Re: Recuperating
Posted: Mon Oct 12, 2015 5:50 am"Antarctica. I can't be more specific--it's classified."
Re: Recuperating
Posted: Mon Oct 12, 2015 3:59 pm"Suppose that polar bears wouldn't care too much if you have tentacles or other odd extremities, eh?" Charles smiled. "Classified though, eh? People here all seem to have interesting life stories."

Re: Recuperating
Posted: Wed Oct 14, 2015 10:10 pm"Oh, so your parents were part of the military, eh?" Charles asked.
Re: Recuperating
Posted: Thu Oct 15, 2015 4:50 am"Oh, no. They found me down there, and I spent most of my time hiding at the base before they realized what I was."

Posted: Thu Oct 15, 2015 11:50 pm"You were what just frozen in the ice then you thawed out and played an epic game of hide and seek then, eh?" Charles asked unsure if he'd heard Will correctly.

Re: Recuperating
Posted: Sat Oct 17, 2015 9:57 pm"Sounds like fun," Charles smiled. "How'd they end up finding you out?"
Re: Recuperating
Posted: Sat Oct 17, 2015 11:49 pm"I kind of decided it might be time to say hi.
...They didn't respond well. They locked me up for a few years. Apparently, it's bad form to sneak around a secret government base."

Posted: Sun Oct 18, 2015 12:30 am"Ah, yeah I can see why they might get their things in a twist about that," Charles said, "Though you think you'd be happy to see a new face after a while, eh? I mean after being stuck in the arctic for so long and all.:
Re: Recuperating
Posted: Sun Oct 18, 2015 12:36 am"Oh, people came and went. There was always something new to be, and I had plenty of friends."
Re: Recuperating
Posted: Sun Oct 18, 2015 1:07 am"Friends?" Charles asked.
Re: Recuperating
Posted: Sun Oct 18, 2015 1:40 am"Oh yeah, plenty of stuff there. The other items in the break room, all the equipment in the labs, the network of computers...lots of interesting personalities."
Re: Recuperating
Posted: Sun Oct 18, 2015 1:48 am"Wait, what?" Charles asked.
Re: Recuperating
Posted: Sun Oct 18, 2015 1:51 am"Yeah, lots of friends. Very interesting lives! You learn a lot serving your country as a couch."
Re: Recuperating
Posted: Sun Oct 18, 2015 1:53 am"They would...talk to you?" Charles asked sounding a little perturbed.
Re: Recuperating
Posted: Sun Oct 18, 2015 2:09 am"Well, of course not. That would be crazy! Couches can't talk," Will laughed. "Silly."
"No, it's a different level of communication and stuff. Very zen."

Re: Recuperating
Posted: Sun Oct 18, 2015 2:11 am"Like you become one with the couch, eh?" Charles asked.
Re: Recuperating
Posted: Sun Oct 18, 2015 2:13 am"Well, I just WAS the couch. For six or seven years."
Re: Recuperating
Posted: Sun Oct 18, 2015 3:10 amSix or seven years?
"H-how'd you manage that?" Charles asked, "I mean being a couch for six years..."

Posted: Sun Oct 18, 2015 3:13 am"It's really quite interesting, actually. A very zen-like experience, if I understand zen correctly."
Re: Recuperating
Posted: Sun Oct 18, 2015 3:18 am"Wouldn't really know, eh," Charles said with a shrug. "Though I guess more monks should try being couches then, eh?"

Posted: Sun Oct 18, 2015 3:20 am"That was a good time.
Pac-Man was pretty interesting, as well. Really complex interactions with all the little ghosts, you know?"

Re: Recuperating
Posted: Sun Oct 18, 2015 3:42 am"Chameleon skin? That's really neat. I can't do anything like that.
So, you know, different strokes, right?"

Re: Recuperating
Posted: Mon Oct 19, 2015 8:23 pm"See, that sounds amazing. I can't do that. Flying must be incredible...a sense of freedom, yeah?"
