Feb 23rd: The Long and Winding Road

by **Sara Stanton** » Tue Jun 08, 2010 3:14 pm

"Been a while?"

by **Will Stanton** » Tue Jun 08, 2010 3:26 pm

"Yeah. Too long, really."

by **Sara Stanton** » Tue Jun 08, 2010 3:53 pm

"It's okay. Looks like we'll have plenty of opportunities to find it in the future." she smiles.

by **Will Stanton** » Tue Jun 08, 2010 4:00 pm

"No, no, I'm sure I can find it--I promised you a lake, and dang it, I'm gonna find you a lake," he said looking around.

by **Sara Stanton** » Tue Jun 08, 2010 4:07 pm

"It's just a lake." she chuckles.

by **Will Stanton** » Tue Jun 08, 2010 4:12 pm

"Well, if'n your sure. I'm SURE I can find it, though...probably."

by **Sara Stanton** » Tue Jun 08, 2010 4:25 pm

"But how long is it gonna take to thaw us when we get back to the cabin afterwards?"

by **Will Stanton** » Tue Jun 08, 2010 4:30 pm

"Hrm, you know, that's something i've never tesargh I'm doing it again."

by **Sara Stanton** » Tue Jun 08, 2010 4:33 pm

"Well that one's my fault, really." she chuckles.

by **Will Stanton** » Tue Jun 08, 2010 4:40 pm

"Point, but still, bah. No thinking!" he said, whacking himself on the side of the head once.

by **Sara Stanton** » Tue Jun 08, 2010 4:42 pm

"Well a little thinking is okay."

by **Will Stanton** » Tue Jun 08, 2010 4:52 pm

"I'd do something clever like shrink down here, but then you'd have to carry me back," Will teased.

by **Sara Stanton** » Tue Jun 08, 2010 4:58 pm

"That's very considerate of you." she chuckles.

by **Will Stanton** » Tue Jun 08, 2010 5:07 pm

"So, instead," he said, suddenly rapidly gaining in size. "We'll do it this way," he said, scooping Sara up over his shoulder, stopping at about 15 feet tall.

by **Sara Stanton** » Tue Jun 08, 2010 5:14 pm

"Yiiiikes!" she laughs. "Okay, I think we can go looking for that lake afterall."

by **Will Stanton** » Tue Jun 08, 2010 5:17 pm

"Alright, tell me if you see it, way up there," Will laughed, as he trundled back down the path again.

by **Sara Stanton** » Tue Jun 08, 2010 5:22 pm

"I can see a couple more trees from here at least... Oh there's a big snowy rock over there!"

by **Will Stanton** » Tue Jun 08, 2010 5:29 pm

"Of course you'd notice the rock," Will teased.

by **Sara Stanton** » Tue Jun 08, 2010 5:33 pm

"Shaddap." she nudges the back of Will's head. "Just don't get us lost."

by **Will Stanton** » Tue Jun 08, 2010 5:39 pm

"Right...NOT lost, that would be good."

by **Sara Stanton** » Tue Jun 08, 2010 5:43 pm

"See? And now we know there's a big rock back there that we can try to find again." she chuckles.

by **Will Stanton** » Tue Jun 08, 2010 5:51 pm

"OK, you tell all your rock friends to keep us on path, then," he chuckled, walking around a bend.

by **Sara Stanton** » Tue Jun 08, 2010 5:54 pm

"Can do!" she snickers.

by **Will Stanton** » Tue Jun 08, 2010 6:24 pm

"Alright, it should be just past this ridge here..."

by **Sara Stanton** » Tue Jun 08, 2010 6:32 pm

"Set me down. I can walk the rest of the way."

by **Will Stanton** » Tue Jun 08, 2010 6:35 pm

"You sure? I dunno, wouldn't want you to strain yourself..." he chuckled.

by **Sara Stanton** » Tue Jun 08, 2010 6:42 pm

"Just lemme down already." she chuckles.

by **Will Stanton** » Tue Jun 08, 2010 8:03 pm

"Hrm?" Will said. "Well, alright," he added, shifting Sara around in his arms so she was upside-down, and continuing to walk.

by **Sara Stanton** » Wed Jun 09, 2010 2:11 am

"Will turn me around again!" she yelps out, sounding a little queasy despite her technically not having a stomach or anything that could be turned upside down.

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Jun 09, 2010 2:13 am

"Right, right, sorry," Will said, righting her and setting her down.

by **Sara Stanton** » Wed Jun 09, 2010 2:30 am

"Thanks... Guess some things don't entirely go away, stone or not..."

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Jun 09, 2010 2:33 am

"Residual feeling. I know when I'm things, I shouldn't FEEL like there's a stomach, but, well, there you go."

by **Sara Stanton** » Wed Jun 09, 2010 2:36 am

"That makes kind of sense..." she says, leaning against Will a little.

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Jun 09, 2010 2:40 am

"Your brain knows it should be there. I suppose, in theory, if you stayed in one form for long enough, it would stop processing those phantom signargh I'm doing it again."

by **Sara Stanton** » Wed Jun 09, 2010 2:43 am

"Just find us that lake. I'm fine as long as I'm right side up." she smiles.

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Jun 09, 2010 2:46 am

"Alright..."

And, much-longer-than-it-should-have-been-but-not-horrifically-long-later, Will found them yon frozen lake.

"Finally."

by **Sara Stanton** » Wed Jun 09, 2010 2:59 am

"Totally worth it." she grins, wiping a bit of snow off her head that had started to gather.

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Jun 09, 2010 3:20 am

"Yeah? It's quite nice...better when the water's actually, like, moving."

by **Sara Stanton** » Wed Jun 09, 2010 3:34 am

"It's beautiful in a different way." she smiles, hugging Will. "It's all quiet and still."

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Jun 09, 2010 3:53 am

"Yeah, I suppose that's good, too," he smiled. "I just like motion."
