I13DT - You Want A Revelation

Previously the lodgings of the late Lady Braddock, grandmother to Brian and Elizabeth, the Dower House fell into disuse for a number of years, particularly after Braddock Manor passed to Brian himself. Since the arrival of the University, it has been renovated into housing for faculty, staff, and students with special lodging needs.

"That does sound like something that was going to happen regardless. Unless... The visualizations could have been what caused it retroactively."

Miranda sneezed and the wings got bigger, still not quite proportional to her frame though, if one were using Nailah as a measuring stick.

"And she's shown signs of precognition. If she picked up on what's happening right now this morning she could have very well influenced herself the way you used to pick up on other peoples' thoughts."

"Does it hurt at all?" she adds, turning to Miranda.

"You've muscles that aren't used to bearing this weight, and you've limbs that need calories as much as any part of you. You'll likely need to eat more if these stay."

"Of course." she says, heading to the bedroom to grab an old blouse and blazer that wouldn't be too big on Miranda.

Miranda put on the blouse, taking a minute to adjust it a bit so it fit a little better. "So you think these might not stick around, Mum?"

She stood up and stretched her wings a bit. Where the feathers caught the light, they exhibited the blue-purple iridescence of raven feathers. "Well, at least they're not bat wings, I suppose."

"I appreciate the offer, but Mom is the one who really would have to put up with it," she said, looking to Nailah.

"Tis... not really the season for it," she commented. Then she sneezed and the wings got bigger, finally close to proportional if such a thing could be said to be proportional.

"We'll see," Miranda said, turning too sharply and knocking her wings against the door frame. "That assumes I don't break them off first," she said, wincing.

"Try folding them in a little more so they lie flush against your back. Here, let me help..." she says, carefully pushing Miranda's wings in so the top-most join is just standing out above her shoulder with the rest of the folded wing pressed against her back. "See if you can keep them like this."

Miranda adjusted a bit, "They want to flex out. Though this is a bit more comfortable."

"If you feel them getting too tight just go ahead and let them spread wide, don't worry about knocking things down. They're unfamiliar muscles and the last thing you want is a cramp."

"I imagine there's not a lot you can do if they cramp," she said, reaching back to touch the feathers.
