I10DT: Can I get, like, a bandaid?

by **Roland Sackville** » Fri May 25, 2012 5:39 am

Roland walked into the infirmary, chuckling, his coat wrapped around his left hand.

"Anyone around?"

((open))

Ms. McManus was returning from one of her latest monitoring sessions with Isabel when she spotted Roland.

"Why Roland, you're the last I'd have thought would need the infirmary."

by **Roland Sackville** » Thu May 31, 2012 3:13 pm

"Just getting a wrapping. I'm not Logan, you know."

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu May 31, 2012 3:40 pm

"And what adventure did you manage to get into?"

by **Roland Sackville** » Thu May 31, 2012 3:56 pm

"Oh, I'd hardly call anything that happens around here an adventure, per se."

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu May 31, 2012 4:08 pm

"So you're telling me that the tomatoes won," she smirked.

by **Roland Sackville** » Thu May 31, 2012 4:12 pm

"I didn't think we had tomatoes in these parts. Too cold, and blustery."

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu May 31, 2012 4:21 pm

"They ship them in from California. Dreadful, anemic things."

by **Roland Sackville** » Thu May 31, 2012 4:24 pm

"Now, if you want good tomatoes, you need to head towards Italy. That's where we do it."

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu May 31, 2012 6:03 pm

"Isn't a bit of a recent import for you?" She chuckled.

by **Roland Sackville** » Thu May 31, 2012 6:44 pm

"Yes, because when you get old, you lose the ability to accurately judge time."

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Jun 01, 2012 6:42 pm

"I meant in the grand scheme of things."

by **Roland Sackville** » Sat Jun 02, 2012 5:46 am

"Something I've noticed -- there IS no grand scheme of things. There's just a bunch of things that happen, sometimes related."

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Jun 04, 2012 2:28 pm

"A series of only vaguely connected events, aye?"

by **Roland Sackville** » Mon Jun 04, 2012 2:37 pm

"That the human brain tries to piece together a puzzle about and, the brain being the amazing tool it is, we usually succeed."

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Jun 04, 2012 2:41 pm

"I suppose I can accept that we bring our own meaning. For what it's worth."

by **Roland Sackville** » Mon Jun 04, 2012 2:47 pm

"The story is nothing without the reader, someone once said.

...I think."

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Jun 04, 2012 2:48 pm

"That's the beauty of 'someone once said,' aye? Someone just did."

by **Roland Sackville** » Mon Jun 04, 2012 3:30 pm

"And perhaps did before hand! It's hard to remember sometimes. Just assume I've always been witty and wise, and leave it at that."

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Jun 04, 2012 4:42 pm

"Suppose there aren't any that saw your teenage years to say otherwise."

by **Roland Sackville** » Mon Jun 04, 2012 4:48 pm

"Don't be so sure."

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Jun 04, 2012 5:05 pm

"Should I go on a quest for jilted lovers?"

by **Roland Sackville** » Mon Jun 04, 2012 5:31 pm

"I wouldn't call him jilted. I'd call him unfortunately still alive."

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Jun 04, 2012 5:32 pm

"Ah, is this about the fellow that's been waxed about poetically?"

by **Roland Sackville** » Mon Jun 04, 2012 5:53 pm

"There's a poem or two, yes. In Egypt's sandy silence, all alone, stands a gigantic leg, which far off throws the only shadow that the desert knows."

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Jun 04, 2012 5:53 pm

"Look upon his works, ye mighty."

by **Roland Sackville** » Mon Jun 04, 2012 5:56 pm

"That's the other one, but aye."

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Jun 04, 2012 6:08 pm

"Aye, though given your manner I might have thought you'd prefer the Shelley."

by **Roland Sackville** » Mon Jun 04, 2012 6:17 pm

"My...manner, was it?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Jun 04, 2012 6:19 pm

"You seem like you might have gotten along with him."

by **Roland Sackville** » Tue Jun 05, 2012 8:01 am

"I wasn't around at the same time as him, so I'm afraid I never met the man."

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Jun 05, 2012 11:26 am

"Ah well. Just passing curiosity, I suppose."

by **Roland Sackville** » Tue Jun 05, 2012 11:48 am

"I'm sure with all the time travel shenanigans you lot get into, you'll meet him someday."

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Jun 05, 2012 11:49 am

She snorted.

"Pass. I think I'm content living time forwards."

by **Roland Sackville** » Tue Jun 05, 2012 11:55 am

"You'll never make Merlin with an attitude like that."

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Jun 05, 2012 11:59 am

"He just had to be different."

by **Roland Sackville** » Tue Jun 05, 2012 12:09 pm

"He did indeed. Bit of a know it all, too."

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Jun 05, 2012 12:12 pm

"Same sort of wise-arsery you get from time travelers, I'd imagine."

by **Roland Sackville** » Tue Jun 05, 2012 12:21 pm

"I would have thought you'd have a higher tolerance for that sort of thing."

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Jun 05, 2012 12:31 pm

"I don't suppose you know how my sister lost her hair?"
