[ 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.

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.]

[oh fun, phone duty. alex endures his while digging through a carton of chinese takeout, alternating answering calls in russian and japanese. (if the other person actually knows the language, they just get put on hold until the end of time.) this time, he picks up and answers in japanese.] Moshi moshi. [and then he proceeds to relay the plot of gravity to the other end until they hang up.]

[graveflowers]

[ vi is pattering by barefoot because fuck shoes, and drying her hair with a towel from her adventures learning to not drown with finnick when alex's japanese makes her pause. she leans against the desk, still in her bathing suit, and waits for him to hang up. ] Isn't Moshi the dinosaur in Mario Kart?

[ambitionist]

I think you mean Yoshi. [knowledge whatever the fuck 12.]

[graveflowers]

...yeah probably. So what's Moshi? Oh! Mulan's dragon? [ she is having a bad day for getting names right, don't judge. ]

[ambitionist]

That's Mushu. [i'm not knowledge checking that ok HE HAS SISTERS and sonja was in mulan's target age group when it came out. she was probably all over that shit.]

[graveflowers]

[ don't even lie, alex loved it. pretty sure nat was in that target group too. ] So Moshi is Brandi's foray into tv?

[ambitionist]

[it's true ... he did. :'( and probs.] Moesha. [knowledge: pop culture (I REMEMBERED WHAT WHATEVER THE FUCK IS) 14] Moshi moshi is a phone greeting in Japanese.

[graveflowers]

[ she smiles a little. she had been trying to see how far he'd let her go before her just answered her main question. ] Cool. Are you Japanese?

[ambitionist]

[really gurl. really.] Do I look Japanese?

[nothingsodivine]

Does anyone actually answer the phone here normally?

[Des is coming back from... wherever the hell he goes when he's not here JUST IN TIME TO CATCH THAT. He also doesn't speak Japanese, but he assumes that was not a Japanese person on the other end of the line.]

[ambitionist]

[oh it's this fuck.] I think it's part of the job description not to, actually. Did you need something?

[nothingsodivine]

[He flashes his vistor's pass.] Just making sure no one tackles me on the way back in. With the way I'm coming and going, you can never be too sure.

[ambitionist]

I wasn't aware people who aren't knights or squires got to come and go as they please. Seems like it'd be a security hazard.

[nothingsodivine]

Other people don't. I'm special.

[That and he's been hovering this castle for a LONG-ASS TIME.]

[ambitionist]

Maybe your visitor's pass should be star-shaped, then.

[nothingsodivine]

In a perfect world, I wouldn't need one. [Maybe you could just join the knights, Des. Oh wait. Apparently, that suggestion triggers you or something...]

[ambitionist]

Because you'd get to be a knight, or because you're that eager to get away?

[lissatrinall]

[ when he gets back from his magical mystery tour with vi, someone's standing there by the desk, arms folded. snake-lady turns around to regard him with her strange slitted eyes narrowed. ]

[ambitionist]

[well his will save was ... not pretty so apparently she managed to intimidate him a bit.] I'm sorry, did you need something?

[lissatrinall]

[ her intimidate was a 15 from... just standing there, so that's pretty legit. actual scariest person in the castle. ] You're Alex?

[ambitionist]

That's me.

[lissatrinall]

Why weren't you on duty 20 minutes ago?

[ambitionist]

I was having an emergency. [bluff 28]

[lissatrinall]

So were we. When you have to leave, you call someone to replace you.

[ambitionist]

Rookie mistake. It won't happen again, promise. [he smiles at her with a cha nat 20. CAN'T MAKE IT UP OK.]
