[ 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.]

What in the name of Atari's ghost do you think you're doin'? [ zero is standing in the doorway, frozen, looking ready to murder something too. spoiler: It's not the laptop. ]

[unhand]

[...oh, perhaps he shouldn't have let his temper get the better of him there.]

...trying to turn it on.

[spellfile]

[ ... ] I'd hate t'see how you go about doing the same with a woman. [ he is just gonna press forward and snatch the pieces of that thing up and away from your pointy appendage. ]

[unhand]

A woman's not a machine.

[A beat.]

And I doubt you'd very much like to see me use those methods on this contraption either.

[spellfile]

I'd prefer not to see any of your methods, and yet here we are.

What the hell do you need, before you break anything else trying to get it?

[unhand]

...I'm trying to learn how to use it.

[spellfile]

... Think you might do well investing in a tutor, boy.

[unhand]

I hope you're not volunteering. [Cause he already doesn't like you.]

[spellfile]

You kidding? I've got my work cut out for me already, just fixing everything you idiots break.

[unhand]

Good, cause you're not very patient, are you?

[bittersweeter]

You'd be surprised. Zero's the last bastion of patience. [ hey ho, jacking your thread as lila slides into the room because she needs to print shit out and finds her boys being bitches. ] Howdy boys.

[spellfile]

Exactly. Ask that one. I put up with her, after all. [ zero is that what you call putting up with people ]

[unhand]

She's hardly bad. [Hook flashes Lila a grin.] Working with her's a dream.

[bittersweeter]

Yes, I know, I know, you both love me.

[spellfile]

Oh, har, har, har. I assume bad puns come with the dramatic flair. [ he snorts ] A hook hand. Chrissake.

[unhand]

It's a hell of a lot more useful than a prosthetic. [At least... the prosthetics that were available in the Enchanted Forest.]

[bittersweeter]

He does get stabby with it... [ her eyes light on the laptop, or what remains of it, and it all clicks into place. (wis 17) ] Oh my god, did you..? [ you know what, lila reaches out and punches hook in the shoulder. ] You're like a toddler. You don't stab inanimate objects!

[spellfile]

You can get prosthetics that work just like real hands, Captain Kangaroo. Robotics. Google it. [ he looks at the damaged laptop and grimaces ] On second thought, go ask Belle for an Encyclopedia Britannica.

[unhand]

Why would I want a kangaroo hand?

[bittersweeter]

[ hands in the air, she just wanted to print something so she's going to go do that now. ]

[spellfile]

[ zero waves a hand in lila's direction ] I give up on him. You take this one.

[bittersweeter]

[ snort. ] Oh no, no no. You're the knight here, this is your job. You're not passing this off on to me. You owe me. [ forever. you owe her forever, zero. ]

[unhand]

Who says I want either of your help? [He's just being stubborn now.]
