[ 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.

Cute. See the thing with having half a memory is that if I jumped in the possibly of my messy, flailing death by drowning is 50/50 and that's kinda shitty compared to the 100% fatal drowning free odds I've got by hanging out right here.

[65]

I'd rescue you if you started to drown.

[graveflowers]

I don't have a bathing suit. [A beat.] Don't even.

[65]

Don't even what?

[graveflowers]

Suggest I don't need a bathing suit. You're a dude, so I was just preemptively judging.

[65]

I would hate to make you uncomfortable. There's nothing wrong with swimming in your clothes.

[graveflowers]

Except for the weighing me down while I drown part.

[65]

[he gives up, ok. it's not like he was that invested.] Maybe next time. You're welcome to watch me for now. That's what you were doing in the first place, wasn't it?

[graveflowers]

Yes. Blatant objectifying. [Ain't no shame in her lack of game.] So are you, like, ranking member of the Dragon's Fish?

[65]

If that existed, I'm sure I would be. But, as there isn't, I'm only in the Dragon's Tongue.

[graveflowers]

What's that? Wait, no... actually, no I've got nothing. What's that?

[65]

A sect dedicated solely to being charming and well-liked.

[graveflowers]

[Snort.] Yup, I can see why my knowledge of that is nonexistent as the closest I'll ever come to charming is the dude.

[65]

The dude?

[graveflowers]

There's a guy whose name is Charming. Like, for real.

[65]

You'd think his parents would be more creative.

[said by a guy from a place where people will name their children based on whatever happened to be near them at the time they were giving birth.]

[graveflowers]

[Said to the girl named after a flower, by the Goddess of Springtime, with the last name that means, gasp, flower in Italian. Speaking of uncreative.]

Well, his first name is David.

[65]

[it's ok gurl, we're all special here.]

It's his last name? Oh, so it's more like something he has to aspire to.

[graveflowers]

Built in life goals. Handy.

fsdkgsjgld ugh i lost this tag!!

[65]

If only we could all be so lucky, right?

[graveflowers]

Yeah. [She makes a face like she's thinking about something.] If my name was a life goal, I would be purple so... either asphyxiating, which isn't helping the whole water thing. Or, the blueberry girl in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Also named Violet. Hmm.

[65]

[yeah he doesn't know wtf charlie and the chocolate factory is even so.] Aren't violets a flower...?

[s-so brilliant.]

[graveflowers]

You've... you've never seen Charlie and the Chocolate Factory?

[Actually aghast.] What, are you Amish?

[65]

[he wrinkles his nose] No. So, it's a movie?

[graveflowers]

Yes. [She nods firmly like she's come to a decision and she pushes to her feet.] Get out of the water, fish boy. We're going to watch it, right now. Because it's an actual tragedy, that you've never seen it.
