I13DT: Everything's Better with Muffins

Previously the lodgings of the late Lady Braddock, grandmother to Brian and Elizabeth, the Dower House fell into disuse for a number of years, particularly after Braddock Manor passed to Brian himself. Since the arrival of the University, it has been renovated into housing for faculty, staff, and students with special lodging needs.

Walking through the door, Sara emerged...

...in the living room of Robin's dollhouse in their apartment. The dollhouse swung open on it's hinges to reveal Mira looking in.

"Really?"

"This is ridiculous." she says, turning around again and slamming the door behind herself.

She then emerged in a weird place. On her left was a brightly colored house, with some bushes and stick figures and clouds. On her right was...her kitchen.

Apparently, she had just come out of the door of one of Robin's crayon drawings, pinned to the fridge. She seemed to also be made out of crayon at the moment, to better fit in with the picture.

"Are we done here?" Mira said, turning around to face the fridge.

"No, I think YOU'RE not getting the message," Mira said, poking the crayon picture of Sara.

"You've seen Will playing dolls with Robin, right? I bet you've even joined in. Family bonding?"

"Hey!" she objects to the poking. "Of course I have. So what?"

"So, I'm sure you've noticed it sometimes going slack and letting Robin decide the stories? Moving it around like it was actually one of her dolls?

Oh, sure, sometimes it joins in and helps tell the story, but it's an actor at heart--it likes having it's lines decided for it."

"Oh so he lets Robin play with him, clearly that's indicative of all kinds of things. I've been through this with Onyx, I'm don't particularly care for doing it again. Don't reinforce this crap, especially not without his god damn consent."

She gestures around the crayon world. "If this is how 'superior beings' act then I'm glad I'm just a lowly human. I refuse to argue this with someone who can't even stand the idea of someone walking away from them."

"Do you remember when the two of you broke your bed, and Will spent the night as a replacement?

Did you know that when Steph was being shot at, Will turned itself into a literal bullet-shield for her?

You ARE aware of Janice and it's little experiments, right?"
Mira said, ticking things off on her fingers.

"I was not but you're missing the point! No one's making him do this, because if they were I'd probably break their bones. He doesn't even remember what you did. You're judging things you have no right to decide. Do you honestly want to tell me that by his very nature that he's 'asking for it'?"

Sara waits for her to leave (as pointless as that probably is) and then goes about exploring her surroundings to see if she can somehow go past the boundaries of the paper or go back through the crayon door in the crayon house.

She could, in fact, go back through the door! She'd find herself back in Robin's dollhouse.

"Well that makes a surprising amount of sense..." she mumbles. Closing the door she stops, turns around and opens it again to check what's on the other side.

On the other side of the door was...the other side of the door. That is to say, her apartment.

"God damnit..." she grumbles and steps out of the dollhouse, carefully sliding up to the edge of the table to look down. Nopenopenope!

Taking a couple of quick steps back she looks around to see what else she can do. "Will!" she shouts, hoping he might hear her in the kitchen and wake up.

"Some help you are..." she grumbles and goes back into the dollhouse to look for something that might help her climb down from the table.

Ten minutes later she's sitting outside the house, tieing bedsheets together.

Robin's doll's bedsheets weren't quite long enough to hit the floor, but it'd be a start.

"Okay, fine, that'll have to do. Just don't look down." she tells herself as she carefully climbs over the edge and lowers herself down bit by bit on the sheet. Once she gets to the knot she made in the end she takes a deep breath, closes her eyes and shifts to stone, slowly elongating herself towards the floor like the world's fastest growing stalactite.

"Damn cosmic entities with their stupid powers that get to their stupid heads, thinking they can just do whatever they want to do and get their way by throwing people into paintings and whatnot." she grumbles as she begins the trek over to where Will is sleeping on the floor. She walks up to him pokes him in the forehead. "Hey! Wake up!"
