Posted: Wed May 29, 2013 2:35 amAgainst her better judgement, Haley snuck up on her sleeping professor inhabiting her body, picked up a large book, and dropped it from height onto the desk top.

"Oh. It's you."
"Oh. It's you."

Re: I12: Some of Them Want to Abuse You
Posted: Wed May 29, 2013 2:45 am"Rambo?" Roland asked, sheathing the knife.

Haley plopped down unceremoniously in one of Roland's guest chairs. "You napping because you sleep like shit at night too, or because you're old?" she smirked.

Re: I12: Some of Them Want to Abuse You
Posted: Wed May 29, 2013 2:44 pm"Your mind is still old, even if its stuck in a ridiculously good-looking young body. So you're still an old man."

Posted: Wed May 29, 2013 3:42 pm"Nope. Neither of those apply any more. Check later."
Re: I12: Some of Them Want to Abuse You
Posted: Wed May 29, 2013 4:06 pm"Is this where I go into some lecture about respecting your elders then, if I'm the old man instead of you?"
Re: I12: Some of Them Want to Abuse You
Posted: Wed May 29, 2013 4:46 pm"Yeah, like that ever works."
Re: I12: Some of Them Want to Abuse You
Posted: Wed May 29, 2013 5:20 pm"So why do you guys keep doing it?" she laughed.
Re: I12: Some of Them Want to Abuse You
Posted: Wed May 29, 2013 5:48 pm"Because kids should listen, generally."
Re: I12: Some of Them Want to Abuse You
Posted: Wed May 29, 2013 7:17 pm"I guess," she shrugged.
"Tired of being a girl yet?"

Re: I12: Some of Them Want to Abuse You
Posted: Wed May 29, 2013 11:18 pm"Same I guess. This whole thing's been kinda weird, to say the least."
Haley left a moment of almost awkward silence.
"....It's been sorta cool seeing you in a new light though. I like our morning runs," she admitted.

Posted: Thu May 30, 2013 12:54 am"Really? Don't you like...hang out with the other teachers?"
Re: I12: Some of Them Want to Abuse You
Posted: Thu May 30, 2013 2:15 am"I don't get along very well with Professor Weaver, and that sours attempts with Professor McManus," Roland said.
Re: I12: Some of Them Want to Abuse You
Posted: Thu May 30, 2013 7:59 pm"Why does that sou....oh OH. I guess I never really put that one together," she said.
"What about Professor Weinrich, or Tommy's dad? Professor Miller?"

Posted: Thu May 30, 2013 8:03 pm"I think I terrified Professor Weinrich when I showed her my driving skills."
Re: I12: Some of Them Want to Abuse You
Posted: Thu May 30, 2013 8:53 pm"Did she tell you that she was terrified and never wanted to do anything ever again?"
Re: I12: Some of Them Want to Abuse You
Posted: Thu May 30, 2013 9:56 pm"Really hasn't spoken to me much since then."
Re: I12: Some of Them Want to Abuse You
Posted: Thu May 30, 2013 11:17 pm"How long ago was this? I mean. It's been a bit distracting with the whole 'everyone is in someone else' thing."
Re: I12: Some of Them Want to Abuse You
Posted: Fri May 31, 2013 12:25 am"Oh, just before all this happened. You know, kids aren't always the best at expressing themselves."
Re: I12: Some of Them Want to Abuse You
Posted: Fri May 31, 2013 1:10 am"Aren't always the...what? Changing the topic much?" she asked, confused.
Re: I12: Some of Them Want to Abuse You
Posted: Fri May 31, 2013 2:31 am"No, no, Weinrich. We're talking about Weinrich."
Re: I12: Some of Them Want to Abuse You
Posted: Fri May 31, 2013 8:09 am"...You calling her a kid, or me? Either way, you're one to talk about being bad at communicating. " she asked, confused.
Re: I12: Some of Them Want to Abuse You
Posted: Fri May 31, 2013 2:19 pm"Oh, her. Sorry...didn't mean to confuse you there."
Re: I12: Some of Them Want to Abuse You
Posted: Fri May 31, 2013 4:02 pm"She's a kid? She's gotta be like...30 at *least* and that's super old."
Re: I12: Some of Them Want to Abuse You
Posted: Fri May 31, 2013 5:44 pmRoland blinked, and then just laughed. "Oh, what fools you mortals be," she chuckled.
Re: I12: Some of Them Want to Abuse You
Posted: Fri May 31, 2013 10:24 pm"You gotta remember our...perspective is a bit different than you, King Tut.
Re: I12: Some of Them Want to Abuse You
Posted: Fri May 31, 2013 10:39 pm"Yeah. Hard to see the forest when your admist the trees. Nothing major between, say, you and Weinrich."
Re: I12: Some of Them Want to Abuse You
Posted: Fri May 31, 2013 10:57 pm"She's like. Twice my age. That seems pretty old to me."
Re: I12: Some of Them Want to Abuse You
Posted: Sat Jun 01, 2013 12:00 am"It's really not that big of a difference. At least, from my perspective. I mean, really -- I know people 10 times your age, and THEY need to grow up."
Re: I12: Some of Them Want to Abuse You
Posted: Sat Jun 01, 2013 12:02 am"Like. Super old people, or are there a whole bunch of you people who can't die?"
Re: I12: Some of Them Want to Abuse You
Posted: Sat Jun 01, 2013 12:16 am"Erm," she said, realizing she had slipped up. "You know...uh...super old people."
Re: I12: Some of Them Want to Abuse You
Posted: Sat Jun 01, 2013 12:28 pmHaley regarded him suspiciously. "There's more of you, aren't there?"
Re: I12: Some of Them Want to Abuse You
Posted: Sat Jun 01, 2013 1:09 pm"There's only one of me, that makes me special," she quoted.
Re: I12: Some of Them Want to Abuse You
Posted: Sat Jun 01, 2013 1:44 pmHaley regarded him suspiciously, unconvinced.
"So....assuming the worst thing happens, and we're stuck inside each other forever, does that mean you finally get to die of old age eventually, and then I live forever?"
