[ 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. ]

[David waits until the other woman is gone before turning to Gar with a smile.] Well, she seems like a barrel of laughs.

[rationalizes]

[ gar blushes a bit, getting to work on her hands and knees ] She's, erm, my boss, you might say.

[uncease]

Oh. [Well that makes it a little awkward to poke fun at her, so he switches gears while finding a spot to start working on the clean up as well.]

Well... when we're done, it'll look good as new.

[rationalizes]

It's very kind of you to help, Sir--?

[uncease]

Charming. [He finishes with a smile.] David Charming. Sorry, I guess the introductions were kind of forgotten, huh? I don't think I caught your name either.

[rationalizes]

I imagine they were, weren't they! Jeanne Gar. [ she manages to free a hand to offer ] A pleasure to meet you, Sir ... Charming.

[uncease]

David, please. I'm still not used to the whole Sir thing. And the pleasure is all mine, Jeanne.

[What even? Who calls Gar by her first name? Charming get out- you are drunk]

[rationalizes]

[ W/E SHE IS SO PLEASED THAT KAT IS NOT HERE TO INSTANTLY CORRECT YOU, she is just gonna bask in dis moment k ]

David then. Have you been with us long?

[uncease]

Since February. It's been... an adjustment.

[rationalizes]

Are you new to this world as well or...?

[uncease]

Yep, brand new- Well... I showed up about six months ago. This place definitely takes some getting used to.

What about you?

[rationalizes]

Over two years ago, actually. Wynn recruited me out of Oxford.

[uncease]

But you're from this place? You didn't come through the Veil?

[rationalizes]

Quite so! I was born and raised here in England.

[uncease]

So what are your thoughts on the whole Veil thing? Tired of us, yet?

[rationalizes]

Rather the opposite! Studying the Veil is something of my life's work. And the more subjects who come through, the more there is to learn.

[uncease]

I guess that's good for me. How much do you know about people from the same place coming through with different memories?

[He's really unsure about this daughter thing, okay...]

[rationalizes]

Different? How so?

[uncease]

Two different people who say they know you from before coming here, but the things they tell you are... significantly different.

Gold and Emma both claim that we come from the same place. But they seem to remember two different men.

[rationalizes]

I hate to even posit this, but... are you sure you can trust both of them?

[uncease]

No. [The answer comes without hesitation.] What do you know about Sir Gold?

[rationalizes]

Very little, I'm afraid. Although he does frequent the library often. He has some special affinities for... for maps, I believe.

[uncease]

[He nods, debating what to say.] His... version of my life... It's not the same as Emma's. And not in a god way.

[He basically informed the man that he'd entered into a torrid affair. NOT COOL GOLD.]

[rationalizes]

Do you think he'd have anything to gain from lying about it?

[uncease]

Not really. But something about the guy just makes me think he'd do it just for the hell of it.

I could be way off. It's just... Hard to figure out who I am when I'm being told two different things.
