[ 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. ]

Can't start up anything while I'm just a lowly squire.

[Though his tone indicates he doesn't actually think of it that way, he's just messing around.]

'Sides, I like the people here. Feels like home, bad weather and all.

[uncease]

I know what you mean. This place has a weird tendency to get under your skin- in a good way.

So how long have you been squired here? [He's so out of the loop, but at least he's friendly???]

[cuivre]

Exactly.

[Glad to see he's not the only one that feels that way.

And he's totally not offended. There's a lot of them here, really, and he definitely doesn't know everyone. Who honestly would be able to keep up with all of that?]

I was squired back in...November? [He starts to count on his fingers.] So...9 or 10 months I guess.

[uncease]

Guess that makes you more of an expert on how it works around here. I came in back in February- but my first mission kept me away for a good chunk of time. Still feel like I'm getting back into the swing of things.

[cuivre]

I honestly didn't realize it had been so long until you asked.

[He nods.]

Yeah, they can do that sometimes. It's more exciting than being around here, though.

[uncease]

I think I've had enough excitement for a bit, honestly. My first mission turned into something of an extended stay. What about you? See anything crazy out there?

[cuivre]

I think the corpse children took the cake on creepy things I never wanted to deal with in my lifetime.

[He's...sadly not kidding.]

[uncease]

...What? Actually- I don't know if I want to know.

[That sounds terrible.]

Everyone make it out okay?

[cuivre]

[I WISH I KNEW. I MEAN...]

As well as anyone can after seeing something like that. Gotta roll with the punches, though. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, right?

[uncease]

[PRETTY SURE FAYE ISN'T A ZOMBIE AT LEAST? #PRIORITIES]

Isn't that a... Kelly Clarkson song or something? [Knowledge (pop culture) 15. I don't even know, man...]

[cuivre]

[Knowledge (pop culture) 7]

I don't know. Who's that?

[Even more clueless.]

[uncease]

Not important. Anyway- I don't want to hold you up. [He's not a runner. Is there a post-run routine?]

Unless you want to swap squires stories. I was just headed to go get some food.

[cuivre]

Thanks for the offer, but I could really use a shower first. I might meet you there in a bit, though, if you're still around.

[uncease]

Sure. If not, I'm sure I'll see you around.
