[ 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.]

Capicola?

[At least she thinks that's what it's called.]

It's got a bit of a kick to it.

[icouldbe_bess]

[ she thinks about it for all of no seconds and shakes her head. ] Nah, I'll stick with regular ol' domestic ham in the friendly, familiar rectangle shape.

[bredinthebone]

[She nods once in acknowledgement, before grabbing the regular ham and starting to put a sandwich together, one piece at a time.]

Lettuce, tomato, oil, vinegar ... ?

[icouldbe_bess]

Um... cheese, tomato, and pickle. Salt, pepper, and oil. [ YOU KNOW WHAT SHE WANTS. meanwhile she scrapes her soup into the trash. ]

[bredinthebone]

[And she will go to work fixing her just that, and not long there's a nice long sandwich sitting on the counter for her.]

I'm Malina.

[icouldbe_bess]

Alice. [ with glee, she bounces over to the counter and happily scoops up half the sandwich, shoving it in her mouth and taking an enormous bite that she mumbles around after a happy groan. ] Oh my god, so good.

[ which actually sounds like "Mmr mmm merr, mrrrh mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmrrh. ]

[bredinthebone]

[She smirks a bit at that as she goes to dig into her own sandwich.]

You're telling me.

[icouldbe_bess]

Sometimes you just really... need a fucking sandwich.

[bredinthebone]

I couldn't agree more. And London, apparently, does not believe in New York style Delis.

[a beat.]

Not that they should try. At all.

[icouldbe_bess]

[ she makes such a face. ]

New Yorker?

[ she doesn't even care, it's just so deeply ingrained in her from 23 years of bitter boston/new york rivalry. she's still made at donnie walhberg for selling out and going to blue bloods when he could have stayed on rizzoli & isles like a good boston boy. ]

[bredinthebone]

Born and raised.

[It's Tom Selleck, Alice. Would you say no to Tom Selleck and his fabulous mustache? But she catches a look at that face and can't help but smirk (wisdom 15).]

Lemme guess - Boston?

[icouldbe_bess]

[ she would 100% ...not say no to magnum p.i. at all ever. ]

Yup. [ go figure. it comes with a smile though so it seems like she accepts the rivalry is insane.

larry bird is still the best, don't front. ] Also born and raised.

[bredinthebone]

Well, to put you mind at ease, I support the Mets, not the Yankees, so as long as we just don't talk during football season, I think we'll be fine.

[icouldbe_bess]

Eh, I don't even like football. I mean, I don't really like baseball either. Or basketball... I'm not really big into sports. We were hockey fans, but my dad grew up a Maple Leafs fan, so -- [ she shrugs, now taking human sized bites of the sandwich. ] -- we hate our team as much as everyone else.

[bredinthebone]

[She laughs.]

So you just hate New York on the principle of existing, basically.

[icouldbe_bess]

Basically. [ #JUSTBOSTONTHINGS. ]

[bredinthebone]

[She laughs.]

Alright, I can accept that. I think.

[icouldbe_bess]

You're more than welcome to hate Boston, too. I'm willing to be fair.

[bredinthebone]

[She considers for a moment, before shrugging.]

I'll get back to you on that.

[Because she doesn't really hate Boston. She's been there a few times and it's a great city. She just hates the Patriots.]

[icouldbe_bess]

[ belichick is hateable. it is known. alice nods, continuing to nom on her delicious sandwich. ]

So did you like apprentice at a Jewish deli or are you just naturally gifted at the art of sandwich making?

[bredinthebone]

It took many years of practice and trial and error.

[She makes a face.]

You would have not liked my early attempts. Not pretty.

[icouldbe_bess]

I'm glad to have been at the tail end of it then.

[bredinthebone]

I am in turn happy for you.

[She sighs as she finishes her own before taking a bite.]

Mmmm. Just like home.

[icouldbe_bess]

Do you miss it? [ 'cause this sure as shit ain't the city. ]

[bredinthebone]

[She exhales slowly and nods.]

All the time. But my family is usually here, so it's not that bad. Plus with missions to keep me busy, you don't get a lot of time to think about it.
