[ 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.]

[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?

[bittersweeter]

I think better when I'm working. [ which she proves by lunging forward with an 18 atk, which misses again, but barely. ] It's the only reason Eric got me to do anything.

[ if she can't actually work, her focus needs to be on more than one thing in order for her to think. see: smoking. ]

[ambitionist]

You mean he didn't bribe you with food? [he makes a mediocre strike and then fumbles. (atk 11 and 2 lol)]

[bittersweeter]

Nyet. He made a face when I brought a drink to the first briefing. [ she rolls her eyes and jabs again. it's like she's not even trying. (atk 7) ]

[ambitionist]

Ugh, is he one of those people who doesn't like food? I thought those were just myths. [he JUST MISSES HER GOD DAMN IT (atk 17) and then goes too wide from excitement i guess (12)]

[bittersweeter]

No, he just didn't like me. [ another gross miss (atk 2), the momentum makes her veer off to the side and impale a dummy instead. ]

[ambitionist]

Please, what's not to like? [he says bcuz they are the same person???? and then he finally hits!! (atk 19) and tries to get another one in, only to miss. (14)]

[bittersweeter]

[ wrenching the rapier free, she tries to catch him on his miss, but also misses. (atk 13) ]

Oh, lots of things probably.

[ambitionist]

You need to work on your self-esteem. [his attacks were shit tbh (13 and 2) going nowhere fast.]

[bittersweeter]

I have plenty of self-esteem. [ no she doesn't. ] I just happen to be self-aware enough know my finer qualities aren't always appreciated. [ such a whiff. (atk 6) ]

[ambitionist]

List ten things you like about yourself. [surprise therapy session while he fuckin crits!]

[bittersweeter]

I'm gorgeous, I'm loyal, I'm very smart -- even considering I missed three years of high school education and then dropped out, I'm friendly to animals, I'm a perfect shot, I have a great memory. [ shit. she's run out already and she knows the perfect shot one is cheating. she gives herself a little time by jabbing again (atk 9). ] I'm a good friend, I was a great daughter. I would have been an amazing leader. I lost count.

[ambitionist]

Nine. [annnd he crits again while she's so busy thinking. hollaaaaaa]

[bittersweeter]

[ she winces, but doesn't back down, thrusting toward his torso. (atk 15) ]

I'm persistent. That enough for you?

[ambitionist]

Eh. [he strikes ... horribly (atk 4) and then says fuck it and just lets his sword fly across the room again (atk -1 WITHOUT CRIT FAILING YES THAT HAPPENED.)] Man, fuck this, wanna get pizza?

[bittersweeter]

Sure. [ but first she hits him. (atk 19) because SHE'S PERSISTENT. look, when she was a kid no one told her that you didn't strike an unarmed combatant.

they just told her it was rude. ]

[ambitionist]

Game's over, Lila, cut it out. [he rolls his eyes as he grabs his sword off the floor and sticks it back in the sheath.]

[bittersweeter]

[ game's not over 'til she wins, tbh. she just chucks the rapier with the rest of them like as asshole. she has no attachment to it. ]

Yup, and we're both dead.
