Drip...Drip...Drip

Will had been brought in with the others after rescuing Allison, but left the medics scratching their heads. The ice sword had left Will more or less frozen solid--he wasn't harmed in anyway, as far as they could tell, but there wasn't much they could do for him--none of their tools were precisely designed to work on ice.

What they eventually decided to do was to just set Will somewhere warm for him to thaw out naturally. To facilitate this, they wheeled him into one of the rooms under the lighthouse, where the natural heat of the cliff and the computers would create a safe environment for him. Will stood there, with a puddle of water slowly dripping off of him in one of the electronic rooms.

Ashlie bursts through the door making sounds that are reminiscent of an angry modem.

"What are you doing here?"

by **Will Stanton** » Sat Aug 30, 2014 1:03 pm

Will didn't turn to look. "Ch-ch-chilling out?"

by **ASHLIE** » Sat Aug 30, 2014 3:44 pm

"You're dripping water all over the server room. This is unacceptable."

by **Will Stanton** » Sat Aug 30, 2014 3:50 pm

"I d-d-didn't have much s-s-s-ay in the matter."

"Water and electronics do not interact well." she says as if talking to a child. "I will have to remove you to maintain the integrity of the servers." she adds as she walks over.

"I've seen Wizard of Oz, I know how that w-w-w-orks..."

by **ASHLIE** » Sat Aug 30, 2014 4:40 pm

"There is no server farm in the Wizard of Oz." she says as she starts to drag him up out of the room.

"Won't you freeze up if I drip on you though? Tin woodsman?"

Will's hands actually seemed to be somewhat missing, having melted into a puddle at his feet.

"This unit is constructed to withstand regular atmospheric conditions, which includes heavy rain. Unless you intend to submerge me in water I will be fine."

by **Will Stanton** » Sat Aug 30, 2014 5:17 pm

"I w-w-wasn't planning on it. How do you k-keep it clean?"

by **ASHLIE** » Sat Aug 30, 2014 5:43 pm

"I remove the plating and pressure clean them when I perform maintenance."

by **Will Stanton** » Sat Aug 30, 2014 5:50 pm

"S-s-s-sounds f-f-f-un."

Will definitely was beginning to look a little distorted from the heat of the servers

"Do you require a bucket?" she says, noticing the trail of water Will's leaving behind as she drags him out of the room and up the stairs.

by **Will Stanton** » Sat Aug 30, 2014 6:18 pm

"I-OW-don't-OW-know-OW" Will said, as ASHLIE roughly thumped him up the stairs. "I'll p-p-probably be OK."

by **ASHLIE** » Sat Aug 30, 2014 10:08 pm

"How high a probability?" she asks, dragging him into the lobby of the Lighthouse and propping him up against the wall.

"I dunno, I've never been stabbed with a magical ice-sword before. Not sure HOW I would have done that."

by **ASHLIE** » Sat Aug 30, 2014 10:29 pm

"There's no such thing as magic. Her sword must have been constructed from a rare metal with unusual thermic properties."

by **Will Stanton** » Sat Aug 30, 2014 10:31 pm

"You were there. You saw everything! That was a magic-cold sword."

by **ASHLIE** » Sat Aug 30, 2014 10:37 pm

"Don't be ridiculous. If you hadn't left it there I'm sure a thorough analysis of it's molecular structure would have explained it's freezing ability."

by **Will Stanton** » Sat Aug 30, 2014 10:44 pm

"Sure didn't FEEL scientific. You try getting stabbed with it and tell me it's not magic! How else would it have turned me to ice?"

Interestingly, the puddle seemed to be attaching itself to what was left of Will's feet--he was definitely beginning to lose form at this point.

"You are being irrational. Likely because you were stabbed."

by **Will Stanton** » Sat Aug 30, 2014 11:37 pm

"You never believe in anything irrational?"

by **ASHLIE** » Sun Aug 31, 2014 10:36 am

"Belief is no excuse for being irrational."

by **Will Stanton** » Sun Aug 31, 2014 11:23 am

"No belief in a higher power?" Will asked, by now quite deformed.

by **ASHLIE** » Sun Aug 31, 2014 11:38 am

"Higher powers exist, whether I believe in them or not."

by **Will Stanton** » Sun Aug 31, 2014 11:41 am

"I'm surprised you don't find that irrational."

by **ASHLIE** » Sun Aug 31, 2014 11:48 am

"The Phoenix lives on this campus. It is not very irrational to acknowledge her existence."

by **Will Stanton** » Sun Aug 31, 2014 11:52 am

"But her divinity?"

by **ASHLIE** » Sun Aug 31, 2014 11:59 am

"How do you define divinity?"

by **Will Stanton** » Sun Aug 31, 2014 12:10 pm

"Y'know...divinity! Possessing divine attributes."

by **ASHLIE** » Sun Aug 31, 2014 2:00 pm

"That sounds like a tautology."

by **Will Stanton** » Sun Aug 31, 2014 2:43 pm

"Being, you know. God-like."

by **ASHLIE** » Sun Aug 31, 2014 3:17 pm

"It appears her status as a 'deity' depends on whether people believe her to be one in the first place."

by **Will Stanton** » Sun Aug 31, 2014 3:18 pm

"That's not very useful," Will complained, now melting at a visibly increasing rate.

by **ASHLIE** » Sun Aug 31, 2014 3:22 pm

"It has more practical applications than your definition. That is to say, it has one."

by **Will Stanton** » Sun Aug 31, 2014 3:38 pm

"I wish there was just a pretty clear switch," he said.

Then he said "Woah!" because one leg had melted enough for him to fall over.

by **ASHLIE** » Sun Aug 31, 2014 3:56 pm

"It appears you are melting instead of thawing out. Is that a problem?"

by **Will Stanton** » Sun Aug 31, 2014 3:57 pm

"I...don't know?"

by **ASHLIE** » Sun Aug 31, 2014 4:00 pm

"I will get a bucket." she says and walks off. After a while she comes back with a large metal feed bucket and lifts Will's remains into it.
