I13DT: That's Me in the Corner

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Jun 06, 2014 5:14 pm

Will made the long walk (across the hallway) and knocked on Sam and Nailah's door.

He was wearing this.

by **Nailah Weaver** » Fri Jun 06, 2014 5:16 pm

Nailah opens the door, wearing the same outfit she'd worn the other day. "Interesting choice." she says, nodding approvingly. "Come on in."

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Jun 06, 2014 5:17 pm

"Is the Morrigan here yet?" Will asked, coming in and looking around.

by **Nailah Weaver** » Fri Jun 06, 2014 5:40 pm

"Not yet, but she should be soon. Have a seat. Can I offer you anything?"

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Jun 06, 2014 5:40 pm

"No, no, I'm fine--I actually brought something," he said, holding up a brown bag with a bottle inside. "I'll go put this in the kitchen, yeah?"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Fri Jun 06, 2014 6:01 pm

"Certainly. Thank you."

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Jun 06, 2014 6:02 pm

"Right," Will said, walking into the kitchen.

A bit anxiously, he shifted weight back and forth from his feet, and absentmindedly picked a few crumbs off the counter.

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Jun 06, 2014 7:59 pm

Will shifted one arm into a broom, and the other into a dustpan, and went about tidying up the kitchen some more. Once you start, right?

by **Nailah Weaver** » Fri Jun 06, 2014 8:11 pm

After a couple moments of waiting for Will in the living room Nailah walks over to the kitchen, quirking an eyebrow when she sees Will cleaning up.

"Are you sweeping the kitchen?"

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Jun 06, 2014 8:12 pm

"Just...straightening up a bit. Before she gets back."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Fri Jun 06, 2014 8:31 pm

"You really don't have to do that."

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Jun 06, 2014 10:00 pm

"No, I'm happy to help. Is there anything else around here I can do to pitch in?" Will said, absorbing the various debris into his dustpan-hand.

by **Nailah Weaver** » Fri Jun 06, 2014 10:16 pm

"I don't think so, unless you feel like dusting in the living room." Nailah says, clearly perplexed.

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Jun 06, 2014 10:17 pm

"You got dust problems?" Will said, one hand switching to feather duster mode. "I eat dust for breakfast."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Fri Jun 06, 2014 10:19 pm

"Have you been talking to Onyx recently?"

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Jun 06, 2014 10:21 pm

"Just when she comes over to look after Robin when we're both in class or busy. Why do you ask?"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Fri Jun 06, 2014 10:24 pm

I'm just wondering why you're so eager to clean our apartment."

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Jun 06, 2014 10:25 pm

"Just figured I'd pitch in a little bit while waiting for Sam to arrive, that's all."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Fri Jun 06, 2014 10:27 pm

"Well I'm not going to stop you if you have your heart set on it. I'm just surprised."

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Jun 06, 2014 10:28 pm

"Is it bothering you?" Will said, glancing at the clock. "I could make myself useful in some other way..."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Fri Jun 06, 2014 10:31 pm

"Not particularly, no. It's just unusual to have a guest want to make themselves useful."

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Jun 06, 2014 10:32 pm

"Well, you're kind of doing me a favor right?" Will said, running his finger on a shelf and sucking up some dust. "Might as well return it."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Fri Jun 06, 2014 10:37 pm

"I wasn't expecting one in return, especially not housekeeping, but if it makes you happy..." Nailah says, sitting down on the couch.

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Jun 06, 2014 10:38 pm

"Quid pro quo, Professor Weaver," Will said, in a very bad Anthony Hopkins voice.

by **Nailah Weaver** » Fri Jun 06, 2014 10:42 pm

"Are you worried about owing me a favor because of all this? Because that's usually more of a Fae thing."

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Jun 06, 2014 10:43 pm

"Well, no, not precisely. I just...you know, my curiosity is piqued, and I don't want to be the rude guy who's just standing in the back taking notes."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Fri Jun 06, 2014 10:49 pm

"Oh, I see! Well... if you want you can be in charge of... the Bodhrán. It's a kind of tambourine with a tipper."

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Jun 06, 2014 10:50 pm

"What do I do?" Will asked, walking over.

by **Nailah Weaver** » Fri Jun 06, 2014 10:53 pm

"Just try to keep a quiet, steady rhythm going and add some flourishes at the appropriate times. I'll give you signals during the ritual."

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Jun 06, 2014 10:57 pm

"Right," Will said, shifting one of his hands into the mallet. "OK, now we just have to wait for the star herself to appear."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Fri Jun 06, 2014 11:13 pm

"I'm curious; what made you change your mind on all this? If you don't mind me asking."

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Jun 06, 2014 11:14 pm

"Curiosity.

I've never had a day quite like the one in the DR. I want to see more."

*Donk*

by **Nailah Weaver** » Fri Jun 06, 2014 11:16 pm

"Well, I hope you won't be disappointed then. This isn't going to be quite as... flashy."

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Jun 06, 2014 11:17 pm

"Well, there's degrees of flashy, you know? That's why I wanted to shadow her in the first place."

*Bonk*

by **Nailah Weaver** » Fri Jun 06, 2014 11:20 pm

"This is meant to be played with this, you know." she says, holding up a drum-stick that's about 4 inches long between her fingers.

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Jun 06, 2014 11:21 pm

Will looked at it, and then stretched his fingers out more to match it. "Closer?"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Fri Jun 06, 2014 11:25 pm

"You lay it across your middle finger so your index and ring finger and flick it against the drum."

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Jun 06, 2014 11:26 pm

"Right," Will said, popping off the finger he had shifted, and placing it over his middle finger. "Like so, eh?"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Fri Jun 06, 2014 11:27 pm

Nailah quirks an eyebrow and chuckles. "I suppose that'll work."

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Jun 06, 2014 11:27 pm

"Right," Will said, donking the drum again.

"Anyway, I want to see the dull parts and the exciting parts. The dull parts are often the most exciting, you know?"
