[ 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.]

She's dead.

[It's stated bluntly and too the point, because he doesn't like lingering on memories of her any longer than he has to.]

She was just as much of a threat and a megalomaniac as they are. In the Old World, where there's no magic, she barely had any power or influence. Once she got to Everworld again, she was nearly a god in her own right and she thought that she had what it took to challenge them. She used her abilities to bring in people with machine guns and just ... mowed through peaceful settlements of people without a second thought.

[She manipulated their minds, their hearts - he remembers those parts of Senna clearly, even if he doesn't remember her name.]

One of us couldn't stand by and let her hurt innocent people, whether it was our world or not. So she killed her.

[immuno]

[ If she were feeling more empathic, Lydia might take that as a hint to back down. But she's too logically-minded for that, so instead of picking up on a thread that should be left alone before it unravels, she sets on it like a dog with a bone. ]

But you said "a gateway witch." Not "the." Are there others like her? David, if there are people who could move between planes, they might have a way to get us back to our own worlds. Back through the Veil. If you know something about how she did it—

[generaldavideus]

The only other one I know of is her mother and she's just as bad if not worse.

[After all, she sold out her own child to keep herself safe.]

And I'm pretty sure their magic only works between Everworld and the Old World - they're part of the magic that created it.

[It's not entirely a lie, because it's a reasonable guess - if their magic only really worked super effectively in Everworld, it means it's tied to that realm more than anything else.]

Add to the fact they wouldn't do it out of the goodness of their hearts. You'd have to pay a pretty hefty price.

[David's price was his agency and he didn't even really ask for that particular adventure.]

[immuno]

Unless you could find a way to do it yourself.

[ Which isn't to say Lydia is joining Stiles' "we can learn magic!!!" train but. It would be worth studying. ]

Is there anything written here on Everworld, or are you the only one from there that you know of?

[generaldavideus]

I'm the only one that I know of.

[Not that he would know the people important to him - or actually be able to identify Senna. He remembers the witch and everything that she did, but any actual identifying information has been scrubbed away.

Thanks a lot, Veil.]

[immuno]

Damn.

[ She seems genuinely discouraged, and she takes it out with a punch at the bag (atk 20 total, dmg 3). ]

[generaldavideus]

[His eyebrows go up a bit at the hit and he smirks.]

Not bad.

[immuno]

[ The praise lights her up and her eyes flicker back over to him. She takes a moment to bask in it, then acknowledges, ] Thanks.

[generaldavideus]

[He nods for a moment, and is going to take that opportunity to steer things FAR FAR AWAY from Everworld and things he really doesn't want to talk about.]

How about we do one more set and break for the day?

[immuno]

This is your training program.

[ Which is the sassy agreement he gets as she starts going at it again. ]
