I10DT - The Horns of a Dilemma

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Jul 25, 2012 2:28 am

After classes had ended, Samantha entered the flat with a sigh, flopping down on the couch.

"I know that sigh. That's annoyance without the urgency of impending catastrophe." Nailah smirks faintly from the kitchen door.

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Jul 25, 2012 2:33 am

"Long day."

"Long, often bewildering day."

"I hear you. I have in my classes not only a certain Mr. Anderson but also the lovely Miss Raven Bludwynd." she says, pronouncing the name like it's something black and fuzzy crawling over her tongue.

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Jul 25, 2012 2:42 am

"Oh, her? She didn't seem too bothersome, when I talked to her."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Wed Jul 25, 2012 2:45 am

"She wears a pointy hat and asked about reading Anne Rice, Sam."

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Jul 25, 2012 2:48 am

"Seemed to me she's just experimenting a bit. Some do go a bit overboard, aye?"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Wed Jul 25, 2012 2:53 am

She sighs. "You're probably right." she's forced to admit.

"So what has you bewildered then?" she asks as she walks over and joins Sam on the couch.

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Jul 25, 2012 2:55 am

"I ran into our horned friend again."

"You know, the one who had to leave so suddenly when I came in the last time?"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Wed Jul 25, 2012 2:57 am

"Ah yes, her... Something strange about her, isn't there?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Jul 25, 2012 2:59 am

"I'm starting to suspect she's a bloody time traveler."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Wed Jul 25, 2012 3:02 am

"That'd explain why she's trying to be so elusive, but that's bit of a stretch..."

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Jul 25, 2012 3:06 am

"She seems to know me, but I don't know her. She says it'll all make sense, and in particular she's not lying to me."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Wed Jul 25, 2012 3:08 am

"Now that should seem familiar." she smirks faintly.

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Jul 25, 2012 3:11 am

"A little too, aye?"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Wed Jul 25, 2012 3:15 am

"I'm just saying, she could be a precog."

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Jul 25, 2012 3:17 am

"I almost hope that's the case. It would be a lot bloody simpler."

"Still if it is, her perspective seems a bit... off."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Wed Jul 25, 2012 3:22 am

"Sometimes it can be. Though if that was the case you'd think she'd ask for advice instead of running away from me."

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Jul 25, 2012 3:24 am

"...have you ever thought of getting married?" She asked, shifting gears without a clutch.

by **Nailah Weaver** » Wed Jul 25, 2012 3:28 am

Nailah blinks, actually caught off-guard for once.

"I... guess the thought has crossed my mind but where did that come from all of a sudden?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Jul 25, 2012 3:29 am

"Something she said, about keeping secrets. 'Ask your wife.'"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Wed Jul 25, 2012 3:34 am

"If she is talking about advance knowledge she might not be doing too great a job at following her own advice..." she says, in her own way acknowledging that marrying Sam would be something she could see happening.

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Jul 25, 2012 3:36 am

"This is what I meant by a warped perspective, aye?"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Wed Jul 25, 2012 3:41 am

"Okay, lets assume for a moment that she is a time-traveller... Why is she here? She's obviously trying to not make an impact."

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Jul 25, 2012 10:10 am

"At least on us, she is. That's all we can really observe, it seems."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Wed Jul 25, 2012 10:21 am

"Which seems odd. I'm not exactly a stranger to advance knowledge and she seems to know that."

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Jul 25, 2012 10:24 am

"Aye, and that's what led me to the assumption. It seemed... personal."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Wed Jul 25, 2012 10:31 am

"If this is you except from the future then you owe me one." she jokes.

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Jul 25, 2012 10:32 am

"There's a difference between knowing me and being me, love."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Wed Jul 25, 2012 10:35 am

"Most people who know you I don't mistake for being you in disguise though."

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Jul 25, 2012 10:35 am

"I'm still not quite sure I see it."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Wed Jul 25, 2012 10:48 am

"T'was more of a joke anyway. You'd be more straight-forward with me and, well, yourself."

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Jul 25, 2012 10:50 am

"Aye, and besides which the way she talked she was assuring me that she wasn't holding a grudge for anything I'd done."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Wed Jul 25, 2012 10:57 am

"So we just leave her be?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Jul 25, 2012 10:59 am

"I'm not sure what else we can do. You know me, and all these odd turns of phrase of hers make me want to pick at it, but she seems to be as honest as she can be with us."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Wed Jul 25, 2012 11:13 am

"As honest as she wants to be. I didn't get the sense of any timelines being threatened when I talked to her."

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Jul 25, 2012 11:15 am

"It doesn't seem... malicious."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Wed Jul 25, 2012 11:20 am

"I'm not saying it is. Just that she might be overly cautious."

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Jul 25, 2012 12:16 pm

"Aye. Have to wonder if she doesn't... slip, a bit."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Wed Jul 25, 2012 12:24 pm

"For not wanting to pry you're are pretty curious."
