[ 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. ]

I guess that's your call, in the end. But it wouldn't hurt to take him down a peg sometimes.

[bittersweeter]

Not exactly strong enough to choke slam him into a wall.

[superswank]

Not everybody's strengths here are in their right hook. You're a Knight for a reason. There must be something you can do that he can't.

[bittersweeter]

Yeah, I can shoot him in the face. [Which, for some strange reason, she thinks would be frowned upon.]

[superswank]

[ idk sydney laughs, at least ] Not exactly what I was going for.

[bittersweeter]

My bag of tricks is admittedly more subtle, I guess. But I'm not sure how I could get him off my back with them. Besides, he can cockblock me from leaving this place. [Which would distress her and would be bad.]

[superswank]

You think he would do that after investing six months in you?

[bittersweeter]

I don't know. He doesn't give me any indication of... anything. Except this particular bitchy face when he's extra annoyed that I exist. Which is basically all the time.

[superswank]

I can find out where he thinks you stand. If you want.

[bittersweeter]

...why? [Annnd she is suddenly the most mistrustful because... Lila.]

[superswank]

Honestly? [ she looks back over his shoulder to where he's... getting in a brawl with alainn ] He just rubs me the wrong way.

[bittersweeter]

[Well, that works.] Okay. Have fun getting anything out of him.

[superswank]

You don't think I can do it?

[bittersweeter]

I didn't say that. [Heavily implied by her tone, but she never said it.] I think it'd be easier to get blood from a stone, but you seem like you could handle that so.

[superswank]

Sometimes it's just a matter of knowing where to apply pressure.

[bittersweeter]

His trachea would be counterproductive, wouldn't it?

[Its bad that Lila can calmly talk this way about someone she actually cares about. But Sydney had a point, Lila would only stop her from following through if it would actually hurt Eric. No one fucks with her dad mentor but her okay.]

[superswank]

It's a little hard to spill answers when you can't talk.

[bittersweeter]

You could get it in writing.

[superswank]

I'll keep the option open.

[bittersweeter]

Well. Have fun with that. I'm gonna go take advantage of my sudden free time... [A beat.] And still be stuck in the castle because he's too busy to sign me out a car... Super.

[superswank]

You can sign your own out, you know. If you've been on a mission before, you have clearance.

[bittersweeter]

[This expression is actual gratitude.] You are the best.

[And then... she just turns tail and flies right out of there because she wants to go do things. Which basically amounts to buying cigarettes and maybe she'll catch a movie! By herself! ...She doesn't even care that that is lame. Maybe she'll just grab Faye on her way. WHO KNOWS.]
