[ The castle can be a happening place, even on more mundane days. This log is for random interactions over the course of November and December.

You are encouraged to start your own threads and tag around, and feel free to threadjack into any on-going threads that aren't specified as 'closed' in the subject lines since people can enter into rooms even in the middle of what's going on. WE ARE BIG ON THREAD-JACKING HERE. You can also specify 'single thread', meaning you want only one response for all participants, rather than multi-thread, where a number of different scenes/threads can be done as replies to the top prompt.]

[ her inability to get drunk unless she inhales two of three pitchers in quick succession deeply saddens kali, though it does not dampen her insatiable curiosity.

insert cat joke here.

this curiosity is what brings her scooting on to the stool next to logan even though literally every other stool is free and leaning against the bar to look at him like the adorable personification of chinhands. ]

You smell like cold. Please explain in as much detail as you desire, why?

[ yeah, you ain't getting a "hi" or anything. ]

[adamantiumed]

[ logan looks up slowly like da fuq is this ] ... Quite a nose on you.

[felidity]

Thank you. [ /STARES EXPECTANTLY. ]

[adamantiumed]

It's probably the metal.

[felidity]

[ taking this as the go ahead to continue asking questions, kali does so. ]

What metal?

[adamantiumed]

[ instead of answering, he just glances at her, and then after a beat, pulls his knuckles up and shows her.

snikt. ]

[felidity]

Oh.

[ instead of looking scared, she leans forward. (this is how she got gored by the chimera, don't be surprised.) and tentatively stretches out her fingers, lip caught between her teeth as she looks up at logan like can i touch 'em? ]

[adamantiumed]

They're sharp. [ so watch out ]

[felidity]

I heal fast. [ she's very thorough in her inspection, absolutely enamoured with child like fascination, but also careful tracing her fingertips against his knuckles, pricking her finger against the tip of one blade with a faint inhale. once she is satisfied, she draws her hand back, sticking her finger in her mouth to stem the bleeding. ]

You're right. It's the metal.

[adamantiumed]

[ he retracts the claws the moment she pulls away, b/c that was kind of weird ] Figured.

When you said you heal fast...

[felidity]

My blood is full of pluripotents -- unspecified stem cells -- so my body naturally heals faster than humans. [ she pops her finger out of her mouth with that pop! noise and, look!, the tiny cut is healed. ]

[adamantiumed]

You're a regenerator. [ you know, what you said. but in english. ]

[felidity]

I'm a Moreau. It'd be silly to make us... squishy and delicate.

[adamantiumed]

What's a moreau?

[felidity]

[ squint. u have claws, y u no know? ]

Moreaus are scientifically engineered lifeforms made using a form of transgenesis which is the process of introducing an exogenous gene — called a transgene — into a living organism so that the organism will exhibit a new property and transmit that property to its offspring, in my case, feline.

[ a beat. ] Human-feline hybrid. Meow.

[adamantiumed]

And who exactly is doing all this scientific engineering?

[felidity]

Pegasus. Like the mythical creature, a horse with wings.

[adamantiumed]

Never heard of 'em.

[felidity]

That is, generally, a point in the favor of secret government agencies.

[adamantiumed]

[ his expression darkens instantly at that ] Should've guessed.

[felidity]

Do you not like them because of your claws?

[adamantiumed]

That, and more.

[felidity]

Like what? [ the impropriety of asking questions like that completely escapes her. ]

[adamantiumed]

Because of the way they look at people like you and me. What we are to them.

[felidity]

Weapons? [ she doesn't 100% get why that's bad so there is an underlying current of confusion in her question. ]
