[ 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.]

[She gives her a look like whaaat. But that's about it. There's no real comment you can make about being called a beautiful, rule-breaking moth.] Nah. I think I'll go for something with more sharp edges. I'm starting to get used to the sight of blood, but I'm coming to terms with the fact that guns are just... not me.

[icouldbe_bess]

What about a stun gun? Less bang bang bullets, more does anyone smell lighting. Also super effective against monkeys.

[theshameofcain]

That was pretty boss... [ah, remembering the horror fondly. that's what war is all about, i guess....]

[icouldbe_bess]

Right? Like my shining moment. I'm gonna scrapbook it, but I don't have any pictures of my near death experience. [ her nose wrinkles. ]

[theshameofcain]

We should talk Zero into little hats or necklaces or something with cameras in them so we can film our missions for posterity. Like real spies.

[icouldbe_bess]

My dad has a flag pin with a camera, like the Italian Job. He doesn't ever actually use it, but it sits on his desk to remind people that he has it. [ she rolls her eyes with good natured humor. dads, tbh. ]

[theshameofcain]

Wow. My dad just collects action figures.

[icouldbe_bess]

Well, my dad is a cop in Ipswich. [ her dad is chief brody. ] It isn't a hotbed of moral turpitude, but they did have a shark attack on Plum Island once.

[ in like 1918. ]

[theshameofcain]

Massachusetts, huh? I'm from Philly- so here's to England, I guess.

[icouldbe_bess]

[ ah pennsylvania. what the north sees as the last stretch before the dreaded south. ]

Oh hey, Amish people! We took a vacation there once. It turned out to be exactly like Plimouth Plantation so Dad cheaped out and just kept taking us to the rock. Like ooh, look at the rock Alice Cooper, it's so exciting and neat, just like the first twelve times you saw it.

[theshameofcain]

Amish people and people who get really, really intense about history. I never want to hear another word about Ben Franklin ever again. [she makes a face.] I always wanted to go to Boston.

[icouldbe_bess]

We really love Ben Franklin in Boston, too. But that love is usually trumped by the Adamses. [ 'cause beer tbh. ] The city is awesome though. And there's nowhere else you can use "walked the freedom trail" as a euphemism.

[theshameofcain]

Also St. Patrick's Day. I'm not even Irish. I just want to live in Boondock Saints for one hot minute. Doesn't everyone?

[only criminals and extreme irish catholics, bambi.]

[icouldbe_bess]

[ look at her hair. look at it. guess who is at least partially irish and catholic? ]

Willem Defoe basically ruined me in the best way for opera, but yeah, that's pretty spot on for the neighborhood I grew up in. Southie is wicked stereotypically Boston, we just grew up on the nice side. Near a Dunkin.

[ alice doesn't sound like good will hunting because only people from dorchester talk like they're in the departed and no one sounds like the gd kennedys. ]

[theshameofcain]

God, I wish I didn't have to drive an hour for a Dunkin.

[They're all the over the place with this conversation.]

[icouldbe_bess]

At least there is one only an hour away. Imagine if it was just Starbucks. Only Starbucks. It would be hell. No wonder Russia is so tetchy -- no Dunkin.

[ legit summation of world events. someone should have gotten loki an iced coffee and a blueberry donut. or maybe he favors strawberry frosted. we just don't know. ]

[theshameofcain]

See what we need is a Dunkin installed in the castle, like on college campuses. Wynn is obviously missing out on a very important source of extra income. And also less mileage.

[icouldbe_bess]

It would just be his money going into his business though... [ does that mean he still makes money? economics? what? huh? ]

[theshameofcain]

It basically means he pays us less in the long run because we're putting our cash back into his pocket, and the business essentially pays for itself, because of that. Closed circuit. [knowledge: economics 19??? DID THAT EVEN MAKE SENSE. it does to Bambi.]

[icouldbe_bess]

...okay, I didn't bother taking economics in school, so I'm going to take your word for it. And maybe have you do my taxes.

[theshameofcain]

Hey, I worked the books for a criminal for a long time. I can totally do taxes.

[icouldbe_bess]

Legal taxes? I'm already the family disappointment with my unmarried, pathetic singleness, if Im arrested for tax evasion my mom may literally die.

[theshameofcain]

Definitely legal taxes. Promise. I strongly advised my old boss that he was not looking to become the next Capone. In the tax sense. Pretty sure there was no helping the inevitable syphilis, but that's not my division.

[icouldbe_bess]

'kay, you're hired. Luckily I worked under the table before I got here so I... oh no, I do still need to do my taxes for Massachusetts since I had insurance until August.

[ HAVE FUN WITH MASS TAXES, BAMBI. ]

[theshameofcain]

Fantastic. [wince] I expect to be paid in Dunkin gift cards, because now you made me hungry for it.
