[ 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.]

Archer around the castle (OTA + Faith)

[isisagent]

HOLY FUCK! I forgot about Babou two! [Archer shouts in the middle of the castle with no preamble, before sprinting off toward Faith's room, with little to no regard for whomever he may knock aside in the process.]

[Also, he's definitely wearing a ridiculous hat he had crafted from the horns of the minotaur he killed.]


Feel free to bump into Archer as he tears will-nilly through the halls, or anytime after - he spends most of his day at the bar, or sleeping.

[65]

[oh here's archer in a crazy hat running through the halls. why is finnick even surprised???]

Archer? I was hoping to speak with you for a moment. Unless you're too busy ...

[isisagent]

[Archer's excitement to see Babou II is matched only by how much he wants to brag about his minotaur hat/mask abomination.]

[He slides to a stop next to Finnick.]

Yes you may touch my horns, but only because you asked nicely.

[65]

That ... was not what I intended to speak with you about. [he pokes at one of the horns anyway, though.]

[isisagent]

Sure it wasn't. You can lie to the faux-leather minotaur face, Finnick, but you can't lie to yourself. [Archer stares him in the eyes in uncomfortable silence.]

[65]

[he stares back for a moment like "what the fuck" before finally getting out with it:] Have you considered which sect of the knighthood you'd like you be in, if I ever promote you?

[isisagent]

[Archer holds a finger up, like 'wait' ...Then takes the mask off slowly]

I wanna say... the dragon one?

[65]

[facepalm. yep, this conversation was definitely premature. maybe in a few more years, archer will be ready.] They're all "the dragon one."

[isisagent]

A, nobody likes a know-it-all, buddy. [Archer pokes Finnick in the chest.] and, B, excuse me for being more concerned with, you know being assigned to a mission than reviewing the handbook. I just assumed I would be... Whatever the medieval British equivalent of "top ISIS field operative" is. Black knight?

[65]

That would probably be Dragon's Claw. [and definitely not happening for you any time soon sry to say. and not just because he ships elena and archer.] I just wanted to see if you had been thinking about it.

[isisagent]

[Archer folds his arms, and stares at Finnick, and sarcastically says;]

No Finnick, my only motivation is to drink, fuck, eat, sleep, and occasionally kill people.

[Wait - that... was sarcasm, right?]

[65]

[you know ... he's not sure if it's sarcasm or not. and he doesn't care.] Just look into it, all right? And let me know if you reach a decision.

[moonheart]

[ perched up on the steps as archer moves through the lobby, a very grown up babou two shakes his kitty butt as he watches him with a swishing tale... and then pounces from above with a ... nat 20. i can't make this shit up. OCELOT ATTACK.

faith stands up on the balcony above with wide eyes. ] Babou, no!

[isisagent]

JESUS CHRIST! Babou! Watch the claws!

Gah! This is exactly why everyone talks about you behind your back, you fox-eared asshole. Shit like this.

[He scowls at Babou]

[moonheart]

[ the ocelot lets out a roar and tries to rip archer's face off (atk ... 17, idk if that hits jfk;f). is this normal ocelot behavior? we just don't know. faith comes running down the steps. ] Bad kitty! Heel ! [ and with her million ranks in handle animal and roll of 19, babou grudgingly sits back on his haunches, watching archer hungrily. ] What the hell, Babou?

[isisagent]

[It's normal Babou behavior. And... Jesus Archer's AC is 22. Even 18 flat footed. I forgot he's kind of a badass now that he's leveling up...]

[He blocks the Ocelot's paw with his lightning fast Krav Maga skills.]

Yeah, no. I know how you operate, you adorable furry little ball of claws and piss. [Archer's suddenly grinning from ear to ear.] Awww... I missed you too, buddy. [He pats Babou on the head.]

[moonheart]

[ instead of being weirded out, faith looks charmed by the scene, ok. so cute, guys. ] ... He's usually not like that. Too much.

[isisagent]

Oh, it's not entirely his fault... It's in his stupid Ocelot genes. [Archer rubs Babou's belly.] Is it in your genes? Is it?!

[moonheart]

I'll be sorry to see him go. You better let me have visiting rights since I took care of him for a whole year.

[isisagent]

Naturally. I mean, my room has a pretty open-door policy anyway, when it comes to female visitors.

Except during breakfast hours. That's Sterling's time.

[moonheart]

Not like that, silly. [ she gives him a playful shove and a grin, and then scritches babou between the ears ] Spoilers, he likes bacon. So keep an eye on that breakfast or it'll go missing quick.

[isisagent]

Well, he's smart, then. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.

[Archer leans close to Babou.] Which is exactly why you'll be spending it in the hall if you come near mine, capiche?

[moonheart]

So how'd your mission go? You guys were gone forever.

[isisagent]

It went pretty well, all things considered. Elena made a pretty amazing improvised explosive device, I shot a dude's face off, Finnick became an alcoholic, Des and I got matching badass spy cars, and I killed a minotaur. [Archer gets progressively more excited as he rattles off the exploits.]

A fucking minotaur! [And this is the moment where he actually is so impressed with himself, that he suddenly has a raging erection. It was bound to happen with all this minotaur talk.]

[moonheart]

[ faith's eyebrows shoot up because she does not... miss that. it'd be difficult to, mr. burgandy. ] Uhhhh,... [ her eyes pointedly shoot to his crotch and she starts laughing ] Might wanna calm down there, cheetah.
