[ 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.]

[ Thank vampire hearing for how hard it is to ignore that steady, repetitive noise of Desmond's channeling Katniss Everdeen.

Being the nosy bastard he is, Damon moves silently (24) to get a closer looks and (spot 24) sees Desmond's faux pas. To which... he claps.

GJ, Desmond. ] Put all your weight behind it.

[nothingsodivine]

[HE IS, OKAY. And to prove it, he gives another manly tug... (strength... 8). NO ONE ASKED YOU, DAMON.] Funny how I don't remember using my Phone a Friend on this.

[unforgivably]

Personally, I'd go for 50/50 over phone a friend. [ A shrug. ] Need help there?

[nothingsodivine]

[The horror of having to be assisted in such a simple task grants Des the strength he needs, because he gives one more tug and it comes free (str 18)]

Got it. [He eyes him.] D'you just wander around the woods looking for degrading situations to observe or were you just passing by?

[unforgivably]

Yep. Wandering judge. I never learned to play the lute. [ He shrugs. ] Damon Salvatore. [ As he's coming forward. Kate's words are ringing in his ears, it's who you know, so, even if he's not the friends type, he'll play the game (charisma 20, of the non nat variety) ]

[nothingsodivine]

[Yeah, sorry, Damon. Not impressed.(will save 20 total)] Desmond Descant. You should consider picking it up. I bet Wynn's in the market for more bards.

[unforgivably]

[ Well, ain't that his luck. Whatever, this is a guy, he can't charm em all. ] I haven't asked. [ And does he look like the lute type? ] But, maybe I will. I need a few new hobbies what with leaving behind an entire life I can hardly remember.

[nothingsodivine]

[you should see his boyfriend's cha checks, damon. YOU WOULD UNDERSTAND WHY.

He chuckles, understanding.] Oh, you're from the other side of the Veil? My condolences. The amnesia's a real bitch.

[unforgivably]

[ He doesn't want to be your boyfriend, anyway. (But everyone should want to be his boyfriend. Or, they should want to slap him.) ]

And then some. You're indigenous. [ That says enough of that. ] And apparently ready to volunteer as tribute.

[nothingsodivine]

And then some. [mockingly. he stares at the crossbow.] Buffy thinks I only use guns. I'm out to prove I'm equal opportunity with my projectile weapons.

[unforgivably]

Just not with removing your projectile weapons. [ He jests. And really, he mocks with - well, not with love but this is guy bonding. Right? ]

[nothingsodivine]

Generally speaking, I think they came out of people a lot easier than trees. [Deadpan. :| GUY BONDING!!!]

[unforgivably]

That they do. [ What. NOT A FLINCH. VAMPIRE HERE. ] Who's Buffy? Another knight?

[nothingsodivine]

A knight. [Because he is not one. He wants to make that perfectly clear.] A thing that I am definitely not. Blonde, tiny. Punches like a freight train. Can't miss her. We've been working together for the last few years.

[unforgivably]

Then what are you, this world's gift to Robin Hood? But with guns? [ And occasionally arrows. ] Hired muscle?

[nothingsodivine]

I'm a private investigator with an emphasis on the paranormal. [He shoves the bolt back in its quiver.] I solve Shadowkind problems.

[unforgivably]

What brought you into the knight's fold?

[nothingsodivine]

Shadowkind problems. [Yes, thank you, Des.] They're working on a case similar to one I worked a few years back. [like twenty years back, but who's counting] 'Course it was less of a shitshow when I worked it.

[unforgivably]

Think they're mishandling? [ You can bet he's going to get all the information he can (diplomacy 20) ]

[nothingsodivine]

They're idiots, but they're my idiots. And most of it's not their fault. [Hello failboat's righteous indignation and protectiveness of one another.] We've got cults and drow gods and God only knows what else all over this case.

[unforgivably]

Clowns? [ He's taking a stab. ] Your idiots. Not a knight, but you fight beside em. This isn't the case of the knight wannabe, is it? Are knight groupies a thing?

[nothingsodivine]

The last thing I wanna be is one of Wynn's hounds. [Very, very adamant about that.] Like I said, I've worked with 'em for three years. That don't make me one of 'em, but it makes me appreciate 'em.

[unforgivably]

[ Appreciate how useful they are. ] How long ago did Shadowkind become a thing?

[nothingsodivine]

[Des chuckles darkly.] Existed or became public knowledge?

[unforgivably]

Both. Dumage made it sound like people falling through the veil is a new development.
