Issue 1 Downtime

Amanda was sitting alone at a table, eating her lunch.

Posted: **Mon Oct 10, 2011 2:01 am**

Unable to spot Becca anywhere and their usual table occupied Nailah was wandering around a bit aimlessly with her tray of food until she comes up to Amanda's table.

"Oh, hey. Mind if I sit here?"

Posted: **Mon Oct 10, 2011 2:53 am**

"Sure." Amanda said, have a seat.

Posted: **Mon Oct 10, 2011 2:54 am**

"Thanks." she says, sitting down. "I'm Nailah, by the way."

Posted: **Mon Oct 10, 2011 3:03 am**

"Amanda." she said "I've seen you in the halls, but I don't think we have any classes together."

Posted: **Mon Oct 10, 2011 4:25 am**

"Guess I stand out, even here, huh?" she smiles a bit wryly.

Posted: **Mon Oct 10, 2011 11:21 pm**

"No more than I do." Amanda said, touching her scales.

Posted: **Tue Oct 11, 2011 1:51 am**

"Right, yeah, of course. I'm sorry."

Posted: **Tue Oct 11, 2011 1:59 am**

"hey, freaks of the world unite, right?"

Posted: **Tue Oct 11, 2011 2:09 am**

"Heh, yeah. Doubt the rest of the world is gonna like that, though."

Posted: **Wed Oct 12, 2011 12:49 am**

"Yeah, but I don't have a better plan." Amanda replied "Have you always looked like that?"

Posted: **Wed Oct 12, 2011 2:01 am**

Nailah shakes her head. "It started a bit over a year ago with the fur."

Posted: **Wed Oct 12, 2011 2:32 am**

"That must have been tough."

Posted: **Wed Oct 12, 2011 2:44 am**

"Well I... tried to shave it off, but it grew back pretty fast. Still, the legs were worse. Hurt pretty bad for a week or so."

Posted: **Wed Oct 12, 2011 4:54 pm**

"Yeah, shaving sucks." Amanda said "I really hate it in spots where the hair has grown up right by the scales."

Posted: **Wed Oct 12, 2011 5:05 pm**

"Oh! They go down all the way to your legs?"

Posted: **Wed Oct 12, 2011 8:27 pm**

"Yep." Amanda said "I've got scales kinda all over."

Posted: **Thu Oct 13, 2011 2:01 am**

"That's kinda cool, actually."

Posted: **Thu Oct 13, 2011 2:10 am**

"Yeah, I guess it is." Amanda said, smiling a little "I don't think about it much, I was born like this."

Posted: **Thu Oct 13, 2011 2:18 am**

"Okay this is probably a stupid question to ask, but do you, like, molt?"

Posted: **Thu Oct 13, 2011 2:26 am**

"Yeah." Amanda replied "Usually its when I hit a growth spurt, but it usually happens in the fall no matter what. And when my skin was all broken out because of puberty, I was, like constantly shedding. It was awful."

Posted: **Thu Oct 13, 2011 2:32 am**

"Oh jeez, yeah that sounds awful. Sorry. The worst thing I get is leaving hair everywhere."

Posted: **Thu Oct 13, 2011 2:49 am**

"Most of the time it isn't that bad." Amanda said "Except right before I shed. My scales get so dull and ugly."

Posted: **Thu Oct 13, 2011 2:56 am**

"That's a shame, they do look pretty. But hey, that means they're never gonna get old, right?"

Posted: **Thu Oct 13, 2011 11:56 am**

"Yeah, I hope so." Amanda said "I seem to have really good skin, even the parts that aren't scaly. So, y'know, some compensation."

Posted: **Thu Oct 13, 2011 12:11 pm**

"Yeah, it tends to balance out. I'll probably get to fly!"

Posted: **Thu Oct 13, 2011 8:38 pm**

"Awesome!" Amanda said "My brother can fly. Its pretty amazingly cool. He's a bat-boy." she added, by way of explanation.

Posted: **Fri Oct 14, 2011 1:52 am**

"I can't imagine it not being crazy awesome. Can't wait." she grins.

Posted: **Fri Oct 14, 2011 2:46 am**

"Yeah, thats what everyone says." Amanda replied "Maybe I'll get lucky and meet someone who can take me flying."

Posted: **Fri Oct 14, 2011 2:51 am**

"Well I dunno if I'll be able to carry someone, but if I do I'd totally give you a lift."

Posted: **Sat Oct 15, 2011 2:14 am**

"Thanks!" Amanda said with a grin "That would be totally cool."

Posted: **Sat Oct 15, 2011 6:09 am**

"Hey, that's what they tell us to use our powers for, right? Help people." she smiles.

Posted: **Sat Oct 15, 2011 12:21 pm**

"Taking me flying is clearly right up there with saving the world from Galactacus." Amanda said, gigglig.

Posted: **Sat Oct 15, 2011 12:22 pm**

"Well, stick to what you can do, I guess." she chuckles.

Posted: **Sun Oct 16, 2011 12:33 am**

"So, do you have any other powers?" Amanda asked "Besides almost flying?"

Posted: **Sun Oct 16, 2011 6:38 am**

"I'm not sure. Sometimes I get these dreams and moments of... it's kinda like deja-vu..."

Posted: **Wed Oct 19, 2011 1:59 am**

"Awesome." Amanda said, "Have you seen anything that came true?"

Posted: **Wed Oct 19, 2011 2:05 am**

"Yeah. I dunno... Maybe? It's always really vague except once..."

Posted: **Wed Oct 19, 2011 3:01 am**

"What happened?"

Posted: **Wed Oct 19, 2011 3:13 am**

Nailah shifts around a bit in her chair, obviously not comfortable talking about it.

"People died..." she just says quietly.
