I2 - Eye of the Beholder ((open))

by **Miriam Bell** » Wed Sep 02, 2015 6:24 pm

Miriam is sitting at one of the small coffee tables in the XUB, people-watching and occasionally stopping to draw things on a small sketching pad.

Spotting someone she knows and at least can talk to, Sam makes her way over to Miriam's table.

"How goes it?"

by **Miriam Bell** » Wed Sep 02, 2015 7:33 pm

"Alright, I suppose. How's Milady the Goddess?" Miriam smirks at her.

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Sep 02, 2015 7:36 pm

"You're never going to let me live that down, are you?" She chuckles wearily, taking a seat.

by **Miriam Bell** » Wed Sep 02, 2015 7:51 pm

"Probably not, no. Speaking of which, there's rumors that pixies are responsible for all this nonsense lately. Any comment from the Phantom Queen?" she grins, holding her pencil out at Sam as if it was a microphone.

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Sep 02, 2015 7:52 pm

"Apparently that doesn't count for much when you get doused in pixie dust and start falling the opposite direction."

by **Miriam Bell** » Wed Sep 02, 2015 7:56 pm

"Ah yes, that covers my follow-up question of whether you're responsible for this, I suppose. Can I take that as confirmation that there are indeed pixies about then?" she goes on, still not dropping the reporter act. It's hard to tell whether she's taking this seriously or thinks Sam is just bullshitting her.

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Sep 02, 2015 8:01 pm

"Nailah claimed she saw one. I just got a faceful of dust and weird shite happened."

by **Miriam Bell** » Wed Sep 02, 2015 8:03 pm

"And naturally the conclusion to that must be magic. But seriously, are you buying into that whole Morrigan thing?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Sep 02, 2015 8:21 pm

"I don't know what I'm buying into. I talked with the guidance counselor about it, and that was weird too."

by **Miriam Bell** » Wed Sep 02, 2015 8:27 pm

"Weird how? Did she buy into it?" she chuckles.

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Sep 02, 2015 8:29 pm

"I guess? She's got some sort of occult research hobby. Her office looks like she ought to be hosting B-movie marathons."

by **Miriam Bell** » Wed Sep 02, 2015 8:37 pm

"Wait, seriously? That's kinda strange."

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Sep 02, 2015 8:44 pm

"I guess everybody needs something that interests them. Not that strange when we've got a fairy princess down the hall."

by **Miriam Bell** » Wed Sep 02, 2015 8:59 pm

"Oh come, really? She just wandered in from the renfair, not Avalon or whatever."

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Sep 02, 2015 9:00 pm

"You want to try telling her that? Be my guest."

by **Miriam Bell** » Wed Sep 02, 2015 9:17 pm

"Hey, not my place to burst somebody's bubble. Besides, I'm not in the business of upsetting people who own a sword."

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Sep 02, 2015 9:29 pm

"So that was my mistake. I ought to save up," she smirks.

by **Miriam Bell** » Wed Sep 02, 2015 11:27 pm

"Oh it's too late now. I already know you're kind of a sap." she teases.

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Sep 03, 2015 12:41 am

"See, you say that like you're encouraging me to exact vengeance."

by **Miriam Bell** » Thu Sep 03, 2015 2:25 am

"Do I look that suicidal? I don't want to be anywhere near if or when you snap." she smirks.

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Sep 03, 2015 5:59 am

"Well I haven't really gotten any complaints."

by **Miriam Bell** » Thu Sep 03, 2015 2:38 pm

"Did you make her go 'Oh goddess!'." she fake-gasps out. "Or is that something that has to happen naturally?" she grins.

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Sep 03, 2015 3:45 pm

"There weren't... a lot of words."

"...anyway, I think we can agree Viv is odd."

by **Miriam Bell** » Thu Sep 03, 2015 4:04 pm

"Yes, which is why we've moved on to a more interesting topic." she chuckles, clearly enjoying herself. "Did you shift so you could compete with her height?" At this point she's just trying to see if she can make the color of Sam's face match her hair.

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Sep 03, 2015 6:59 pm

"I wouldn't say 'compete' really..." She says, a blush creeping in.

by **Miriam Bell** » Thu Sep 03, 2015 7:06 pm

"You do realize it's allowed to not be embarrassed about enjoying these things, right?" she teases.

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Sep 03, 2015 8:44 pm

"It's just... kind of new, aye?"

by **Miriam Bell** » Thu Sep 03, 2015 8:56 pm

"Come on, even Muir wasn't that isolated. Is this seriously the first time you've had the hots for someone?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Sep 03, 2015 9:06 pm

"No, but it's the first time I've been this... forward about it."

by **Miriam Bell** » Thu Sep 03, 2015 9:11 pm

"And by that you mean act on it at all?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Sep 03, 2015 9:33 pm

"I'd... about mustered holding hands, mostly."

by **Miriam Bell** » Thu Sep 03, 2015 9:41 pm

"Little behind the curve, huh. So, enjoyed yourself enough to meet her again?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Sep 03, 2015 9:44 pm

"We... did kind of agree we'd like to do it again."

"...often."

by **Miriam Bell** » Thu Sep 03, 2015 10:53 pm

"Gotten a taste for it now, have we?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Sep 03, 2015 11:34 pm

"...maybe. Intense, but... a good kind of intense."

by **Miriam Bell** » Thu Sep 03, 2015 11:46 pm

"Sounds like you're coming around on the strangeness compared to the other day."

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Sep 04, 2015 1:05 am

"I've had more time to warm up to it, aye?"

by **Miriam Bell** » Fri Sep 04, 2015 1:22 am

"Well yeah but it could have gone the other way too."

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Sep 04, 2015 2:22 am

"I'm trying not to freak out."
