Castle Wittelsbach - A new day, a new quarter

"I know... And I feel bad that I can't or won't right now..."

by **Taliesin** » Fri Sep 24, 2010 8:57 pm

Taliesin was silent at that, but he did squeeze Sara's hand some, ending up slightly pushing into Will in the process, probably unintentionally.

"He provides the ceiling--the sky's the limit. You raise the floor--how bad off he can get. That was how we worked, and why we were great. All he asks...all I ask of you is to try."

by **Sara Stanton** » Fri Sep 24, 2010 9:08 pm

"I know. I do. I just haven't been doing a very good job so far..."

by **Taliesin** » Fri Sep 24, 2010 9:09 pm

"Well, there's still plenty of time. You're still young. He's willing.

And you gotta admit, you're curious."

by **Sara Stanton** » Sat Sep 25, 2010 11:36 am

"I am...He just gets excited too easily and forgets the last time I asked him not to go to Nina..."

by **Taliesin** » Sat Sep 25, 2010 2:22 pm

"He's enthusiastic, in everything.

I think it's normally one of his best qualities."

by **Sara Stanton** » Sat Sep 25, 2010 2:31 pm

"It is his best and most stressful quality." she smiles weakly.

by **Taliesin** » Sat Sep 25, 2010 2:34 pm

"So...if he keeps runnin' next door for milk, maybe it's time to keep some in the fridge, if you know what I mean," he smiled.

by **Sara Stanton** » Sat Sep 25, 2010 2:43 pm

"I tried." she sighs. "He just seemed to not like the... soy milk or whatever as much."

by **Taliesin** » Sat Sep 25, 2010 2:49 pm

"That's because he's an idiot," he said, flicking Will's mass with the hand not now holding Sara's.

"Nina was just...wilder. More willing to do things at the spur of the moment--more mad science than science. You were always safer--and slower. Nina's results ended up proving things one way or another immediately, in a visceral way -- yours took a while, and were numbers on a page he doesn't really get.

If we fall in order to learn how to avoid doing so in the future, Nina was always willing to push him down the stairs--something that I think has some positive aspects, honestly, but you need a mattress down there to cushion it."

by **Sara Stanton** » Sat Sep 25, 2010 2:57 pm

"Guess I'll have to give him a little shove every once in a while..."

by **Taliesin** » Sat Sep 25, 2010 2:58 pm

"He likes that wild, unscripted side. I like that wild, unscripted side. That's why he liked the pen thing. That's why he liked when you left 'em like that to go take a shower. It's all part of the same thing.

Increasing that wild side in one part of your life might make him need it less in others."

by **Sara Stanton** » Sat Sep 25, 2010 3:07 pm

"I know, I know... It's just not that easy for me. And soon we're gonna have a kid... How did you guys do it?"

by **Taliesin** » Sat Sep 25, 2010 3:08 pm

"Robbie loved it. She used to grab my nose, right, and run it all over the house in a big tangled knot. It was a little game we did.

We always just made sure she knew that mommy wasn't hurting mommy/daddy, that we both knew what we were doing, which was more or less true most of the time."

by **Sara Stanton** » Sat Sep 25, 2010 3:17 pm

"I guess she'll naturally not think it's weird..."

by **Taliesin** » Sat Sep 25, 2010 3:19 pm

"Heck, she likes pressing the buttons sometimes. It was like take your daughter to work day."

by **Sara Stanton** » Sat Sep 25, 2010 3:24 pm

She can't help but chuckle. "That does sound kinda cute."

by **Taliesin** » Sat Sep 25, 2010 3:26 pm

Taliesin shifted into what looked like a five year old Robin. "I wanna push the button again!"
And then into Sara. "No, no, one hit of the liquid nitrogen is enough."
And back to Robin, where she pouted.
And back to Sara. "Oh, alright, just this one time."
And back to Robin. "Yaaay!"

And back to Taliesin.

by **Sara Stanton** » Sat Sep 25, 2010 3:35 pm

"Not what I expected to come out of 'Having kids changes things'." she admits with a smile.

by **Taliesin** » Sat Sep 25, 2010 3:36 pm

"Oh, it does, but if WE had to go through that without information, I'm certainly not spoilering it all for YOU," he grinned. "Just letting you know--it's the greatest thing ever."

by **Sara Stanton** » Sat Sep 25, 2010 3:45 pm

"I was hoping it would be. Glad not everything was awful the way this world turned out."

by **Taliesin** » Sat Sep 25, 2010 3:45 pm

"A ray of sunshine in a crapsack world."

by **Sara Stanton** » Sat Sep 25, 2010 4:01 pm

She sighs faintly. "Yeah..."

by **Taliesin** » Sat Sep 25, 2010 4:02 pm

"Yeah...

Um, I should, uh...probably go, then," he said, carefully folding Will back over Sara's hand. "Um...yeah."

by **Sara Stanton** » Sat Sep 25, 2010 4:20 pm

"Hey... uhm... thanks for trying to help." she says, giving Taliesin a quick hug.

by **Taliesin** » Sat Sep 25, 2010 4:21 pm

"Yeah...if you change your mind and need help, come get me..." he said, awkwardly.

by **Sara Stanton** » Sat Sep 25, 2010 4:26 pm

Sara just nods.

by **Taliesin** » Sat Sep 25, 2010 4:29 pm

"Right...um, just try to keep him comfortable and...

Well, I'm gonna go..." and masterbate furiously

"G'night, Sara," he said, heading out the door.

by **Sara Stanton** » Sat Sep 25, 2010 4:38 pm

"Good night..." she says, sighing once Tal is out of the room and curls up on the bed, hugging what's left of Will.

by **Will Stanton** » Sat Sep 25, 2010 4:42 pm

--------------Later that evening------------------

Sara might awaken when she found her shirt to be damp--or, well, soaked, along with a good portion of the bed.

Standing out by the window, looking out...was Will, apparently. Bald (though the top of his head WAS green), and ill-defined (no muscle lines, no major details), but Will none-the-less. There was a weird ripple effect, too, as little waves apparently started at the top and worked their way down his body down to his toes.

by **Sara Stanton** » Sat Sep 25, 2010 4:45 pm

Sara blinks the sleep from her eyes and props herself up on the bed.

"Will?"

by **Will Stanton** » Sat Sep 25, 2010 4:48 pm

A pause.

"Sara?" he said, without turning around.

by **Sara Stanton** » Sat Sep 25, 2010 4:51 pm

"Yeah... Are you alright?" she asks, maybe bit of a stupid question considering how he looks right now. Wrapping herself in the covers she climbs out of the bed.

by **Will Stanton** » Sat Sep 25, 2010 4:52 pm

Another pause...and an eye seemed to rotate it's way around his head, until it was kinda-sorta floating in the back of his head.

"No...not quite yet."

by **Sara Stanton** » Sat Sep 25, 2010 4:56 pm

"Yeah, uh you... don't really look like you are. But you're better. Much better. Right?"

by **Will Stanton** » Sat Sep 25, 2010 4:57 pm

Another pause, in what was becoming a pattern.

"I'm better than I was in the car..."

by **Sara Stanton** » Sat Sep 25, 2010 5:00 pm

"And you're remembering things. Do you think you'll be okay?" she asks, stepping closer despite the 'dislocated' eye being a little disturbing.

by **Will Stanton** » Sat Sep 25, 2010 5:05 pm

The required pause

"I think so...it's very weird..."

by **Sara Stanton** » Sat Sep 25, 2010 5:09 pm

"Tell me about it." she says softly, putting a hand on Will's arm.

by **Will Stanton** » Sat Sep 25, 2010 5:10 pm

...or, she tried, at least. To her surprise, it would sploosh right through, cutting an arc in whatever direction she went in, as it turns out that Will wasn't exactly solid--somehow, he was standing there as a liquid, without spilling out all over the floor.

"Everything's a little hazy," he said, as if he didn't notice.
