I2DT - Solitary Sulking

by **Miriam Bell** » Fri Jan 08, 2016 7:30 pm

Miriam has been doing her best to avoid most people, only coming and going when she's least likely to run into anybody, especially Sam and Will. Being a telepath makes is pretty easy to wait until the hallways are clear, but the morning after her talk with Haley she's too tired and distracted to make sure she's not running into anybody as she steps out into the hallway.

Sam is going down the hallway as Miriam comes out.

"Oh ah... hello there, Miriam," she says awkwardly.

by **Miriam Bell** » Fri Jan 08, 2016 7:44 pm

She doesn't glare, but her face definitely pulls into bit of a frown at the sight of Sam. Fantastic. Just what I needed.

"Good morning, Sam." she says, trying to sound polite but just coming across as cold.

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Jan 08, 2016 7:45 pm

"...been awhile, aye?"

by **Miriam Bell** » Fri Jan 08, 2016 7:50 pm

"Sheer coincidence, I'm sure. I'm guessing Will filled you in on what happened."

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Jan 08, 2016 7:51 pm

"In ah... unnecessarily detail," she says, flushing slightly.

by **Miriam Bell** » Fri Jan 08, 2016 8:41 pm

"Fantastic. Well, if you want to rub my screw-ups in my face make it quick so I can get in the shower."

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Jan 08, 2016 8:44 pm

"I wasn't... planning to? I mean, I was rather cross with you when you attacked me, but..."

by **Miriam Bell** » Fri Jan 08, 2016 8:49 pm

"You attacked my friend."

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Jan 08, 2016 8:49 pm

"She was leading my roommate out in handcuffs, Miriam."

by **Miriam Bell** » Fri Jan 08, 2016 9:00 pm

"It was the middle of the bloody night, people were fighting outside and suddenly there's bloody birds everywhere. Not the time to question my so-called friends."

You know you're a good judge of character, yet you still sided with Trinity. What does that say about you? she silently scolds herself before slamming the lid down on her inner monologue.

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Jan 08, 2016 9:02 pm

"Look, I don't... I don't want to have this fight all over again. I've just gotten back from dealing with the people Trinity tried to sell my roommate to."

by **Miriam Bell** » Fri Jan 08, 2016 9:07 pm

"Then what do you want, Sam? Because I'm not even trying to pay attention but your mind is rattling in it's cage at me."

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Jan 08, 2016 9:09 pm

"I've been... restless, okay?"

by **Miriam Bell** » Fri Jan 08, 2016 9:13 pm

"Well try to keep it locked up better. I have enough crap to deal with in my own head."

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Jan 08, 2016 9:15 pm

"I guess that means... we still have to put off helping Will."

by **Miriam Bell** » Fri Jan 08, 2016 9:27 pm

"I'm not helping you unlock more of that. It got sealed away for a reason." she snaps probably a tad too harshly.

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Jan 08, 2016 9:28 pm

"He's incomplete right now."

by **Miriam Bell** » Fri Jan 08, 2016 9:35 pm

"And what is he going to be when he's 'complete'?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Jan 08, 2016 9:39 pm

"Himself. What, are we supposed to be judging him? We already let part of it out."

by **Miriam Bell** » Fri Jan 08, 2016 9:40 pm

"And if you make a mistake you just keep going anyway?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Jan 08, 2016 9:59 pm

"We can't very well put the first bit back in."

by **Miriam Bell** » Fri Jan 08, 2016 10:07 pm

"Well officer, I'd stabbed him and some of the blood had already gotten out, so I figured..."

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Jan 08, 2016 10:10 pm

She sighs.

"You know what? Forget it."

by **Miriam Bell** » Fri Jan 08, 2016 10:18 pm

"I saw what's in there. Trust me, it's better if you just leave it alone."

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Jan 08, 2016 10:19 pm

"I got involved in this because of what you told me. I'm not going to try anything without you."

by **Miriam Bell** » Fri Jan 08, 2016 11:37 pm

"Good. Because I'm not going to help you."

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Jan 08, 2016 11:40 pm

"I didn't suppose you were going to pick now to start making things easy for me anyway."

by **Miriam Bell** » Fri Jan 08, 2016 11:52 pm

"I'm not trying to make this hard on you."

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Jan 08, 2016 11:54 pm

"Then what's... what's this, then? What's us? Because it seems we never talk unless you've decided I've done something wrong."

by **Miriam Bell** » Sat Jan 09, 2016 12:11 am

"I don't know, Sam but believe it or not, I don't enjoy fighting with you. Maybe I just can't help but alienate everyone around me."

by **Samantha McManus** » Sat Jan 09, 2016 12:12 am

"Don't... don't turn it around like that."

by **Miriam Bell** » Sat Jan 09, 2016 12:32 am

"I'm not turning anything around. I don't get along with people. I see too much of the shit that's supposed to stay hidden and eventually everyone leaves. And if you open that chest in Will's head he's not just going to leave, he's going to hate me."

by **Samantha McManus** » Sat Jan 09, 2016 12:34 am

"But can't you see how bloody manipulative saying that is? What's my response to be? What are we, your only friends now?"

"That's like bloody blackmail."

"I don't want to fight with you either, but I can't see this damned minefield."

by **Miriam Bell** » Sat Jan 09, 2016 12:54 am

"I don't want your pity. But yeah, how manipulative of me to not want to lose a friend. But that's what people see when they look at me, isn't it?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Sat Jan 09, 2016 12:59 am

"I don't know. Do you even let anyone here really get to know you?"

by **Miriam Bell** » Sat Jan 09, 2016 1:02 am

"I'm sorry I don't wear my heart on my sleeve."

by **Samantha McManus** » Sat Jan 09, 2016 1:03 am

"That's not the bloody point. Is it easier this way? Don't give them a chance to know, so you don't have to care what they think?"

by **Miriam Bell** » Sat Jan 09, 2016 1:19 am

"Damn right it's easier. It's bloody hard not to care when it's right there."

by **Samantha McManus** » Sat Jan 09, 2016 1:22 am

"You think I don't know that?"
