WHO || Everyone! [ota]
WHAT || Shenanigans.
WHERE || Anywhere in the castle, surrounding environs, London, Andres, etc!
WHEN || Any time in Summer / continuations of threads from the last post when it hits captcha
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: 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.]

[ from here! ]

[ A BIG DICK, SARK?????????????? ] Power. [ deflates his ego by insinuating that means he's clearly never really had any :) ]

[certainproclivity]

[look she isn't wrong okay. being a bastard means a lot of shit. he and maxwell would have a lot to talk about if he wasn't atheist scum.]

Something like that. [in that mildly agitated tone that suggests she's 100% right, but he doesn't want to admit it and also ur a bitch.] But I know there's a cost to power in this world. St. Andrew learned it. I've no doubt Audrey Peterson will learn it. I am not going to end up like them. My defection to this organization means many things- among them is the fact that I will never attempt to make a play for that sort of power, myself. However, it also ensures that no one will ever truly hold power over me.

[basically it means he gets to be judge, jury, and executioner to people who abuse power and that works for him. it's not what he set out to do in this world or his own, but it seems the safest alternative.]

[superswank]

To this organization? Are you intending to stick around? [ NOT SURE HOW FEEL ]

[certainproclivity]

It's a show of good faith. [which is something that Sark never really needed to do before, but he's changing his tune. and also really doesn't want to be hunted down and murdered if he fucks up.] Besides given everything, I think I actually might be an asset here.

[disguised]

We'll see what Wynn says about that. [ with that, she'll open up the hall that leads down to the Round Table room, and he gets to watch the door roll back since I think their other briefing was downtown so HE'S NOT BEEN HERE YET?? p sure. welcome to the creepy hidden hallway with its dramatic pictures and shit, sark ]

[certainproclivity]

[Sark raises an eyebrow at all dis shit.] How utterly clandestine. [SAID THE SPY TO THE OTHER SPY.] I expected nothing less.

[superswank]

They take security seriously here, for obvious reasons.

[certainproclivity]

One would think if someone was clever enough to get in, they'd be clever enough to get past your security measures.

[BUT THAT'S NONE OF HIS BUSINESS. in the meantime, he's just gonna assess the artwork, like he didn't just say something weird and creepy.] I do have to admire the man's taste.

[superswank]

[ she hesitates before admitting: ] It's happened before. Someone getting in.

[certainproclivity]

[he tears his eyes away from his prissy appraisal of the artwork to give Sydney a Look.] Well. That must have been a very clever spy.

[he adds, a beat later.] And a stupid one. I took down an entire organized crime syndicate nearly single-handedly in broad daylight with only a shotgun, and as audacious as that act was, even I wouldn't try that with this castle.

[superswank]

Do you know what a... doppelganger is? [ syd's still not comfortable with this magic shit ]

[certainproclivity]

[Well, he got a 17 arcane lore, so I guess he knows what they are, which is actually fucking hilarious because HIS EX-GIRLFRIEND WAS MADE INTO A DOPPELGANGER ONCE. Of your best friend, actually. Who is dead now. W H O O P S.]

Ah. [and there you have it.] Well, I'm under the impression that they're not exceedingly common, so there is that.

[unless wynn is gonna doppelproof the castle by giving everyone tin foil hats and passwords.] One does have to love this world for overcomplicating everything right down to what construes a security risk, and how likely you are to get lit on fire for picking a lock incorrectly.

[superswank]

I suppose it never gets boring, at least. [ (unsure) and into the round table room they go, where he gets to marvel at the giant ass crystal dragon ]

[certainproclivity]

[Sark raises an eyebrow at it because w o w, and walks in folding his hands behind his back.] You never did like any of the more, for a lack of a better word, supernatural elements we encountered back where we came from. If this world hasn't changed you any- and I don't believe that it has- you would take boring and predictable over that any day.

[superswank]

You say that like we encountered quite a few of those things back home. [ the 'we' does not come easily ok ]

[certainproclivity]

If you've forgotten Rambaldi, then the Veil may have done you a favor, after all.

[Sark didn't forget- Sark couldn't forget. It was never his lifeblood, just something he constantly found himself a part of.

So naturally, he just dove straight into all the closest equivelents he could find here. A free agent with a good head for arcane lore gets very nice, cushy jobs.]

[wynn]

[ she looks at him strangely, but then the doors burst open and that bright light pours out and make the save, Sark, because you ain't used to this shit ]

[certainproclivity]

[he rolled an eight, so SWEET MOTHER OF ANASTASIA, IT BUUURNS...]

[superswank]

[ syd averts her eyes in time, so that she can look at him judgmentally as the doors close and the lights fade. ] … Hello, sir.

[certainproclivity]

[WOW SYDNEY YOU KNEW THAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN AND YOU DIDN'T WARN HIM. HO. He squints back at her with an unpleasant wet cat pissy look.]

You might have warned me...

[wynn]

[ syd presses her lips firmly together to hide her small smile.

:) ] What can I do for you?

[certainproclivity]

[Sark straightens a bit, rubbing his eyes with the back of his hand.] I believe Agent Bristow wishes to speak with you regarding the remaining details of the mess Mr. St. Andrew has left for us.

[he's just here because she won't let him kill Audrey Peterson.]

[superswank]

[ she raises her eyebrows at him like O IS THAT HOW YOU ARE GONNA PUT IT ] Specifically, Sark's role in it.

[certainproclivity]

And, more importantly, where Audrey Peterson fits into all of it.

[Ahem.]

[wynn]

I see. I'd be interested to hear your perspective first. [ he nods to sark. HAVE AT. ]
