May 25th: Stanton Residence

"I just thought I'd try to go without it for a while, that's all!"

by **Sara Stanton** » Thu Mar 10, 2011 3:39 am

"But why? You love shifting!"

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Mar 10, 2011 3:44 am

"If I loved jumping off bridges, that still doesn't mean I shouldn't not do it, right?"

by **Sara Stanton** » Thu Mar 10, 2011 3:45 am

"That doesn't even make any sense. How exactly is shifting like jumping off a bridge?"

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Mar 10, 2011 3:48 am

"Doesn't have to make sense," he mumbled, still moving around.

by **Sara Stanton** » Thu Mar 10, 2011 5:07 am

"Will come on, talk to me. Please."

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Mar 10, 2011 5:24 am

"About what? Not everything is a group discussion. I can make some decisions myself," he snapped, turning around, his eyes a little red, and not from shifting.

by **Sara Stanton** » Thu Mar 10, 2011 10:38 am

"I... W-Will... I just want to help you. There's obviously something going on and you try to shut me out..."

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Mar 10, 2011 2:34 pm

"Nothing. Nothing's going on, Sara, I am fine. 100% fine, ready to go, fine. I'm really really alright," he said, not as bouncy as the words implied.

by **Sara Stanton** » Thu Mar 10, 2011 2:41 pm

"Who are you trying to convince here?"

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Mar 10, 2011 2:44 pm

"I'm not trying to convince anybody--I don't NEED to convince anybody."

by **Sara Stanton** » Thu Mar 10, 2011 2:45 pm

"So there's no problem at all and everything's perfectly fine."

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Mar 10, 2011 2:57 pm

"Of course. In the pink."

by **Sara Stanton** » Thu Mar 10, 2011 3:03 pm

Sara let's out a frustrated grunt.

"I'm going out to get something to eat..."

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Mar 10, 2011 3:13 pm

"Alright, have fun."

by **Sara Stanton** » Fri Mar 11, 2011 3:36 am

A while later...

With Rachel in tow and carrying Robin Sara opens the door to the apartment.

"I'm back."

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Mar 11, 2011 3:37 am

"Welcome back!" Will called.

by **Sara Stanton** » Fri Mar 11, 2011 3:45 am

"Feeling better?" she asks, walking into the living room.

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Mar 11, 2011 3:46 am

"Peachy."

He had not fixed the cuts or anything, no.

by **Sara Stanton** » Fri Mar 11, 2011 3:47 am

"See what I mean? He cut himself shaving and he didn't even shift that away." she quietly says to Rachel.

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Fri Mar 11, 2011 3:50 am

"Hey." Rachel said "Mind if I sit down?"

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Mar 11, 2011 3:52 am

"Of course not! Mi casa su casa."

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Fri Mar 11, 2011 4:08 am

"Um....I came over because, well, I know its been rough, and have you thought about getting counseling?" Rachel asked "The guy Ryan is seeing is really good, and it might help."

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Mar 11, 2011 4:10 am

"Some counselling? What for?"

by **Sara Stanton** » Fri Mar 11, 2011 4:16 am

"Because we're worried about you and I don't think this 'just bouncing back' is really working..."

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Fri Mar 11, 2011 4:19 am

"You just aren't yourself." Rachel said "Which is understandable. You went through a lot. But the fact that you aren't shifting...huge red flag right there."

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Mar 11, 2011 4:25 am

"And you're not using your telepathy right now, and Sara's not a rock golem--can't people just, y'know, not do things?"

by **Sara Stanton** » Fri Mar 11, 2011 4:30 am

"But you used to do it all the time because you enjoyed it! Now you're not even shifting your stubble or your cuts away..."

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Mar 11, 2011 4:31 am

"Just kicking a bad habit, m'dear. That's all this is.

It got people hurt, so I'm keeping my baser instincts down. That so hard to believe?"

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Fri Mar 11, 2011 4:34 am

Yes, but I can and will use my telepathy if I feel like it. Rachel mindspoke to him.

by **Sara Stanton** » Fri Mar 11, 2011 4:39 am

"No, it's just... You're still miserable. And don't try to tell me you're not, I know you too well to believe that..."

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Mar 11, 2011 4:40 am

Will sighed. "I'm fine. You can't m...I'm just not gonna be shifting. No need to make a big production number out of it."

by **Sara Stanton** » Fri Mar 11, 2011 4:43 am

"No one is trying to make you shift, Will..." she says softly.

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Mar 11, 2011 4:51 am

"You're damn right no one is," he said, too quickly.

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Fri Mar 11, 2011 1:14 pm

"Will, listen to yourself." Rachel said."Not shifting isn't going to solve anything."

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Mar 11, 2011 5:19 pm

"There's nothing to solve, it's just a thing, good God."

by **Sara Stanton** » Fri Mar 11, 2011 5:32 pm

"Then it'd be no big deal if we went and checked if the gingerbread house is back, right?"

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Mar 11, 2011 5:36 pm

"The gin...oh, yeah, the head thing.

Um..." he said, instantly growing a little more nervous. "I mean, if that would make you feel better, and, uh, stuff, I mean, I guess, well, I guess you could..."

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Fri Mar 11, 2011 6:31 pm

"I don't wanna make you uncomfortable." Rachel said "I promise I won't mess with anything, Sara and I will just go in and have a look."

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Mar 11, 2011 6:31 pm

"Define 'mess with', please."
