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.]

[She nods in acknowledgement.]

Lucky us, then.

[badexample]

So what's new with you?

[allmydreams]

[She gives a small shrug.]

Pretty much business as usual. Missions, monsters, all that jazz.

[A beat.]

I'm going to be an aunt soon.

[In fact, she's going to become an aunt the day before her birthday.]

[badexample]

No shit? Well, congrats. [he's not really putting together that she means someone in the castle.]

Didn't realize you had family you were close to like that.

[allmydreams]

[She gives a small shrug.]

After a while you make your own, right? Can't be on your own forever, especially in a place like this.

[badexample]

[His mouth quirks up in a small smile.]

Never really thought about it, but yeah, I guess so.

[allmydreams]

[She nods with a small smile.]

So yeah. While I may not be her literal sister, I may as well be. It's good enough for me.

[badexample]

Makes sense to me. So who is it then? I know we have a couple of people about to pop around here.

[allmydreams]

Vi?

[And with her nat 20 wisdom check, she gives him a teasing smirk.]

The lady who married you?

[badexample]

Oh, shit. [He's sort of oblivious.] She's like about to pop, yeah?

[allmydreams]

[She nods.]

Yep. Within the next month or so.

[badexample]

That's mad. I mean good mad, but still...

[allmydreams]

Yeah. Though I'm sure it's gone much faster for the rest of us than it has for her.

[She can't even imagine what that would be like, being pregnant for an entire year.]

But fortunately for her, it should be over soon.

[badexample]

Well, sort of. After that, it's all about being a mum.

[allmydreams]

True, but that's a different kind of thing, you know?

[Because the baby is actually there and you can talk to them and interact with them and not feel like they're leeching off your life force like an acceptable parasite.]

[badexample]

Well, yeah... It's worse! Now there's a kid you can screw up. And can screw you up. Can't do anything you like anymore. And then in a few years, they hate you.

[allmydreams]

[Felicity just looks at him for a moment like ... are you serious? Unfortunately, she bombs her sense motive spectacularly (sense motive crit fail) so she pretty much believes that he probably hates kids.]

That's .... harsh.

[badexample]

[He shrugs]

Not saying Vi's going to do any of that. Just that it's a thing that could happen. Happens all the time, doesn't it?

[His own dysfunctional family may be called to mind right about now.]

[allmydreams]

[She takes a breath before shrugging.]

Yeah, I guess it does. I don't know - I never really had actual parents so I'm not really sure how that works.

[badexample]

Sorry. I don't mean to be- [He trails off and shrugs] I just don't always get along with my parents. Always felt like I would just end up disappointing another generation if I had any of my own.

[allmydreams]

I don't think we're meant to always get along with our parents. And I don't know your parents, but from what I know of you? I think you would be surprised by your parenting potential.

[badexample]

[he gives her a strange look]

What makes you think that?
