Cafeteria - Replacement Therapy

by **Theresa McMasters** » Thu Mar 26, 2015 6:54 pm

Theresa slid her tray onto an empty table and set her backpack down, pulling a laptop out of the backpack and setting it up on the table. She started munching on her food with one hand while her other hand worked on the laptop.

"Hey," Brigid says as she walks up. "New goodies arrived, huh?"

by **Theresa McMasters** » Fri Mar 27, 2015 5:54 pm

"Finally," Theresa said, glancing up. She still didn't quite meet Brigid's eyes, but her body language didn't suggest frightened puppy anymore. "Have a seat if you like."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Fri Mar 27, 2015 5:55 pm

"Calmed down a bit, huh?" She asks, pulling up a chair and sitting.

by **Theresa McMasters** » Fri Mar 27, 2015 6:03 pm

"Been doing a lot of thinking. Some of it's helped, some of it hasn't, but you can't win them all," she smiled.

"I'm glad. I know I'm kind of part of it but... I've missed hanging out, you know?"

by **Theresa McMasters** » Fri Mar 27, 2015 6:17 pm

"I have to, if I'm honest. Can't guarantee I won't still get wiggy, but I'm trying."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Fri Mar 27, 2015 6:19 pm

"Well I'm still, y'know, willing to try other things. Hell, I used to talk to you online over the summer. What's a little more?"

by **Theresa McMasters** » Fri Mar 27, 2015 6:21 pm

"Might give it a try sometime. Maybe we can try some neutral things too like watching movies and stuff."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Fri Mar 27, 2015 6:22 pm

"And we'll just... have to watch ourselves closer to the moon, I guess."

by **Theresa McMasters** » Fri Mar 27, 2015 6:42 pm

"If I can't figure out how to exercise self-control, I'm never going to survive. I learned that over the summer too, but somehow managed to forget that."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Fri Mar 27, 2015 6:43 pm

"I guess it's... easy to forget things, sometimes."

by **Theresa McMasters** » Fri Mar 27, 2015 6:50 pm

"Yeah. Get caught up in the emotions. And I was so over the moon with Murphy, no pun intended, that I let it crack my control. I'm just sorry I took it out on you."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Fri Mar 27, 2015 6:53 pm

"Well I... gave as good as I got."

by **Theresa McMasters** » Fri Mar 27, 2015 7:17 pm

"I'm sure Murphy would agree," she said with a chuckle.

by **Brigid Plunder** » Fri Mar 27, 2015 7:22 pm

"This is the part where I avoid mentioning that fight felt really good, huh?"

by **Theresa McMasters** » Fri Mar 27, 2015 7:30 pm

"I can see why. When Steph and I hashed things out, it felt good."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Fri Mar 27, 2015 7:32 pm

"Everything clicks for awhile. It just works."

by **Theresa McMasters** » Fri Mar 27, 2015 7:45 pm

"Things do make a certain sort of sense. Not necessarily good sense, but a certain sort."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Fri Mar 27, 2015 7:47 pm

"So what does it say about me that I liked that?"

by **Theresa McMasters** » Fri Mar 27, 2015 8:27 pm

"Given your power, it doesn't exactly surprise me."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Fri Mar 27, 2015 8:48 pm

"Guess so. Just didn't expect it to... all come together like that."

by **Theresa McMasters** » Fri Mar 27, 2015 8:50 pm

"I don't think I expected things to work quite the way they do for me either."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Sat Mar 28, 2015 3:57 pm

"Yeah, well... we can make it work, right?"

by **Theresa McMasters** » Sat Mar 28, 2015 4:28 pm

"We'll do our best."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Mon Mar 30, 2015 2:19 pm

"I just... I don't know. I don't want to back off just when things are starting to make sense."

by **Theresa McMasters** » Mon Mar 30, 2015 2:21 pm

"Back off how?"

by **Brigid Plunder** » Mon Mar 30, 2015 2:32 pm

"From what we are."

by **Theresa McMasters** » Mon Mar 30, 2015 2:34 pm

"I'm just trying to figure out how to incorporate as yet another thing I control. I managed to get a handle on my powers, I'm just applying those principles to this. I'm not claiming to have the gospel for anyone else. If you want to embrace it, go right ahead."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Mon Mar 30, 2015 3:14 pm

"Sorry. I'm not... trying to freak you out, or anything."

by **Theresa McMasters** » Mon Mar 30, 2015 5:22 pm

She smiled and looked directly at Brigid. "Not freaking out, just trying not to harsh your mellow."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Mon Mar 30, 2015 6:13 pm

Brigid straightens up a bit, some of the uncertainty leaving her bearing.

"Well... good," she smiles, though she doesn't show any teeth. "One less thing to worry about."

by **Theresa McMasters** » Mon Mar 30, 2015 6:16 pm

Without breaking her smile, Theresa turns her gaze back to her laptop, leaving Brigid with the 'win'. "That doesn't mean you're off the hook for taking care of the others."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Mon Mar 30, 2015 6:17 pm

"Didn't think it did. I'm not going to abandon them."

by **Theresa McMasters** » Mon Mar 30, 2015 6:26 pm

"Good," she said. "While we're in the vague vicinity of this subject, Victoria knows what I am now. She picked up on the curse while I was prowling around the woods the other night."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Mon Mar 30, 2015 6:29 pm

"That... doesn't sound great."

by **Theresa McMasters** » Mon Mar 30, 2015 6:39 pm

"She seems to assume that there's a pack, but I didn't confirm anything beyond Murphy since she already knew Murphy was. She claims she got mauled trying to cure the last pack, so she's not going to stick her neck out this time, but I'm not sure I'd lay money on her staying away forever. So be wary."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Mon Mar 30, 2015 6:41 pm

"I wasn't planning on poking that hornet's nest at all."

by **Theresa McMasters** » Mon Mar 30, 2015 7:19 pm

"Better me than someone else. I can at least pass it off as 'my girlfriend got too frisky.'"

by **Brigid Plunder** » Mon Mar 30, 2015 7:21 pm

"Not entirely untrue," she says with a toothy smirk.
