Re: Peanuts and a Pint, Hold the Peanuts
Posted: Fri Mar 02, 2018 7:43 pm"Well, you are some sort of dog. Maybe she picked up on that after you were in the simulation thing, somehow -- I mean, if she knew beforehand, she could have easily placed you in that position in the simulation, right? Like, Will, Sam, Sam and Sam's loyal mutt?"
Re: Peanuts and a Pint, Hold the Peanuts
Posted: Fri Mar 02, 2018 7:46 pm"Hmmm, maybe. She didn't exactly seem the most stable sort though." She frowns, "I'm thinking too hard about this. Bartender, vodka please."
Re: Peanuts and a Pint, Hold the Peanuts
Posted: Fri Mar 02, 2018 7:47 pm"Again, shows what she knows. Ear scritches would probably have kept you satisfied for quite some time," Will teased.
"Yeah. So, Sam as the breadwinner, me as the homemaker and you as doggo would have made much more sense. It's a good thing our villains are so stupid."

Re: Peanuts and a Pint, Hold the Peanuts
Posted: Fri Mar 02, 2018 8:19 pm"Honestly, I'm just relieved she didn't come to me when I realized what was going on. I might have...made a bad choice even worse."
Re: Peanuts and a Pint, Hold the Peanuts
Posted: Fri Mar 02, 2018 8:34 pm"You played along. I wasn't toeing the line on the script. Maybe was better in the long run."
Re: Peanuts and a Pint, Hold the Peanuts
Posted: Fri Mar 02, 2018 8:37 pm"Mmmm," Will said, unconvinced. "Yeah, maybe."
Re: Peanuts and a Pint, Hold the Peanuts
Posted: Fri Mar 02, 2018 8:55 pm"If she'd cracked down on you the way she did on myself and Isolde, there's no telling what would have happened. It was... super unpleasant for Isolde."

Posted: Sat Mar 03, 2018 3:16 am"I'll keep it in mind, comrade."
Re: Peanuts and a Pint, Hold the Peanuts
Posted: Sun Mar 04, 2018 1:41 pmShe chuckles, "I'm only sort of Russian, mostly freak science experiment. You want to talk to a real Russian, we could go see if my mom's still in town or if she got bored and took off."

Posted: Sun Mar 04, 2018 5:00 pm"I'm...not sure that would be wise."
Re: Peanuts and a Pint, Hold the Peanuts
Posted: Sun Mar 04, 2018 5:32 pmTereza raised an eyebrow as she looked at him, "Why? She's cool."
Re: Peanuts and a Pint, Hold the Peanuts
Posted: Sun Mar 04, 2018 7:20 pm"I'm expecting a certain level of defenestration?"
Re: Peanuts and a Pint, Hold the Peanuts
Posted: Sun Mar 04, 2018 7:30 pm"I'm not throwing her out of a window and she wouldn't do the same. She's... Well, it's complicated."
Re: Peanuts and a Pint, Hold the Peanuts
Posted: Sun Mar 04, 2018 7:32 pm"Yeah, I get complicated."
Re: Peanuts and a Pint, Hold the Peanuts
Posted: Sun Mar 04, 2018 10:45 pm"Turns out my sister and I were an attempt to reproduce her. So the woman I grew up with wasn't my biological mother. Like I said, it's complicated."
Re: Peanuts and a Pint, Hold the Peanuts
Posted: Sun Mar 04, 2018 11:54 pm"So, how close do you look like her?"
Re: Peanuts and a Pint, Hold the Peanuts
Posted: Mon Mar 05, 2018 12:15 am"In the neighborhood. Family resemblance for certain. Like I would imagine anyone would look like their mother."
Re: Peanuts and a Pint, Hold the Peanuts
Posted: Mon Mar 05, 2018 12:39 am"So, if they were trying to reproduce her...do you know why you're different? What, uh...
...I'm trying not to say 'what went wrong' here."

Re: Peanuts and a Pint, Hold the Peanuts
Posted: Mon Mar 05, 2018 12:55 am"Not sure. I only got half of her abilities. My sister got the other half... We're not real sure who the father might be or anything like that..."
Re: Peanuts and a Pint, Hold the Peanuts
Posted: Mon Mar 05, 2018 2:37 am"A mystery, huh?
Never fun to deal with."

Re: Peanuts and a Pint, Hold the Peanuts
Posted: Mon Mar 05, 2018 2:38 am"At least I know her now and she seems to actually give a shit about me as her 'child'."
Re: Peanuts and a Pint, Hold the Peanuts
Posted: Mon Mar 05, 2018 2:59 am"That's a good first step! Parental relations -- especially in 'weird' situations -- can be rough, so I'm glad this is going well for you."
Re: Peanuts and a Pint, Hold the Peanuts
Posted: Wed Mar 07, 2018 6:43 pm"Thanks. At least it's a start. Not sure how she's going to hang around. She's not exactly the fixed address type."
Re: Peanuts and a Pint, Hold the Peanuts
Posted: Wed Mar 07, 2018 6:56 pm"You should make sure she didn't get caught up in...all this."
Re: Peanuts and a Pint, Hold the Peanuts
Posted: Wed Mar 07, 2018 7:23 pm"She was staying off-campus. Ashlie wasn't keen about having her on campus. But your point is taken, I should check up on her soon."

Re: Peanuts and a Pint, Hold the Peanuts
Posted: Wed Mar 07, 2018 7:41 pm"My mother's public record is even less savory than mine and appearances are apparently important."
Re: Peanuts and a Pint, Hold the Peanuts
Posted: Wed Mar 07, 2018 7:55 pm"Important to keep her own nose clean. She puts herself and the institution over the needs of the individual student, I think you'll find."
Re: Peanuts and a Pint, Hold the Peanuts
Posted: Wed Mar 07, 2018 7:58 pm"I'm not sure I 100% agree with you on that, but my experience with her has been very unusual."
Re: Peanuts and a Pint, Hold the Peanuts
Posted: Wed Mar 07, 2018 8:00 pm"Yeah, I think I'm going to win that game of top trumps if we start going that way with our relationship with the headmistress."
Re: Peanuts and a Pint, Hold the Peanuts
Posted: Wed Mar 07, 2018 8:03 pm"Fair enough," Tereza chuckles, "At least there's Laura when we need a work-around."
Re: Peanuts and a Pint, Hold the Peanuts
Posted: Wed Mar 07, 2018 8:06 pm"I just end up sort of doing what I want, and dare ASHLIE to do anything about it. It's a system."
Re: Peanuts and a Pint, Hold the Peanuts
Posted: Wed Mar 07, 2018 8:10 pm"Yeah, but say, for instance, you want to take the Blackbird out for something, probably easier to go through Laura."
Re: Peanuts and a Pint, Hold the Peanuts
Posted: Wed Mar 07, 2018 8:25 pm"A fair point. It's never really come up," Will shrugged.
Re: Peanuts and a Pint, Hold the Peanuts
Posted: Wed Mar 07, 2018 8:29 pm"It... may have come up once or twice for me." The bartender drops off another beer for Will.
