May 25th: Stanton Residence

by **Sara Stanton** » Sun Mar 27, 2011 2:01 pm

Sara shudders just looking at the thing before bringing herself to take a careful lick.

by **Will Stanton** » Sun Mar 27, 2011 2:04 pm

Well, as to be expected, it tasted HORRIBLE.

It also brought up....nasty images. Fear, terror, humiliation...none of the SPECIFICS of what happened to Will, but the same emotional responses.

...it was not pleasant.

by **Sara Stanton** » Sun Mar 27, 2011 2:22 pm

"Oh god, I can't eat an entire cone of this..." she whimpers, almost hurling the thing away as if it had bitten her.

by **Will Stanton** » Sun Mar 27, 2011 2:24 pm

"Not your thing, huh? Well, I'll figure out a way to mix it in well, lass, don't you worry."

by **Sara Stanton** » Sun Mar 27, 2011 2:34 pm

"N-no... Sorry Will." she mumbles to herself as she hands the cone back.

by **Will Stanton** » Sun Mar 27, 2011 2:38 pm

Purple came hurrying over.

"What did you DO to her?"

"YOU keep out of this," White frowned.

by **Sara Stanton** » Sun Mar 27, 2011 2:44 pm

" 't wasn't his fault..." Sara says, trying to pull herself together.

by **Will Stanton** » Sun Mar 27, 2011 2:49 pm

"Look, the more I wait on this, the longer it lasts, so back off and don't tell me how to do my job," White growled at Purple, who was holding Sara steady.

by **Sara Stanton** » Sun Mar 27, 2011 2:54 pm

"Let's just go somewhere else, okay?"

by **Will Stanton** » Sun Mar 27, 2011 2:56 pm

"Right, right..." Purple said, clearly concerned. "Are you...are you OK to walk?"

by **Sara Stanton** » Sun Mar 27, 2011 3:04 pm

"I'm fine. Everything's fine."

by **Will Stanton** » Sun Mar 27, 2011 3:21 pm

"Alright...lets get you out of here," Purple said, helping her up. "Somewhere a little more interesting, aye?"

by **Sara Stanton** » Sun Mar 27, 2011 3:23 pm

"Sure. You're the guide..."

by **Will Stanton** » Sun Mar 27, 2011 3:30 pm

"I guess I am," he said, leading her back into the bustle of the main room, with the whirring of machinery and the whining of cranes and things.

by **Sara Stanton** » Sun Mar 27, 2011 3:34 pm

"Well everyone else here seems to have a certain purpose..."

by **Will Stanton** » Sun Mar 27, 2011 3:35 pm

"Well, we do. The other people are just general labor, I'm afraid--like, if you were to stay here, we'd have to find something for you to do, but they are occasional...accidents and things, so you're all multipurpose..."

by **Sara Stanton** » Sun Mar 27, 2011 3:49 pm

"But you aren't multi-purpose."

by **Will Stanton** » Sun Mar 27, 2011 3:51 pm

"Hrm? No, no of course I'm not...

We got rid of all that stuff. Security, you know? Everyone has our clearly defined roles--and if we're compromised, we're locked out."

by **Sara Stanton** » Sun Mar 27, 2011 4:01 pm

"Sounds like a smart system... So you're not going to tell me what your role is?"

by **Will Stanton** » Sun Mar 27, 2011 4:26 pm

"Oh, you hadn't figured it out? I'm the shifter..."

by **Sara Stanton** » Sun Mar 27, 2011 4:31 pm

"Oh... Oh! Of course!"

by **Will Stanton** » Sun Mar 27, 2011 4:32 pm

"'Of course'?" he asked, puzzled. "Why do you say 'of course'?"

by **Sara Stanton** » Sun Mar 27, 2011 4:36 pm

"Oh just... you know... how the one in the Emotion Room reacted to you. I know Will has been associating shifting with what happened."

by **Will Stanton** » Sun Mar 27, 2011 4:38 pm

"I have been," he admitted. "Though it's really not fair....not to me, at least.

Yes, I'm vulnerable, but..."

by **Sara Stanton** » Sun Mar 27, 2011 4:44 pm

"Well that's why I'm here. We got really worried when Will wouldn't shift anymore and he just brushed it off like nothing was wrong."

by **Will Stanton** » Sun Mar 27, 2011 4:46 pm

"Well, sorry. Not much I can do...heck, I'm voted down enough when I AM a voice in the process," he sighed. "If I had my way..."

by **Sara Stanton** » Sun Mar 27, 2011 4:56 pm

"Well I tried to help with the Emotions but that didn't do much good. Is there a room for Reasoning or something?"

by **Will Stanton** » Sun Mar 27, 2011 5:05 pm

"There is, but, good lord, I can't stand THAT guy. 'Oh, if you let them bake you into cookies, how will you reform? Oh, if Sara uses you in an art project, how long will it be before you're free again?' and so on and so forth. A TOTAL buzz-kill.

I mean, I understand SOME of it, but...I want to be the bed every night, and the blankets, and a chair, and I want to be Robin's crib and her bottle and her diaper and I want you to put food in me so I can keep it cold, and I want you to put food in me so I can heat it up and I want to be driven places and rode through the woods and lay eggs and produce milk and keep you warm in front of the fire and bathe you and be your pen and your paper and your backpack...I want to be sent through the mail, I want to be cut into a million pieces and put back together, I want to be crushed and flattened and stretched and folded and bent and elongated and inflated....

So, yeah. That's always MY vote. YOU felt what it was like...YOU were here..."

by **Sara Stanton** » Sun Mar 27, 2011 5:11 pm

"I was, but... Well I'll just say it can't be good if any of you gets the sole say, you know? And I'd still like to talk to Reason if that's possible..." she says, pretending she didn't hear about some of the stuff part of Will wants to do.

by **Will Stanton** » Sun Mar 27, 2011 5:14 pm

"Right. Sure. Reason. Be prepared for a FUN time there, then," he grumbled, opening a...trap door?

This room was represented as a huge library, with books lining the walls--a far cry from the candy-and-sweets representation of the rest of the head, oddly enough. The room stretched far far far down. In the middle of the rooms were people--again, mostly Saras, but there was a mix--sitting at chess boards, trying to puzzle stuff out, as a Will with a long white beard went through, making moves, pausing to consider something, and making another move, all while reading out of a book.

by **Sara Stanton** » Sun Mar 27, 2011 5:17 pm

Sara can't help but chuckle to herself at the sight of white-bearded Will.

by **Will Stanton** » Sun Mar 27, 2011 5:18 pm

"I'm not even sure it's real," ShifterWill whispered to Sara.

by **Sara Stanton** » Sun Mar 27, 2011 5:22 pm

She lets out a laugh that she stifles again real quick. They're in a library after all. She waits politely for BeardWill to pass by them before addressing him.

"Hello there."

by **Will Stanton** » Sun Mar 27, 2011 5:23 pm

"Good day," he said, not looking up from his book or the chess.

by **Sara Stanton** » Sun Mar 27, 2011 5:30 pm

"That any good?" she asks, nodding at the book he's holding.

by **Will Stanton** » Sun Mar 27, 2011 5:31 pm

"'Good' in what sense? Good at being a book? Good at imparting information? Good at providing a distracting influence?"

by **Sara Stanton** » Sun Mar 27, 2011 5:36 pm

"Depends on if it's fact or fiction for one."

by **Will Stanton** » Sun Mar 27, 2011 5:40 pm

"All fact is fiction. There is no truth not colored by perception."

by **Sara Stanton** » Sun Mar 27, 2011 5:47 pm

"That's just not true. There are objective facts that don't change through perception."

by **Will Stanton** » Sun Mar 27, 2011 5:51 pm

"True. And even those effected by perception sometimes must be used to perform operations.

It is merely less true for us than for most."
