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

Apart from more training, not really, no.

At an elementary level, binding is rather simple, actually. - Hell I could teach you, or really anyone else how to do it in under a day. The difficult part is the repeated practice and research to draw more power from a vestige, and have more... influence.

[lissatrinall]

So do you build up some kind of supernatural reputation with these things?

[thesleeper]

In time. I haven't progressed deep enough into the art, personally, but I've read about it. The vestige begins to protect the binder - cherish them. In some cases they develop extremely strong rapports, if the feeling is mutual, and the spirit grants more power still to the host.

I suppose you could say, right now it's just business... But maybe someday, it will be more serious.
[Much like his non-vestige relationships...]

[lissatrinall]

I'd be curious to do some energy readings on you from day to day when you're hosting different vestiges. If you're willing.

[thesleeper]

I'm not familiar with the process, but... sure. Anything I can do to help.

[lissatrinall]

It should be relatively painless.

[thesleeper]

[ ...Relatively?]

Uh... I can't wait?

You know, I've never really found much practical use for this far-hand skill of Ronove's until now. It's great for little tricks and such - but this is working great!

[lissatrinall]

I suppose that means you're hired.

[thesleeper]

[The papers stop moving, several fall to the ground]

R...Really? You're serious?

[It's probably better that he can't make any other face, because he'd look like the happiest little puppy-dog right now]

[lissatrinall]

Is there a reason for me to rethink the offer?

[thesleeper]

No! I just... thought it would be harder to convince you, I suppose...

[lissatrinall]

Well, I could use an assistant. If you do a poor job, I can just replace you later.

[thesleeper]

I suppose that's true... But I don't think you'll have to worry about that.

[lissatrinall]

We'll see. I'll drum up a list of things for you to do.

[thesleeper]

Sounds like a plan, boss.

[lissatrinall]

Hopefully your face doesn't stay stuck that way from making it all day.

[thesleeper]

If you think this is bad, you'll be really amused by some of the other ones, I'd imagine.

[lissatrinall]

I'll guess we'll have an opportunity to find out. [ annd she starts towards the door ]
