Sam's Office - Better late than never

by **Teri Napliotis** » Wed Oct 31, 2012 2:08 pm

She tilts her head slightly. "Maybe, yes. A little."

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Oct 31, 2012 2:09 pm

"Just trying to find a context here. Locusts drone, aye?"

"Do you hear it still when you're in this form, or just when you're the swarm?"

by **Teri Napliotis** » Wed Oct 31, 2012 2:17 pm

"Always. But it's not so much that we hear it. Not really. It's more that all the voices fit together right."

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Oct 31, 2012 2:30 pm

"And they fit together very well when you're like this?"

by **Teri Napliotis** » Wed Oct 31, 2012 2:36 pm

"Usually. Sometimes when we get upset or excited they don't. And the other day they just... stopped. It was like nails on a chalkboard and then everything fell into dissonance."

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Oct 31, 2012 2:40 pm

"Frightening, aye?"

"What were you doing when it happened?"

by **Teri Napliotis** » Wed Oct 31, 2012 2:44 pm

"Talking to a new friend. Violet."

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Oct 31, 2012 3:14 pm

"...do you know what her powers are?"

by **Teri Napliotis** » Wed Oct 31, 2012 3:23 pm

"No, why?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Oct 31, 2012 3:25 pm

"It might be relevant. Was this the first time it had happened?"

by **Teri Napliotis** » Wed Oct 31, 2012 3:30 pm

"The first time it happened all of a sudden like that, yes."

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Oct 31, 2012 3:56 pm

"But you've never really been around other mutants that much, aye?"

by **Teri Napliotis** » Wed Oct 31, 2012 4:06 pm

"No, we spent a lot of time by ourselves."

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Oct 31, 2012 4:07 pm

"So you're encountering people who can do things you've never encountered before, which may interact oddly with your own powers."

"Do you know her last name?"

by **Teri Napliotis** » Wed Oct 31, 2012 4:21 pm

"She didn't say. You think she did something with her gift?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Oct 31, 2012 4:23 pm

"I don't think she did it intentionally, but finding out her power might give us some insight."

by **Teri Napliotis** » Wed Oct 31, 2012 4:27 pm

"We'll ask her next time we see her."

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Oct 31, 2012 4:35 pm

"In the meantime, I'd be more than happy to listen and help where I can, if you have any trouble."

by **Teri Napliotis** » Wed Oct 31, 2012 4:44 pm

"We're doing okay. Much better than back home."

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Oct 31, 2012 4:52 pm

"Aye. That's not all that uncommon a sentiment."

"Hurts to leave home sometimes, though."

by **Teri Napliotis** » Wed Oct 31, 2012 4:57 pm

"We do miss the mountains. But the grounds are big and there are lots of fields and woods out there."

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Oct 31, 2012 5:23 pm

"That's all you miss?"

by **Teri Napliotis** » Wed Oct 31, 2012 5:54 pm

"Yes. We don't really remember much from before the song."

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Oct 31, 2012 6:03 pm

"Ah, does that bother you?"

by **Teri Napliotis** » Wed Oct 31, 2012 6:12 pm

"We're not sure... Sometimes we think it should."

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Oct 31, 2012 6:31 pm

"It's something we can work a little on in time, if you feel comfortable with it."

by **Teri Napliotis** » Wed Oct 31, 2012 6:43 pm

She nods, though she's a little hesitant. "We'll think about it."

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Oct 31, 2012 6:57 pm

"There's no rush, aye? This isn't about forcing you to do anything."

by **Teri Napliotis** » Wed Oct 31, 2012 7:07 pm

"Okay. Sorry we didn't come earlier. We weren't really sure what to expect."

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Oct 31, 2012 7:17 pm

"I get that a lot, really. It's okay to be a bit uncertain."

by **Teri Napliotis** » Wed Oct 31, 2012 7:24 pm

"Thanks." she smiles.

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Oct 31, 2012 7:25 pm

"Anything you'd like to ask?"

by **Teri Napliotis** » Wed Oct 31, 2012 7:27 pm

"We're not really sure. We've always lived pretty well with our blessing."

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Oct 31, 2012 7:29 pm

"Is that how you think of it? A blessing?"

by **Teri Napliotis** » Wed Oct 31, 2012 7:34 pm

"We've all been blessed, yes. People keep calling it mutation, but we believe it's a gift from god." she smiles.

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Oct 31, 2012 7:41 pm

"That's a pleasant way to look at it," she said as she returned Teri's smile. "I wish more people thought like that."

by **Teri Napliotis** » Wed Oct 31, 2012 7:46 pm

She nods. "Some thought we were a plague. We wanted to prove them wrong but... we're always hungry and the town was so small..."

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Nov 01, 2012 1:00 pm

"Aye. Small communities don't usually have the resources to help developing mutants. It's not hard to feel a bit like a cuckoo egg."

by **Teri Napliotis** » Thu Nov 01, 2012 1:11 pm

"Yes. That's why we think it might be better to not remember what we lost when they chased us off..."
