open ♔ socialization log (april through july)

[wynn]

WHO || Everyone! [ota]
WHAT || Shenanigans.
WHERE || Anywhere in the castle, surrounding environs, London, Andres, etc!
WHEN || Any time in April/May/June/July
HOW || Actionspam

[ The castle can be a happening place, even on more mundane days. This log is for random interactions over the course of these few months. Because not everyone is into parties, ok.   Characters participating in the following missions are asked to wait until their missions have concluded before tagging into things that take place chronologically after said missions:  Dead of Winter, Curse of the Homo Magi, Ravenloft, Shadow Bermuda, and City of Blood  If you aren't certain if that applies to you, please ask!  Characters who are not currently squired in may also post, as their characters are living in the castle awaiting their ceremonies.

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.]

[felidity]

I don't think I have an approach.

[hacker]

You say that like you've never done this before.

[felidity]

Well, I don't want to have sex with him. I just want to feel him.

[hacker]

You're the one who wasn't kidding about a threesome, okay?

[felidity]

I wouldn't say no. [ but she hurries her step like she's growing uncomfortable with the topic. ]

[hacker]

I'm just messing around.

[ She tries to reassure Kali cheerfully, catching up with her. ]

Sorry. I'll leave it alone.

[felidity]

It's okay. [ she shoves open the door to the training room and holds it open for skye. ]

[hacker]

[ She hesitates, glancing at Kali, then heads inside a beat later. ]

How do you usually do this?

[felidity]

There're punching bags. I punch them. [ she shrugs. ] You're not strong enough to fight me, I would hurt you, so we can't spar, but punching bags are a decent compromise.

[hacker]

Yeah, don't worry, my ego will find a way to recover.

[ Ouch. ]

All right, all you. I'll hang out.

[ She waved Kali over to the punching bag and moved over to the side of the room, pulling her phone out of her sweatpants pocket. ]

[felidity]

[ her head tips as she looks at her new friend. ] I was made in a lab. I break punching bags, I don't want to break you.

[hacker]

I don't think you would.

[ Said softly but emphatically, eyes locked on Kali. There's faith there, and trust. But she lets it drop, looking back down at her phone screen as she settles down to sit on the corner of the mat. ]

That's not you.

[felidity]

[ it's good that skye has that faith in kali because she settles in front of the punching bag, sweeping her hair up into a ponytail because throwing two sharp jabs at the bag. (atk 30, 30 weird) girl scary. ]

Are you twittering?

[hacker]

Tweeting.

[ The correction comes automatically. ]

And no. Research, mostly. Alex told me it was the Knighthood in Russia. I'm trying to find traces of you guys in the news outside of that. You should really get somebody on wiping it, doing a better job of cleaning up your identities. The Hoard should be able to spitshine any pictures of you guys right off the net. [ She canted her head and admitted, ] I mean, not Marcus.

[felidity]

Well, people that come through the veil don't generally have identities do they? [ punch punch. (atk 29, 26) ] Nothing to trace. There's a lot of stuff that happens publicly but is untraceable to the Knighthood.

[hacker]

But not everybody here came through the Veil. [ Beat. ] Did you?

[felidity]

No, I was made here. In America. I really am from Wyoming. My DNA could be multinational though, I've never had my genome run. [ more punching. (atk 22, 29) still super competent against a mostly stationary target. ]

[hacker]

Yeah, that sentence? That's a little weird. [ Guuurl. ]

[felidity]

[ she pauses to steady the bag. ] It's true! Alex and Malina are trying to teach my how to act like normal people, but I don't think it's working yet.

[hacker]

Consider your source. Seriously, if you wanna learn to act like you weren't popped out of some government test tube, the answer is simple: Netflix. There's no faster way to absorb how people act with each other.

[felidity]

I watched all three seasons of Orange is the New Black? [ so hopeful that is the kind of social interactions she's supposed to be absorbing. maybe not though. ]

[hacker]

... That's not how people act. Don't take tips from that one. [ A look of horror. ]

[felidity]

[ but!! her head dips down like a puppy with it's tail between it's legs. she tried and failed. ] Okay. [ she'll just go back to hitting the punching bag now. (atk 28, 29) ]

[hacker]

[ Skye looked up finally at the silence, noticing Kali's work on the bag. ]

Dude, you're destroying that thing. You weren't exaggerating earlier, were you?

[felidity]

No? [ she gives another jab (atk 26) and then a hard cross (nat 20, 31 total) that sends it off the hook and on to the floor with a thunderous thud that makes her wince. she looks back at skye like ummmmmmm. oops? ]
