[ The castle can be a happening place, even on more mundane days. This log is for random interactions over the course of November and December.

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.]

The lack of crying. [just gonna come invade your space, okay? okay.] Cookie?

[undeleted]

Unlike most people here, I'm not looking to let myself go. [ that's a no, by the way ] Not while I'm trapped in this inferior body, at least.

[theshameofcain]

[She pulls her cookies back, defensively. R U D E.] As opposed to what kind of body exactly?

[undeleted]

The robotic one that I was pulled from.

[theshameofcain]

[munch munch cookie.] I can see where that might be a problem for you. [s-so sympathetic.] If you're looking for ways to upload yourself back into the Matrix, I don't think Google can help you there.

[undeleted]

No, your organization's technology files might.

[theshameofcain]

And you haven't just asked Zero, because he's... intimidating? British? Kind of a hobo?

[undeleted]

Because for being the Knights' finest, his grasp on the matter is rudimentary.

[theshameofcain]

[that's way harsh, tai.] Yeah, we don't really get a lot of human-robot problems here. I didn't even know that was a thing.

[undeleted]

Well, you know what they say about ignorance and bliss. You must be bursting with joy.

[theshameofcain]

So when you were a robot, were you programmed purely to insult people or was that just a bonus?

[undeleted]

I was programmed to be able to observe my surroundings analytically. It's not my fault if what I see fails to impress.

[theshameofcain]

I really hope something impresses you some day- not because I wish you all the happiness in the world, but because I want to see you achieve something beyond a deadpan.

[LIFE GOALS. anyway.] ...How does someone upload a program into a person?

[Across the multiverse, Topher Brink laughs.]

[undeleted]

That isn't what happened. It was the result of wild magic.

[theshameofcain]

I'm sorry. Wild magic? [tell her more.]

[undeleted]

A destabilization in the fields that generate magic in the first place.

[theshameofcain]

[and bambi pulls up a chair.] Tell me more.

[undeleted]

Luckman Industries was seeking a way to completely shut down magic, using technology.

[theshameofcain]

[Bambi's eyes go wide.] That is... actually kinda neat. I mean, nothing against magic, but the idea that somebody could actually stop it is scientifically badass. In a... Weird Bond villain way.

[undeleted]

There's nothing inherently villainous in the science of it. Villainy implies motivation, and science exists for its own sake. Imagine if an evil sorcerer threatened a city with his spells. Would the technology seem so villainous if it were used to shut him down?

[theshameofcain]

Well, no, but it's the whole principle of the idea of getting rid of one or the other that's whack. Why not let both co-exist? Zero's managed to make it into an artform.

[undeleted]

Like I said. The science itself isn't to blame. What fools choose to do with it isn't my problem.

[theshameofcain]

True enough. [She pushes her chair back.] I'm gonna let you get back to googling now.

[undeleted]

Mm. [ lmao yeah that's it ]
