Downtime Week 3 - What now?

by **Sara Stanton** » Fri Jul 10, 2009 9:34 pm

Sara's sitting on one of the benches in the quad elbows on her knees, holding her head with both hands, eyes fixed on the ground as if to make sure it isn't pulled out from under her again.

The branches above Sara began to shake and Nina fell out of the tree, landing roughly in front of Sara.

Brushing herself off as a couple of probes went to work checking for any injuries Nina stood up and smiled at Sara.

"Hello..."

by **Sara Stanton** » Fri Jul 10, 2009 9:42 pm

"Aah!" she lets out a quiet scream as Nina literally plummets out of nowhere in front of her.

"N-Nina... hi..." She's at least there enough to not bother asking the girl if she's alright with the probes skittering over her.

by **Nina Madaraki** » Fri Jul 10, 2009 9:54 pm

"How are you?" Nina asks with a cheerful smile, sitting next to Sara.

by **Sara Stanton** » Fri Jul 10, 2009 9:57 pm

"In perfect health, at least. Twice as healthy than I thought even!" she laughs weakly before letting her head fall back into her hands.

by **Nina Madaraki** » Fri Jul 10, 2009 9:58 pm

"You have a twin?" Nina says, cocking her head thoughtfully.

by **Sara Stanton** » Fri Jul 10, 2009 10:03 pm

"I wish..." she mumbles.

by **Nina Madaraki** » Fri Jul 10, 2009 10:07 pm

"You were split into two different people by some sort of ray?"

by **Sara Stanton** » Fri Jul 10, 2009 10:11 pm

"I'm two people alright..." she sighs. "And 'some sort of ray' makes about as much sense for how it happened as anything..."

by **Nina Madaraki** » Fri Jul 10, 2009 10:13 pm

"Oh," Nina says, looking like she understands.

by **Sara Stanton** » Fri Jul 10, 2009 10:16 pm

"Yeah... what the hell am I going to do?"

by **Nina Madaraki** » Fri Jul 10, 2009 10:19 pm

"It's not really my area of expertise," Nina says, "I read a paper on telepathic mediation that seemed to provide some good results."

by **Sara Stanton** » Fri Jul 10, 2009 10:22 pm

"Telepathinc what? What does that have to do with anything?"

by **Nina Madaraki** » Fri Jul 10, 2009 10:25 pm

"Was it triggered by any sort of trauma?" Nina asks, "Have you had an nMRI done yet?"

by **Sara Stanton** » Fri Jul 10, 2009 10:33 pm

"What are you talking about, Nina?"

by **Nina Madaraki** » Fri Jul 10, 2009 10:42 pm

"Split personality disorder," Nina says, "It's weirdly common among mutants, y'know. Of course, most psychiatric disorders are."

by **Sara Stanton** » Fri Jul 10, 2009 10:44 pm

"What? No. I... I'm pregnant..."

by **Nina Madaraki** » Fri Jul 10, 2009 10:47 pm

"Really?" Nina says loudly, looking disturbingly enthusiastic.

by **Sara Stanton** » Fri Jul 10, 2009 10:49 pm

"Please don't tell anyone. I still have no idea what the hell we're going to do about this..."

by **Nina Madaraki** » Fri Jul 10, 2009 10:50 pm

"Who's the father?" Nina says with a grin, leaning forward, "Do you know? I can find out if you're not sure."

by **Sara Stanton** » Fri Jul 10, 2009 10:55 pm

"It's Will of course.." Looking a little creeped out by Nina's enthusiasm.

by **Nina Madaraki** » Fri Jul 10, 2009 11:05 pm

"Interesting..." Nina says, "Have you thought about getting a genetic profile done?"

by **Sara Stanton** » Fri Jul 10, 2009 11:14 pm

"I... don't even know if we should keep it yet..."

by **Nina Madaraki** » Fri Jul 10, 2009 11:43 pm

"You don't want it?"

by **Sara Stanton** » Fri Jul 10, 2009 11:45 pm

"I don't know... It's not that I don't want kids with Will one day. But not now..."

by **Nina Madaraki** » Sat Jul 11, 2009 12:31 am

"So get an abortion," Nina says with a shrug.

by **Sara Stanton** » Sat Jul 11, 2009 12:33 am

"It's not that simple..."

by **Nina Madaraki** » Sat Jul 11, 2009 12:40 am

"It is simple," Nina says cheerfully, "You're just stupid."

"You either want the baby or you don't. It's not easy, but it's simple."

by **Sara Stanton** » Sat Jul 11, 2009 12:45 am

"That doesn't really help though. I don't know what I want..."

by **Nina Madaraki** » Sat Jul 11, 2009 12:48 am

"Can't help you there," Nina says, reaching into her pocket, "Want some mints? They turn your tongue blue."

Nina holds out a carton of mints to Sara, popping a couple into her mouth.

by **Sara Stanton** » Sat Jul 11, 2009 12:53 am

"Thanks..." she smiles weakly and takes a few mints from Nina.

by **Nina Madaraki** » Sat Jul 11, 2009 12:55 am

"They're just mints," Nina says, rolling her eyes.

by **Sara Stanton** » Sat Jul 11, 2009 1:16 am

"I know. I'm just not being very rational right now."

by **Nina Madaraki** » Sat Jul 11, 2009 2:52 am

"Yeah," Nina agrees, "You really aren't."

by **Sara Stanton** » Sat Jul 11, 2009 2:56 am

"Well I have a good excuse..."

by **Nina Madaraki** » Sat Jul 11, 2009 10:02 pm

"Maybe," Nina says, "But it's not getting you anywhere."

by **Sara Stanton** » Sat Jul 11, 2009 10:05 pm

"No... but I can't really help it right now. It kind of whacked me in the head out of nowhere..."

by **Nina Madaraki** » Sat Jul 11, 2009 10:06 pm

"Well, I'm not much help with all that," Nina says, "But if you need some sort of medical advice..."

by **Sara Stanton** » Sat Jul 11, 2009 10:09 pm

"I guess I will eventually at least... I don't even know what kind of questions I should be asking in that regard right now..."

by **Nina Madaraki** » Sat Jul 11, 2009 10:12 pm

"Well, I definitely recommend some genetic counseling," Nina says, "Mutant abilities can mix in weird ways and cause strange complications."
