[ 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. ]

[ she looks actually offended by the suggestion ] What? No!

Ugh.

I just don't know how you stand it.

[uncease]

[His smile drops slightly, his expression growing confused.]

Sorry, what?

[shootfirst]

Spending that much time with the guy. He's a total toolbox.

[uncease]

[Uh... what? You crazy kids and your new fangled insults... He can't even respond, so he's just going to look at you, really puzzled.]

[shootfirst]

Have you seriously not noticed his whole stuck up attitude thing?

[uncease]

...Are you sure we're talking about the same guy?

[shootfirst]

Unjustly tall, dark hair, stupidly good-looking, vacant look in his eyes...

[uncease]

[That list is really confusing Kat because now he knows that you're talking about the same guy, but he has no idea if you like him or hate him.]

...okay [But now he's curious, and maybe a little concerned because he doesn't really know much about Fred, other than their bro times together.]

Is there something I should know about him..?

[shootfirst]

The only reason he gets to do so much stuff around here? Is because he's Wynn's great-great-great-whatever. He's not even that good of a fighter, just because he has giganto dragon biceps doesn't mean he's got any form or training. And we're supposed to learn from him?

[uncease]

Really? [On one hand, that seems really awesome, to have that kind of heritage, but on the other... why hadn't he mentioned it?]

He didn't say anything about that.

[shootfirst]

That's because he assumes everyone already knows. He thinks he's kind of a big deal.

[uncease]

And you don't agree. Did he kick your puppy or something?

[shootfirst]

I have a cat, thank you very much. [ she looks increasingly frustrated by the questions, as if reviewing a bunch of events in her head to her increasing dissatisfaction ] And he - he [ she seems mad enough that she's practically sputtering, but finally gets the words out ] He tries to skeeve all over me! Just like he probably does to all the girls because he thinks he's hot shit. [ she puts on a dopey jock voice, doing her best offensive fred impression ] Durrr, let me walk you to the mission room, let me carry those books, let me insult you by implying your inability to open a damn door for yourself.

What are we living in: the actual Middle Ages here?

[uncease]

[Charming just sort of stares for a moment, and then eventually starts laughing. Which is... probably not the right reaction for Kat. Whoops.]

I like that impersonation.

[shootfirst]

Because it's accurate.

[uncease]

He's not a bad guy. [This is bro loyalty, 100% okay.] He's done a pretty good job at showing me the ropes, at least.

[shootfirst]

There's gotta be something annoying he's done since you met him. Dish.

[uncease]

He hasn't offered to carry my books yet, so... Not really.

[shootfirst]

Guess that makes me the lucky one.

[uncease]

I can talk to him, if you want. [He offers genuinely.] Ask him to back off.

[shootfirst]

I can fight my own battles.

[uncease]

Who said you couldn't? Nothing wrong with a little back up.

[shootfirst]

I... guess. Just don't make it sound like I said anything.

[uncease]

You got it. [And there's just a genuine smile to go with that.]

So besides feeding your intense hatred for the Knight I'm squired to, what do you like to do for fun?

[shootfirst]

Magic things? Also hacking. And snowboarding. And you know... basic... chillin'.
