[ 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.]

[he swipes JUST PAST HER SO FUCKIN CLOSE (atk 17) and now he is pissed too. so pissed it makes him worse i guess. (13) THEY'RE JUST TOO GOOD. or ... too bad.]

[bittersweeter]

[ with another semi-near miss (atk 13), she takes the chance to switch back to her left hand. ]

[ambitionist]

Quitter. [with a little smirk, he manages to crit on her awwww yeah (atk 21 after penalties) and then ... crits again. which would only be atk 16 after penalities but it's still a crit, so. he is just pwning her ass.]

[bittersweeter]

[ she grits her teeth and cheats, quite frankly, forgoing the sword to kick him in the shins.

with a nat 20. GO FIGURE.

while she is a graceless winner, she's really bad at losing too. ]

[ambitionist]

[and he ... hops around like that will make him feel better. jk it only makes him look stupid.] Ow! Hey!

[bittersweeter]

[ epitome of the kanyeshrug, she strikes while he's hopping around, but he's wiggling to much so she misses again. (atk 16) ]

I'm sorry, I didn't know I was supposed to be taking it easy on you.

[ such a brat. ]

[ambitionist]

[and then he makes an attempt to disarm her, dodging the weird flailing attempt she makes at him and successfully sending her rapier flying onto the ground. (23 vs 18)] Whatever.

[bittersweeter]

[ her first instinct is to knock him out, but it's alex and she won't do that. she can't trip him again because he's holding the weapon. so she leaps back with her hella cat grace and uses mage hand to zoom the rapier back into her grip. ]

Okay, that was smart.

[ambitionist]

I have my moments. [his moments are not rn, however, as he tries to get back into the swing of striking at her and his attack rolls are like wtf. (6 and 4 lmfao...)]

[bittersweeter]

I believe in you. [ poke! she misses, ofc. (atk 10) ] You said you impressed the knights and they brought you in. That's way more impressive knowing it was Eric and he's nearly impossible to amaze.

[ambitionist]

Yeah? Maybe he had a crush on me. [he grins and waggles his eyebrows before making some more wide, lazy strikes at her (11 and 5)]

[bittersweeter]

[ her grip on the sword slackens and she doesn't even bat at alex with it, just lifts it before she lets it drop. (atk 2) ]

Oh my god. What if he did? I wonder if he's gay. One in ten, you can't be the only one here. And you're only sometimes gay.

[ambitionist]

[it's pretty clear that he's just waving his sword around while talking at this point (11 and 13)] He seems repressed, right? There's this whole repression vibe around him. Those are the ones that end up turning into slutty little butterflies.

[bittersweeter]

[ lila rn. ]

I have to know. [ she drops the rapier because fuck this and dart over to the bench to grab her phone and AGGRESSIVELY TEXTS ERIC.

but then doesn't press send, erasing it quickly and rewording it and then erasing it again. ]

He wouldn't tell me, he never tells me anything. [ hmm. ] You! Ask him out!

[ambitionist]

[he has to repeat this to ... make sure his ears are working. while he re-sheaths his katana (he's calling this his victory btw.)] You want me to ask him out? That's gonna be awkward when he falls in love with me and finds out it was all a lie. I've seen She's All That.

[bittersweeter]

Please, he's not going to fall in love with you. You're the guy version of me. I just want to see if he says yes.

[ambitionist]

Yeah, and then if he says yes I'm gonna have to go on a date. [he is acting like this is on par with being selected for the hunger games.]

[bittersweeter]

I'm not seeing how that is a bad thing for you?

[ambitionist]

I don't date, Liliya.

[bittersweeter]

A date. A date. One single date. And you might not even have to go, he could turn you down. [ quelle horreur. that's right, she questioned alex's skills.

and she's going to laugh about nando's later. ]

Come on, Alex, please? [ please, please, please, look at this face. ]

[ambitionist]

Eh, I'll think about it.

[bittersweeter]

[ setting her phone down, she goes to pick up her sword again. the wheedling drifts out of her tone slowly, turning careful because she adores eric and this is his business she's spilling. and for reasons. ] You may be right about his repressed stuff. He's a soldier, wanted to take after his dad, who was in the military. Died, I assume, since he said someone needed to pick up where he left off. I never wanted to ask because for like six months I basically though he hated me. [ now she knows he cares about her, but she's still not sure he likes her because lila has no self-worth. ] Anyway, military plus gay isn't always very compatible.

[ambitionist]

Uh-huh. Are you trying to brief me or trying to tell me to be gentle with him?

[bittersweeter]

Both. Now come at me so I can kick your ass.

[ambitionist]

You mean you haven't had enough yet?
