Re: I13DT - Under The Tree
Posted: Wed Aug 06, 2014 8:15 am"Just a minute then," she said, wandering into the kitchen to get it.

Posted: Wed Aug 06, 2014 11:34 amWill wandered around a bit, settling on focusing on the spot the ritual took place in.

Re: I13DT - Under The Tree
Posted: Wed Aug 06, 2014 12:23 pm"I see things that aren't physically there sometimes. Sometimes it can be difficult to tell what's real and what's not." She looked at the spot for a bit longer, "It's hard to pick out because the Astral in this apartment is constantly being spun around, but the current's... a little different there."
Re: I13DT - Under The Tree
Posted: Wed Aug 06, 2014 12:24 pm"I see," Will said, not seeing.
"I'll admit, it feels different to me, too, and I'm not as attuned as you are."

Re: I13DT - Under The Tree
Posted: Wed Aug 06, 2014 12:38 pm"Oh, I was here. They blessed my action figure.
SHE blessed my action figure."

Posted: Wed Aug 06, 2014 1:03 pm"You're several levels of understatement below stating it mildly."
Re: I13DT - Under The Tree
Posted: Wed Aug 06, 2014 1:08 pm"To be honest, I think she's as wigged out about some of the stuff as other people are."
Re: I13DT - Under The Tree
Posted: Wed Aug 06, 2014 3:42 pm"She certainly was wigged out by something. I assumed it was by me fanboying out on her."
Re: I13DT - Under The Tree
Posted: Wed Aug 06, 2014 5:27 pm"I doubt it was that. I would liken it to the 'new pair of shoes' thing that I've heard about."
Re: I13DT - Under The Tree
Posted: Wed Aug 06, 2014 5:50 pm"...How they smell really good?"
Re: I13DT - Under The Tree
Posted: Wed Aug 06, 2014 5:55 pm"No, in the 'not comfortable right away' sense. I can't say that I've ever sniffed new shoes."
Re: I13DT - Under The Tree
Posted: Wed Aug 06, 2014 5:58 pm"There's a chemical they use to treat the leather," Will explained. "Intoxicating.
I don't know how uncomfortable she is..she's been doing this for quite some time."

Re: I13DT - Under The Tree
Posted: Wed Aug 06, 2014 6:01 pm"I don't think she's been doing the 'goddess' thing all that long. At least that's the impression that I get."
Re: I13DT - Under The Tree
Posted: Wed Aug 06, 2014 7:22 pm"I guess that depends on our definition of long," Will shrugged.
Re: I13DT - Under The Tree
Posted: Wed Aug 06, 2014 8:00 pm"Okay, so I would say this incarnation hasn't been doing it that long."
Re: I13DT - Under The Tree
Posted: Wed Aug 06, 2014 8:04 pm"Months, at least."
Re: I13DT - Under The Tree
Posted: Thu Aug 07, 2014 8:06 am"Which is a very short time when you're discussing deities."
Re: I13DT - Under The Tree
Posted: Thu Aug 07, 2014 11:16 am"You might be right," Will sighed.
Re: I13DT - Under The Tree
Posted: Thu Aug 07, 2014 11:22 am"Is something wrong?"
Re: I13DT - Under The Tree
Posted: Thu Aug 07, 2014 11:28 am"It was just...
It was such a...unique experience. I'm a little...." he faded out for a moment.
"I just don't want her to be uncomfortable."

Re: I13DT - Under The Tree
Posted: Thu Aug 07, 2014 11:29 am"One thing I'm learning as I interact with her more, if you want her to be comfortable, then you have to be comfortable."
Re: I13DT - Under The Tree
Posted: Thu Aug 07, 2014 11:39 am"I got too comfortable."
Re: I13DT - Under The Tree
Posted: Thu Aug 07, 2014 11:40 am"What makes you think that?" Then she quickly added, "Unless you don't want to talk about it."
Re: I13DT - Under The Tree
Posted: Thu Aug 07, 2014 11:48 am"Eh, I did my creepy shifting trick," Will shrugged. "I think I went a step too far inviting myself in."
Re: I13DT - Under The Tree
Posted: Thu Aug 07, 2014 11:50 am"Oh, the night she showed you the stuff in the Danger Room?"
Re: I13DT - Under The Tree
Posted: Thu Aug 07, 2014 11:54 am"Yeah, later that night."
Re: I13DT - Under The Tree
Posted: Thu Aug 07, 2014 12:00 pm"Very few people react favorably to someone coming in without some sort of current or ongoing invitation. At least, that's my observation."
Re: I13DT - Under The Tree
Posted: Thu Aug 07, 2014 12:03 pm"Oh, no, she invited me in and all that. Well, THAT time.
She did...make it sort of clear I should go."

Posted: Thu Aug 07, 2014 12:06 pm"As Mom keeps telling me, if I have a problem with Mum, I really need to talk it over with Mum. I may not agree with everything Mom says, but she's been right so far on that front."
Re: I13DT - Under The Tree
Posted: Thu Aug 07, 2014 12:09 pm"You know, I can barely tell the difference with your accent," Will evaded.
Re: I13DT - Under The Tree
Posted: Thu Aug 07, 2014 12:18 pm"Then you should listen more carefully," she said, poking him good-naturedly. "But really, you should talk to her. Assumptions suck."
Re: I13DT - Under The Tree
Posted: Thu Aug 07, 2014 12:23 pm"Well, here's the thing.
Is she the Morrigan, goddess of battle and strife?
Is she the headmistress, responsible for my education?
Is she the former Avenger, my boss as leader of the X-Teams?
Is she Sam, my mentor and teacher?
Every time I think I get a bead on it, it changes."
