I12DT - Getting into Shape

"During the Doctor Tomorrow nonsense?"

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Jul 26, 2013 5:48 pm

"Ah! Right, right. I think that was a possible future, but yes -- time-travelers aplenty.

Still, you didn't have a mint-chocolate cake at your birthday, right? I don't want to create an alternate timeline of some description," Will joked. "I think there's something in the X-Charter about that."

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Fri Jul 26, 2013 5:49 pm

"You'll just have to live with being a cake, but not a birthday cake."

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Jul 26, 2013 5:50 pm

"Oh, just you wait and see, when you least expect it....

...except your birthday's on a set date. This plan might need more planning."

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Fri Jul 26, 2013 5:51 pm

"Just a bit," she chuckled.

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Jul 26, 2013 5:52 pm

"Just you wait! I'll figure out some way to surprise you. And then wha-bam! You'll be surprised. Yeah."

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Fri Jul 26, 2013 6:23 pm

"Soooo... feeling pretty cakelike, right? It's... alright if I don't eat you, I hope."

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Jul 26, 2013 6:25 pm

"Well, I mean, if it would make you uncomfortable, you certainly don't have to..." Will hedged.

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Fri Jul 26, 2013 6:26 pm

"I just... don't want to think about what might happen if I... digest you."

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Jul 26, 2013 6:29 pm

"I believe, technically, I'd provide energy for a short period of time.

And possibly go straight to your hips. That seems like something I would do.

But, like I said -- if you're not comfortable, you're not comfortable."

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Fri Jul 26, 2013 6:42 pm

"Let's think about this. If I'm not going to eat you, but I'm supposed to act like I don't know the cake is you, I could... try to cut a piece?"

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Jul 26, 2013 6:44 pm

"Go for it!" Will said, perking up.

"And it's not that you don't have to know the cake is me. That's not what I was saying, you know? I'm still Will, but Will's a cake right now. It's a hard concept to get your mind around, I know."

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Fri Jul 26, 2013 6:46 pm

"Well I mean conceptually, this is us testing what would happen out in the wild. So someone that doesn't know this cake is you would cut a slice, and you don't want to break cover."

She got out the knife and took a deep breath.

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Jul 26, 2013 6:48 pm

"Right. Lips are sealed. Shhh, totally Will Stanton: Secret Agent Cake," he giggled.

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Fri Jul 26, 2013 6:53 pm

Then, Janice tried to cut a slice of cake and put it on a plate next to the cake stand.

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Jul 26, 2013 7:01 pm

"Oooo!

I ~felt~ that.

Well, I mean OBVIOUSLY I felt that, but I mean, I REALLY felt that. Like, in the frosting. The frosting wasn't me!

Try it again."

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Fri Jul 26, 2013 7:02 pm

"Er... okay?"

She went to cut another piece off.

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Jul 26, 2013 7:06 pm

"Yeah! That's....that's fantastic! All the way from top to bottom -- and, I mean, you only used, what, a couple cups of flower? Again! Again! Again!"

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Fri Jul 26, 2013 7:07 pm

"...should we try it in the other direction? Try to put the pieces back and see if you can reintegrate them?"

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Jul 26, 2013 7:14 pm

"Um, I mean, we can if you want? That's a little strange, but, yeah...is there something wrong?"

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Fri Jul 26, 2013 7:14 pm

"I just don't know how much I really should... cut you up, you know?"

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Jul 26, 2013 7:22 pm

"...Why not?"

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Fri Jul 26, 2013 7:26 pm

"I don't know how much of you has to be left?"

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Jul 26, 2013 7:29 pm

"I've been down to just a leg before!

To be fair, that took several days to recover from, but eh. You learn, you get better. That was the time we fought the giant metal crab -- but that was before your time here, wasn't it?

You want to see creepy, I think Professor Bowen still has a near-complete lump of me in his lab somewhere.

And then, Black Air proved..." Will trailed off.

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Fri Jul 26, 2013 7:42 pm

She sighed.

"Okay, do you want me to just slice the whole cake?"

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Jul 26, 2013 7:46 pm

"Make like Michael Myers and have at me!"

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Fri Jul 26, 2013 7:47 pm

Janice shook her head, and proceeded to slice and serve Will completely.

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Jul 26, 2013 7:54 pm

"Now, I suppose that's it....unless...

No, I suppose that's it."

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Fri Jul 26, 2013 7:55 pm

"So... you think you can shift back?"

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Jul 26, 2013 8:06 pm

"Watch me. That's what I do. Prepare to be impressed!"

One of the cake pieces started quivering, and reshaping itself. As it grew, it crashed into several other cake pieces, drawing them into the center mass, and when about half of them had joined together, there Will stood, safe and sound!

Well, almost safe and sound. I'm pretty sure Will normally chooses to be white, and not black. And normally, his hair and eyebrows and what not are, y'know, actual hair, and not frosting. Those are minor concerns. Probably.

"Ta-dah!"

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Fri Jul 26, 2013 8:22 pm

"...close enough," she chuckled.

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Jul 26, 2013 8:23 pm

"Hrm? Oh. Well, I suppose that's to be expected."

Behind Will...another cake piece started to quiver.

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Fri Jul 26, 2013 8:29 pm

"Uhm... did you... miss one?"

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Jul 26, 2013 8:30 pm

"Miss one what?"

The cake piece started quivering, and reshaping itself. As it grew, it crashed into the remaining cake pieces, drawing them into the center mass, and when the rest had joined together, there Will stood, safe and sound! Again!

...That's too many Wills! By at least a factor of one, depending on your tolerance for Wills.

"Ta-daa...ah?"

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Fri Jul 26, 2013 8:33 pm

Janice facepalmed.

"...oh, crap."

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Jul 26, 2013 8:44 pm

"...this has never happened before."

"I swear."

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Fri Jul 26, 2013 8:44 pm

"Please tell me you can, like, splorch back together."

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Jul 26, 2013 8:46 pm

"Um, I don't know. Do you think I can?"

Will2, for that's what we shall call him, poked Will 1 a couple times.

"Cut that out!"

"Be quiet, I'm concentrating."

"You're not helping!"

"I'ma gonna totally figure this out."

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Fri Jul 26, 2013 8:47 pm

"I hope you can. I don't know how I'm going to explain this to Sara."

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Jul 26, 2013 9:01 pm

"What's there to explain?"

"Yeah, you haven't done anything wrong."
