[ 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.]

[Oh thank goodness she didn't just...leave that hanging there because there would have been the longest silence while he figured out wtf to say to that.]

A lot, actually. It's honestly probably the closest thing to normal that I was ever going to get.

[reallywicked]

That's sweet. [She says in a tone that's fairly condescending.] I'm guessing you had a lot of not-normal before this?

[familybusiness]

[He, uh, doesn't even kind of notice (wisdom 2)]

It was a lot of fake credit card scams, motel rooms, diners and fake badges. The job was...similar, though.

[reallywicked]

What was your craziest cover? [This seems possibly entertaining to talk about.] I mean, you must have had some fun ones.

[familybusiness]

[Considering they impersonate the FBI on the daily, practically, coming up with a crazy one is harder than it should be.]

We had to recover the black box from a plane crash once, so we had to impersonate Homeland Security in order to get access. That was a little over-the-top, even for us.

[reallywicked]

What the hell did you need the black box for?

[familybusiness]

Our buddy wanted to look at it, and we needed to inspect the wreckage. Normally, a guy can't open up an airplane door at thirty thousand feet, and when we found sulfur in the plane, we assumed it was...a demonic possession.

[Here we go.]

[reallywicked]

[Her eyebrows lift]

That something you two came across a lot?

[familybusiness]

Not too often. Demons were pretty rare, though they did come up from time to time, and usually they're a little less...obvious.

[reallywicked]

Keep their horns to themselves? [She's just being a smart ass now.]

[familybusiness]

They actually...don't have horns. They look more like black clouds of smoke until they steal a body. Back home, anyway.

[They look different here. :|]

[reallywicked]

Steal a body, huh? So anyone could be a demon?

[familybusiness]

There are ways to tell if someone's possessed, but yeah. I was possessed by one once. My Dad, too.

[reallywicked]

So how would I know you aren't now?

[familybusiness]

Holy water or salt would do the trick. Without those, well, I guess technically you wouldn't. It would have had to cross the Veil, though, so I think you're safe.

[reallywicked]

You think so? Glad to hear that I can relax. [In his bed. Like she already is.]

Is that why you joined the Knights? To fight demons?

[familybusiness]

[His eyebrows raise slightly.]

They say demons aren't real here.

[reallywicked]

Have you seen some of the crazy shit we go up against? Just because they don't call them demons doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

[familybusiness]

[Oh look, a will save. I rolled a 3. Can't keep his mouth shut, yay.]

They think they don't exist because most people can't see them.

[reallywicked]

Most? [Oh, that's interesting. This continues to get better.] So I'm guessing you can see them.

[familybusiness]

I, uh, yeah. It runs in my family.

[He looks mildly uncomfortable. Yay.]

[reallywicked]

You've got a brother here, right? So he can see them too?

[familybusiness]

Yeah. His name's Dean. I wouldn't talk to him about it, though. It's not exactly a very...light topic.

[reallywicked]

Why's that? [Shes just going to keep digging in. Now she's invested in finding out something good.]

[familybusiness]

Because they've basically killed every friend or family member we've ever had.

[Some frustration seeps into his tone at that pretty shitty will save.]
