Flaps In The Night

by **Miranda Weaver** » Tue Oct 28, 2014 2:34 pm

It was well after dark. Miranda sat on the cliffside, legs crossed and breathing deeply. Her avatar hovered in the Astral, immediately obvious to any of the telepathically inclined. The avatar had been stripped of its wings and instead wore a long, broad-shouldered cloak that had been trimmed in feathers. The cowl on the hood was pulled low and the cloak was pulled tightly around the avatar as it considered the Astral impression of the sea. In the real world, Miranda moved slightly, indicating that she wasn't fully committed to the non-physical.

Blaine walked up behind her, and paused a minute.

"Looking at the sea?" he asked, after a moment.

by **Miranda Weaver** » Tue Oct 28, 2014 5:25 pm

"You could say that," Miranda said, not turning her head. "It's always an interesting view."

by **Blaine Slinger** » Tue Oct 28, 2014 5:28 pm

"Is it? I mean, it's not bad, but surely sometimes it's just flat and boring."

by **Miranda Weaver** » Tue Oct 28, 2014 5:36 pm

"Like the school, appearances can be deceiving. My name's Miranda."

by **Blaine Slinger** » Tue Oct 28, 2014 5:43 pm

"Blaine. Are you new here, too?"

by **Miranda Weaver** » Tue Oct 28, 2014 5:48 pm

She shook her head, "My mothers work here. I've been here about a year so far. How are you liking it so far?"

by **Blaine Slinger** » Tue Oct 28, 2014 6:03 pm

"Eh.

I mean, it's been fine, but, you know. Away from home."

He looked out over the sea, not knowing and/or caring that this was NOT the Atlantic Ocean, and he was thus looking the wrong direction.

by **Miranda Weaver** » Tue Oct 28, 2014 6:04 pm

"Yeah, I can see how that would suck. This is the only real home I've ever known."

by **Blaine Slinger** » Tue Oct 28, 2014 7:26 pm

"Grew up here. I can understand that," he nodded. "Your mom's the headmistress?"

by **Miranda Weaver** » Tue Oct 28, 2014 7:34 pm

"Yeah," she said, although that revelation didn't seem particularly thrilling to her. "It has it's okay moments."

by **Blaine Slinger** » Tue Oct 28, 2014 8:51 pm

"I bet you get the biggest rooms."

by **Miranda Weaver** » Tue Oct 28, 2014 8:59 pm

"Not really, no. They go a little bit out of their way not to treat me differently from the other students where school stuff is concerned."

by **Blaine Slinger** » Tue Oct 28, 2014 9:00 pm

"You mean you don't get anything out of it?"

by **Miranda Weaver** » Tue Oct 28, 2014 9:01 pm

"Well, I have parents now, which is more than I had before, I suppose."

by **Blaine Slinger** » Tue Oct 28, 2014 9:03 pm

"What do you mean?"

by **Miranda Weaver** » Tue Oct 28, 2014 9:06 pm

"What do you mean what do I mean?"

by **Blaine Slinger** » Tue Oct 28, 2014 9:09 pm

"Of course you've always had parents. That's just birds and bees."

by **Miranda Weaver** » Tue Oct 28, 2014 9:14 pm

Miranda paused and while she was obviously still facing the see, Blaine got the sense that she was looking at him too. "I'm debating right now whether to break your brain with my, admittedly very short, life's story."

by **Blaine Slinger** » Tue Oct 28, 2014 9:21 pm

"I prefer my brain intact, thanks."

by **Miranda Weaver** » Tue Oct 28, 2014 9:23 pm

"I'll spare you the details then."

by **Blaine Slinger** » Tue Oct 28, 2014 9:28 pm

"Alrighty," he said, and then silently looked over the waves again.

by **Miranda Weaver** » Tue Oct 28, 2014 9:33 pm

"So what do you do? If you don't mind me asking."

by **Blaine Slinger** » Tue Oct 28, 2014 9:37 pm

"I'm a tinkerer. I fiddle with things until they work better."

by **Miranda Weaver** » Tue Oct 28, 2014 9:40 pm

"Sounds useful."

by **Blaine Slinger** » Tue Oct 28, 2014 9:50 pm

"When it works, anyway!"

by **Miranda Weaver** » Tue Oct 28, 2014 9:52 pm

"I know that feeling."

by **Blaine Slinger** » Tue Oct 28, 2014 10:03 pm

"Oh? What is it YOU do?"

by **Miranda Weaver** » Tue Oct 28, 2014 10:06 pm

"Clairvoyance and a little bit of precognition. Seeing the future is great, when it's understandable. Which is practically never."

by **Blaine Slinger** » Tue Oct 28, 2014 10:10 pm

"You can see the future? What am I going to say next?"

by **Miranda Weaver** » Tue Oct 28, 2014 10:17 pm

"That whatever I say you were going to say is not what you were going to say."

by **Blaine Slinger** » Tue Oct 28, 2014 10:24 pm

"I wasn't going to say th...oh, you're good."

by **Miranda Weaver** » Wed Oct 29, 2014 8:02 am

"I've learned quickly that people like to try to screw with precogs, so that really had nothing to do with my ability."

by **Blaine Slinger** » Wed Oct 29, 2014 11:24 pm

"Can you blame them?"

by **Miranda Weaver** » Thu Oct 30, 2014 8:38 am

"Yes, I can. It's not nice to screw with people, regardless of the reason."

by **Blaine Slinger** » Thu Oct 30, 2014 3:40 pm

"Well, people don't like thinking their futures are set."

by **Miranda Weaver** » Thu Oct 30, 2014 5:24 pm

"And they're not. What we see is possibilities and probabilities."

by **Blaine Slinger** » Thu Oct 30, 2014 7:09 pm

"Yeah, but people don't get that."

by **Miranda Weaver** » Thu Oct 30, 2014 7:10 pm

"Maybe we would explain it if they didn't screw with us."

by **Blaine Slinger** » Thu Oct 30, 2014 7:14 pm

"Well, you're the precog, shouldn't you know the answer to that?"
