There are Places I Remember...

"Something like that. You said that it seemed to respond to you, too..."

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Dec 04, 2015 4:51 am

"We only undid one of the locks. There's three."

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Dec 04, 2015 4:57 am

"Three? Shit..."

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Dec 04, 2015 5:14 am

"...yeah. And Miriam seemed... kind of scared of what was still in the box."

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Dec 04, 2015 5:21 am

"Is THAT why she's been acting weird lately? Because of something in my head?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Dec 04, 2015 5:52 am

"Damned if I know, but at the time it really seemed like it spooked her."

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Dec 04, 2015 6:43 am

"Well, did you see what it was? Do I have a monster inside my head?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Dec 04, 2015 6:48 am

"I was out there holding it open for her so she could get back out."

"The part we let out seemed... fairly harmless, aye? And it was probably the most unruly of the three that were guarding it."

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Dec 04, 2015 6:52 am

"I've felt a little different since then, of course..." Will mused.

((and this is where we grumble about Ten going AWOL, but whatever

))

"I don't know exactly if I can try and let the rest out without Miriam getting even more cross with me."

"And I think if she gets much more cross with me she'll have to invent new methods of being cross."

"THAT's probably true.

She IS rather inventive, though," he said, with a small, rueful chuckle. "Creative. I'm sure she'll come up with something."

by **Samantha McManus** » Sat Dec 05, 2015 8:54 pm

"I don't like letting things sit like that, aye?"

"With either of you."

by **Will Stanton** » Sun Dec 06, 2015 1:59 am

"So, what did you have in mind?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Dec 07, 2015 7:35 pm

"I don't know. I don't even know why she acted like she did. Tereza said she was undercover, but that's a bit much for undercover, you know?"

by **Will Stanton** » Mon Dec 07, 2015 8:04 pm

"Well, she was definitely under covers for part of it, but no--I don't think she was just spying."

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Dec 07, 2015 10:26 pm

"Okay yeah, I... really don't need all that much detail on Miriam's love life."

by **Will Stanton** » Mon Dec 07, 2015 10:31 pm

"Oh. Sorry. Squeamish?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Dec 07, 2015 10:32 pm

"There's just some things that should stay personal."

by **Will Stanton** » Mon Dec 07, 2015 10:58 pm

"If you say so. She didn't seem to embarrassed, but I understand," he lied.

"Still, that leaves us with 'what to do about Miriam'."

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Dec 07, 2015 10:59 pm

"...I guess we've got to suck it up and talk to her, eventually."

by **Will Stanton** » Mon Dec 07, 2015 11:03 pm

"Yeah.

Well, at least that's an easier problem to solve," he said, shutting off the tablet. "Talking is easy."

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Dec 07, 2015 11:11 pm

"And then, you know, we can get back to the business of helping you."

by **Will Stanton** » Mon Dec 07, 2015 11:12 pm

"I'm OK on the back burner," he nodded.

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Dec 07, 2015 11:17 pm

"Well you know, you deserve better than that."

by **Will Stanton** » Mon Dec 07, 2015 11:18 pm

"No no, I'm all good! Good things come to those who wait and all that, right? The longer the cooking, the more tender the meat."

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Dec 07, 2015 11:20 pm

"...that's kind of weird, because of what was written on the box."

by **Will Stanton** » Mon Dec 07, 2015 11:26 pm

"I'm not sure I follow."

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Dec 07, 2015 11:28 pm

"Something about cooking. Like the cook-fire of the Morrigan, or the cauldron of the Morrigan."

by **Will Stanton** » Tue Dec 08, 2015 12:11 am

"Hrm. The Morrigan, you say?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Dec 08, 2015 12:14 am

"Yeah. Hence... you know, the mistaken identity bit."

by **Will Stanton** » Tue Dec 08, 2015 12:23 am

"I'm not sure I follow. You mean, the Irish goddess Morrigan? Goddess of sovereignty and battle and death and all that?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Dec 08, 2015 12:30 am

"Well you know, my codename and all."

by **Will Stanton** » Tue Dec 08, 2015 12:42 am

"No, I don't know your code name. What is it?"

Man, that boy is pretty dense.

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Dec 08, 2015 4:22 am

"...Morrigan," she says, resting her chin in her hand.

by **Will Stanton** » Tue Dec 08, 2015 6:13 am

"...That's.

That's a hell of a coincidence, then? That you'd have a box in my head," he said, eyeing her carefully.

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Dec 08, 2015 6:34 am

"It's why the guardians of it think I'm someone I'm not, aye?"

by **Will Stanton** » Tue Dec 08, 2015 7:00 am

"Must be. Like...wearing the wrong nametag, right?" Will said, cautiously.

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Dec 08, 2015 7:05 am

"I mean, I didn't do this, Will. I'm not who they think I am. Obviously it's someone they trust, and I don't want to abuse that or anything. I just want to... it seems like it's stuff you'd miss if you knew what you were missing, you know?"

by **Will Stanton** » Tue Dec 08, 2015 7:22 am

"Yeah...yeah, of course, I'm sure that's it.

So...I probably freak you out, then?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Dec 08, 2015 7:43 am

"You're fine, Will."
