Posted: Thu Oct 09, 2014 7:23 pm"Good afternoon, Sam. Keeping yourself scarce from the teeming masses of newbies out there?" Will smiled.

Re: Knock Knock Knockin'
Posted: Thu Oct 09, 2014 7:33 pm"I've heard the rumors. Did one of the new students stab someone?"
Re: Knock Knock Knockin'
Posted: Thu Oct 09, 2014 7:43 pm"Not stab, but one pulled a sword when she felt threatened."
"A sword that may or may not be Excalibur."
"It's going to be a long semester."

Re: Knock Knock Knockin'
Posted: Fri Oct 10, 2014 12:28 pm"I can thankfully say that I've never encountered the restless Objectivist shade of Ayn Rand in the Astral."

Re: Knock Knock Knockin'
Posted: Fri Oct 10, 2014 4:08 pm"Ah, but you see, they'd manifest when already here!"
Re: Knock Knock Knockin'
Posted: Fri Oct 10, 2014 6:12 pm"I'd ask if they wouldn't perhaps show some signs of being a Randian ubermensch prior to that, but I suppose nobody would have mistaken me for a Celtic goddess when I was a teenager."

Posted: Fri Oct 10, 2014 10:38 pm"The constant pecking of ravens didn't tip anyone off?" Will smiled.
Re: Knock Knock Knockin'
Posted: Mon Oct 13, 2014 1:23 pm"It was a little quieter, at first."
Re: Knock Knock Knockin'
Posted: Mon Oct 13, 2014 1:26 pm"Well, for what it's worth, I'm glad they started making some noise," he smiled.
Re: Knock Knock Knockin'
Posted: Wed Oct 15, 2014 1:07 pm"I'm not certain it would have been a good idea to keep them in. I was a bit of a wreck when I was younger."
Re: Knock Knock Knockin'
Posted: Wed Oct 15, 2014 2:43 pm"I can understand that. Must have been hard, being a teenager with all of this...stuff around you."
Re: Knock Knock Knockin'
Posted: Wed Oct 15, 2014 3:35 pm"It's not easy for anyone. I wasn't special in that regard."
"So what's on your mind, Will?"

Posted: Wed Oct 15, 2014 3:48 pm"Eh, I just wanted to apologize if I made things awkward with my impromptu appearance the other day. I know Miranda was sort of non-plussed by my presence."
Re: Knock Knock Knockin'
Posted: Wed Oct 15, 2014 4:25 pm"She has issues she's still working through, regarding the idea of people being used. Given what you yourself went through, I think she's especially prone to stick up for you."
Re: Knock Knock Knockin'
Posted: Wed Oct 15, 2014 4:35 pm"Yeah, but you're not using me. If anything, I probably stop by too often for your liking," he joked.
Re: Knock Knock Knockin'
Posted: Fri Oct 17, 2014 5:28 pm"Aye, but you could see where she'd put herself in your shoes, couldn't you?"
Re: Knock Knock Knockin'
Posted: Fri Oct 17, 2014 5:51 pm"Oh, absolutely. I just figured she'd trust you two more."
Re: Knock Knock Knockin'
Posted: Fri Oct 17, 2014 5:53 pm"On some level, I think it's her position that we don't realize we're doing it."
Re: Knock Knock Knockin'
Posted: Fri Oct 17, 2014 6:15 pm"Well, that's going to be hard to shake her off of. You can't blame her for having a...unique view of the situation, considering her circumstances."
Re: Knock Knock Knockin'
Posted: Fri Oct 17, 2014 8:21 pm"Aye, and we don't. She'll come around."
Re: Knock Knock Knockin'
Posted: Fri Oct 17, 2014 8:39 pm"And so will I again. Once things quiet down, at least," he smiled.
