Do Not Fold, Spindle, or Mutilate

A paper airplane flitted through an open window in the gym, landing perfectly in one of the trash cans.

About ten seconds later, the trashcan fell over, and Will Stanton tumbled out.

"OK; that was dumb."

((open))

"The fuck?" Sidney says, blinking as she stands frozen in front of one of the punching bags.

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Oct 16, 2013 4:05 pm

"Hey. How's it going," Will said, dusting himself off. "Working out?"

by **Sidney Young** » Wed Oct 16, 2013 4:06 pm

"Yeah? And who are you? The garbage man?"

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Oct 16, 2013 5:31 pm

"Heh, yeah. That's me; the garbage man.

Will Stanton. Pleased to meet 'ya."

by **Sidney Young** » Wed Oct 16, 2013 5:51 pm

"I'm Sid. So, you got the power of garbage." she asks, apparently having missed Will landing in the trash can.

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Oct 16, 2013 6:00 pm

"Hrm? Oh, no, no, I'm a shifter."

by **Sidney Young** » Wed Oct 16, 2013 6:14 pm

"So you just decided to be garbage." she chuckles.

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Oct 16, 2013 6:20 pm

"No, for that you can blame our eminently qualified headmistress."

by **Sidney Young** » Wed Oct 16, 2013 6:21 pm

"That's some headmistress... You piss her off or something?"

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Oct 16, 2013 6:38 pm

"She's...not herself at the moment.

I may have pushed some buttons."

by **Sidney Young** » Wed Oct 16, 2013 6:57 pm

"Hope it was worth it then." she laughs. Gotta respect a good prank.

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Oct 16, 2013 7:34 pm

"Eh. I may need to try again later," Will shrugged. "She's not going to get rid of me that easily."

by **Sidney Young** » Wed Oct 16, 2013 7:37 pm

"Tenacious! I like it."

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Oct 16, 2013 7:42 pm

"As Tenacious as the fourth letter of the alphabet."

by **Sidney Young** » Wed Oct 16, 2013 7:49 pm

"Hah! Rock on!" she grins.

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Oct 16, 2013 8:12 pm

"Just trying to make the world a happier and more surreal place."

by **Sidney Young** » Wed Oct 16, 2013 8:23 pm

"Well you got the surreal part down, Trash Man." she laughs.

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Oct 16, 2013 8:34 pm

"Second time I've ended up there. I DO try to avoid that, but the headmistress is...persuasive, when she wants to be."

by **Sidney Young** » Wed Oct 16, 2013 10:05 pm

"If you ask me if people keep tossing you in the garbage you're doin' something right."

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Oct 17, 2013 12:32 am

"You should try it sometime. Not always as pleasant as you think it would be," he said, with a slight hitch in his voice.

"Man my roommate would freak if I walk in smelling like garbage." she says, her tone suggesting that she seems to at least be contemplating it.

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Oct 17, 2013 1:38 pm

"Well, um, I mean, be my guest?"

by **Sidney Young** » Thu Oct 17, 2013 1:45 pm

"Nah... Not worth actually smelling like garbage, I guess. May just some mud..."

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Oct 17, 2013 2:40 pm

"...um, alright? There's plenty of mud around."

by **Sidney Young** » Thu Oct 17, 2013 2:41 pm

"Oh hey, right, sorry, got a little distracted there. What were we talking about?"

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Oct 17, 2013 2:42 pm

"I'm...not quite sure?"

by **Sidney Young** » Thu Oct 17, 2013 2:44 pm

"Cool. So what do you do when you're not being turned into garbage?"

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Oct 17, 2013 2:54 pm

"I lead the X-Teams. I act, I write, I play music. I hang out in various places, watching the world go by.

I annoy the headmistress."

by **Sidney Young** » Thu Oct 17, 2013 2:59 pm

"Oh wow, you're the head of the ass-kicking squad?"

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Oct 17, 2013 3:01 pm

"It's more of a team effort, if I'm honest."

by **Sidney Young** » Thu Oct 17, 2013 3:17 pm

"So?"

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Oct 17, 2013 5:16 pm

"So....I mean, I guess I am the leader, but I don't want to talk all the credit? I couldn't do it without some of these other guys?"

by **Sidney Young** » Thu Oct 17, 2013 5:26 pm

"Well yeah, that's why it's the ass-kicking squad. You're not big on taking any credit, huh?"

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Oct 17, 2013 5:28 pm

"They've saved my ass several times, and vice versa. It's really not a matter of who's in front and who's in the rear."

by **Sidney Young** » Thu Oct 17, 2013 5:48 pm

"Pff, yeah, sure, I bet they just promote any chump to that. But hey, you're the expert, Trash Man."

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Oct 17, 2013 7:44 pm

"They kinda do," Will chuckled. "I don't have, like, years of experience or something."

by **Sidney Young** » Thu Oct 17, 2013 9:04 pm

"Pff, some people just got it and some don't."

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Oct 17, 2013 9:25 pm

"And some of us stake out the garbage dumps."

by **Sidney Young** » Thu Oct 17, 2013 10:00 pm

"Lots of garbage smuggling happening in Maldon?"
