The College Years - The Writing on the Wall

"Some other time maybe." she says with a tired smile.

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Jun 25, 2012 4:56 pm

"Sorry. I've interrogated you enough tonight, aye?"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Tue Jun 26, 2012 2:54 am

"Just about." she chuckles. "Thanks for understanding though."

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Jun 26, 2012 10:13 am

"And thank you for letting me get that off my chest."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Tue Jun 26, 2012 10:23 am

"You're welcome. The two of us gotta stick together, right?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Jun 26, 2012 10:25 am

"Aye," she said as she gathered up their mugs and stood.

"Now get some rest," she said as she reached a hand down to ruffle Nailah's hair, and headed off to stow the mugs.

by **Nailah Weaver** » Tue Jun 26, 2012 10:36 am

"Yes mom." she chuckles.

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Jun 26, 2012 10:38 am

"See if I make you cocoa again," she said, sticking her tongue out.

by **Nailah Weaver** » Tue Jun 26, 2012 10:44 am

"Fine..." she concedes. Though that doesn't stop her from throwing her pillow at Sam's head the moment she turns away.

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Jun 26, 2012 10:47 am

"Gah!" she exclaimed as the pillow hit her head.

"Why you little!" She snatched up the pillow, turning arround.

by **Nailah Weaver** » Tue Jun 26, 2012 10:52 am

And she'd find Nailah wearing the most innocent expression she can muster. Because she's out ammo.

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Jun 26, 2012 10:53 am

"Of course you know, this means war," she said, charging at Nailah with the pillow.

by **Nailah Weaver** » Tue Jun 26, 2012 11:00 am

Surprisingly, Nailah is already moving. She's not all that fast though so she still takes a pillow to the side of the face. Laughing she's toppled over.

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Jun 26, 2012 11:01 am

"I will have vengeance!" Sam said, pressing the advantage with a grin, pummeling her roommate.

by **Nailah Weaver** » Tue Jun 26, 2012 11:07 am

"Eeeh! I give up! I give up!" she laughs, trying to ward off the pillow with hands and wings. The later probably being the source of a couple stray feathers twirling through the air.

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Jun 26, 2012 11:08 am

She leaned forward and pressed the pillow into Nailah's hands.

"I accept the terms of your surrender," she smirked.

by **Nailah Weaver** » Tue Jun 26, 2012 11:13 am

"Must be all that superhero training." she pouts, clutching the pillow. She's not doing too great a job hiding the grin though.

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Jun 26, 2012 11:17 am

"I let you off easy," she said with a grin as she headed for her bunk.

by **Nailah Weaver** » Tue Jun 26, 2012 11:23 am

"I'm shaking in my boots." she smiles before making a wing-assisted hop up to the top bunk.

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Jun 26, 2012 11:25 am

"Aye, well maybe I didn't want to spit out any more feathers," she chuckled.

by **Nailah Weaver** » Tue Jun 26, 2012 11:28 am

"Shouldn't I be the one complaining about that? They're my feathers." she chuckles.

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Jun 26, 2012 11:29 am

"And it's my mouth. Somehow I think it was worse for me."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Tue Jun 26, 2012 11:50 am

"I'd pretend to be offended, but, well, it's feathers, so yeah."

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Jun 26, 2012 12:31 pm

"Didn't seem to hurt you at the least, Miss I-don't-need-a-ladder."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Tue Jun 26, 2012 12:37 pm

"There's always some looser ones as the plume regrows."

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Jun 26, 2012 12:43 pm

"Ah well. Sweet dreams?"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Tue Jun 26, 2012 12:52 pm

"Sweet dreams, Sam."

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Jun 26, 2012 12:54 pm

She smiled in the bunk beneath, and there was a slight sensation of settling in the room around them, with a faint ruffling of feathers. She rolled over and slowly drifted off.

by **Nailah Weaver** » Tue Jun 26, 2012 1:08 pm

Nailah grins at the sound, still thrilled about her mutant roommate. Not thrilled enough to not drift back to sleep though, this time with less visions and sleep-walking.

Instead she finds herself sitting in a lecture hall. It seems familiar in the sense that it doesn't look like any particular one but rather like the quintessential lecture hall. Just like the dream-like idea/stereotype of a professor giving a lesson in... apparently the same strange symbols Nailah had scribbled on the walls earlier, though there's no actual information to be gleaned from any of it.

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Jun 26, 2012 1:33 pm

The first thing Nailah might notice is several ravens perched amongst the rafters of the lecture hall.

by **Nailah Weaver** » Tue Jun 26, 2012 1:41 pm

Nailah's still trying to pay attention to the class (regardless of the subject and her notes being gibberish) but part of her is urging her to look around, feeling like there should be someone familiar in the crowd.

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Jun 26, 2012 1:51 pm

"Can I borrow your notes?" A familiar voice next to her says.

by **Nailah Weaver** » Tue Jun 26, 2012 1:55 pm

"Sure." she says, turning around expecting to see who she was looking for, even if she's still not quite sure who and how that relates to the birds in the rafters.

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Jun 26, 2012 2:01 pm

The person asking would look like Sam, save for the fact that her hair was longer, and raven-black.

"Thanks. Just trying to make sense of it, aye?"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Tue Jun 26, 2012 2:05 pm

Nailah blinks and then promptly forgets she was looking for someone now that she found her (sort of).

"Yeah. Tell me about it. I swear, this class." After a moment she adds "Have we met? You look familiar..."

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Jun 26, 2012 2:09 pm

"Are you kidding? My sisters and I hang out with you constantly, Nailah."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Tue Jun 26, 2012 2:14 pm

"Your... sisters?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Jun 26, 2012 2:16 pm

"Oh come on, you know this. There's me, there's Nemain," she said, gesturing to a girl with rather striking white hair, "and there's Badb," she gestured again to a redhead a few rows over.

by **Nailah Weaver** » Tue Jun 26, 2012 2:20 pm

"Sam?" she asks, looking over at the back of Badb's head.

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Jun 26, 2012 2:21 pm

"We're all Sam, Nailah..."
