Issue 1 Downtime

Miranda was hanging out with Kay in the Danger Room, resting on Kay's beach program and sunning in the not-sun of the Danger Room. "Did you ever think about leaving here?"

Posted: **Sat Oct 25, 2014 5:00 pm**

"Like, for a vacation?" she asks, looking up from where she's lieing at the edge of the water.

Posted: **Sat Oct 25, 2014 5:07 pm**

"Sure," Miranda said, adjusting her position to make her wings more comfortable.

Posted: **Sat Oct 25, 2014 5:48 pm**

"I am kinda curious about Europe and stuff... It'd be neat to see more of the world than just Maldon."

Posted: **Sat Oct 25, 2014 5:52 pm**

Miranda nodded thoughtfully. "You ever think about what you'll be doing once you're through with school?"

Posted: **Sat Oct 25, 2014 6:03 pm**

"Hmm... Not really. I'm not really good at anything but drawing silly stuff and I don't think anybody's gonna pay me for that..."

Posted: **Sat Oct 25, 2014 6:04 pm**

"You'd probably be surprised, and you're better at drawing than you give yourself credit for."

Posted: **Sat Oct 25, 2014 8:03 pm**

"Maybe. But there's lots of people who try to do that, so maybe I should do something safer..."

Posted: **Sat Oct 25, 2014 8:10 pm**

"If you can't do what you love doing, what's the point of doing anything else?"

Posted: **Sat Oct 25, 2014 8:20 pm**

"I dunno. My dad hates working at the factory but he does it anyway."

Posted: **Sat Oct 25, 2014 8:52 pm**

Miranda frowned, wanting to comment, but not wanting to start a fight by badmouthing Kay's family. "You have some possibilities, all I'm saying is you should chase them."

Posted: **Sat Oct 25, 2014 9:06 pm**

"Well yeah, I mean I definitely don't wanna end up like my dad..."

Posted: **Sat Oct 25, 2014 9:20 pm**

"I don't really think you have to worry about that specific outcome."

Posted: **Sat Oct 25, 2014 9:24 pm**

"Well no, but still... You're right, I should do something I enjoy."

Posted: **Sat Oct 25, 2014 10:38 pm**

"Everyone should, but I realize I'm a raging idealist."

Posted: **Sat Oct 25, 2014 10:48 pm**

She snickers. "Yeah, but you make a lot of sense too."

Posted: **Sat Oct 25, 2014 10:49 pm**

"Tell that to Mom," she said with a shrug.

Posted: **Sat Oct 25, 2014 11:06 pm**

"Yeah, well, your mom is kinda weird sometimes. And, like, super strict."

Posted: **Sun Oct 26, 2014 10:10 am**

"Majoring on the weird lately. I didn't say this, but there are times I regret agreeing to the legal parent thing."

Posted: **Sun Oct 26, 2014 10:21 am**

"Really? That bad?" she asks, sitting up in the surf and looking over at Miranda.

Posted: **Sun Oct 26, 2014 10:37 am**

"There are times. It's not all bad, mind you," Miranda said without looking over. "But yeah... there's just some things." She shook her head. "I'm sorry, I'm ruining the evening."

Posted: **Sun Oct 26, 2014 10:46 am**

"No, it's alright. I'm just sorry to hear that, I guess..."

Posted: **Sun Oct 26, 2014 10:52 am**

"And it feels really shitty to say when you've had so much trouble with your family."

Posted: **Sun Oct 26, 2014 11:05 am**

"I got a new family here though." she smiles. "I'd rather have everyone here than my actual family."

Posted: **Sun Oct 26, 2014 11:28 am**

"There are some pretty cool people here," Miranda agreed.

Posted: **Sun Oct 26, 2014 12:22 pm**

"I should know. I'm hanging out with one right now." she smiles.

Posted: **Sun Oct 26, 2014 12:51 pm**

Miranda made a dismissive noise. "I'm not that cool."

Posted: **Sun Oct 26, 2014 1:01 pm**

"Oh yeah, you can only see into other places and stuff and fly. Well, you probably will eventually? But your wings make you look awesome either way. All mysterious and intriguing."

Posted: **Sun Oct 26, 2014 1:38 pm**

Miranda 'looked away' at the comment about flying, "There's very little mysterious about me."

Posted: **Sun Oct 26, 2014 2:01 pm**

"Are you alright? You're all mopey... Is it something I said?"

Posted: **Sun Oct 26, 2014 2:21 pm**

"No, I'm not alright, but you're fine. Sorry I'm being such a wet blanket."

Posted: **Sun Oct 26, 2014 2:27 pm**

"You're not a wet blanket. Besides, I like water. What's wrong?"

Posted: **Sun Oct 26, 2014 2:38 pm**

She seemed to spend some time debating. "I managed flying a few times, but..." She sighed, "My wings aren't working anymore. I can still move them, they don't hurt or anything, I just can't make them work."

Posted: **Sun Oct 26, 2014 2:56 pm**

"Really? That sucks... Did you lose too many feathers or something? Or maybe you gotta build up more muscles for them?" she says, scooting over to Miranda.

Posted: **Sun Oct 26, 2014 2:59 pm**

"I don't know. And after a bit, I just sort of stopped caring. Probably just something like my eyes where they were busted to begin with."

Posted: **Sun Oct 26, 2014 3:04 pm**

"That sucks. Have you had them checked out?"

Posted: **Sun Oct 26, 2014 3:06 pm**

Miranda shook her head, "I'm tired of being poked and prodded."

Posted: **Sun Oct 26, 2014 3:12 pm**

"Hmm, yeah. I was just thinking that maybe they're not completely busted."

Posted: **Sun Oct 26, 2014 3:23 pm**

"Maybe. Flying wasn't something I'd gotten used to though, so it's not a big deal."

Posted: **Sun Oct 26, 2014 3:28 pm**

"If you say so..." she says, running her hand over Miranda's wing.
