The Chase is Better Than the Catch

"Don't I know it," Will said, perhaps being more literal than most. "It's all tradeoffs."

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Jan 20, 2016 4:27 am

Sam blinks, snuffling around.

"...where'd you put my clothes?"

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Jan 20, 2016 4:30 am

"Dropped 'em bout 30 feet over that way," she gestured, sitting up. "Shame. The thought of you sneakin' through campus without them is amusing."

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Jan 20, 2016 4:45 am

"I'm covered!" She protests.

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Jan 20, 2016 4:57 am

"Mostly," Will teased. "I'm sure I could see you going to calculus wearing just that."

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Jan 20, 2016 5:21 pm

"I am perfectly capable of maths like this."

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Jan 20, 2016 6:27 pm

"Oh? Then you wouldn't mind if I just took your clothes back to campus with me. Maybe I can get to know them better, make sure you're treating 'em right," Will teased.

"You're not going to win this game of chicken..."

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Jan 20, 2016 7:55 pm

"We'll see," she smiled, standing up and slowly strolling over to where she had dropped Sam's outer garments.

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Jan 20, 2016 7:57 pm

"I'll do it," she insists, hefting her bulk back up as she stands.

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Jan 20, 2016 10:46 pm

"Don't let me stop you!" Will giggled.

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Jan 20, 2016 11:40 pm

Sam gives Will a golden glare of determination, and starts walking back towards the edge of the woods.

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Jan 20, 2016 11:41 pm

Will, grinning, skipped along behind her, putting on Sam's jacket for size.

"This is really warm!" she laughed.

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Jan 20, 2016 11:47 pm

"So's this," she says, holding up a pinch of fur with a huff.

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Jan 20, 2016 11:58 pm

"Really? Lemme see," Will smiled, walking up next to her and leaning into her some as they walked.

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Jan 21, 2016 4:28 am

Sam is about as warm as one might expect a creature adapted to the Russian wilderness to be, after a mad dash through the woods. That is to say, very.

"No double-dipping," she scolds Will.

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Jan 21, 2016 6:18 am

"You are no fun," Will mock-pouted.

She reached down to absent-mindedly rub the gash on what was now her ankle. "Well, ALMOST no fun," she had to admit.

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Jan 21, 2016 6:16 pm

"I didn't mean to hurt you. Heat of the moment?"

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Jan 21, 2016 6:55 pm

"No, no, it's all good. If I'ma gonna be taunting you, I need to take what's coming to me," she smiled.

"Besides, I enjoyed myself. I rarely get to let loose like that."

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Jan 21, 2016 10:16 pm

"...aye. It was... pleasant."

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Jan 21, 2016 11:54 pm

"Any time you want to stretch your legs and you need something smarter than a rock to stalk, you know where I'm stored."

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Jan 21, 2016 11:56 pm

"Well I don't know, you move around a bit more of late," she says, pointing a clawed finger towards the treetops.

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Jan 22, 2016 12:25 am

"...that IS true," she said, a little guiltily. "I don't know, I've been feeling cooped up and locked away. So much energy to burn through."

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Jan 22, 2016 12:45 am

"It's not a complaint. I'm not your mum, Will."

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Jan 22, 2016 1:19 am

"I do know that," she sheepishly grinned. "I just tell everyone that they know where to find me, and then I don't stay there. That's not good."

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Jan 22, 2016 1:28 am

"You could get a phone," she points out.

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Jan 22, 2016 2:00 am

"Easy to lose when you're shifting.

Haven't you ever lost something going from form to form?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Jan 25, 2016 7:30 pm

"...well that's obvious, aye?" She gestures to her clothes.

by **Will Stanton** » Mon Jan 25, 2016 7:59 pm

"Point taken.

I mean, you have MY number, right?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Jan 25, 2016 8:35 pm

"You're just self-conscious that it'd look weird for a cell phone to be strapped to a lamp."

by **Will Stanton** » Mon Jan 25, 2016 10:41 pm

"That's just utterly ridiculous.

I just need to remember to shift into the phone more often and get someone to check my messages."

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Jan 26, 2016 3:02 am

"...but you'd only be able to receive messages while you're a phone, aye?"

by **Will Stanton** » Tue Jan 26, 2016 3:17 am

"Yeah. Otherwise it goes to voicemail."

...That....that doesn't make sense...

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Jan 26, 2016 4:51 am

"...no, I mean you don't have any phone bits to take the voicemail."

by **Will Stanton** » Tue Jan 26, 2016 6:11 am

"Oh, don't worry about that. The messages get there when I shift back into a phone. It all works out," Will nodded, sure of his knowledge of the world working.

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Jan 26, 2016 6:30 pm

"...I feel like the headmistress tried to explain this to you and you didn't quite get it all."

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Jan 28, 2016 5:12 am

"The headmistress can go jump into a lake, for all I care," she growled a little bit.

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Jan 28, 2016 6:56 pm

"Oh come on, I'm sure she means well."

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Jan 29, 2016 11:44 pm

"Yeah, she's got a funny way of showing it, you know what I'm saying?

I guess I'm still a little chuffed from that whole 'you're not from around here' thing she was trying to lay on me the other day."

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Feb 01, 2016 7:30 pm

"There's still a lot that we don't know, Will. Stuff that maybe you don't even know about yourself."
