I12DT: A Shadow in the Garden

by **Emily Inque** » Sat Dec 07, 2013 2:06 pm

"The two of you were romantically involved?" Emily says, sounding shocked by this revelation.

by **Will Stanton** » Sat Dec 07, 2013 2:10 pm

"Not exactly? I mean, we're close, and maybe, at times, we were a bit TOO close. We were, you know, a bit intimate, but I think we were both more confused than anything..." Will hedged.

by **Emily Inque** » Sat Dec 07, 2013 2:15 pm

Emily falls to the ground, looking disgusted and horrified.

"I had no idea," Emily says, putting her hand over her mouth, "I think I will be sick."

by **Will Stanton** » Sat Dec 07, 2013 2:23 pm

"What's wrong?" Will asked, concerned.

by **Emily Inque** » Sat Dec 07, 2013 2:24 pm

"I just imagined you and my mother together," Emily says, "It is awful."

by **Will Stanton** » Sat Dec 07, 2013 2:31 pm

"We never were, um, 'together'...."

by **Emily Inque** » Sat Dec 07, 2013 2:31 pm

"I think I may vomit. Please turn away, I do not wish you to see me like this," Emily says.

by **Will Stanton** » Sat Dec 07, 2013 2:33 pm

Will obediently turned away.

"Emily, you've got it all wrong, and I'm sure your mother would back me up on that."

by **Emily Inque** » Sat Dec 07, 2013 3:58 pm

Emily stands up, "I am glad to hear that. It would have made our relationship extremely perverse, Mr. Scumbag."

by **Will Stanton** » Sat Dec 07, 2013 4:26 pm

"Wait, what kind of 'relationship' are YOU talking about? We've met each other, what, twice?"

by **Emily Inque** » Sat Dec 07, 2013 4:36 pm

"Do you not remember? The night in London? We kissed and you told me you loved me," Emily says, "Nine months later, I had your child. I named him Jean-Paul. Tearfully, I abandoned him on the subway platform."

Emily sighs, "...I miss you, Jean-Paul."

by **Will Stanton** » Sat Dec 07, 2013 4:39 pm

"Is this a thing we're doing now? Scenes from plays and whatnot?"

by **Emily Inque** » Sat Dec 07, 2013 4:42 pm

"You forgot our son?" Emily says, looking dramatically offended, "You monster. Was I just another girl to you? Another notch on your bedpost?"

by **Will Stanton** » Sat Dec 07, 2013 4:46 pm

"No, you were my friend's jacket. Nothing more, nothing less.

Oh, Lizabelle, had I only known..."

by **Emily Inque** » Sat Dec 07, 2013 10:20 pm

"..." Emily stared blankly at Will, "My name is Emily."

by **Will Stanton** » Sat Dec 07, 2013 11:46 pm

"See, I thought you were doing a thing there. See, I'm trying to get you're whole...schtick."

by **Emily Inque** » Sun Dec 08, 2013 12:00 am

"Yes. I know," Emily says. "I found it very amusing. You are very funny. For a dog."

by **Will Stanton** » Sun Dec 08, 2013 12:01 am

"Emily...you know none of the things you're saying really hapwhat do you mean, a dog?" Will said, changing subjects midstream.

by **Emily Inque** » Sun Dec 08, 2013 12:12 am

"I thought I was clear? I do not like to think of you being human. You will be a dog instead," Emily says.

by **Will Stanton** » Sun Dec 08, 2013 12:13 am

"Bow-wow," Will laughed.

by **Emily Inque** » Sun Dec 08, 2013 12:32 am

"Good dog," Emily says, patting Will on the back.

by **Will Stanton** » Sun Dec 08, 2013 12:34 am

Will shifted some more canine features and dropped to all fours--hey, if the girl was fitting in, who was Will to say otherwise.

"I mean, technically, I'm not much of anything. 'Tis the life of a shifter."

by **Emily Inque** » Sun Dec 08, 2013 12:41 am

Emily frowns, "I believe I may have been mistaken."

by **Will Stanton** » Sun Dec 08, 2013 12:43 am

"About what?"

by **Emily Inque** » Sun Dec 08, 2013 12:50 am

"You are not fit to be a dog," Emily says, "It is offensive to canines everywhere."

"I will have to consider this carefully," Emily says, staring at Will thoughtfully.

by **Will Stanton** » Sun Dec 08, 2013 12:52 am

"Not even good enough to be a dog? But I learn tricks ever-so-much faster," he joked. "Shake?" he said, reaching up a paw.

by **Emily Inque** » Sun Dec 08, 2013 12:56 am

Emily puts her hands on Will's shoulders and starts shaking him.

by **Will Stanton** » Sun Dec 08, 2013 12:56 am

"Woa-woa-woa-woa-woa-ok,-you take things literally-woah-woah-waoh. I can deal with that," he said, taking a half step backwards and trying to shrug free of the grip.

by **Emily Inque** » Sun Dec 08, 2013 1:09 am

"I am glad," Emily says. She lets go of Will. "Then I do not have to worry about you turning me into the authorities."

by **Will Stanton** » Sun Dec 08, 2013 1:11 am

"For what? I mean, I technically AM the authorities, and I'm not doing anything."

by **Emily Inque** » Sun Dec 08, 2013 1:16 am

"You don't know?" Emily says. She looks away. "Forget I said anything. If you know what is good for you."

Emily chuckles. It sounds pretty sinister.

by **Will Stanton** » Sun Dec 08, 2013 1:18 am

"Oh, c'mon, you can't leave me hanging."

Will gave her a puppy-dog look. It was effective in this form.

by **Emily Inque** » Sun Dec 08, 2013 1:33 am

"Your hangdog expression will not work on me, bastard," Emily says, "However, if you wish to be well hung..."

Her hand forms into a hangman's noose.

by **Will Stanton** » Sun Dec 08, 2013 2:08 am

"I'm well hung enough, thank you--we don't need to, uh, resort to murder here. That's generally frowned upon."

by **Emily Inque** » Sun Dec 08, 2013 2:13 am

"Generally? When do you smile during murders?" Emily asks.

by **Will Stanton** » Sun Dec 08, 2013 2:14 am

"That's generally a sign of some sort of mental imbalance."

by **Emily Inque** » Sun Dec 08, 2013 2:37 am

"My whore of a mother believes that I am crazy," Emily says. "So, I will have to remember to smile the next time I murder someone."

by **Will Stanton** » Sun Dec 08, 2013 2:43 am

"Well, if you are, you've got company. I'm nuts, too."

by **Emily Inque** » Sun Dec 08, 2013 3:50 am

"Imagining that you are a nut probably is a good indicator of mental instability," Emily says.

by **Will Stanton** » Sun Dec 08, 2013 12:57 pm

"Oh, but who needs to imagine, when you are a shifter?" Will said, shrinking down and developing a hard, walnutesque shell.
