[ 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.]

Clark, you really don't have to ...

[ She shakes her head, sighing. ]

[clarkfuckingkent]

I know. I don't have to do anything. And I'm not saying I will. But what does he look like, Skye?

[hacker]

[ She waffles for a moment, but ultimately finds herself listing traits, ] White. Dark hair. 6'2". Human.

[clarkfuckingkent]

[He nods, trying not to think about how that description could probably fit a handful of people in the castle at any given time. It will at least help him narrow down any potential threats, if he spots any.]

Do me a favor, alright? Promise me that if you're in trouble, you'll call for me. Just shout and I should be able to hear it. [Maybe. You don't actually have super hearing on your sheet yet Clark, but whatever.]

[hacker]

[ Skye hesitates, considers it a moment, but then nods. Better than getting in over her head ever again. ]

If I can't handle it, I'll call you.

[clarkfuckingkent]

Good. [He lets out a heavy exhale, nodding to indicate that her word is good enough for him.]

So- you in the market for a sparring partner?

[hacker]

Sparring partner with super strength? That seems a little unfair.

[clarkfuckingkent]

I've actually been focusing on trying not to hurt people. Learning how to pull back. Subdue but not- yknow...kill anyone. I had these made- [He gestures to his hand wraps] They help with that.

[hacker]

[ Well, she's visibly surprised by that news, and still slightly wary, but she'd be a really shitty support system if she went around saying that she knew he'd never hurt anyone but still didn't want to chance it herself.

She has to have faith in Clark. He won't hurt her. Skye draws a breath and nods. ]

All right. Let's test 'em out.

[clarkfuckingkent]

[Wow, he rolled so low... It's like he doesn't want to hit her at all. (attack 19, nonlethal damage 21 /unsure)

He has a second attack, but he's just throwing the one punch and then taking a step back to see if she's okay.]

[hacker]

[ THAT STILL HITS HER. AND DOES HALF HER HP. Skye is actually bodily thrown by the strength of his punch, lethal or not. She comes back at him with a relatively decent atk 23/nonlethal 3, and then another swing that definitely misses. ] No offense, Clark, but I don't think those are pulling your punches much. ]

[clarkfuckingkent]

[HE INSTANTLY REGRETS THIS CHOICE. Her hit is mostly absorbed by his damage reduction. Nothing about this is fair. Why did he ever think this would work out.]

Sorry, I-- maybe this isn't a good idea. [He doesn't want to knock her out and he's pretty sure he will if he throws another punch...]

[hacker]

Don't worry about it. [ She drops her hands, realizing Clark's done on that note. She works hard not to ... rub the injured spot where he'd hit her, which results in her hands clenching and unclenching at her sides. ] We'll call it a work in progress.

[clarkfuckingkent]

Maybe I just need to stick to sparring with the couple of people around here who are more like me. [Which plays up his own insecurities and fears more than it would ever be an insult to her. He wishes he could soar normally with her, but ever hit is likely to knock her out. He's a monster 8( ]

[hacker]

No, you don't. [ She moves up next to him, imploring. ] Clark, you're gonna run into a lot more out there than just people like you. You don't need to practice that to get stronger—you're already strong enough. This is exactly what you need to be doing to get to where you want to be.
