[ The castle can be a happening place, even on more mundane days. This log is for random interactions over the course of this month.  Because not everyone is into parties, ok.  

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. 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. ]

[did you miss astrid? you know you did.she moved in first and gave attica some brief, peaceful alone time ... so much for that. :') because she's behind her now.]

We don't even get our own bathrooms.

[klepto]

Our last place was a better deal.

[ just keeeeep focusing on the outcome. they have connections, they have information, they have resources that ... can't be reflected in a shitty bedroom without an in-suite. still, she heads inside because at this point she just ... assumes astrid will invite herself into her space anyway and she doesn't need to do it. stripping off her jacket, she finds a place to leave it and assesses the room again. ]

I don't like roommates.

[ astrid knows this already, of course, but she feels like it really needs stating right now. it translates more or less to I'M WILDLY UNCOMFORTABLE WITH SHARING LOTS OF LIVING SPACE WITH ALL THESE PEOPLE THAT I DON'T REALLY LIKE BUT I'M INEPT AT HAVING ACTUAL FEELINGS. ]

[pathology]

No shit. I could call up my parents and get a London penthouse for us if I wanted a better deal.

[good call. astrid flounces in and drapes herself over one of the random chairs squire rooms inevitably have like she's some kind of cat.]

It's not like you're sharing this room with anyone. [she also wants to be like ~~EXCEPT FOR ME RIGHT~~ re:roommates but tries to avoid appearing too needy ... ] Just try not to change your tampon at the same time as all the other girls.

[klepto]

Castlemates.

[ whatever. semantics. she rolls her eyes and moves to peer out the window casually at the grounds. time was, she'd told herself that any castle she lived in would be hers and she wouldn't be sharing it with anyone. then there was astrid, and now ... ]

You must be thrilled.

[ more people to cling to. more interesting people who aren't attica for her to steal away to and not have to put up with the rough edges on her. ]

[pathology]

[oh gurl. don't be silly.] About essentially living in dorms again? Nah. I mean, it's not all bad. I went clubbing with some girls the other night, that was cool. But it wasn't like hanging out with you or anything.

[klepto]

[ don't mind attica she'll be interpreting that as ukw of course she wasn't invited to go clubbing except really she's just ... inept at paying attention to drakenet shit. either way her level of fucks is hovering near 0. ]

We don't hang out, Astrid. [ you skulk. ] Which girls? [ if she's going to be in this for a relatively long haul, she might as well figure out who's less annoying and more useful. ]

[pathology]

We hang out. We have hijinks. [so undeterred. AND IT WASN'T DRAKENET OK IT WAS FAITH RUNNING DOOR TO DOOR. you literally had to be there.] Anyway, just girls. [ouch that wis check. and charming was there too at some point but w/e dicks don't count obvs. DO YOU LIKE HOW THEY'RE GOSSIPING ABOUT YOU, R. KELLY???] Two of them were cool. One was a drag. The other was a speedster.

[klepto]

[ WELL SHE WASN'T THERE THEN W/E. ]

A speedster? [ well at least she got one handy detail out of this ... ] What's her name?

[pathology]

Umm ... let's see ....

[MEANWHILE, A STRANGE NOISE IS COMING FROM THE CLOSET.]
