[ 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.]

Used to know more, but I had to burn all my bridges last year. Not quite all of them, however. I'm owed a few favors.

[bittersweeter]

I don't doubt it. So am I. [ just from people in the castle alone. she hasn't figure out how she wants them to be used though. ] If you ever have need of a pirate, one owes me twice.

[ambitionist]

Ugh, fuck that. I saw those Johnny Depp movies.

[bittersweeter]

Ahh, you see why I haven't called them in.

[ another swing and a thud as the hammer hits the dummy

in the nuts.

which is what she was aiming for this time! SUCCESS! ]

This is the best.

[ambitionist]

[half a second to sympathy wince for mr dummy before:] Are you even capable of hitting anywhere else?

[bittersweeter]

Presumably, yes. [ but why would she seems to be the unspoken qualifier. still, she swings again and catches the shoulder, so IT CAN BE DONE. ]

Satisfied?

[ambitionist]

[SHRUG.] Eh.

[bittersweeter]

That's a real vote of confidence there, jerk. [ she doesn't actually care. ] Wanna... spar or whatever it's fucking called? With that. And not with this. [ she'll find a sword thingy. ]

[ambitionist]

What, you mean you don't wanna go all Kill Bill in here?

[bittersweeter]

Your face is far too pretty to damage and I know how attached you are to your dick, do you really want me to?

[ambitionist]

Yeah, I guess that would suck. Find a sword.

[bittersweeter]

[ she turns, putting the meteor hammer on the bench with her stuff and coiling the chain around it delicately -- it's her baby -- before selecting a rapier from the collection of swords because she knows she is weak. ]

'kay.

[ambitionist]

Nice. [he makes a few practice swipes at the air with the katana.] You ever used one of those before?

[bittersweeter]

Eric made me practice with everything at least once. [ and now she knows hundreds of ways to murder people. it doesn't mean that she actually looks comfortable with the sword, but she knows what to do with it, dancing out of alex's reach. ]

[ambitionist]

That's smart of him. [he comes at her with the katana, subdual dmg bringing his rolls down even further to a whole atk 11. and now he gets 2 attacks!!! so he takes a second for a whole atk 7. going easy on her tbh.]

[bittersweeter]

[ lila makes a face like are you even trying and darts forward to jab at him, missing JUST BARELY OKAY, IT WAS CLOSE. (atk 16) which prompts her to make another face. dayum why they gotta be so gr8. ]

He's a smart guy. You can't tell because its hard to hear the intelligence over how much of a dick he is.

[ambitionist]

He was the one who recruited me, you know. [he comes at her again, this time trying a little harder but still not really lol. (Atk 12 and 13)]

[bittersweeter]

[ this catches her off guard enough that she jabs a little wider (atk 14), looking very surprised. ]

Seriously?

[ this is basically like learning her dad recruited her brother, okay, and neither of them told her. ]

[ambitionist]

[bc he is 1) a boy and 2) not very smart, this just seemed like some random happenstance to him. also he thought eric might have told her i guess. basically Alex is dumb.] Huh, yeah. [he nat 20s his next blow (24 total) letting the dull side of the sword rest against her neck so that she may take a moment to realize how badass he is. :) ]

[bittersweeter]

[ she gasps a little because he'd been sucking up until then, but recovers quickly enough to step back a step and jab the rapier

at his junk. (atk 19, finally.) ]

Rude.

[ambitionist]

You're the rude one. [he takes a step back, then strikes at her again, letting the first slash go wide (15) but nat 20ing again on the second one (19 total after subdual/nonproficient penalties.) he presses the dull side against her waist. hooker.]

[bittersweeter]

[ she laughs, shrugging as she twirls out of reach again, slapping the katana away with a ping of metal on metal, making alex come to her. ]

I really am.

[ambitionist]

[he goes after her ... and swipes so hard his sword flies out of his hands and sails across the room lmfao wtf (crit fail)] Shit!

[bittersweeter]

[ lila takes the opportunity to squeal in delight like she's won, switching the rapier to her off hand and letting it fall as she leaps forward like she's going to hug him. but jk she's going to try to trip him, even if she has to go down with him like some adorable and violent recreation of the lion king. (atk 19) ]

[ambitionist]

[he knows what's going down but is too slow to stop the force of her fury aka his opposed roll was lower than hers, so down he goes.]
