[ The castle can be a happening place, even on more mundane days. This log is for random interactions over the course of this half of the month.

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. 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. ]

[Hook blinks awake, looking completely unashamed at how little he's taking his duties seriously. His feet are propped up on the desk, and he doesn't move when she pokes him, just smirks up at her as she finishes her phone conversation.]

Want to switch places? You're better at it.

[graveflowers]

This is true, I obviously am. ['cause you were sleeping, sir. She looks at her nails like it ain't no thang and swings around the corner of the desk so she can perch on it comfortably.] But no, I'm sorry dude, you are stuck with this crap. I pulled phone monkey duty yesterday. I made a giant bowl of paper stars and I ran out of fake names to use, so I need the break. And I think my fingers would fall off.

[unhand]

I don't see why this is even necessary. If I don't answer it, won't they give up on their own?

[graveflowers]

Oh, you're adorable. No. No. People are stupid, they'll sit on hold for two hours if someone tells them to. That's why you have to give them a reason not to call back.

[unhand]

Well, apparently threatening their lives isn't allowed. [Which seems really unfortunate he's good at intimidation.]

[graveflowers]

[Oh the precious dear.]

Wow, are you really that uncreative that you fall back on death threats, oh honey. [She nudges his chair with her foot.] Think outside the box. Like, really far. Like... Canada.

[Shut up.]

[unhand]

[A beat.]

Where?

[graveflowers]

...[No seriously.]

Uh. It's a country, across the pond. Which, if you don't know Canada might not be a colloquialism you actually... It's a country on a different continent. Lots of bears and moose, and... hockey.

[unhand]

...ah. [A beat.] How close is it to Maine? [This may not be the land that contains Storybrooke, but the land of Maine still exists, apparently.]

[graveflowers]

Depending on where in Maine, it's like a block away. How do you know Maine but not Canada, like, seriously.

[unhand]

I was headed for Maine when I arrived here. A town called Storybrooke. You won't have heard of it.

[graveflowers]

Wow, assumption much? [He is right, but look at how much Violet doesn't care.] Storybrooke and I could be BFFs.

[unhand]

Are you? [Whatever BFF is.]

[graveflowers]

No.

[unhand]

Not surprised. It doesn't exist in all worlds.

[graveflowers]

That seems to be a trend. So where were you coming from, that you didn't know Canada.

[unhand]

Most recently? A place known as the Enchanted Forest.

[graveflowers]

Is it, and this is just a guess, enchanted?

[unhand]

Parts of it. Most of the enchanted wood is gone now, but my ship's made out of it. It's good building material.

[graveflowers]

[Oh those poor trees.]

Huh. You've got a ship. And here I thought the head to toe leather thing was just a fetish I could get behind.

I didn't see a ship in the duck pond.

[unhand]

The trip over damaged it a bit.

[graveflowers]

Oh. That sucks.

[Putting it mildly for $500, Alex.] They got a dry dock 'round here?
