I2DT - Wine For Two

"For what it's worth, it feels less shitty when you just accept that fact. Gives you some control over it."

"Kind of hard to reconcile with wanting to be a bloody superhero, sometimes."

"Then be terrifying to the bad guys. That's my whole point, you get to make that decision. That's how I stand their misery. It's... I don't know. It's how you're not afraid of a knife when you're the one holding it. Because you're the one who decides what it does. Cut some veggies or stab a man. Cast them in their own pit of despair or make them bring you a bottle of wine. Be the boogeyman or be the thing that hides under the boogeyman's bed."

"I guess I've... some experience with that."

by **Miriam Bell** » Wed Jan 20, 2016 6:18 pm

"I saw what happened with your sister..." she says, surprisingly gently for Miriam. "Or at least how you remember it."

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Jan 20, 2016 6:31 pm

"Well it's... something I can do, regardless of whether I meant to do it when my powers emerged."

"So maybe I need to make it work for me."

by **Miriam Bell** » Wed Jan 20, 2016 6:38 pm

Miriam nods ever so slightly. "But you're worried people are gonna see you the way your sister saw you."

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Jan 20, 2016 6:42 pm

"It's a departure, aye? And part of me thrills to that, but I'm the queen of second-guessing myself."

by **Miriam Bell** » Wed Jan 20, 2016 6:49 pm

"Just let loose. That's what the Danger Room is for, yeah? It's garbage for telepathy, the things it puts up have as much depth as a cardboard cut-out, but you can make use of it. Lock the door and just go nuts. Get horrifying, turn yourself inside out and just figure out what it's like."

"Better strategy than sneaking out to the woods at night and having Will catch me."

by **Miriam Bell** » Wed Jan 20, 2016 8:33 pm

"What is it with you and the woods?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Jan 20, 2016 8:35 pm

"The estate's got bloody acres. I thought I'd get some privacy without worrying the teachers."

by **Miriam Bell** » Wed Jan 20, 2016 8:51 pm

"Hey, if that's what does it for you... I'm not judging." she says with a faint smirk.

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Jan 20, 2016 10:02 pm

"I'm aware that you have... more refined tastes," she smirks back.

by **Miriam Bell** » Wed Jan 20, 2016 10:05 pm

"Yeah, I just thought I was the only one who invited Will along."

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Jan 20, 2016 10:08 pm

"He was hiding in the trees! Who does that?"

by **Miriam Bell** » Wed Jan 20, 2016 10:15 pm

"I don't know, who sneaks out into the woods to make out with their girlfriend?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Jan 20, 2016 10:25 pm

"You're never going to let me live that down, are you?"

by **Miriam Bell** » Wed Jan 20, 2016 10:42 pm

"It's cute. So what did Will catch you doing, if not your girlfriend?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Jan 20, 2016 10:46 pm

"I was just practicing a form."

by **Miriam Bell** » Wed Jan 20, 2016 10:51 pm

"Out of everything, that is the tamest possible thing that Will could accidentally catch you doing." she can't help but chuckle.

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Jan 20, 2016 10:58 pm

"Just how do you think I spend my time?"

by **Miriam Bell** » Thu Jan 21, 2016 1:02 am

"I don't know, but getting caught shifting by Will is like being caught swimming by a fish."

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Jan 21, 2016 4:37 am

"I'm not saying it's the end of the world, but sometimes you just want to work things out on your own, aye?"

by **Miriam Bell** » Thu Jan 21, 2016 4:43 am

"I suppose that's true."

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Jan 21, 2016 6:41 pm

"Though I guess Miss Kinney's been... supportive."

by **Miriam Bell** » Thu Jan 21, 2016 6:56 pm

"Makes sense. She seems like the kind to not have any issues with unloading on bad guys..."

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Jan 21, 2016 8:23 pm

"She's rather pragmatic, aye."

"Can be a bit intense at times, but I guess none of us have a leg to stand on there."

by **Miriam Bell** » Thu Jan 21, 2016 8:41 pm

"I prefer my intensities subtle, thank you very much. That woman's like a spring-loaded knife."

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Jan 21, 2016 9:50 pm

"A bit literally."

by **Miriam Bell** » Thu Jan 21, 2016 10:17 pm

"I'm not sure you're one to talk. You feel like fur and blood and snarling teeth lately."

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Jan 21, 2016 10:27 pm

"I was more talking about the fact that she's partly composed of actual spring-loaded knives but... fair point."

by **Miriam Bell** » Thu Jan 21, 2016 10:33 pm

"Just because you're not composed of teeth and fur right this second doesn't mean it's not there. It's just coiled up potential instead."

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Jan 21, 2016 10:40 pm

"It's like trying to smell yourself. Hard for me to notice. Takes another telepath to really tell."

by **Miriam Bell** » Thu Jan 21, 2016 10:45 pm

"I meant more that you can always shift into it. It's all but literally present."

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Jan 21, 2016 10:54 pm

"Ah, I thought you were being metaphorical as well," she shrugs and sips her wine.

by **Miriam Bell** » Fri Jan 22, 2016 2:44 am

"Well I figured that's what you meant when you were talking about going into the woods to try things in private."

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Jan 25, 2016 6:42 pm

"...well, aye. Literal... works too, in this case."

by **Miriam Bell** » Mon Jan 25, 2016 8:29 pm

"Did it bother you that Will saw that?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Jan 25, 2016 8:34 pm

"I guess not. It's not like he gave me any hassle."
