Downtime Week 2 - Late Evening Snack

[Sara Stanton]

"Maybe a little..."

[Will Stanton]

"...I'm sorry, it's just, it really bugs me sometimes, and I didn't think you were taking me seriously..."

[Sara Stanton]

"I always take you seriously, Will. Okay, maybe not when you're joking around. I know you're worried about what you really are, physically. I didn't mean to sound like it's nothing serious..."

[Will Stanton]

"I know you didn't. It's just touchy. I'm sorry, we're not getting anywhere by fighting. Let's call it a draw."

He sighs, looks down at the arm, and then a shadow of a grin hits his face, and he sticks it out again, towards Sara.

"Shake on it?"

[Sara Stanton]

She rolls her eyes ever so slightly but can't help chuckling a little bit as she shakes the disembodied hand and arm.
"I'm sorry I got angry. I was just worried..."

[Will Stanton]

"No need to apologize for getting angry at me doing stupid things. If you don't; maybe I'd keep doing them."

Will sighed as he shifted his mass around, out of clay, regrowing a second arm!

This, unfortunately, left him a bit short on mass...and height, clocking it at a full four feet tall.

[Sara Stanton]

"Well it looks like you'll be reminded of it for a while." She smiles softly at the much smaller Will, although not without the hint of a frown.

[Will Stanton]

"Nah, I'll be OK in a day or two," Will said, leaning back up against his now foot-and-a-half taller girlfriend...and, of course, shifting to Willow as he did so. "I'm resilient."

[Sara Stanton]

She wraps an arm around Midget-Willow and nods at the lump of clay on the table. "And what do we do with that?"

[Will Stanton]

"...you want a souvenir?" [s]he shrugged. "Beat me over the head with it when I do something stupid?"

[Sara Stanton]

"I don't think I'd want that sitting around. It's a little creepy to hang on to..."

[Will Stanton]

"I guess we could throw it away?" Will said.

[Sara Stanton]

"Is it still organic? Maybe we shouldn't just toss it out with the normal garbage..."

[Will Stanton]

"Yeah. I dunno what the heck you do with an arm. Barbecue? ... I'm kidding."

[Sara Stanton]

"I could take it to the lab. Autoclave it and toss it out with the rest."

[Will Stanton]

"Might be best, I guess. I dunno, really."

Will sighed. "Kinda creepy, figuring out what to do with your own arm."

[Sara Stanton]

"Well we wouldn't want a second Will growin or a giant blob monster rampaging through the city a few months down the road or something." she chuckles. "Better safe than sorry."

[Will Stanton]

"You're right. And it'd just be weird to bury the darn thing.


...not to shift the subject too much, but, uh, we should, at some point, confront Sara about this. The other Sara. Together. I don't think she was...malicious or anything, though I'm peeved that she got me into the sauna...but I want to know WHY."

[Sara Stanton]

"Oh yeah, she's definately not just getting away with that."

[Will Stanton]

"I just don't wanna confront her alone; she might just re-Willowize me. Not that it's a bad person or anything, but it's not me."

[Sara Stanton]

"Yeah. We can go looking for her tomorrow. I'd prefer not to bust into people's dorms just for that."

[Will Stanton]

"You know, she can't talk to guys? I thought she was gonna die when Juma came into the pool--we ran off and hid in the sauna."

[Sara Stanton]

"Really? Maybe she just saw a chance to talk to you that way then?"

[Will Stanton]

"Maybe, but changing my whole personality around...not fun. Plus, apparently, her version of Willow-me has no shame."

[Sara Stanton]

"Definately not cool, but it'd explain it instead of her just being mean for the hell of it, you know."

[Will Stanton]

"It would, but still. I changed in front of her, we were in the sauna...and how she knew I could become a girl is anyone's guess."

[Sara Stanton]

"Good point. And she better hasn't been oogling you..."

[Will Stanton]

"Right. I'm for your eyes only.


...though I think Simon might've gotten a peek, too."

[Sara Stanton]

"Can't really blame him for that though. Unless he was actively trying to g a good look, but I can't really see Simon doing that."

[Will Stanton]

"I think I gave him quite a show, when I was changing. Eesh.

I really gotta move in with you," she smiled, leaning her head on Sara's arm.

[Sara Stanton]

"If that's what it takes to stop you from showing off your goods to guys..." she chuckles.

[Will Stanton]

"It just gives me more opportunities to show off the goods to you."

[Sara Stanton]

"We should just try to apply for it, really."

[Will Stanton]

"I'm just not sure 'I'm too lazy to walk across the hall' is a valid reason."
