. Formal, even. She liked that, aye?"

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Mon Oct 05, 2015 10:13 pm

"Seemed to. She's willing to keep going out with me at least."

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Oct 05, 2015 11:01 pm

"So that was one for a proper fairy princess who may or may not like that Italian place downtown. You showed you're willing to reach for her, aye?"

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Mon Oct 05, 2015 11:03 pm

"I suppose," Tereza said, moving over and flopping onto her bed. "And it was a Tandoori place."

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Oct 05, 2015 11:04 pm

"All I'm saying is see if she's willing to stretch in the other direction, or it's going to be a bit one-sided."

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Mon Oct 05, 2015 11:05 pm

"I suppose. I just need to figure out what that stretch would be. Cause you don't want to stretch too much right off the bat obviously."

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Oct 06, 2015 12:26 am

"Perhaps a pub? Like not the one you work at, obviously. Maybe... karaoke?"

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Tue Oct 06, 2015 12:35 am

"I thought we were wanting to stay in my comfort zone."

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Oct 06, 2015 7:52 pm

"What, the rock and roller doesn't sing?"

"I mean, karaoke is only singing in the loosest sense."

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Tue Oct 06, 2015 7:55 pm

"Liking the music and being conceited enough to think I can sing it are two different things. And you know how I react to looking like an idiot."

((In the middle of the night...))

The last thing Sam remembered was falling asleep in her bed. Now she was "awake", though something told she wasn't totally awake. The fact that she was in a long institutional style hallway probably was also a good indication that she wasn't awake. It didn't look like Muir, though there were elements of Muir in it. It was too dark and dingy for one. Then there was the dead silence that blanketed the hallway. No sound came from the rows of thick doors that ran the hallways length. Small sliding openings in each door could give someone on the outside a peek inside, but they were all closed. The lights seemed to be above each doorway, but only a handful of these were actually on.

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Oct 19, 2015 6:41 pm

Sam forces down a shudder as she sees her surroundings.

"Not where I want to be..."

She starts cautiously heading down the hallway, looking for a way out.

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Mon Oct 19, 2015 7:05 pm

As she walks down the hall, there's a loud buzzing noise and some of the lights go out and others turn on. There's also a heavy thunking noise as the locks on the doors cycle.

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Oct 19, 2015 7:08 pm

"Don't get spooked, just keep going. The last place I want to end up is in one of those rooms..."

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Mon Oct 19, 2015 7:17 pm

As she moves again, she sees a familiar figure sneaking down the hallway creeping from door-to-door. Tereza stops when she sees someone standing in the middle of the hallway and a short blade of ice appears in one of her hands.

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Oct 19, 2015 7:18 pm

"Whoah, whoah, hold up. It's just... me, you know?" She says softly, putting her hands up.

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Mon Oct 19, 2015 7:20 pm

Tereza looks at her confusedly, "<Sam, what are you doing here?>" She's speaking Russian, but in a weird twist of dream logic, Sam understands it perfectly.

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Oct 19, 2015 7:22 pm

"I don't... really know. This isn't Muir, is it?"

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Mon Oct 19, 2015 7:28 pm

"<Muir? The mutant... whatever? No.>" As she steps closer to look at Sam, the light in the hallway goes red and a siren starts wailing. "<Shit! Shit! Shit! This way!>" Tereza beckons, moving back down the hallway towards one of the doors. She opens it and motions for Sam to get inside.

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Oct 19, 2015 7:31 pm

"But those lock," she protests, following Tereza.

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Mon Oct 19, 2015 7:39 pm

"<But we shouldn't be out here,>" Tereza says, pulling the door almost shut behind them. The room might as well be a jail cell. A flimsy metal bed in one corner, a small desk bolted into one wall and a toilet in another corner. Out in the hallway, the rhythmic thud-thud-thud of several pairs of boots become obvious. Tereza looks around, "<Get under the bed,>" she hisses, which makes no sense as a hiding place, but still makes some sort of sense.

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Oct 19, 2015 9:38 pm

Sam scurries where Tereza indicates, and tries to broadcast out from her mind to avert attention from herself.

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Mon Oct 19, 2015 10:25 pm

Tereza stands to attention in the center of the room as the boots stop outside. The door opens and a severe looking woman steps into the room and looks around. She's dressed in a business suit of drab green. She stops and frowns at Tereza. She makes a motion and a man in a cross between military fatigues and hospital scrubs comes in and begins searching around the room. He looks under the bed, but looks right through Sam. "<227B, why was your door open,>" the woman asks.

"<It is malfunctioning,>" Tereza says deferentially. Without warning, the woman swings a hand back and slaps Tereza across the face.

"<In English,>" the woman says.

"It is malfunctioning," Tereza repeats in English this time.

The woman eyes her critically. "<Then I will send someone to...>" Her speech was cut short by the loud booming sound of an explosion somewhere else in the facility. The woman turned to look and Tereza struck, grabbing the woman and wrapping her arms around the woman's neck as ice rapidly coated the woman. The man lunged for her, but stopped short when his muscles stopped responding as a very familiar, though younger, set of triplets stepped through the door.

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Oct 19, 2015 10:33 pm

"...Jesus, Mary and Joseph," Sam murmurs, scrambling out from under the bed.

by **Tereza Rozanov** » Mon Oct 19, 2015 10:45 pm

"Come on," one of the triplets said, "We're getting you and some of the others out of this place."

"You have no idea how long I've been waiting to hear someone say that," Tereza said, motioning for Sam to follow. "Let's go."

The triplets and Tereza moved out into the hallway and off away from the sound of the explosion.
