I13DT - Last Minute Shopping

by **Miranda Weaver** » Fri Aug 29, 2014 12:49 pm

Miranda pulled out a couple of small boxes popping them open briefly to reveal that they were the lighter "fashion" style of scarf. "Didn't want them to be a winter-only thing." She closed the boxes and taped them shut, settling into the wrapping with Sam. "Do you think I should change my last name?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Aug 29, 2014 12:54 pm

"You know, we'd been wondering on how to bring that up to you. What we'd settled on was that it would be your choice."

by **Miranda Weaver** » Fri Aug 29, 2014 12:58 pm

"That doesn't really answer the question though. Let me rephrase, do you *want* me to change my last name?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Aug 29, 2014 1:37 pm

"I think perhaps your current last name is a bit... impersonal?"

"It's more about what you're comfortable with, though."

by **Miranda Weaver** » Fri Aug 29, 2014 1:40 pm

"Well, it was just something I picked off the top of my head. If I do change it, should I go one or the other? Should I hyphenate?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Aug 29, 2014 4:42 pm

"We won't be offended by any of the above. Perhaps hyphenated is best, though."

by **Miranda Weaver** » Fri Aug 29, 2014 4:45 pm

"McManus-Weaver it is then, once Ms. Rogers settles everything legally."

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Aug 29, 2014 4:46 pm

"Well then, that was surprisingly easy," she smiles.

by **Miranda Weaver** » Fri Aug 29, 2014 4:48 pm

"There are other more important things to obsess over."

by **Aria Nyx** » Fri Aug 29, 2014 7:58 pm

All of a sudden Aria's voice shouts "Surprise!" and she and Kathleen step out of nowhere and in front of the fireplace.

by **Kathleen McManus** » Fri Aug 29, 2014 8:00 pm

"Good lord, how do you stand that?" Kat asks, getting her bearings.

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Aug 29, 2014 8:01 pm

Was the coat a slightly greener shade than it had started as?

by **Miranda Weaver** » Fri Aug 29, 2014 8:13 pm

Miranda jumped as they entered, her wings unfolding a bit. Aria, and by extension Will, would feel like she was suddenly under quite a bit of scrutiny. "She stands it because it adds to her air of mystery," Miranda said, composing her wings again as she turned around.

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Aug 29, 2014 8:16 pm

"...Kat, good to see you," Samantha says as she blinks.

She then looks to Aria questioningly. Or is she looking at the coat?

by **Aria Nyx** » Fri Aug 29, 2014 8:21 pm

"Hope you don't mind the invitation." she says, noticing Sam's glance.

by **Kathleen McManus** » Fri Aug 29, 2014 8:22 pm

"She happened to be passing by."

"How many nieces do I have, by the way?"

by **Aria Nyx** » Fri Aug 29, 2014 8:29 pm

"Just the ones in the room."

by **Miranda Weaver** » Fri Aug 29, 2014 8:34 pm

"You must be Aunt Kat." Miranda got up and crossed to Kat, trying to figure out if Kat was the hugging type or not.

by **Kathleen McManus** » Fri Aug 29, 2014 8:37 pm

"Aye, and you're Miranda, the niece my sister actually told me about."

She smirks and sets the bag and her helmet aside, broadening to a grin as she throws her arms open.

by **Miranda Weaver** » Fri Aug 29, 2014 8:46 pm

Miranda apparently needed little encouragement, throwing her arms around Kat.

by **Kathleen McManus** » Sun Aug 31, 2014 1:30 pm

"Now, someone tells me this is your first Christmas."

"That calls for doing it proper, aye?"

by **Miranda Weaver** » Sun Aug 31, 2014 1:32 pm

Miranda nods, "We've been trying."

by **Kathleen McManus** » Sun Aug 31, 2014 1:34 pm

"Well one thing you should know is that doing it properly involves having an auntie that can spoil you rotten and doesn't have to deal with the aftermath."

by **Samantha McManus** » Sun Aug 31, 2014 1:35 pm

"She's been waiting for this, I can tell."

by **Kathleen McManus** » Sun Aug 31, 2014 1:35 pm

"I wasn't even sure I'd get a chance. Mum and Dad have put all the pressure on me for grandkids."

by **Aria Nyx** » Sun Aug 31, 2014 2:03 pm

"You better milk this for all it's worth." she stage-whispers to Miranda with a chuckle.

by **Miranda Weaver** » Sun Aug 31, 2014 4:28 pm

"I think it's just awesome to have an aunt," she said, giving Kat another hug before letting her go.

by **Aria Nyx** » Sun Aug 31, 2014 5:09 pm

"It is." she admits with a fond smile in Kat's direction.

by **Kathleen McManus** » Tue Sep 02, 2014 12:52 pm

"Well I've long ago accepted that having your mum for a sister meant... surprises, but this is a pleasant one," she smiles.

by **Miranda Weaver** » Tue Sep 02, 2014 12:59 pm

"Hopefully it continues to be a pleasant surprise."

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Sep 02, 2014 1:31 pm

"I think she'd much rather it not be a surprise, but she's good at thinking on her feet."

by **Miranda Weaver** » Tue Sep 02, 2014 2:14 pm

"Well, hopefully it will be pleasant without surprises then," she amended.

by **Aria Nyx** » Wed Sep 03, 2014 9:26 am

"And that's my cue to leave. Well, not that specifically, but you know... Say hi to Mom for me." she says and with that she disappears, just as the front door opens.

by **Nailah Weaver** » Wed Sep 03, 2014 9:29 am

"Good afternoon!" Nailah's voice comes from the hallway before she steps into the room. "I see we have company. You must be Sam's sister." she smiles at Kat.

by **Kathleen McManus** » Wed Sep 03, 2014 12:43 pm

"Aye. Stopped in to see my new niece. Ended up a bit of a family reunion."

by **Miranda Weaver** » Wed Sep 03, 2014 12:48 pm

"Aria says 'Hi'," Miranda added, by way of an explanation as she went to hug Nailah.

by **Nailah Weaver** » Wed Sep 03, 2014 1:28 pm

"Oh so you got to meet both your surprise nieces, huh?" she chuckles as she hugs Miranda.

by **Kathleen McManus** » Wed Sep 03, 2014 1:31 pm

"To be fair, the time-traveling one didn't complain when I told her I hadn't brought her a present."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Wed Sep 03, 2014 1:42 pm

"I'd hope so." she chuckles. "So are you staying for the holidays?"

by **Kathleen McManus** » Wed Sep 03, 2014 1:45 pm

"Had planned on this being more of a spontaneous visit. Largely because surprising Sam is so rare. I could certainly extend my stay, though."
