Sam & Nailah's - Gonna Write Myself A New Start

by **Miranda Weaver** » Tue Dec 16, 2014 7:37 pm

"Contradictory personality elements. They don't want to fit together."

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Dec 16, 2014 7:39 pm

"They're all part of the same girl, aye? Everyone has moods."

by **Miranda Weaver** » Tue Dec 16, 2014 7:45 pm

"We suppose." The definition of the avatar everywhere but the head seemed to be set. The robe was white with a black cloth belt from which hung a set of keys. All three constructs stood, placing their hands on the avatar. They shimmered and disappeared and the avatar stirred. The head's definition snapped in, taking on Miranda's features but with smooth skin where the eyes should be and her hair held back with a band of black. She took a step and looked at Sam, unfolding her wings to reveal them covered in a rainbow of colored feathers. "Hi, Mum." She seemed a little self-conscious.

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Dec 16, 2014 7:48 pm

"Hello there, dear." Her avatar smiles.

"Something you might want to consider is whether the seeming contradictions just need a bit of a buffer to ease the transition. Badb and Nemain would be mutually exclusive without Macha to mediate."

by **Miranda Weaver** » Tue Dec 16, 2014 7:53 pm

"I'm not sure how you'd buffer it, but I'll try to keep that in mind. Sorry if I smelled up the living room. The scent helps me relax and focus."

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Dec 16, 2014 7:55 pm

She chuckles.

"This is why I was glad when your mother moved her shrine to the lighthouse, but it's nothing that won't clear out."

by **Miranda Weaver** » Tue Dec 16, 2014 7:56 pm

"I was worried about what might be lurking around outside that would take advantage of the situation."

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Dec 16, 2014 7:58 pm

"You'll always be safe in here, Miranda."

by **Miranda Weaver** » Tue Dec 16, 2014 8:05 pm

"I know. I always... no, that's a lie. I usually feel safe here."

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Dec 16, 2014 8:07 pm

"Just means there's some ways to go, aye?"

by **Miranda Weaver** » Tue Dec 16, 2014 8:13 pm

"Room to grow and learn. Something I apparently need to be reminded of regularly."

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Dec 17, 2014 2:17 pm

"Anything more you'd like to do here? I'll warn you, when your mother gets home and sees the incense, she's going to think this is adorable."

by **Miranda Weaver** » Wed Dec 17, 2014 2:32 pm

"I think I've closed some of the gaps for the time being. Things feel... better. And Mom is allowed to think what she thinks." She smiled.

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Dec 17, 2014 2:42 pm

"She likes to think of the things you both share. She didn't have that growing up, even as pro-mutant as her parents were."

by **Miranda Weaver** » Wed Dec 17, 2014 2:54 pm

"I'm still not sure how to handle my disagreements with her on your nature... or even if I need to handle them. But it is nice to have a few things in common."

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Dec 17, 2014 2:56 pm

"At least part of you believes being the daughter of the Morrigan is a significant thing. I'm happy to just be Mum, though."

by **Miranda Weaver** » Wed Dec 17, 2014 3:02 pm

"I've used its significance and I felt Aria use its significance. It was... unsettling. You'll always be Mum though."

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Dec 17, 2014 3:28 pm

"I doubt the myths say much about the Morrigan baking cookies with her daughter," she chuckles.

by **Miranda Weaver** » Wed Dec 17, 2014 3:36 pm

"They don't actually say much about the Morrigan having a daughter, so that sort of precludes baking cookies. I suppose there is a certain amount of 'what you make of it', but the name alone carries expectations from others." Then she quickly added, "Not that I'm opposed to baking cookies with you."

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Dec 17, 2014 3:37 pm

"I was going to say. Perhaps bring some back to Kay as a thank-you for helping with dinner?"

by **Miranda Weaver** » Wed Dec 17, 2014 3:39 pm

"I think she'd like that. I should clean up the incense first."

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Dec 17, 2014 3:43 pm

"Aye. We'll fill the flat with a different sort of smell."

She smiles and retreats back into the physical world.

by **Miranda Weaver** » Wed Dec 17, 2014 3:46 pm

"That sounds good," Miranda said from the living room, flexing her wings which now had a few more brightly colored feathers in them than before.

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Dec 17, 2014 3:48 pm

"Your wings are getting quite pretty. Those have been coming in awhile?" She says, getting up and starting towards the kitchen.

by **Miranda Weaver** » Wed Dec 17, 2014 3:51 pm

"For a little bit," she said. "Which is weird, since I'm not really shedding many feathers."

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Dec 17, 2014 3:53 pm

"That is a bit odd," she nods. "Though we've wondered just how much you might take after me."

by **Miranda Weaver** » Wed Dec 17, 2014 4:01 pm

"I suppose it's possible. It looks a little strange with all the black though."

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Dec 17, 2014 4:04 pm

"Seems to be following suit with your avatar, though. I build forms rather like I build avatars."

by **Miranda Weaver** » Wed Dec 17, 2014 4:07 pm

"I suppose there's a bit of you here beyond the telepathy then. Hopefully I won't start changing forms all around though. I'm not sure how I would handle that... no offense."

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Dec 17, 2014 4:10 pm

"None taken. I've said before that for all I enjoy it now, I wouldn't wish my shapeshifting on you in its early stages."

by **Miranda Weaver** » Wed Dec 17, 2014 4:19 pm

"And I have enough headaches between the precognition and the telepathy. Not to mention the clairvoyance."

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Dec 17, 2014 4:30 pm

"And right now it's all relatively new and awkward, but down the road I rather think it's going to come together impressively."

by **Miranda Weaver** » Wed Dec 17, 2014 4:46 pm

"If Aria's development can be used as an indication, then more than likely."

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Dec 17, 2014 5:03 pm

"Though you don't have to feel any more bound by that than anything."

by **Miranda Weaver** » Wed Dec 17, 2014 5:15 pm

"It's hard not to feel at least a little bound by it in some respects," she said as she cleaned up the incense and carried it to throw it away.

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Dec 17, 2014 5:21 pm

"Think of her as your sister. It's true in some respects."

by **Miranda Weaver** » Wed Dec 17, 2014 5:28 pm

"I suppose that's at best tied for the weirdest thing in this family."

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Dec 17, 2014 6:54 pm

"Aye, 'normal' was never on the menu."

by **Miranda Weaver** » Wed Dec 17, 2014 7:01 pm

"Normal is a strange concept."

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Dec 17, 2014 7:18 pm

"It's arbitrary, is what it is. Codifying someone else's comfort levels as the baseline."
