Room 116: Getting Into Deep Sheet

Built on the Braddock Estate not far from the Manor, these were constructed for the university's benefit to help house the student population.

Room 116: Getting Into Deep Sheet

Postby Will Stanton » Mon Jun 19, 2017 10:08 pm

After some success -- and a smash upside the head -- the last time he hid in Sam and Tereza's room, Will was at it again.

His first attempt had taught him a couple things:

1) The thing he was replacing couldn't be left somewhere where people would find it. That was a dead giveaway
2) The best time to slip in was when they would be coming back after a long day; while he had gotten better at hiding his telepathic presence, if Sam was expecting him; he'd be toast. And not in a fun way.
3) Tereza was all bark and no bite, or else she would have used that screwdriver. He'd have to try to get her goat a little more. Were-wolf? More like were-chicken.

He'd have to remember that one; that one was pretty good, he chuckled to himself.


So, the game was afoot. Another electronic device? No, they may be expecting that, this time -- and while Sam hadn't fiddled for too long, apparently, there was a switch that caused his voice to override the sounds on the radio/speakers/whatever. That was probably psychosomatic -- a side-effect from being deprived communication for so long floating through space? Something to talk about with a therapist at some point. Either way, that was a dead giveaway.

Nail clippers had worked out fine, but again, that's something they might expect now, and who uses nail clippers regularly? No, no, he could get stuck in the drawer for weeks, and he had a party to go to with Shane. Sure, he could always shift back and walk out, but it's not really a victory if there's never a chance to be discovered, right?

It was cold outside, being December and all. Sam's apartment back in the DOWER house had had a nice fireplace, but dorm rooms don't get that luxury, so there wasn't a log or something he could easily replace. Something warming, however, might well be what the doctor ordered here -- though Tereza had her own fur coat, and Sam could as well, if'n she wanted, so the cold would effect them less than some others in the dorm.

Coffee machine? No guarantee they would use it before going out and about during the day. Similarly, a sweater or gloves or something could stay back in the closet for days, and he didn't have that time at the moment. A candle? Who uses candles for heat anymore; this wasn't Dickenzian England

So...

Will quickly stripped their bed, removing the blanket between the sheets and top comforter. He emptied their hamper, shoving the blanket all the way down to the bottom, and flopping any dirty clothes he could find on top of it -- after all, who digs deep into their laundry on a regular basis? Satisfied that it was well hidden -- though it made the hamper a little too full -- he returned to the bed, stretching his form out as he wrapped himself around the mattress, sliding up the comforter over his flattening and vanishing head as he did so. The perfect hiding spot!

...It was entirely possible he hadn't really thought this one all the way through.

Tereza barrels in, chasing Samantha with both of them splotched with snow. "Your resolve will crack. I know it will," she says with a grin.

The bed seemed to squeak a little tiny bit as Tereza flopped down onto it. Maybe they should call maintenance in the morning?

If it was one of those mesh, see-through hampers, they might catch a flash of blue, too bulky to be regular clothes, hidden away in the bottom. Then again, the bottom of the laundry basket may not be the bottoms that Sam and Tereza were particularly paying attention to at this point in time.

Eep!

In for a penny, in for a pound, Will wasn't exactly struggling to free herself from Tereza's grip. This had gone a bit further than his cunning plan had led him to believe, but swings and roundabouts and other British expressions.

Tereza's a little too distracted by her girlfriend to notice the difference in the blanket movement from their own movements, at least for the moment. She does, however, plant one hand on the corner of the blanket as she moves, effectively holding it in place.

Other than the "eep", Will's mind was pretty quiet -- though repeatedly quiet. Like repeating static or white noise, unless the ravens particularly honed in on the blanket in particular. The "speed" of the static had increased fairly dramatically, though, since Sam and Tereza had come over onto the bed. And underneath the static, if one cared to stop and listen, there was a faint sound of an old Irish song.

The flock starts to crowd in, focusing on the immediate area.

Over in Killarney, many years ago
Me mother sang a song to me in tones so soft and low
Just a simple little ditty in her good old Irish way
And I'd give the world if I could hear that song of hers today


Yeah, definitely a soft and soothing song in a lilting Irish accent beneath the static, occasionally dipping down even further underneath.

The voice was not immediately familiar, though it may be intended to bring up memories of home -- or like a song stuck in the back of her head for some reason. Songs stuck in the back of your head don't come from your blanket, though.
