Never Enough Time for This

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Aug 30, 2013 5:38 pm

Will sat on a bench under a tree, scribbling in a notebook, occasionally pausing to cross things out and ponder.

"Hey, whatcha doing?" Nina asks, sneaking up on Will.

by **Will Stanton** » Mon Sep 02, 2013 4:19 pm

"Hrm? Oh, hi Nina.

Just revising some writing I've been doing."

by **Nina Madaraki** » Mon Sep 02, 2013 4:19 pm

"That's neat," Nina says, taking a seat next to Will, "What sort of writing?"

by **Will Stanton** » Mon Sep 02, 2013 4:20 pm

"A play -- I've got a stack of rejection letters as long as my arm.

And my arm is of variable lengths."

by **Nina Madaraki** » Mon Sep 02, 2013 4:25 pm

"I didn't know you were a playwright," Nina says.

by **Will Stanton** » Mon Sep 02, 2013 4:42 pm

"I've been working on it, you know? I'd prefer not to be in commercials forever.

Sara had the grant thing, but, well, y'know -- evil people."

by **Nina Madaraki** » Mon Sep 02, 2013 4:45 pm

"Evil people do suck like that," Nina agrees, "What's the play about?"

by **Will Stanton** » Mon Sep 02, 2013 5:36 pm

"Alternate dimensions, believe it or not."

by **Nina Madaraki** » Mon Sep 02, 2013 5:47 pm

"Why wouldn't I believe it? I don't have any evidence that you're lying."

by **Will Stanton** » Mon Sep 02, 2013 6:39 pm

"But perhaps I was lying in an alternate universe."

by **Nina Madaraki** » Mon Sep 02, 2013 8:53 pm

"That would hurt the feelings of my alternate self."

by **Will Stanton** » Mon Sep 02, 2013 11:14 pm

"Well, I'll make sure to make him, her, or it apologize, then."

by **Nina Madaraki** » Mon Sep 02, 2013 11:19 pm

"Good," Nina says, smiling brightly.

"So, other than that, how've you been feeling?"

by **Will Stanton** » Mon Sep 02, 2013 11:28 pm

"Eh, so-so. Little annoyed with paperwork and all.

And with certain permanent markers."

by **Nina Madaraki** » Tue Sep 03, 2013 12:07 am

"Permanent markers?"

by **Will Stanton** » Tue Sep 03, 2013 12:11 am

"Yeah. SOMEONE thought it would be funny to write all over me and scare Janice to bits."

by **Nina Madaraki** » Tue Sep 03, 2013 12:34 am

"Who?" Nina asks, sounding completely innocent.

by **Will Stanton** » Tue Sep 03, 2013 3:02 pm

"Some crazy SHIELD agent with wild ideas and hair."

by **Nina Madaraki** » Tue Sep 03, 2013 3:05 pm

"...Ryan?" Nina asks.

by **Will Stanton** » Tue Sep 03, 2013 3:06 pm

"No, Ryan's hair is more 'business-time'."

by **Nina Madaraki** » Tue Sep 03, 2013 3:08 pm

"...Oh, you were THAT book?" Nina asks, "Wow! Janice is a REALLY good liar."

"I'll have to make a note of that."

by **Will Stanton** » Tue Sep 03, 2013 3:13 pm

"She really isn't. She's quite bad at things. Worked out, though.

You're saying you didn't know?"

by **Nina Madaraki** » Tue Sep 03, 2013 3:20 pm

"Of course not," Nina says, "I was trying to shoot you. If I knew it was you, I would've shot you."

by **Will Stanton** » Tue Sep 03, 2013 3:20 pm

"See, I'd appreciate it if you didn't do that."

by **Nina Madaraki** » Tue Sep 03, 2013 3:28 pm

"What? Why?" Nina asks, looking confused.

by **Will Stanton** » Tue Sep 03, 2013 7:32 pm

"I have an extreme allergic reaction to bullets. They cause me to die."

by **Nina Madaraki** » Wed Sep 04, 2013 12:36 am

Nina snorts, "Please. Like bullets can actually hurt you."

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Sep 04, 2013 1:55 am

"Might do."

by **Nina Madaraki** » Wed Sep 04, 2013 3:21 am

Nina snorts, "Will, I know your body pretty well. It'd take something a lot more than some made up magic SHIELD bullet to hurt ya."

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Sep 04, 2013 11:44 am

"Wait, you made that up?"

by **Nina Madaraki** » Wed Sep 04, 2013 3:23 pm

"Well, yeah," Nina says, "I'd never try to really hurt you. On purpose. You're my friend."

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Sep 04, 2013 10:29 pm

"Well, yeah, but I didn't think that would stop you."

by **Nina Madaraki** » Thu Sep 05, 2013 2:40 am

Nina laughs, "Yeah. I am kind of terrible like that."

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Sep 05, 2013 3:48 pm

"Eh, not terrible. Driven. Driven's good."

by **Nina Madaraki** » Fri Sep 06, 2013 3:16 am

"One of the other interns called me 'an abomination against god and science'," Nina says, sounding proud.

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Sep 06, 2013 4:22 pm

"Against science?"

by **Nina Madaraki** » Fri Sep 06, 2013 4:37 pm

"I figured out a way to grow human organs in pigs!" Nina says, "It was amazing."

"Unfortunately there was a mixup at the teambuilding luau and...well...."

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Sep 06, 2013 5:15 pm

"Note to self-- do not attend SHIELD Luaus."

by **Nina Madaraki** » Fri Sep 06, 2013 5:23 pm

Nina giggles, "They're not ALL that bad."
