[ 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. ]

[pathology]

Almost as much trouble as it won't be for you to mind your own business. Are you the librarian?

[lissatrinall]

I outrank the librarian.

[pathology]

Which makes you ... what? Queen of the librarians?

[lissatrinall]

Head of the Dragon's Hoard.

[pathology]

[once again, this is a situation in which most normal people would feel a feeling of "oh shit", especially after ... being such a little shit. AND ALSO ESPECIALLY AFTER HALF-ASSEDLY GUNNING FOR A POSITION THERE. but astrid is not normal people ... ]

Does the library fall under the Hoard's jurisdiction or is this some kind of power trip thing? [note that she hasn't stopped writing in the book while having this conversation.]

[lissatrinall]

Much more than insubordination falls under our squires' jurisdiction. [ she just reaches out to snatch at astrid's wrist and still her writing ] We're in charge of all reference materials in this building. If you'd like to lose your rights to them, pray, continue.

[pathology]

[she makes a lemon face and slowly drops her pen. fuck you tbh. YOU'RE STILL NOT HER REAL DAD.] So it's definitely a power trip thing.

[lissatrinall]

[ lis'sa just stares her down blankly, as if she couldn't give two shits ] It's a respect thing. As in, these books have proven their worth to the Knighthood and therefore deserve some. You, on the other hand, have yet to do so.

[pathology]

Don't worry, someday I'll be a real boy. [eyeroll. ugh.]

[lissatrinall]

If you don't wear out your welcome before you're even squired.

[pathology]

I could never wear out my welcome. I'm totally endearing.

[lissatrinall]

Let's hope Wynn agrees with you.

[pathology]

[she slams the book shut and slowly edges it away from herself.] Are you done with the lecture yet?

[lissatrinall]

That depends on whether you need an escort out of the library because you intend to pick right back up where you left off the moment I turn around, thinking it constitutes some grand act of rebellion, instead of merely engendering a sense of childishness that could get you killed on a mission here.

[ she smirks humorlessly ] But clearly that isn't the case?

[pathology]

[PUFFY TSUNDERE FACE. WHY IS THIS HAPPENING TO HER???] Yeah, sure, whatever. I was leaving. [were you really, astrid?? either way, she gets up and tries very hard not to do a teenage girl stomp and maybe 60 percent succeeds.]
