WHEN || Any time after June 7th  
HOW || Actionspam

[ 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.]

[Stiles couldn't sleep so he started wandering the castle. And he eventually finds the firing range by accident. He doesn't recognize Vi because it's weird lighting and it's late. Also is that the sound of crying? Stiles edges closer, feeling like he's interrupting.]

Uh- everything alright?

[graveflowers]

Huh? [ startled, vi's looks over, sending her arrow so wide it hits a target literally allllll the way down the range. whoops. ] I... yeah, um. [ she hastily wipes at her eyes. ] I, um, hurt my hand a couple months ago. I'm having some trouble getting back my mojo.

[ it's not a lie... ]

[killingtodeath]

[Oh. Now he sees who it is. Hey goby fish. He's not really sure if a hurt hand is enough to make her cry, but he'll just make idle conversation.]

You know- a friend of mine back home was into the archery thing. I never really got it. Do you take this thing on missions?

[graveflowers]

[ hi shrimp. which is still funny. because he's very tall. ]

Yeah. I'm usually really good at it. You know, what you just saw aside. I'm not really big on guns. Though I did shoot a giant spider in the face, that was kind of awesome.

[killingtodeath]

Not so awesome for the spider. But I'm sure he deserved it. Jaywalking? Indecent spider exposure? Not really sure what decent spider exposure is, though.

[He chuckles at his own jokes, then stops.] Sorry. When things feel tense I just tend to fill the silence.

[graveflowers]

You don't need to apologize for that. I think the spider was trying to eat us actually. Just goes to show, don't walk through creepy underpasses at night.

[killingtodeath]

That's not nightmare fuel or anything. [lol terrible word choice basically] Glad you made it in one piece. Unless... you don't have a robot arm, do you?

[graveflowers]

I wish! [ no really, that would be fun! ] All one peice, no robotics. Archer found a bunicorn somewhere though.

[killingtodeath]

A what, I'm sorry?

[graveflowers]

Bunicorn. Bunny slash unicorn. His name is Merlin. [ yeah, she's very serious. welcome to archer town. ]

[killingtodeath]

...Can I see it?

[graveflowers]

You'd have to ask Archer, I don't know where he is. [ shrug, sorry kiddo, she's not helpful there. ]

[killingtodeath]

Eh, some other time. [Finding that guy involves not being here, so he's not interested.] So do all the awesome people come to shoot arrows at 2am or is this a special occasion?

[graveflowers]

I can't sleep. [ a beat. ] But yeah, just for cool kids. [ actually speaking of. ] What are you doing here? At two in the morning. Are you okay?

[killingtodeath]

Couldn't sleep. [he doesn't have his pillow :( ] Thought I'd just give myself the tour.

[graveflowers]

[ sob his pillow. ] Find anything interesting or just me? [ you know what, she's going to start shooting again so enjoy the show stiles because she shoots two near perfect almost bull's eyes in a row. (atk 26 & 24) ]

[killingtodeath]

I think the only answer to that question is yes. [Dayum girl.]</small. How long have you been practicing with that?

[graveflowers]

Fifteen years. I don't really remember my childhood, so it could be longer. [ fling, there goes another and another. (atk 23 & 23) ] I've always felt more comfortable with a bow than anything else. I like to shoot things.

[killingtodeath]

Fifteen... Wow, so either you're older than I thought or you were a toddler Robin Hood.

[graveflowers]

I turned 27 in May. [ she shrugs helplessly. it's not her fault she looks like a little kid, okay. blame her mother's eternal youth. ] Okay, so I guess I meant fourteen years. I'm a little basic math deficient.

[killingtodeath]

You make up for it by being kind of a bad ass.

[graveflowers]

Why thank you, shrimp. [ that's so sweet. and after.... being useless for a year? she kind of needs to hear it from someone who isn't saying it to just cheer her up. ] Do you... wanna give it a go?

[killingtodeath]

[He laughs] Wait- you're serious? Uh... sure.

[He doesn't move to take the bow right away, though.] Any tips?

[graveflowers]

[ she holds it out. it's only 3000+ years old, gosh, it's not like it's an antique, stiles. ] Uh, don't shoot yourself in the foot, I guess?

[ a+ teacher? look, she can't teach him unless he is holding it. ]

[killingtodeath]

Well... That's a good tip, I guess. [He takes the bow and just... gives it a whirl. And wouldn't you know, he's a natural? (attack 18)]

Okay, that was pretty cool.
