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.]

[likedillinger]

You missed me cutting one of these pool balls in half with my skills. Literally.

[littledhampir]

[Her face is just - The fuck?! Then half amused.]

Were you showing off?

[hahahaha happy Rose is awful to write now.]

[likedillinger]

I don't need to.

[littledhampir]

[Eyebrow raise.]

Totally showing off. [She teases as she moves to pick up a pool cue, teeth working over her lower lip as I roll a wisdom check to see how bad this is going to be for Helen.

...

Wis 4. Sorry Helen.]

So... maybe had the weirdest conversation ever, today. And by weird I mean I heard more about Helen's private life than I ever wanted to know.

[likedillinger]

Helen has a private life?

[littledhampir]

Uh... Helen's private life makes ours look boring.

[Wis 13... so high enough to say the following and yet not high enough to think better of this conversation.]

This is like, one of those things that I'm telling you because you're my boyfriend but if you tell anyone else I will maybe have to physically hurt you.

[Maybe she's joking. Then again. Rose.]

[likedillinger]

Well now I know this is juicy.

[littledhampir]

That's... one way of putting it. [She snags a pool cue from the rack on the wall, leaning against it like she actually plans to play pool when in reality, that's probably not going to happen any time soon.]

Have you met Des?

[likedillinger]

The one on the Talisman mission? ... Yeah. Can't say the guy seems to like me much.

[littledhampir]

I think that's just Des? He makes a worst first impression than I do.

[Harsh... But quintessentially fair.]

[likedillinger]

What, are you two poker buddies or somethin' now?

[littledhampir]

We bonded over being shot at by a helicopter... [Lifting her shoulder in a shrug.] He's alright. [Begrudging.

Rose tries to think of a good way to say this... but there isn't one when you're Rose.]

Helen's in a threeway not!relationship with him and his husband. [A beat.] Together. Not separately. There were mental images involved I made him stop talking.

[likedillinger]

[ give him a sec... ]





Wait. What?!

[littledhampir]

[The words just come tumbling out now.]

Actually he called it an open invitation to join them?

[likedillinger]

As in... sexually?

[littledhampir]

[Rose's face? Don't make me talk about it.]

The night you two tried to drink all the alcohol at the Wedding? She told me they kissed so... What other kind of open invitation is there? I don't think he was talking about drinking tea.

[likedillinger]

I mean, I knew she got trashed off her ass that night, but-- I guess I just thought she was more... British than that.

[littledhampir]

I thought she was more Helen than that. [Rose you sweet summer child.] And for the record. Me? Never gonna happen in case like, this conversation gives you any ideas.

[likedillinger]

I wasn't plannin' on asking another dude to sit in, if that's what you mean.

[littledhampir]

[She does little to mask the relief that touches her features (WS 12) And with a Wis 7, she doesn't jump on his wording to say OR WOMAN!]

Just... making sure. The way Des was talking? It's like he thought I was strange for not getting it.

[likedillinger]

Well, I mean, I get it, don't get me wrong. But somehow you never struck me as the kinda girl who'd wanna share.

[littledhampir]

Not so much. [With the sharing. Almost begrudgingly, she adds.] Where I grew up? That kind of thing gets a female Dhampir labelled a bloodwhore. People like me can't afford to get it.

[Sobs about the heavy amounts of slut-shaming and prejudice that exists in Rose's world.]

[likedillinger]

A bloodwhore? What's that supposed to mean? [ terrible wisdom checks are us ]

[littledhampir]

[Rose stiffens, eyes darkening as she picks up one of the balls from the table and sends it rocketing into another. (Str 21 Dex 25...)]

Dhampir who let Vampires feed on them during sex. [Gaze meeting Dean's.] Most female Dhampir back home aren't like me.

[likedillinger]

Yeah, I... don't really see you bein' into that sorta thing. Seein' as how dhampirs from this world were always nothin' but a myth, I can't say I know a whole lot about what the rest of 'em are like.
