I13DT - Under The Tree

"Would you like something to drink? I think we have some fruit juice."

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Aug 06, 2014 12:14 am

"I...well, OK, if you're offering."

by **Miranda Weaver** » Wed Aug 06, 2014 8:15 am

"Just a minute then," she said, wandering into the kitchen to get it.

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Aug 06, 2014 11:34 am

Will wandered around a bit, settling on focusing on the spot the ritual took place in.

Miranda returned with two glasses, offering one to Will. "That spot does feel different," she commented, "Even looks a little different from some perspectives."

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Aug 06, 2014 12:12 pm

"'Looks' a little different? How so?"

by **Miranda Weaver** » 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."

by **Will Stanton** » 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."

by **Miranda Weaver** » Wed Aug 06, 2014 12:25 pm

"Makes you wonder what happened there," she said.

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Aug 06, 2014 12:38 pm

"Oh, I was here. They blessed my action figure.

SHE blessed my action figure."

"Ah. Mum's deific alter ego," she nodded. "That must have been an interesting sight."

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Aug 06, 2014 1:03 pm

"You're several levels of understatement below stating it mildly."

by **Miranda Weaver** » 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."

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Aug 06, 2014 3:42 pm

"She certainly was wigged out by something. I assumed it was by me fanboying out on her."

by **Miranda Weaver** » 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."

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Aug 06, 2014 5:50 pm

"...How they smell really good?"

by **Miranda Weaver** » 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."

by **Will Stanton** » 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."

by **Miranda Weaver** » 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."

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Aug 06, 2014 7:22 pm

"I guess that depends on our definition of long," Will shrugged.

by **Miranda Weaver** » Wed Aug 06, 2014 8:00 pm

"Okay, so I would say this incarnation hasn't been doing it that long."

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Aug 06, 2014 8:04 pm

"Months, at least."

by **Miranda Weaver** » Thu Aug 07, 2014 8:06 am

"Which is a very short time when you're discussing deities."

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Aug 07, 2014 11:16 am

"You might be right," Will sighed.

by **Miranda Weaver** » Thu Aug 07, 2014 11:22 am

"Is something wrong?"

by **Will Stanton** » 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."

by **Miranda Weaver** » 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."

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Aug 07, 2014 11:39 am

"I got too comfortable."

by **Miranda Weaver** » 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."

by **Will Stanton** » 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."

by **Miranda Weaver** » Thu Aug 07, 2014 11:50 am

"Oh, the night she showed you the stuff in the Danger Room?"

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Aug 07, 2014 11:54 am

"Yeah, later that night."

by **Miranda Weaver** » 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."

by **Will Stanton** » 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."

by **Miranda Weaver** » 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."

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Aug 07, 2014 12:09 pm

"You know, I can barely tell the difference with your accent," Will evaded.

by **Miranda Weaver** » 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."

by **Will Stanton** » 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."

by **Miranda Weaver** » Thu Aug 07, 2014 1:00 pm

"It's not going to help if I say "all of the above" is it?"

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Aug 07, 2014 1:04 pm

"It really isn't."
