[ 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 rescuing Gar in New York City, but before the planned Keijen Blade concert at the beginning of 2017.

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.]

[David doesn't come into the bar often, but when he does, he doesn't actually do a lot of drinking. He mostly does it to hang out with members of the Hide and relax a bit. Today he has a beer he's barely touched, but he will raise it to Dante as he comes in.]

Hey, man.

Oh, hey! [he grabs a beer from behind the counter and then takes a seat with david.] How've things been with you?

[He nods with a deep breath.]

A little slow. There's this problem I've been trying to work on for a while but we're not getting anywhere.

[Which is ... a dramatic understatement of things, but what can you do?]

Yeah? What is it? Anything I could help with?

[he doubts it but ... listening can be helpful, okay :'( ]

[He gives a small shrug.]

There's a ward of the castle who's under a love curse. We've been trying to break it for a couple years now, and so far we're having no luck.

[so yeah this is definitely a thing where his version of "help" is just listening.]

Oh ... huh. I'm guessing you already tried all the normal curse removal stuff. Must be some powerful magic.

[He nods.]

Their people have been cursed with it for centuries, and they're some of the most powerful magic users I've ever seen. But one of the other knights on the mission knows someone they think can help, so we've got our fingers crossed.

Geez. I hope that works out, then.

You and me both. We've been working on it for a few years now, and at times it's felt like we're running in circles.

Is it because the magic is that much above our pay grade, or ...?

[He nods in agreement.]

The curse came from a god. It's not necessarily going to be as easy as finding a counter spell.

Man, I would not want to get on a god's bad side so much that I got cursed. Yikes.

[he nods a bit.]

It is not fun, trust me. I'd rather be turned into a tree than be stuck under a love curse.

You were ... a tree? I feel like I missed this story.

Oh, not me. But gods do that sometimes when they're cursing people.

Oh. Yeah, true. Point. I have enough trouble working through my own feelings without godly interference.

[He smirks a bit.]

Tell me about it.

Nah ... I doubt you actually wanna know.

[His eyebrows go up for a moment before he shrugs.]

You listened to me, I wouldn't mind doing the same.

No, it's ... it's kind of silly. You gotta promise you won't laugh, okay? I know how it sounds.

[He gives a small shrug.]

I will not laugh.

[Mostly because he's pretty stoic to begin with.]

[he clearly forgot who he was talking to.]

I just — people are always interested in me — you know, romantically — and I don't feel that way ... about anyone. I've never felt that way about anyone.

[... That was not what he was expecting. And something he understands way too well.]

Would it be weird if I said that I feel the same way sometimes?

[He's only really had one romantic relationship and it was ... mostly manipulated by magic, so who knows how much of it was real?]

I don't know if it's weird or not, but it makes me feel less weird. I've always thought, maybe it's just not the right person, but ... what if there isn't a right person?

[He gives a small shrug.]

I mean, I was with someone once, but I later found out that I had been manipulated by magic through the majority of it, so I don't know how much of it was actually real. And I haven't really been with anyone since.

[He then takes another sip of his beer.]

At this point, I've come to the conclusion that maybe there is and maybe there isn't, but I'm okay with my life and the direction I'm going without having to make it a priority.
