[ 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 who are not currently squired in may also post, as their characters are living in the castle awaiting their ceremonies.  This takes place after the Knights have returned from Dimitris' wedding. 

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.]

[ And before shipping out on hers, Skye does what she does best—gets in people's faces. She toils around the castle, trying to stick her nose into new people's business as well as old, inviting herself to whatever they're doing with a volley of questions, most pertaining to why they're doing it and how what their projects are serve the Knighthood.

It seems like, universally, most of them ultimately do, but in the same way that university researchers ultimately benefit a university—not an immediate, pragmatic use, but an eventual, theoretical one.

Otherwise, she's found in the training room with a scary intensity that appears to have encouraged her to double down on her physical training. Something about near-death experiences, man. ]

[builtinacave]

[he looks up at her from his work table like who are you even. who the eff is this??] Making a robotic pangolin. It's exactly how it sounds.

[hacker]

A robotic pango— Why?

[builtinacave]

Because I'm taking requests for nonsensical tech, apparently. [he screws something into the pangolin's little metal tummy.] It's fine, just keeping my skills sharp.

[hacker]

Requests. [ She makes a face. ] So that's supposed to be useful to someone? What is it, the weirdest undercover mission ever?

[felidity]

[ skye might be in the gym more than kali -- if only because kali still has the punching bag in her room and the second spring sprung she abandoned the equipment in the gym for the fresh air -- and even though she promoted skye, she still makes a point to watch her progress. she's the professional beater-upper after all. ]

Breathe into the punch, Skye. [ she pushes her hair back with one of the big hand pads before holding it up at the ready again. ] Or at least breathe.

[hacker]

I am breathing! [ Skye's shoulders hunch and shrug and she cracks her neck before taking another series of swings (atk 19, atk 8). The second one flies wide. ] You're distracting me.

[felidity]

I'm not doing anything! [ the protest is automatic, face scrunching up even as her eyes flicker around like she's trying to figure out if she is doing something that is distracting. she decides that she's not and squares her shoulders. ]

[hacker]

[ The worst is knowing she's right. It's not anything Kali's doing, it's Alex's voice in her mind, making her wonder if there's something else to the fact that she's here at all. Skye hates that, doubting it, reaching for something like this. She takes another two jabs at the punching bag (atk 25, 19) and sends it swinging with the force of the blows. They seem more natural, fueled by frustration like that, than the awkward, stilted blows she was laying before. ]

You're criticizing. And hovering. And — [ She drops her hands. ] And it's fine. Sorry. [ She shakes her head. ] It's not you.

[bredinthebone]

[Malina usually stays in her lane but she's going over some notes for an old mission that happen to be in Helen's lab in the Hoard. She's also trying to keep herself from being unbelievably pissed in the process. It's a work in progress.

Right now she's just a nice turmoil of worried-angry when it comes to Helen, though it's starting to swing more and more towards angry as time goes on. She hears someone coming (listen 18), but she doesn't know it's Skye so she just thinks it's another Hoarder trying to clear her out.]

I'll be out in a second, I'm just looking for something.

[hacker]

Take your time. I'm a whole world of not the Hoard police. [ She pops up beside Malina to glance over what she's working on. ] What's all this?

[bredinthebone]

[She glances up actually at the familiar voice before flashing her a grin.]

Oh, hey sweetie. I was just going through Helen's old research.

[hacker]

You know, I'm beginning to think you call everyone that, and my feelings are hurt. [ There's a slight grin on her face as she says it, like she knows she's being a petulant ass. ] Research on what?

[clarkfuckingkent]

[Clark finds her in the training room, all super focused and determined. His eyebrows lift, and he's not sure if he should interrupt. He'll take care of putting on his new enchanted handwraps. Oooh so shiny.]

You, uh- picturing anyone in particular?

[He says eventually, giving her a sheepish sort of smile.]

[hacker]

[ Skye laughs the laugh of you have no idea. ] You ever meet someone who just ... really rubs you the wrong way, get off on the wrong foot but in a major way?

[clarkfuckingkent]

How major are we talking?

[hacker]

You remember how I said I'm a good judge of character? The kind of major where I don't believe they belong here.

[starprince]

[ peter looks up from his very important work to answer her question: ] ... Making a new mix tape.

[hacker]

Tell me this one's been updated since 1970.

[starprince]

Alex got me some other tapes. I'm pulling the best stuff onto one.

[hacker]

Did Alex tell you about Spotify?

[recruited]

[ When Steve comes into the training room he makes a little beeline for Skye who seems to be trying to train herself to death. ]

You're gonna hurt that bag.

[hacker]

That's the idea. [ She shrugs her shoulders, cracks her neck, and takes another one-two at it before she grabs the bag to slow its minor swing and look back at him. ] You want to tag in?

[recruited]

[ Steve winces and continues to make his way over to her. He steps on the other side of the punching bag to look at her. ]

Depends. Do you play to hurt me too?

[hacker]

It's not like that. [ She gives the bag a last glance and steps back, shaking her head. ] But having Sarandis' people inside the castle, it ... I wasn't remotely prepared. One of his chipped zombie drones nearly killed me—would have, if it weren't for Alex. I never want to let that happen again.
