[ 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 who are not currently squired in may also post, as their characters are living in the castle awaiting their ceremonies.  This takes place after the Knights have returned from Dimitris' wedding. 

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.]

So download Spotify and thank me later when your life is changed.

[starprince]

I'm still gonna make my tape.

[hacker]

Why make a tape when you can make a Spotify playlist? No physical copy needed.

[starprince]

I spent most of my life in space, Skye. Earth technology is more impressive now than it used to be, yeah, but... [ he shrugs ] That's not what I missed about it.

[hacker]

So what was? [ The question carries genuine interest with it, probing and gentle. She follows it up with dismissive, callous sass: ] Because if you say it's that Earth girls are easy— [ Oh no that film was after his time. ]

[starprince]

You get that I was a kid when I left, right?

[hacker]

I can see you left your sense of humor in the 80s.

[starprince]

And a really rad Ninja Turtles backpack.

[hacker]

But that's not what you missed most, either. [ She sobers up, almost as an apology for the callous joke from moments before, now corrected to show that she does honestly want to hear it. ]

[starprince]

[ called out ]

Well, what would you miss, if you were gone that long?

[hacker]

After nearly thirty years?

[ Skye draws in a hissed breath, weighing the thought. A few people seem to cross her mind, judging by the way her gaze drifts to the door, and there's some secondhand wistfulness in the way she considers the room around her, but she ultimately lifts her gaze back to his and shakes her head. ]

Wrong person to ask, Quill. Move as much as I do, and you don't wind up with things to leave behind in the first place.

[starprince]

There has to be something.

[hacker]

... Potential, I guess. [ She shrugs her shoulders. ] I've spent most of my life trying to figure out where I came from. If I ever left the planet, I'd lose any chance of getting those answers.

[starprince]

You mean like... your family?

[hacker]

[ Visibly uneasy, Skye swallows and nods. ]

[starprince]

You wanna talk about it?

[hacker]

Not much to tell. I was just a baby when the orphanage got me. Not much in the way of records to search on, so I've been scraping together what I can over the years. [ her shoulders hunch. ] But this is your therapy session, not mine.

[starprince]

Hey, I was just making a tape. You're the one who took it there.

[hacker]

You were talking about what you'd really missed. So? Is that it? Family?

[starprince]

[ hrngh ] Yeah.

You could say that.

[hacker]

You can tell me. We all have our own issues, our own baggage: you don't have to hold it back with me.

[starprince]

[ rude skye

he looks down, fiddling with the cassette player ] ... You know that tape we almost left in your van? The one I brought with me?

[hacker]

Yeah, a bunch of old songs. [ Her eyes catch the cassette player. ] Where's it from?

[starprince]

No laughing.

[hacker]

[ Skye touches her fingertips to her forehead, her chest, and each shoulder in turn: she may not be religious, but growing up in an orphanage filled with nuns taught her what a real promise looks like. ]

I swear.
