[ 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.]

They feel sharp. So watch it. [ i guess that's not a no??? ]

[msattentionspan]

I'd be kinda disappointed if they weren't. [One hand moves to support his hand, it's a gentle hold, though. No mandhandling here, she just doesn't want to press and have unsteady movement. They are sharp, after all.

She's careful, though and she feels the thinness of the metal then slides her touch along the top of the blade to the tip. Canting her head as she lets her fingertip push against the tip. It's the most sexual description of touching a blade I've ever written...

She does let it break the skin at the tip of her finger, but she'll heal. Smirking, she lets go of his hand and puts the bleeding fingertip pressed against her thumb.]

It'll heal and those are amazing.

[adamantiumed]

[ well, he's hyperaware of the way she's taking her time with them, watching her with a difficult to read expression on his face. ] ... They get the job done.

[msattentionspan]

[It's not like she was looking at his face anyway... but now that she's done examining his blades, she smirks and sucks the tip of her finger, making sure that it's done bleeding - which naturally it is.]

I bet they do.

[adamantiumed]

[ he stares at her for a second, before there's a sudden snikt sound, and he retracts the claws back into his hand, the skin healing over instantly. ] I can tell you wanna ask, so get it over with.

[msattentionspan]

If you already know what I'm gonna ask why didn't you just answer? Save me all the trouble.

[She grins.]

C'mon, neither of us are gonna get anywhere near drunk enough for this to fall into that stage where I giggle too much and keep touching you. Plus, I've never been that girl. Pretty sure I never want to be that girl, either.

Right now I just wanna see how long it'd take to tire one of us out. If you're up for that. Otherwise, I'll just get another drink.

[adamantiumed]

[ he raises an eyebrow at her, something close to a smile creeping up his cheek as he lets that hang there a moment before he says -- ] ... I thought you were gonna ask where they came from. [ ahem ]

[msattentionspan]

[She shrugs.]

They're there now. I don't need to know where they came from. I've never really been into history.

[He didn't say no - which is something. She'll finish up her drink and gesture to the bartender to bring her another.]

[adamantiumed]

[ her answer actually makes him chuckle, and he reaches for his beer again to take a swig ] You strike me as more of an 'in the moment' kinda girl.

[msattentionspan]

You would be correctly struck. [She makes a face... is that even right? Eh, who cares. The bartender brings her another and she starts to drink that one.]

[adamantiumed]

[ while she takes that drink, his eyes trace down over her briefly, appreciatively. ] Can't say I mind.

[msattentionspan]

[Insert Faith Lehane Knowing Smirk™]

[adamantiumed]

You want some real action, we could always see if you could keep up in the training room.

[msattentionspan]

[She takes another drink, thinking about it. It's not what she wanted, but she does want to do something. Setting the drink down, she turns toward him and shrugs.]

Alright.

[adamantiumed]

Maybe I want to make sure you can keep up. [ he finishes his as well, and then gets up ]

[msattentionspan]

[She slides off the barstool and gets right into his personal space, looking up at him.]

Oh, don't worry about little ol' me.

[adamantiumed]

Something tells me you're exactly the kind of woman a guy should worry about. [ not that he sounds put off by the fact, tbh. he doesn't shy away, smirking down at her for a second, before nodding to the door with his head ]

[msattentionspan]

Probably. [She smirks and then turns out of his personal space and heads toward the door. Faith isn't the type to do that whole sway when she walks type (the lack of pronounced hips probably doesn't help) - so the view is just the usual view of her walking as she heads toward the training room... or the gym... or whatever is closer.]

[adamantiumed]

[ well the gym is part of the training room so that's the one! and it is, by some miracle, basically empty. logan follows behind her, looking around as they enter. ] Awful quiet.

[msattentionspan]

We can change that.

[She'll turn quickly, reaching for his arm in an attempt to throw him to the ground. (grapple 30) adding that +5 to her base attack bonus that I just finally did with her leveling up...]

[adamantiumed]

[ he attempts to counter and knock her arm away first (atk 19) but I don't think that beats her AC??? if not, his grapple check is exactly a 30, meaning he grips both her forearms, and meets her with equal strength, causing them both to spin and switch places, in a deadlock. he switches tactics, releasing suddenly to try and take her off balance, swinging again (atk 29; 19 | dmg 9 from the first punch which i think is the only one that lands) ]

[msattentionspan]

[At the deadlock, she lets out an amused sound. It's not quite a laugh, but it's pretty damn close. When he lets go, she watches him, but that first strike lands and she rubs at her jaw, tilting her head to stretch her neck a bit before she moves for him opting to return his attempt with an uppercut of her own (atk 40 (non-lethal), dmg 19) and then follows it up with another throw to his side (atk 29 (non-lethal), dmg 16).]

[adamantiumed]

[ both of them land, managing to do more than just glance off his metallic skeleton, and his head jerks aside at the first hit. he cracks his jaw, looking vaguely impressed, before moving to punch at her twice more (atk 27; atk 15, dmg 11 from the first one if it hits) ]

[msattentionspan]

[The first one hits again, pushing her back a step and a half, smirking as she dodges that second hit.]

Maybe you wanna only throw one -- might up your success rate. [HA HA. Do not anger the attractive man with the metal skeleton and CLAWS, Faith.

Whatever, she still smirks and then resumes her stance, going with a right hook and then opts for a second right hook. (atk 38, dmg 12 | atk nat 20 (41), dmg 13)]

[adamantiumed]

[ again, she hits him twice, each one emitting a clang with the impact. when he looks back this time, his teeth are bared, as he goes into a rage, punches flying a little faster now ... too fast, apparently, because his first attack is a crit fail, and he goes staggering past her as she dodges it, losing his other attack. ]
