[ 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. ]

[ sense motive... 2... probably because he seems mildly distracted with his own shit??? such a dumbass, fred. ]

No point in it, huh?

[uncease]

[And then Charming crit failed a wisdom check to notice Fred's distractedness so they are just... so oblivious to the other's plight. Total bros.]

Pretty much. [After a beat more of silence, he realizes he needs to get out of his own thoughts.] Been anywhere interesting lately?

[nepotism]

Fought some pirates to save some dwarven gold. That was new.

[uncease]

Oh yeah? How'd that go? [Yes, let's talk shop. This is way more easy.]

[nepotism]

Picked up a new Knight out of it. Had a pretty damn good time of it, too.

Annnd Riddick is just gonna slide in hurr like a ninja

[notafraidofthedark]

[Riddick had been looking for Fred since he'd gotten back from his wanderings. After getting vague directions from different Knights throughout the castle, he'd finally been pointed in the direction of the Tavern. He spots Fred sitting at the table with another Knight and heads in that direction casually.]

Mind if I join in?

awh yeah bro party!

[uncease]

I don't know. Last guy you brought in could use some work. [Har har. He means himself. Also it's a joke :| OH HEY LOOK A NEW GUY.

Charming turns and smiles in a friendly good guy sort of way.]

Not at all! Pull up a chair.

[nepotism]

[ fred grins widely at the intrusion ] Well, look who finally decided to show back up.

[lightblindbadass]

[Riddick nod's at Charming, reaching a hand out to Fred for a manly shake. His goggles dully reflect the low lights of the tavern as he looks around, taking in all the other partons.]

Yeah, I realized I forgot my back-up pair of goggles, had to come back for them. [Sarcasm always sounds so right when coming from Riddick, but there's a friendly note in his voice when answering Fred.]

[uncease]

[Basically any friend of Fred's is good in Charming's book.]

Don't think we've met- I'm David.

[notafraidofthedark]

[Riddick looks at David a moment, his goggles reflecting dully in the pub's dim lights. After a moment he extends a hand.]

Richard B. Riddick.

[nepotism]

Riddick is an old squire of mine. Passed through with flying colors.

[uncease]

Oh, so this is who I have to live up to, huh? [He jokes but turns his attention to Riddick.]

Any advice for dealing with this one?

[lightblindbadass]

Just don't get him or yourself killed and you'll be okay. Oh, and you have to learn to laugh at his jokes. [Riddick smirks at Fred good-humoredly.]

[nepotism]

[ fred smirks ] I can tell when they're faking it.

[uncease]

Luckily, I think we have the same sort of humor. [Or at least the same sort of mentality, since he was totally okay with driving you around to chase a demon car at first meeting.]

And so far I'm doing alright to keep myself alive. Can't say I've had much of a chance to keep an eye on him, though. Looks like we're all in one piece, so I guess we must be doing something right.

[notafraidofthedark]

[Riddick nods at the bartender signaling for a beer, a small chuckle escaping.] You'll get your chance soon enough.

[He takes a swill of his beer when it's brought over, looking around the bar oh-so-casually, before reaching up to prop his goggles on his forehead. They weren't the most comfortable things to wear, and with it being semi-dark in the room it was dark enough that he wouldn't be blinded. His eyes flash as he looks back at Charming.] So, what drags you here?

[He can try to be social, it just depends on if it works or not.]

[nepotism]

I think that would also be me. [ fred holds up two fingers to flag down a beer of his own ]

[uncease]

If you mean the Knights- Yeah, he gets the credit. The bar? Just wanted a drink. [He lifts his glass to make his point.] Been sort of getting back into the swing of castle life after an extended mission. Figured a drink and some good conversation might help.

[notafraidofthedark]

Got one up me, I can't say as though I've ever gotten into the swing of castle life. [He takes a small swig of beer once it's brought to the table, nodding at the waiter in thanks.]

[nepotism]

Maybe if you actually hung around, you'd get a better feel for it.

[uncease]

So where is it you've been, Richard?

[He doesn't know better. You gave your full name so... he's going with it.]
