"...Yeah, that sound you hear is the warning lights flashing. A potentially immortal woman opening a Morrigan-branded bar? Just a tad suspicious."

Posted: **Fri Apr 21, 2017 12:25 am**

"Didn't make the connection until the second time I saw her."

"I feel a little better knowing where she is, at least."

Posted: **Fri Apr 21, 2017 12:29 am**

"Well, it's something worth keeping an eye on," Will nodded. "Well, I suppose we wouldn't want life to get too simple."

Posted: **Fri Apr 21, 2017 12:35 am**

"And of course Miriam just thinks either I'm crazy, the woman's crazy, or some combination thereof."

"Which I suppose I can't rule out just yet."

Posted: **Fri Apr 21, 2017 12:36 am**

"How is she defining sanity? Rationality becomes kind of flexible at the margins."

Posted: **Fri Apr 21, 2017 12:37 am**

"I think she's just... having a rough time of things lately."

"So of course she takes it out on me. What else is new?"

Posted: **Fri Apr 21, 2017 12:43 am**

Will nodded sympathetically. "A few odd looks and veiled barbs are one thing. It could be worse."

Posted: **Fri Apr 21, 2017 12:51 am**

"...aye. More concerned about the fairy princess who thinks I stole her girlfriend."

Posted: **Fri Apr 21, 2017 12:57 am**

"You really can't catch a break, can you?"

Posted: **Fri Apr 21, 2017 1:06 am**

"I mean, I guess she's sort of right."

"If you ignore the fact that she dumped Tereza in the first place and buggered off to... Avalon or wherever fairies bugger off to."

Posted: **Fri Apr 21, 2017 1:22 am**

"Yeah, if she dumped Tereza first, she can't call takebacks there, even if you assumed Tereza had no say in the matter.

Plus, I'm pretty sure Avalon has no jurisdiction here."

Posted: **Fri Apr 21, 2017 2:46 am**

"Only over its' citizens." Vivienne came from the right. Her eyes dark and her skin fey.

Posted: **Fri Apr 21, 2017 2:51 am**

"Ah...Vivienne. My campfire has drawn in a couple of people, I see..."

Posted: **Fri Apr 21, 2017 2:59 am**

"Oh, bloody hell. I didn't think I said your name three times or anything."

Posted: **Fri Apr 21, 2017 3:18 am**

Vivienne's eye narrowed at Sam's comment. "You should be more specific with your summons. Next time use actual names not vague titles."

Posted: **Fri Apr 21, 2017 3:21 am**

"Actual names have power, don't they? I thought you people discouraged that sort of thing."

Posted: **Fri Apr 21, 2017 3:39 am**

"She has more than enough names that are her's alone. It is very unwise to simply burn blood and call for a fey queen. Your summons defaulted to the highest titled fey within a thousand miles. I do not appreciate being made to come and go at another's whim."

Posted: **Fri Apr 21, 2017 3:49 am**

Will smiled. "Duly noted. If you view my requests as commands, then I must compliment my teachers."

Posted: **Fri Apr 21, 2017 4:03 am**

"All magic summons are commands when applied to me."

Posted: **Fri Apr 21, 2017 4:04 am**

Will nodded, the smile fading. "I suffer from a similar problem -- desires end up as commands for my shifting. I know how awkward that can be when you're not expecting it. I apologize."

Posted: **Fri Apr 21, 2017 4:12 am**

"Suppose that's sorted, then."

Posted: **Fri Apr 21, 2017 4:21 am**

"I suppose I can use 'Phantom Queen', but that always feels like Scooby Doo should be there," she said, poking the fire.

Posted: **Fri Apr 21, 2017 5:01 am**

"'Sam' still works," she says with airquotes.

Posted: **Fri Apr 21, 2017 5:27 am**

"Yeah, but if I want to talk to 'Sam', I don't need to get all dolled up or take a trip to the grocery store. You have a perfectly cromulant door to knock on," she smiled.

"Not that you're not welcome here! Not at all. Just...some questions need to go up a level."

"Accepted"

Samantha McManus wrote:"Suppose that's sorted, then."

She turned to Sam. "Is it? You were requested, by someone who cares for you. I was...ripped from sleep. Twice now."

"Regardless, I am not needed nor desired. I bid you both, evening." She gave them both a society mandated "polite" nod and turned away.

Posted: **Fri Apr 21, 2017 5:54 pm**

Will nodded as Viv departed.

"Good lord, but does she have a stick up her bum."

Posted: **Fri Apr 21, 2017 6:06 pm**

"She's always like that, from what I've seen."

Posted: **Fri Apr 21, 2017 6:07 pm**

"There's a difference between being...formal, and being rude. Ah well."

Posted: **Fri Apr 21, 2017 6:35 pm**

"Well she's not fond of me to begin with, so that might have been that."

Posted: **Fri Apr 21, 2017 6:37 pm**

"When I said earlier that some people might not like you watching over things? That was probably one of those people."

Posted: **Fri Apr 21, 2017 8:17 pm**

"I'm not sure there's an actual way to please that one."

Posted: **Fri Apr 21, 2017 8:19 pm**

"Which is why, in general, I say fuck 'em. You gotta be you, and you get to decide what that means, not strange women lying in ponds distributing swords."

Posted: **Fri Apr 21, 2017 9:15 pm**

"It's funny. I actually encouraged Tereza to go out with her, back then."

Posted: **Fri Apr 21, 2017 9:18 pm**

"Oh? Thought they were a good match?"

Posted: **Fri Apr 21, 2017 9:21 pm**

"Well you know, this was before all the weird stalker shite."

Posted: **Fri Apr 21, 2017 9:33 pm**

"You really think she's stalking Tereza?"

Posted: **Fri Apr 21, 2017 9:56 pm**

"Well I don't bloody know, do I? She has to be all weird about it."

Posted: **Fri Apr 21, 2017 10:10 pm**

"It...is rather coincidental that she showed up just in time to find Tereza.

Then again, coincidences do happen, unless you think I'm stalking you."

Posted: **Sat Apr 22, 2017 2:39 pm**

"No, just performing a pagan ritual to ask something of me-not-me."

Posted: **Sat Apr 22, 2017 8:38 pm**

"A perfectly normal part of a healthy friendship," Will nodded, mock-seriously.

Xaviers!
