WHAT || Shenanigans.
WHERE || Anywhere in the castle, surrounding environs, London, Andres, etc!
WHEN || Any time in April/May/June/July
HOW || Actionspam

[ The castle can be a happening place, even on more mundane days. This log is for random interactions over the course of these few months. Because not everyone is into parties, ok.   Characters participating in the following missions are asked to wait until their missions have concluded before tagging into things that take place chronologically after said missions:  Dead of Winter, Curse of the Homo Magi, Ravenloft, Shadow Bermuda, and City of Blood  If you aren't certain if that applies to you, please ask!  Characters who are not currently squired in may also post, as their characters are living in the castle awaiting their ceremonies.

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.]

Sebastian Trevethor OTA

[opprobrium]

[ Sebastian is either in the training room with his bastard sword, showing off the fancy moves he learned long long ago, while balancing a cigarette between his lips. He had felt like his sword skills were rusting here, so he was practicing against invisible targets.

He can also be found in his room, the door cracked a bit as he laid across the bed shirtless watching old TV shows, like the Twilight zone.]

[reallywicked]

[Faye was just walking by, not at all purposefully going past Sebastian's room. Nope. Not at all. Seeing the door open and hearing the tv on inside, she nudges the door open with her foot.]

God, you're useless, aren't you? [She says, leaning against the door frame and folding her arms across her chest.]

[opprobrium]

[ He started to sit up hearing the voice, but then he realized that was too much effort. He just lifted the remote and hit the closed caption button incase she decided to start talking so he could pay attention. Boys watching Rebel without a Cause.]

Yeah, so what? [ He finally responded as he dropped the remote to his side.]

[reallywicked]

So... [She doesn't actually have anything to follow that up with. She gives a shrug and takes a step into his room.]

What are you watching, anyway?

[opprobrium]

[ He looked from where he was laying back to her a second, he had expected some kind of comeback. he's more shocked that she didn't have anything. Yet, it was enough to get him to shrug.]

Old James Dean movie, I've been told I would like it. Rebel without a Cause. It's kinda boring to be honest.

[reallywicked]

[She steps further into the room to get a look at the tv, arms folded over her chest as she watches for a few moments. Without much warning, she drops her arms and turns towards him.]

Are you seriously pissed off because I was with Jordan? [Was. Past tense.] You and I were never- I mean, you didn't really think you were the only guy I was fooling around with, did you?

[opprobrium]

[ He lifted the remote pausing it as he rolled his head to look at her as he kept the remove in hand, now laid above his head.]

I wouldn't have cared who you fucked if you hadn't told me not to be fucking anyone else, I don't take kindly to being given standards that I actually aimed to try and keep while your off doing exactly what you told me not to. Yeah, I fucked a bar maid. [ he's not really realized that terms out dated.] But that was it, once besides you. I took you to see people I dont show anyone else. So yeah, I was pissed. Guess I was stupid thinking there was something more there.

[ He explained it as simple as he could, he didn't unpause the movie yet.]

[reallywicked]

Something more? [She echoes that last part, as if she's not sure if she heard him correctly. The idea that Sebastian had actual feelings for her was not something that ever crossed her mind.]

For what it's worth? I never slept with him. And it's over now.

[opprobrium]

[ He didn't move anything but his head, looking back at her. It was like he was empty inside the way he looked at her.]

I got no right to know who or what you do. Generally, I dont give a shit. [ He finally sat up, that red necklace falling back in place against his chest as he did. ]

Why should I care, Faye? [ His voice wasn't even mad, just a simple question.]

[reallywicked]

Hell if I know. But you did care when you thought I was with him. And now you're talking about thinking there was something more? What does that even mean?

[She's not good at this, not good at anything related to feelings.]

[opprobrium]

I dont fucking know.

[ He grumbled, looking at her again.]

I just know I don't like sharing you alright. You tell me not to do something, I expected the same.

[asuma]

[Klaus has already infiltrated one of your boys' bedroom, so he'll be chilling in the training center for whatever reason. He didn't tend to go there very often, unless it was to come and watch the new squires struggle to lift a sword. Sebsatian's skill catches his eye, however, and so he takes a moment to watch him without really ... trying to hide the fact that he's staring like a creeper. He does what he wants ok.]

[opprobrium]

[ Sebastian never gets to show off his sword skill here, so hell yea he can tell Klaus is creeping but that doesn't seem to care, he spins the sword rather dramatically between one hand to the next before stabbing it down into the floor, of course careful not to actually damage the floor. Taking the cigarette from his mouth he looked over to Klaus.]

Well? What do you think?

[asuma]

Personally, I prefer to use my bare hands these days, but I can appreciate talent when I see it.

[Which is saying a lot, coming from Klaus. Especially since he was using swords well before most people's great great great (ad nauseam) grandparents were born.]

[opprobrium]

[ he takes it as the compliment it seemed to be.]

Well, want a challenge? I can go either way, man.

[incantatio]

[Sawyer probably should have realized that in joining the Knights, she'd encounter more than her fair share of people who were skilled in combat but it's fair to say that she had only just started to appreciate how many there were, and just how skilled they were to boot.

The dark haired, half-elf might be gifted magically but her idea of a melee weapon is throwing whatever book she might have in her hand which was exactly why she'd been urged to spend time in the training room, to prepare herself for those times when she couldn't spell her way out of a situation.

Sawyer comes to an abrupt stop as she enters however, watching Sebastian for a quiet moment as a curious yet rather fearful ferret scurries up her leg and curls around her shoulders, peaking out at the swordsmanship from behind a veil of short, dark waves.]

Is everyone here a master swordsman or something?!

[opprobrium]

[ Sebastian could tell he was no longer alone when she got close enought but it was when he heard the voice that he smirked to himself. One last turn as he brought the long bastard sword down into the floor. He didn't lave a mark on the floor just showing off. He looked the woman over.]

I wouldn't call myself as master, but hey. I'll take what I can get.

[incantatio]

Me and sharp things... not really friends. Seriously I'm even careful around sporks.

[At least her grin suggests she's joking about the latter.]

So, looks pretty mastery from where I'm standing. [A beat.] At a very safe distance.

[opprobrium]

You're kidding right?

[ He asked as he motioned her forward.]

Come here.

[incantatio]

[Her Face? You want me to what now?!]

I - um. I'm not? [Grimacing.] Okay...

[Oscar (the ferret) knows better than to get too close to sharp things and with a small, alarmed screech, he scurries down her body and darts across the floor to climb up onto a nearby table.]

Thanks for the vote of confidence. [Directed at Oscar as she steps closer to Seb.]

[opprobrium]

[ Sebastian arched a brow at that. ]

That a familiar? [ he asked as he waited for her to get closer to him before offering the hilt over.]

This shit's a family heirloom, none of that standard issue most have here. So, it's real sharp.

[incantatio]

[She nods as Oscar raises onto his hind legs, as if to show off, aware he's being talked about.]

Uh huh. That's Oscar. [She doesn't even need to look to know that he's preening.

As her fingers curl around the hilt of the sword, his words sink in, something close to alarm touching her features as she somehow resists the urge to immediately give it back to him.]

Sharp?! Are you - please say you're messing with me...

[opprobrium]

[ Sebastian nods at the creature, yeah he sees you. ]

Yeah, well trust me alright? I'm gonna stand beside you on the opposite side alright? So, try and be careful, I'll walk you through some basic stuff.

[incantatio]

[She gapes for a moment, uncertainty etched across her features but whether it's because he seems so sure of himself or just, something about his manner? It takes only a few more seconds to decide that he at least seems like somebody she should trust. (SM 26. Bless.)]

Alright. [Exhaling a breath and trying to force herself to relax.] Be careful. Trust you. Do as you say... I can, got it.

[opprobrium]

[ She had the right intuition there, despite the fact he was often a big bag of dicks, he didn't mind a chance at this. Even if he can't recall where or just who he learned the sword from it was one of his prides.

Standing at his sidehe lifted his hands as if the blade was still in his hands.]

Stand like this, part your legs a little since that blades a bit heavy it will help counter the weight and your strength. Hold it up like this.
