I13DT - Ask Yo' Missus

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Fri Jun 13, 2014 5:19 pm

Because she's terrible at following directions, Janice knocks on the door to Will and Sara's apartment, hoping Sara is in.

by **Sara Stanton** » Fri Jun 13, 2014 5:22 pm

After a moment Sara opens the door. "Oh, hi Janice."

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Fri Jun 13, 2014 5:22 pm

"Hey, you... have some time to talk?" She asks, nervously.

by **Sara Stanton** » Fri Jun 13, 2014 5:22 pm

"Sure. Come on in."

by **Robin Stanton** » Fri Jun 13, 2014 5:23 pm

"Tis Danice!" an excited Robin exclaims from where she's sitting on the floor surrounded by toys.

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Fri Jun 13, 2014 5:24 pm

"Hey there, Cutie," she smiles faintly as she steps in.

"It's... about Will."

by **Sara Stanton** » Fri Jun 13, 2014 5:25 pm

"What's this now?"

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Fri Jun 13, 2014 5:27 pm

"Okay, how much has he told you about the training we've been doing?"

by **Sara Stanton** » Fri Jun 13, 2014 5:33 pm

"Not much, why? Has he gotten himself stuck again somehow?"

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Fri Jun 13, 2014 5:34 pm

"No, no."

"If anything, it's kind of turned into a little prank war between us. Good fun."

"He just seems to think you'd be angry if you found out about it, and I've no idea why."

by **Sara Stanton** » Fri Jun 13, 2014 5:40 pm

"He's been... a bit touchy about it lately. He ran into Cecil in the sauna and he made some terrible comments and he feels he's weirded out Professor McManus. He thinks people are uncomfortable with the things he does."

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Fri Jun 13, 2014 5:43 pm

"Well he said to me that especially after the bit with him getting... er... cooked? That you knowing about this might make you angry."

"And... I don't know. I didn't feel good thinking I was keeping something from you. All we're doing is trying different things with his shapeshifting, and that's pretty much what the pranks have been too."

by **Sara Stanton** » Fri Jun 13, 2014 6:01 pm

"You mean when Altamira didn't bother to ask for permission to make muffins out of him? Because yeah, I got angry about that."

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Fri Jun 13, 2014 6:04 pm

"Yeah, and Will seems to think you don't see any difference between that and this training stuff."

by **Sara Stanton** » Fri Jun 13, 2014 6:11 pm

"What? Oh for the love of... You would think he would talk to me about these things. He has zero filters for what's creepy and what is goofy, I swear. You tell him Nina turning him into a jar of eye-filled goo is creepy and he worries that people think he's a freak for a week. With the Black Air stuff on top of that he's been in a vulnerable spot."

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Fri Jun 13, 2014 6:22 pm

"It's all been really, really harmless. Some of it he comes up with, some of it I come up with, but so massively innocent there's worse stuff in cartoons."

by **Sara Stanton** » Fri Jun 13, 2014 6:29 pm

"He's worried I'll get jealous. And, if I'm perfectly honest, I am a little bit. But that's my fault, not his or yours."

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Fri Jun 13, 2014 6:32 pm

"You could do this stuff with him, too. I think the only reason he's not is he's assuming you don't want to, or don't like it."

by **Sara Stanton** » Fri Jun 13, 2014 7:05 pm

"It's not that I don't want to, but I don't like it nearly as much as he does and he knows." she smiles weakly.

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Fri Jun 13, 2014 7:07 pm

"Seems like that's part of what's freaking him out."

by **Sara Stanton** » Fri Jun 13, 2014 7:15 pm

"Yeah. I know." she sighs.

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Fri Jun 13, 2014 7:19 pm

"Hey, ah... I was actually going to ask you something about the next prank."

by **Sara Stanton** » Fri Jun 13, 2014 7:20 pm

"Oh?"

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Fri Jun 13, 2014 7:22 pm

"Yeah, I've been working with a newish student who's a shapeshifter on these. Since, you know, I can't turn into anything interesting. We were thinking for the next one she could pretend to be Robin and convince Will she'd suddenly learned a bunch of new words."

by **Sara Stanton** » Fri Jun 13, 2014 7:43 pm

"Ooh! That's a good one!"

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Fri Jun 13, 2014 7:50 pm

"Yeah, we just thought it'd be more convincing if we got her mum's permission first. It works better if you're in on it."

by **Sara Stanton** » Fri Jun 13, 2014 7:51 pm

"Oh totally!" she chuckles. "Just be careful, he likes stealing her nose."

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Fri Jun 13, 2014 8:33 pm

"See, that could be pretty literal..."

"Anyway, I'll tell Laura to get in touch with you about getting Robin's form down."

by **Sara Stanton** » Fri Jun 13, 2014 8:43 pm

"Well yes. That's the problem." she chuckles. "I think Laura probably doesn't appreciate having her nose pulled off."

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Fri Jun 13, 2014 8:44 pm

"Could maybe fake it, though."

by **Sara Stanton** » Fri Jun 13, 2014 8:49 pm

"Maybe. Guess that's something to talk to her about then."

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Fri Jun 13, 2014 9:16 pm

"She says it's good practice, since she's working on being able to size-shift for longer."

by **Sara Stanton** » Fri Jun 13, 2014 9:20 pm

"Oddly enough, so is Robin. She's figured out that she can reach the counter if she makes her arms longer."

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Fri Jun 13, 2014 9:24 pm

She winces.

"So basically the only way to childproof something is for it to be locked away."

by **Sara Stanton** » Fri Jun 13, 2014 9:37 pm

"If it's tight enough. She can ooze into the bottom cabinets. I found her sleeping in one of the big cooking pots once. Eventually anyway, that was not a fun hour or so."

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Mon Jun 16, 2014 12:33 pm

"Okay, that... I don't know how to child-proof for."

by **Sara Stanton** » Mon Jun 16, 2014 12:37 pm

"It's alright, you get used to it. We got special sieves to put in all the sinks and such, no dangerous things except in the hanging cupboards. Most of the time it's just cute."

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Mon Jun 16, 2014 12:39 pm

"That's a relief, then. I'm glad it's working out for you."

by **Sara Stanton** » Mon Jun 16, 2014 12:42 pm

"It helps that Will can just go around and test these things. But it took a while to stop worrying all the time."

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Mon Jun 16, 2014 12:57 pm

"I guess that's another reason it's good that he's working on his powers, huh?"
