Altamira's Room: Winn Reborn

by **Winifred Winters** » Sat Oct 25, 2014 10:59 pm

After being released from the medical center, Winn immediately sets out tracking down Altamira. She knocks on the door to Mira's room, looking annoyed, frustrated, and a bit confused all at once.

"'Ey, birdy!" Winn calls out. "Where are ya?"

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Sat Oct 25, 2014 11:02 pm

Altamira, for once, was actually in.

"Ahh. You have recovered?"

by **Winifred Winters** » Sat Oct 25, 2014 11:08 pm

"Who the hell are you?" Winn asks, not bothering with manners. How unexpected.

"What the hell happened?"

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Sat Oct 25, 2014 11:46 pm

"I'm the Pheonix," she said, as if that explained everything.

"And you knocked on the door, and I answered."

by **Winifred Winters** » Sat Oct 25, 2014 11:58 pm

"You're gonna be my Yoda, aren't you?" Winn says. She rolls her eyes, "Look, it's...it's important I find out what happened. With you and me. You know, in the sauna?"

"What did the doctors say?" Mira said, as if she had SOME idea of the answer already.

by **Winifred Winters** » Sun Oct 26, 2014 12:20 am

"They said that I had lost a significant bit of that energy that's building up in me," Winn says. "Not enough to be okay, but...fuck!"

She rubs her hair, looking frustrated.

"When I woke up, I felt good. Really, really good," Winn says quietly. "I just want to know what's happening to me. Please."

"Why don't you come in and make yourself comfortable.

Tea? Coffee?"

by **Winifred Winters** » Sun Oct 26, 2014 1:37 am

"Yeah. Coffee would be cool," Winn says, stepping inside. "Thanks."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Sun Oct 26, 2014 2:20 am

From seemingly out of nowhere, Altamira conjured a cup.

"What happened to you was an awakening, of a sorts."

by **Winifred Winters** » Sun Oct 26, 2014 11:31 am

"Where did that -- fuck it, I don't care. Gimme the mystery coffee," Winn says.

"What sort of an 'awakening'?"

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Sun Oct 26, 2014 11:31 am

"A cosmic one."

by **Winifred Winters** » Sun Oct 26, 2014 11:37 am

"If it turns out there's peyote in this coffee that....well, that would actually be pretty awesome," Winn says. She takes a sip of the coffee. "But I get the feeling you're not really talking about the fun hippy drug-trip sort of 'cosmic'."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Sun Oct 26, 2014 11:39 am

"No, I am not.

What do you know about your condition?"

by **Winifred Winters** » Sun Oct 26, 2014 11:55 am

"Fatal. Burning me up and replacing guts with energy," Winn says. "After that I start zoning out."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Sun Oct 26, 2014 11:58 am

"You may want to pay more attention next time.

You have been infused with the Power Cosmic. Or, rather, a byproduct of it."

by **Winifred Winters** » Sun Oct 26, 2014 12:23 pm

"Wasn't that the name of a progressive rock band in the '70's?"

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Sun Oct 26, 2014 12:31 pm

"If you start to grow a mullet and noodle on keyboards, consult your physician."

by **Winifred Winters** » Sun Oct 26, 2014 12:36 pm

Winn laughs, "Well, I haven't heard any synth yet, so I'm guessing I'm safe."

"So, it's this 'Power Cosmic' that's killing me?"

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Sun Oct 26, 2014 1:02 pm

"Well, not exactly. I mean, it could kill you, if not properly managed."

by **Winifred Winters** » Sun Oct 26, 2014 1:04 pm

"That. Let's do that," Winn says. "The thing where I don't die."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Sun Oct 26, 2014 1:47 pm

"Well, here's the issue. It's not healthy for a human like yourself to store so much energy. You're too squishy and mortal."

by **Winifred Winters** » Sun Oct 26, 2014 1:50 pm

"Fuckin' mortality, always ruining shit," Winn says.

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Sun Oct 26, 2014 1:52 pm

"So, you had to vent that energy, somehow.

And it seems you have a neat parlor trick."

by **Winifred Winters** » Sun Oct 26, 2014 1:55 pm

"Losing consciousness?"

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Sun Oct 26, 2014 2:03 pm

"Reversing entropy."

by **Winifred Winters** » Sun Oct 26, 2014 2:07 pm

"I might be failing physics, but I'm still pretty sure that's impossible," Winn says. "Laws of thermodywhatsits."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Sun Oct 26, 2014 2:34 pm

"Guidelines of thermodywhatsits."

by **Winifred Winters** » Sun Oct 26, 2014 2:47 pm

"Oh, so they're more like suggestions?" Winn says. "Good to know."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Sun Oct 26, 2014 2:57 pm

"If you know how they work, that is."

by **Winifred Winters** » Sun Oct 26, 2014 3:00 pm

"This is quickly becoming a little 'stay in school-ly'," WInn says.

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Sun Oct 26, 2014 3:21 pm

"Oh, I don't care about that. I care about you not overflowing with cosmic energy, because if you did, where else would it go?"

by **Winifred Winters** » Sun Oct 26, 2014 4:22 pm

"The universe?" Winn guesses.

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Sun Oct 26, 2014 4:31 pm

"Oh, no, that wouldn't do. It has to be contained."

by **Winifred Winters** » Sun Oct 26, 2014 4:33 pm

"That sounds ominous," Winn says.

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Sun Oct 26, 2014 4:53 pm

"It's my voice, isn't it? I get that a lot."

by **Winifred Winters** » Sun Oct 26, 2014 4:56 pm

"It does sound a little...final judgementish," Winn concedes.

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Sun Oct 26, 2014 5:03 pm

"It's not easy to turn off.

Very few cosmic things are. You are a...vessel for some of this excess cosmic energy. When it builds inside of you, it will naturally damage things. You need to drain it from time to time."

by **Winifred Winters** » Sun Oct 26, 2014 5:17 pm

"Alright," Winn says. "How? Can you teach me?"

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Sun Oct 26, 2014 5:37 pm

"I can certainly try," Mira nodded.
