[ The castle can be a happening place, even on more mundane days. This log is for random interactions over the course of this month.  Because not everyone is into parties, ok.  

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. ]

2nd floor computer lab, early august ♔ (multi thread)

[spellfile]

[ zero doesn't come out of his room much, honestly, so it might be surprising to see him if anyone wanders into the computer lab at some late hour of the night... but there he is, moving from screen to screen, typing furiously and grumbling to himself. ] Damn kids, no respect...

[bittersweeter]

[Guess who's back, back again... She doesn't exactly sleep much, so what better to do with her free time than spend six hours looking at pictures of cats on the internet? Or maybe she is buying shoes, or drugs from a Canadian pharmacy... the world will never know because Sir Butthead is in the computer lab and it makes her stop just inside the door.]

If you say "get off my lawn" I am going to have no choice but to think you're a golem brought to life to be the caricature of a skeevy old man.

[Did you miss her?]

[spellfile]

Don't tell me all of this is your fault. I really don't wanna know the skeevy details.

[bittersweeter]

I didn't do anything!

[spellfile]

You wanna take the defensive princess routine down a notch over there? It was a joke.

[bittersweeter]

Fine. [She crosses her arms, but moves closer because curiosity killed the cat.] Someone download a hilarious amount of porn or something?

[spellfile]

For someone who professes to have nothing to do with it, you sure hit the nail right on the head.

[bittersweeter]

Really? [Her nose wrinkles like ew, but she looks simultaneously pleased that she was right. Ten points.] That's gross.

[spellfile]

But hardly surprising, in a castle full of hundreds.

[bittersweeter]

Well, that's gross. It wasn't me. So... [She moves closer so she can lower her voice, leaning against one of the desks.] Hear from your boyfriend lately?

[spellfile]

[ dis. face. ] ... Radio silent.

[bittersweeter]

[He loves her.]

Is that good or bad, do you think?

[spellfile]

With him? I'd rather know what he's up to. Silence usually means trouble, especially after what went down.

IS THIS OKAY? I'M JUST VERY EXCITED.......

[badexample]

[Apparently the moons have aligned and both men have decided to relocate to the lab for one reason or another. Andrew just wanted to a step away from a personal project and get some air.

...And then he ended up in a computer lab. It happens.

He wasn't expecting anyone to be up and around, but upon stepping in, he hears a familiar grumble. His surprise is over taken by his curiosity so he calls out as he steps forward.]

What is it now?

but of course!!

[spellfile]

[ a sign of the coming apocalypse, both of them leaving their rooms. ]

Up to our goddamn ears in viruses. One guess why.

[badexample]

Mark got one of those emails from a Nigerian prince and believed it again?

[If anyone would buy it, it would be Mark....]

[spellfile]

[ he lets out a bark of a laugh and shakes his head ] Think less innocent.

[badexample]

[Andrew is vaguely picking up what Zero is putting down.]

How less innocent are we talking here?

[spellfile]

Of the triple X variety less innocent.

[badexample]

[Andrew groans and flops himself into a chair at a desk across from Zero.]

Want a hand with the clean up? Or would you prefer I track down the culprit?

[spellfile]

Why, were you in the mood for a public shaming?

[badexample]

Figure someone should tell 'em to knock it off at least. Boggin' down the system like that- Shouldn't we do something about it?

[spellfile]

If you really think a lecture's gonna change basic human nature when it comes to finding something to whack off to, you're a helluva lot more naive than you look. [ which isn't saying much... ]

[badexample]

[He grumbles under his breath about knowing more than people think. But that would require him to explain his own extensive (virus free!!!) porn collection and that is... not something he really wants to get into right now.]

Do you need me for anything or what?

[spellfile]

How about you start on that end and we meet in the middle?
