Checking In with the Owner

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Jul 02, 2015 3:52 am

"I'm not sure i follow. How should I keep it in mind? What should I do?"

by **Ashlie Minamida** » Thu Jul 02, 2015 4:04 am

"That's hard to say without knowing her better myself. But she could take it as an attempt to be intimate. If that's not how you intend it then you should make that clear to her. People often can feel very vulnerable about being intimate."

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Jul 02, 2015 4:12 am

"I should just say 'this isn't intimate'?"

by **Ashlie Minamida** » Thu Jul 02, 2015 4:39 am

"Unfortunately there are no hard rules for this. But a direct approach might be good to avoid confusion." she nods.

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Jul 02, 2015 4:42 am

"Well, yes but two things.

First of all, you didn't exactly think my shifting around you was an invitation for intimate relationships.

Secondly...she already has a girlfriend, so everything should be clear."

by **Ashlie Minamida** » Thu Jul 02, 2015 5:04 am

"You didn't ask me for hands-on assistance. Just be cautious with what you invite people to do."

"Miriam has no problems with using me," Will pointed out. "Why would Sam?"

by **Ashlie Minamida** » Thu Jul 02, 2015 5:20 am

"They're different people. They'll probably reacting differently."

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Jul 02, 2015 5:21 am

Will nodded. "I guess I'll just have to tell her not to think sexy thoughts about me."

by **Ashlie Minamida** » Thu Jul 02, 2015 5:30 am

"Just try to be honest." She was beginning to come to the conclusion that Will would just have to stumble through this on his own and fail a couple times before he figured it out. It's how she had done it, maybe it was something that had to be learned instead of taught.

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Jul 02, 2015 5:31 am

"I'm always honest!"

by **Ashlie Minamida** » Thu Jul 02, 2015 5:53 am

"Then that should be rather easy." she smiles.

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Jul 02, 2015 5:55 am

"Great! I like easy things.

Was there something else you wanted? I don't think you asked me here to ask about my new form, because you didn't know it existed yet, unless Alex already told you."

by **Ashlie Minamida** » Thu Jul 02, 2015 5:59 am

"No, I asked you here because you're technically classified as a metamorphic substance and that means I have to make regular notes about your material safety parameters. It's unnecessary and needlessly demeaning but I'm obligated to do it."

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Jul 02, 2015 6:19 am

"Well, I don't want you to feel demeaned unnecessarily."

by **Ashlie Minamida** » Thu Jul 02, 2015 2:28 pm

"Not for me, I'm not the one being evaluated for hazardous characteristics."

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Jul 02, 2015 6:20 pm

"Then what's the issue?"

by **Ashlie Minamida** » Thu Jul 02, 2015 6:24 pm

"Apparently there is none. During the last 30 days, have you turned into a combustible substance of any kind?"

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Jul 02, 2015 6:28 pm

Will thought. "Yes! QUite a few, actually."

by **Ashlie Minamida** » Thu Jul 02, 2015 6:36 pm

"How much and on how many occasions? You can just give me an estimate."

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Jul 02, 2015 6:37 pm

"Oh, boy, quite frequently. Bedding is flammable, right? And then I was some curtains and then the couch in the common room...I'd say quite a bit. I'm probably, like, super-flammable."

by **Ashlie Minamida** » Thu Jul 02, 2015 8:57 pm

"No no no. Stop. I mean flammable as defined by health and safety regulations. Gasoline, acetone, ethylene, those kinds of things. Not anything that could be set on fire."

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Jul 02, 2015 9:16 pm

"Oh. Not since I got here, but the day is young."

by **Ashlie Minamida** » Thu Jul 02, 2015 9:23 pm

"Then that's a no. Have you turned into any infectious agents, this includes matter viruses such as nano machines that replicate themselves?"

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Jul 02, 2015 9:27 pm

"I don't think I can do that."

by **Ashlie Minamida** » Thu Jul 02, 2015 10:55 pm

"That's probably good. Have any students come to harm while handling you?"

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Jul 02, 2015 11:09 pm

"I'd never harm anyone!" she said, aghast.

by **Ashlie Minamida** » Thu Jul 02, 2015 11:13 pm

"Neither would I, which unfortunately is why I have to make sure. Have you ever involuntarily shifted as a reaction to something?"

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Jul 02, 2015 11:28 pm

"Well, yeah, but I'm usually good at avoiding them."

by **Ashlie Minamida** » Thu Jul 02, 2015 11:32 pm

"Usually. What circumstances are those?"

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Jul 02, 2015 11:46 pm

"Electrical shocks, mostly. To be fair, you'd go heywire too if you were hit with electricity."

by **Ashlie Minamida** » Thu Jul 02, 2015 11:50 pm

"Most things do. But most things don't have the capacity to turn into harmful substances."

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Jul 03, 2015 12:00 am

"I turn into helpful things," she reminded her, forcibly.

by **Ashlie Minamida** » Fri Jul 03, 2015 12:10 am

"Can you guarantee that you will only turn into something helpful when you're subjected to one of those triggers?" she asks, really hoping that she'll just say yes.

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Jul 03, 2015 12:17 am

"Well, no. I have no control then, but I usually just turn back into a blob of clay."

by **Ashlie Minamida** » Fri Jul 03, 2015 12:55 am

"And your base form is fairly benign from what I've been told." she nods.

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Jul 03, 2015 12:58 am

"It's never done me any harm!"

by **Ashlie Minamida** » Fri Jul 03, 2015 1:10 am

"Good. I'd really rather avoid having to run you through a bunch of tests to determine that you're safe to handle."

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Jul 03, 2015 1:14 am

"Alright, then. Was that all?"

by **Ashlie Minamida** » Fri Jul 03, 2015 1:50 am

"I suppose that is all then, yes."
