I10DT - Remembering

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Apr 20, 2012 12:15 pm

Ms. McManus was walking the grounds, a bit away from the devastation. It was not too long before they had to leave, and she had a wistful look on her face.

"You know, I used to dream about coming here." she says, trying to distract Sam a little from everything that must be weighing on her mind right now.

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Apr 20, 2012 12:23 pm

"I miss it sometimes, you know? They weren't all bad times."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Fri Apr 20, 2012 12:25 pm

"I'd hope so." she smiles faintly. "Especially with how you tend to talk about them."

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Apr 20, 2012 12:38 pm

"It was the best place I could have been, at the time."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Fri Apr 20, 2012 12:41 pm

"I can only imagine. Things were bad for me when the wings and all the fur started growing but at least it was stable."

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Apr 20, 2012 12:44 pm

"And now everyone's grown up, moved on, changed. I suppose I'm as guilty of that as any."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Fri Apr 20, 2012 12:48 pm

"And that's good. Nostalgia is nice but no one actually wants to be stuck in the past."

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Apr 20, 2012 12:49 pm

"Aye. Things were simpler then, but not necessarily easier."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Fri Apr 20, 2012 12:52 pm

"We grow with our problems. Or maybe they just grow with us." she chuckles weakly.

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Apr 20, 2012 1:21 pm

"Almost depressing to think of how little I get to see my old classmates."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Fri Apr 20, 2012 1:34 pm

"Maybe that'll change now that there's talk about tieing the two schools closer together."

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Apr 20, 2012 1:38 pm

"For some of them, aye. Not all of them ended up back here."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Fri Apr 20, 2012 1:57 pm

"Well, that's why people have highschool reunions."

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Apr 20, 2012 2:28 pm

"Imagine for a moment what mine would look like," she smirked.

by **Nailah Weaver** » Fri Apr 20, 2012 2:38 pm

"Terrifying." she chuckles.

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Apr 20, 2012 2:50 pm

"Not many of us went on to small lives, though quite a few went on to strange ones."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Fri Apr 20, 2012 2:53 pm

"Seems like most of us are destined for strangeness."

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Apr 20, 2012 4:20 pm

"You being the one who believes in destiny, aye?"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Fri Apr 20, 2012 4:27 pm

"To a certain degree..."

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Apr 20, 2012 4:31 pm

"The irony of complaining about time travelers that know my future while dating a precog isn't lost on me."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Fri Apr 20, 2012 4:33 pm

"Well to some degree a lot of futures are open to us. A lot of them close every second too but there's always... prominent ones, I suppose."

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Apr 20, 2012 4:39 pm

"Simply struck me funny, just now."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Fri Apr 20, 2012 4:54 pm

"Well, time-travellers are bound to be more obnoxious. To them the future is what happens." she chuckles.

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Apr 20, 2012 4:55 pm

"Aye, and they're always so bloody smug about it."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Fri Apr 20, 2012 4:58 pm

"Wouldn't you be if you had to deal with the uppity past pretending things might go different?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Apr 20, 2012 5:10 pm

"As opposed to the uppity future, who has decided they already know you?"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Fri Apr 20, 2012 5:16 pm

"Well from the perspective of the past they can still split off to a different path, though we won't notice if they do. I'll admit it's complicated and head-ache inducing."

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Apr 20, 2012 5:30 pm

"Aye. Best not pondered."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Fri Apr 20, 2012 5:41 pm

"Sometimes there's no way around it, but yes."

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Apr 20, 2012 5:44 pm

"So what have you been up to, while I held off the bureaucratic hordes?"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Fri Apr 20, 2012 5:58 pm

"I mainly took the chance to take a look around the fabled Institute. And I talked to the former horseman of war..."

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Apr 20, 2012 6:02 pm

"Now that I wouldn't have expected of you, given your past with him."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Fri Apr 20, 2012 6:20 pm

"Things have changed since then."

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Apr 20, 2012 6:25 pm

"I didn't think that would make you more tolerant of what he's done."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Fri Apr 20, 2012 6:41 pm

"It showed me how easy it can be to slip and fall, even get used to it."

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Apr 20, 2012 6:43 pm

"Suppose that's true. What did you talk about?"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Fri Apr 20, 2012 6:50 pm

"I wanted to hear what he had to say for himself. I was... pleasantly surprised to find him accepting his guilt in this and admitting he joined Apocalypse somewhat willingly."

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Apr 20, 2012 6:51 pm

"That doesn't exactly make my job in all this easy though, aye?"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Fri Apr 20, 2012 7:05 pm

"No, but I have to give him credit for feeling regret and not having given himself up. It's more than there was before."
