Come and Knock On Our Door, We've Been Waiting For You

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Mar 08, 2017 8:52 pm

Will waved and smiled at people as she came back to her dorm room. It's odd; had it really been so long since she was last here? It's odd what can and can't feel like home at various times. Either way, she was looking forward to a little alone time in her room, slipping her hand into the lock and twisting it open.

Except instead of a nice, empty, bare room Will is faced with a mountain of boxes on her side of the room, meticulously shoved there by, presumably, the grey, impish-looking girl lieing on the other bed with an open book literally on her face that she's clearly not reading. When the door opens she shoots up with a start, sending the book flying to the ground. "Who-what's-Who are you!?" she asks, still shaking off the confusion of being woken from a nap.

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Mar 08, 2017 9:02 pm

"Um." Will blinked.

"...Hello? Did I miss a memo of some description? Or are you supposed to be Goldilocks, and found my bed to be just right?"

by **Shari** » Wed Mar 08, 2017 9:21 pm

"Uh... hi. Pretty sure this is my dorm room..." she says, with just a tinge of doubt in her voice. At least she's reasonably certain Cam put her in the system as having this room.

"This is the boys wing of the dorm," she said. "I don't think they would have assigned you this room? I guess?" she said, confused.

by **Shari** » Wed Mar 08, 2017 9:29 pm

"Uhm, hello? A, have you looked in a mirror recently? And b if that is seriously the problem then I can fix that." she says, her voice dropping as she speaks while growing a beard that even lumberjacks would find ridiculous. The rest of her body and face stays proportioned as it was, which makes it looks rather silly. "I can fix the rest too but it's gonna take a moment," Shari informs him in a Morgan Freeman-esque voice.

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Mar 08, 2017 9:31 pm

"Ah, well, that WOULD explain it. I guess they dumped the shifters together.

Will. Will Stanton," she said, going to shake Shari's hand.

by **Shari** » Wed Mar 08, 2017 10:01 pm

The beard disappears into her face again and her voice switches back to 'normal'.

"Shari." then after a moment she adds "Just Shari."

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Mar 08, 2017 10:14 pm

"Fair enough.

You have....a lot of stuff."

by **Shari** » Wed Mar 08, 2017 10:16 pm

"Oh I'm just holding on to that for somebody, since there was a bunch of room in here. I can clear out some room for you to move in though."

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Mar 08, 2017 10:19 pm

"Heh, move in? I'm moved in -- I've been here for a while. I just was...missing for a bit, that's all."

by **Shari** » Wed Mar 08, 2017 10:20 pm

"Then where's all your stuff? I swear if Cam threw it out when he shoved those boxes in here..."

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Mar 08, 2017 10:22 pm

"I don't have much. Really, not much of anything -- I never really felt I needed it. I came here with just the clothes on my back."

by **Shari** » Wed Mar 08, 2017 10:28 pm

"Hey, that's cool. All my stuff fits in a backpack. I dunno, just feels right to know I can take all my stuff with me if I gotta."

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Mar 08, 2017 10:32 pm

"It's not quite like that for me -- I can just duplicate what I need so easily that it's silly to carry around things that do the same thing."

by **Shari** » Wed Mar 08, 2017 10:33 pm

"Well that's just cheating." she chuckles.

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Mar 08, 2017 10:48 pm

"I call it years of experience, but po-TAY-to, po-TAH-to."

by **Shari** » Wed Mar 08, 2017 11:18 pm

"Must be pretty convenient. I still don't even have a phone."

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Mar 08, 2017 11:19 pm

Will laughed, but then put one head to her temple, briefly.

"Mm. I'm sure....I'm sure someone can hook you up with one..." she said, a little distracted.

by **Shari** » Wed Mar 08, 2017 11:20 pm

"Yeah, but if I ask Cam for one it probably comes with a self-destruct button."

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Mar 08, 2017 11:23 pm

"That's the short guy from the science teams, right? Odd duck."

by **Shari** » Wed Mar 08, 2017 11:32 pm

"He's got some... peculiarities alright."

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Mar 08, 2017 11:35 pm

"Tried to turn me into a cup of coffee, which, I mean, buy me dinner, first," she joked, recycling her joke from earlier -- hey, if it's new to Shari, it's as good as new, right?

by **Shari** » Wed Mar 08, 2017 11:41 pm

"You can turn into a cup of coffee? Like, with actual coffee and everything?"

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Mar 08, 2017 11:46 pm

"Oh yeah, the whole she-bang. I just got back from being turned into fat and mixed into a printing press. Might be a story on the news about some mysterious mutants robbing a train filled with new banknotes -- that was me," she shrugged. "I'm pretty flexible, all things considered."

by **Shari** » Thu Mar 09, 2017 12:47 am

"Usually when people say 'That was me' they don't mean the thing that was stolen!" she laughs. "But damn, that's impressive... So many individual parts..."

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Mar 09, 2017 12:49 am

"It took me a while to figure out how to do it too. If that's what you're aiming for, don't worry; you're in the right place.

I do have a several billion year head start on you, though."

by **Shari** » Thu Mar 09, 2017 2:02 am

"Not sure I got that much time to spend on that." she chuckles, clearly thinking this is some kind of joke.

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Mar 09, 2017 2:05 am

"I wouldn't recommend it. I went sort of crazy for a while.

Got better! Friends and faith'll do that. But definitely a little, y'know," she said, gesturing circles around her head. "Cuckoo, and I don't mean the clock."

by **Shari** » Thu Mar 09, 2017 2:12 am

"You're pulling my leg, right? No one's that old..."

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Mar 09, 2017 2:14 am

"Hi there, Shari, my name's "No One"," Will grinned.

by **Shari** » Thu Mar 09, 2017 2:15 am

"Har har, very funny. Even if you're shapeshifting away your age, that's ridiculous."

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Mar 09, 2017 2:18 am

"Hey, I've been called worse.

Like, alternate dimensional traveler, survivor of a black hole, champion of a Celtic god of sovereignty -- it's been a wild ride. And now I'm a college student. Again. Swings and roundabouts."

by **Shari** » Thu Mar 09, 2017 2:22 am

"That seems like a significant step down, if you ask me." she laughs. "Damn. What are you even going to class for now?"

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Mar 09, 2017 2:27 am

"I'm...not entirely sure. I was enrolled here before my memories returned. I also need to hang around; this was my home. It's where She'll look for me, I would think.

And you'd be surprised what's different -- things I remember one way didn't happen that way here. History, especially, as well as different people. And it's not like I majored in everything; it's a chance to learn more. Learning is usually useful."

by **Shari** » Thu Mar 09, 2017 6:22 am

"Huh... You lost your memories? How'd you get them back?"

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Mar 09, 2017 6:25 am

"Would you believe I stored them in my head, locked for a specific person, but the alternate dimensional counterpart of that person was able to go inside and pry them open before they were ready to be revealed?

Because I'm not sure I believe that at times. My life is strange."

by **Shari** » Thu Mar 09, 2017 6:44 am

"Okay, there's no way I could possibly know, but I know it's not that one."

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Mar 09, 2017 6:47 am

"...OK, let me introduce you to my friends 'context', and 'letting people know what the hell you're talking about'.

They're good friends."

by **Shari** » Thu Mar 09, 2017 6:54 am

"Oh! Uhm... I got a similar thing going on. I think? I mean obviously not because your thing is crazy, but I lost my memory too a while ago."
