Posted: Fri Jun 13, 2014 5:22 pm"Hey, you... have some time to talk?" She asks, nervously.
Re: I13DT - Ask Yo' Missus
Posted: Fri Jun 13, 2014 5:22 pm"Sure. Come on in."
Re: I13DT - Ask Yo' Missus
Posted: Fri Jun 13, 2014 5:23 pm"Tis Danice!" an excited Robin exclaims from where she's sitting on the floor surrounded by toys.

Posted: Fri Jun 13, 2014 5:24 pm"Hey there, Cutie," she smiles faintly as she steps in.
"It's... about Will."
"It's... about Will."

Posted: Fri Jun 13, 2014 5:25 pm"What's this now?"
Re: I13DT - Ask Yo' Missus
Posted: Fri Jun 13, 2014 5:27 pm"Okay, how much has he told you about the training we've been doing?"
Re: I13DT - Ask Yo' Missus
Posted: Fri Jun 13, 2014 5:33 pm"Not much, why? Has he gotten himself stuck again somehow?"
Re: I13DT - Ask Yo' Missus
Posted: 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."

Posted: 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."
Re: I13DT - Ask Yo' Missus
Posted: 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."

Re: I13DT - Ask Yo' Missus
Posted: 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."
Re: I13DT - Ask Yo' Missus
Posted: 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."
Re: I13DT - Ask Yo' Missus
Posted: 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."
Re: I13DT - Ask Yo' Missus
Posted: 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."
Re: I13DT - Ask Yo' Missus
Posted: 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."
Re: I13DT - Ask Yo' Missus
Posted: 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.
Re: I13DT - Ask Yo' Missus
Posted: Fri Jun 13, 2014 7:07 pm"Seems like that's part of what's freaking him out."
Re: I13DT - Ask Yo' Missus
Posted: Fri Jun 13, 2014 7:15 pm"Yeah. I know." she sighs.
Re: I13DT - Ask Yo' Missus
Posted: Fri Jun 13, 2014 7:19 pm"Hey, ah... I was actually going to ask you something about the next prank."
Re: I13DT - Ask Yo' Missus
Posted: Fri Jun 13, 2014 7:20 pm"Oh?"
Re: I13DT - Ask Yo' Missus
Posted: 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."
Re: I13DT - Ask Yo' Missus
Posted: Fri Jun 13, 2014 7:43 pm"Ooh! That's a good one!"
Re: I13DT - Ask Yo' Missus
Posted: 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."
Re: I13DT - Ask Yo' Missus
Posted: Fri Jun 13, 2014 7:51 pm"Oh totally!" she chuckles. "Just be careful, he likes stealing her nose."
Re: I13DT - Ask Yo' Missus
Posted: 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."

Re: I13DT - Ask Yo' Missus
Posted: 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."
Re: I13DT - Ask Yo' Missus
Posted: Fri Jun 13, 2014 8:44 pm"Could maybe fake it, though."
Re: I13DT - Ask Yo' Missus
Posted: Fri Jun 13, 2014 8:49 pm"Maybe. Guess that's something to talk to her about then."
Re: I13DT - Ask Yo' Missus
Posted: 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."
Re: I13DT - Ask Yo' Missus
Posted: 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."
Re: I13DT - Ask Yo' Missus
Posted: Fri Jun 13, 2014 9:24 pmShe winces.
"So basically the only way to childproof something is for it to be locked away."

Re: I13DT - Ask Yo' Missus
Posted: Mon Jun 16, 2014 12:33 pm"Okay, that... I don't know how to child-proof for."
Re: I13DT - Ask Yo' Missus
Posted: 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."
Re: I13DT - Ask Yo' Missus
Posted: Mon Jun 16, 2014 12:39 pm"That's a relief, then. I'm glad it's working out for you."
Re: I13DT - Ask Yo' Missus
Posted: 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."

Posted: Mon Jun 16, 2014 12:57 pm"I guess that's another reason it's good that he's working on his powers, huh?"
