[ 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. ]

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'.

[uncease]

Magic? [He's interested in that, even if he doesn't really know why.] I think I've heard a little bit about that during the tour. What sort of stuff can you do?

[shootfirst]

Put shields on myself, change people's faces around, turn invisible, make electronics go nuts... sort of runs the gamut.

[uncease]

Wow. [That was a wide variety of things that feel vaguely dangerous to him.] How long have you been able to do all that?

[shootfirst]

Well, I'm always learning new stuff, but I started when I was fourteen.

[uncease]

Wow, you've been here that long? [He... sort of assumes that most people came through the Veil or only learn stuff like this with the Knights.]

[shootfirst]

[ she snorts a laugh ] Yeah, I'm pretty sure there's child labor laws against that, even in Jolly old England.

I learned from this old witch who lived in the woods behind my house.

[uncease]

No, I mean... You didn't come through the Veil?

[His world view is a little skewed. Cut him some slack here, Kat.]

[shootfirst]

You mean did I grow up with no running water and ogres and stuff running around? Yeah, no.

I came from New York.

[uncease]

[IT'S NOT A STUPID QUESTION KAT. GOSH.]

How'd you end up here with the Knights?

[shootfirst]

Wynn sorta sprung me from jail. I guess he'd heard about my skill with potions somehow. And other stuff.

[uncease]

I'm guessing the 'other stuff' might have something to do with why you were in jail in the first place?

[shootfirst]

Wellll, only if Wynn was looking for people with hitting-people-with-baseball-bat skills. Seems pretty specialized to me.

[uncease]

[Note to self: DON'T PISS OFF KAT]

Yeah, that's... a niche field, for sure.

[shootfirst]

I'd like to think I'm the resident expert.
