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.]

[Poe is going to hold up a jar of Nutella]

I found this in a cabinet. This stuff is amazing.

[ambitionist]

You know what's really good? Peanut butter and Nutella together. [he moves over to a cabinet and starts shuffling through it, finally grabbing a box of generic boring cereal and tilting it so that ... a jar of peanut butter falls out into his waiting hand. so exciting. so hidden. he explains:] It's hard to get here in England, and what they charge for it is fuckin' highway robbery. I'm protective of my stash. [and then a smile as he sets the jar on the counter] But you can try it if you want.

[newgenwraith]

Hey, if you're willing to share, I'm not going to say no. You haven't steered me wrong yet.

[ambitionist]

I try my best. [a grin] You settling in okay?

[newgenwraith]

I was, until I went off on my first job. That was not at all what I was expecting.

[ambitionist]

What happened?

[newgenwraith]

The target had like some crazy Force powers and choked me up pretty good. [he'll tilt his neck and the bruises that are fading show better] And then I got shot from my own gun.

[ambitionist]

[well, that explains the bruising. although poe's explanation leaves him with all these new questions, such as:] What do you mean, Force powers? And how'd you get shot from your own gun?

[newgenwraith]

From how it was explained - it was like magic. She was able to manipulate the air around me to tighten around my neck, or to bounce the laser blast back at me.

[ambitionist]

So what you're saying is ... your gun got magicked into shooting back at you?

[newgenwraith]

Pretty much. and then it was ripped out of my hand and flung across the little town we were in. Great first mission, huh?

[ambitionist]

Well that's some bullshit. [he chuckles a little.] Maybe all first missions are crazy as fuck. I mean, I got stabbed by a god on my first. For texting.

[newgenwraith]

You're kidding. Who's god?

[ambitionist]

Loki? Norse god of mischief? Turned into a horse once or some shit? Well, anyway, one time he got bored and decided he wanted to take over Russia. Didn't really go the way he planned. Uh ... not so much because of us, but we were there to watch his brother kick his ass, so. Yeah.

[newgenwraith]

... sorry, did you say he could turn into a horse?

[ambitionist]

Not in front of us, but I'm pretty sure there are stories where he turned into a horse or something. Like, 90 percent sure.

[newgenwraith]

Like in those books they have in the library?

[ambitionist]

Yeah, there are probably books about it in the library. Sorry, sometimes I forget you don't already know all this stuff.

[newgenwraith]

Nah, it's fine. I can't really ready them anyway. I'm still trying to learn your written language.

[ambitionist]

You need any help with that?

[newgenwraith]

You offering to read me bedtime stories? [playful grin]

[ambitionist]

[he snorts] I mean, if you really wanted me to ...

[newgenwraith]

[he gives Alex a once over, and then smirks]

You're not going to hear me complain.

[ambitionist]

Sure, fine. I'm not reading any fuckin' Loki stories, though, I'm done with that asshole. [he holds up one hand so poe can see his scar, a pale white sliver that's not really noticeable unless you're looking for it on the back of his hand. and on his palm.] You see this shit?

[newgenwraith]

[he leaned in close, looking to see it and when he did, his finger ran along the scar lightly]

He did that, huh?
