Re: In the Manor
Posted: Mon Sep 03, 2012 12:43 pm"I suppose you would know?"
Re: In the Manor
Posted: Mon Sep 03, 2012 1:00 pm"I can smell them." Amanda said, sounding quite matter of fact "Or I could, if there were any."
Re: In the Manor
Posted: Mon Sep 03, 2012 1:08 pm"That's what I meant, yes. Looking for a snack?" he joked.
Re: In the Manor
Posted: Mon Sep 03, 2012 1:45 pm"Rats, no thank you." Amanda said, deadpan "Mice are much tastier."
Re: In the Manor
Posted: Mon Sep 03, 2012 1:56 pm"Afraid there's likely none of those, either."
Re: In the Manor
Posted: Mon Sep 03, 2012 2:00 pm"Sadly, no." Amanda said "So what are you looking for?"
Re: In the Manor
Posted: Mon Sep 03, 2012 2:05 pm"I'm trying to figure out a conundrum."
Re: In the Manor
Posted: Mon Sep 03, 2012 2:15 pm"Which one?"
Re: In the Manor
Posted: Mon Sep 03, 2012 3:01 pm"An inaccuracy,if you will.
It takes two and half paces more to cross this wing from the outside than from the inside.

Re: In the Manor
Posted: Mon Sep 03, 2012 3:08 pm"And since British logic would require it to be bigger on the inside, you suspect a hidden passage." Amanda replied "Sensible"
Re: In the Manor
Posted: Mon Sep 03, 2012 3:12 pm"Smaller on the inside. It is smaller on the inside. If it was larger on the inside, there'd be more paces indoors."
Re: In the Manor
Posted: Mon Sep 03, 2012 10:00 pm"Sorry, I was making a bad Dr. Who joke." Amanda replied "Still, two and a half paces isn't much space...."
Re: In the Manor
Posted: Mon Sep 03, 2012 11:26 pm"Indeed. I thought, for a while, it was the thickness of the wall."
Re: In the Manor
Posted: Mon Sep 03, 2012 11:38 pm"What changed your mind?" Amanda asked curiously
Re: In the Manor
Posted: Mon Sep 03, 2012 11:41 pm"Experience. I try not to ignore nagging feelings."
Re: In the Manor
Posted: Tue Sep 04, 2012 12:05 am"Fair enough." Amanda said "Have you worked out where the discrepancy starts?"
Re: In the Manor
Posted: Tue Sep 04, 2012 12:32 am"That's the odd thing. It doesn't match up with my outside marks."
Re: In the Manor
Posted: Tue Sep 04, 2012 1:09 am"Huh." Amanda said "That is weird."
Re: In the Manor
Posted: Tue Sep 04, 2012 10:52 am"No one else seems to have noticed it -- it takes a keen eye for this sort of thing."
Re: In the Manor
Posted: Tue Sep 04, 2012 2:30 pm"Would you like some help?" Amanda said "If its a gap with something living in it, I might be able to smell it."
Re: In the Manor
Posted: Tue Sep 04, 2012 4:11 pm"You think there's a hidden rats nest somewhere in the manor."
Re: In the Manor
Posted: Tue Sep 04, 2012 4:15 pm"I think that vermin are sometimes drawn to unoccupied spaces." Amanda said "Its possible."
Re: In the Manor
Posted: Tue Sep 04, 2012 4:16 pm"Well, you can certainly tag along, if you like."
Re: In the Manor
Posted: Tue Sep 04, 2012 4:19 pm"If you don't mind." Amanda replied "I need to get familiar with this place anyway."
Re: In the Manor
Posted: Tue Sep 04, 2012 4:21 pm"You're the new.....help me out, I have a terrible memory for names."
Re: In the Manor
Posted: Wed Sep 05, 2012 2:08 am"Amanda Weinrich." she replied "Mutant Studies, but they've also got me teaching some intro level Anthropology classes."
Re: In the Manor
Posted: Wed Sep 05, 2012 12:11 pm"Ah, yes. Weinrich. I'll try to keep that in mind."
A pause.
"Roland Sackville, by the by."

Posted: Thu Sep 06, 2012 1:13 am"History, right?"
Re: In the Manor
Posted: Thu Sep 06, 2012 1:17 pm"No, very much now," he joked.
Re: In the Manor
Posted: Thu Sep 06, 2012 3:16 pm"Ah, you're one of those 'everything after 1900 is current events' types?" Amanda asked.
Re: In the Manor
Posted: Thu Sep 06, 2012 3:27 pm"Everything is current events. Haven't you heard that history repeats itself?"
Re: In the Manor
Posted: Thu Sep 06, 2012 3:31 pm"Up to a point, yeah." Amanda replied "But the details do change a bit."
Re: In the Manor
Posted: Thu Sep 06, 2012 8:27 pm"Not in any important ways."
Re: In the Manor
Posted: Fri Sep 07, 2012 12:16 am"Maybe." Amanda replied.
