[ 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.]

[ attica walks in and stares at him for a solid full run of "monster" by kanye west & co. it's actually kind of impressive how he attempts to hit nicki minaj's varying voices. a+. she's leaning in the doorway. by the time the main rap verses of the song trail off, she checks her phone, officially out of time to entertain this. ]

Is there going to be an intermission anytime soon? I need a car.

[ex_psionic439]

[Lmao ilu.

And congrats, Attica is the first person who has genuinely surprised him like holy shit how long have you been standing there, gurl. Long enough to catch his crazy Nicki Minaj impersonations???]

Shit. I mean, yeah. [Snatching up his phone on the way out so he can pause that shit (because lbr he plans to come right back to it).]

[klepto]

[ yeah boi.

she turns so that he can move past her through the doorway and then follows him out. ]

You should consider carrying on with your concert out at the desk. Admittedly, I'm not familiar with the disciplinary action involved in abandoned your duties, but I can't imagine it's a quick way to move up in this castle.

[ex_psionic439]

This is why you get the expensive car.

[The acoustics weren't the same despite it being a grandiose castle lobby, and it drew a lot more attention than the bathroom, but at least she had half a brain. Please allow him to express his gratitude for that fact by signing out a Ferrari in your name or something, gurl.]

[klepto]

[ that warrants a tiny smile out of attica. ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED. literally the first non-drow to get that. like i barely even have smile icons that's how rare that shit is. ]

I pick my good deeds carefully. [ aka yeah i expected that to have some pay-off yeeeee. she plucks the keys from his hands. ] I won't say a word.

[ex_psionic439]

[Aww yes, son. He's not sure whether she means the car or his rendition of Nicki Minaj and her alter-ego(s), but he's not going to complain either way. But he still needs to put something down for the sign-out sheet, and he has no idea who you are.]

Name?

[klepto]

Attica. Cabot's squire. [ she's not really sure how much information he needs so she'll just tack that on. ] And you?

[ex_psionic439]

[Jotting that shit down. He isn't sure how much information he needs either and tbqh he doesn't really care at the moment. Once he's done he drops the clipboard back on the desk like it's completely useless to him now. Because it is.]

Adam. No idea who Cabot is though. [Kanyeshrug.] You wouldn't happen to know a Tia, would you?

[klepto]

Not so far, why?

[ she tucks the keys snugly into her pocket and leans on the counter, interested. ]

[ex_psionic439]

Supposedly she's my mentor. [He had yet to actually meet her though] I think she's been out on assignment or something.

[klepto]

Well, that explains why your desk duty turned into karaoke. [ her voice is flat as she notes the observation. ] Did you find Andrew and get issued your equipment?

[ex_psionic439]

I got a phone. Joining up seemed to come with its own cellular plan. [A beat.] Who the fuck is Andrew?

[klepto]

I got some time.

[ she stuffs the keys into her pocket. ]

I'll take you down there to get the orientation.

[ex_psionic439]

[He glances at the front desk like, um...

But he has already abandoned desk duty once today, so fuck it.]

Sure.

[klepto]

[ she makes a note of that decision in her mental register. good :) he's easily influenced. she turns and begins to lead the way towards the equipment room without any other form of reply. he'll figure it out. ]

[ex_psionic439]

[More like he is too chickenshit to piss her off tbh...

But he will scribble "brb" on a piece of paper because really, they should be implementing restroom breaks up in the bitch, and leave that on the desk before following her down the hallway.]

One nerd, coming right up

[badexample]

[Andrew's days consist mainly of sleeping. But when he's not passed out, he's easy enough to find, repairing shit in the computer lab. He's knee deep in some tinkering, taking shit apart to put it back better (repair 25). He's a bit engrossed in it, so he doesn't notice them. Whoops.]

[klepto]

Clear your schedule for the next forty minutes.

[ attica doesn't bother announcing herself as she comes in, glancing around without ever letting her eyes really land on andrew. ] You're in charge of equipment orientation, right?

[ex_psionic439]

Forty minutes? Isn't there a condensed version? [FUCK today was turning out to be so boring.]

[badexample]

Uh... what? [he's just filling you with so much confidence in his abilities right now.] I, uh- I ran the last couple, yeah... Why?

[ex_psionic439]

[Adam isn't really in the mood to pull any punches to spare your feelings--sorry, Andrew.]

Is this for real? [Addressing Attica since she was the only one who seemed to know what she was doing.]

[klepto]

You missed a spot.

[ she rolls her eyes, grabbing adam's shoulder to shove him forward. ]

The knight he's squired to hasn't been in the castle. He needs the run-down. [ there's a tacit 'and i'm not the fucking salvation army i do not give back to my community; all yours.' ]

[badexample]

I'm not- I mean... everyone's supposed to do their own orientations. I shouldn't- Uh.

[He looks between the both of them.]

Hi.

[klepto]

Let me be clearer.

[ she leans forward on the desk. ]

You can either help him, or you can't. I'd like to know which.

[badexample]

I mean-- yeah! I can, but that's not how it's supposed to work.

[THERE ARE RULES HERE]
