WHO || Everyone! [ota]
WHAT || Shenanigans.  THIS IS MOSTLY AN OVERFLOW POST for the last social log whoops
WHERE || Anywhere in the castle, surrounding environs, London, Andres, etc!
WHEN || Any time in May/June
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 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.]

[highlyemotional]

Do you think you're drawn to people that're immortal because they won't eventually leave you?

[highnotes]

Well, that's-- a surprisingly pointed question.

[Really, he shouldn't be surprised, but:]

Never really given it that much thought. Wasn't ever as concerned with being left as I was with running away.

[highlyemotional]

Running away from what?

[highnotes]

Home. [He grimaces.] What other people wanted me to be.

[highlyemotional]

[ OH THIS SPEAKS TO HER ON A PERSONAL LEVEL. ]

What did they want you to be?

[highnotes]

[THEY ACCIDENTALLY HAVE SO MUCH IN COMMON?]

A warrior. A Champion. Nobody talks about their feelings back in Pylea, or even acknowledges they exist. Every problem that comes up, they try to solve with a sword-- or a fist, in a tight spot.

[highlyemotional]

[ her nose wrinkles even as her eyes roll. ] I'm sure that works out real well for them all.

[highnotes]

Oh, you bet. It's paradise.

[His tone has never been drier, he's pretty sure.]

You can imagine why I didn't want to stick around.

[highlyemotional]

Yeah, I'd've left too. [ which maybe isn't true because she stuck around in mystic falls, but she had things there that she loved. ] But didn't it suck leaving your family?

[highnotes]

You'd think it would, but sentiment isn't really a big deal in Pylea. They wanted me gone. I 'shamed' them, not being champion material and all.

[His lips quirk into a wry smile. Yeah, you can guess just how much stock he puts into that opinion.]

I'd like to think I was always meant to leave.

[highlyemotional]

Maybe I was, too, but I wish I could have left before... everything.

[highnotes]

I think we all wish things had turned out differently for ourselves sometimes.

[highlyemotional]

You mean that doesn't get better with age? [ she frowns, nose wrinkling, before she adds with a note of sour sarcasm, ] Good thing I'm going to die young.

[highnotes]

Afraid not, kitten.

[But exactly how old do you think he is?]

Look at it this way. You've got nothing but time now. Make the most of it.
