[ The castle can be a happening place, even on more mundane days. This log is for random interactions over the course of these few months. 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. WE ARE BIG ON THREAD-JACKING HERE. 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.]

Because you're not used to it. And the only way you're going to get used to it is by practicing that way, so it's probably going to feel awkward for awhile.

[bittersweeter]

[ her nose wrinkles. what do you mean it just won't magically be better overnight??? ] My hand's all weak and shit, too. [ she's such a baby about not being perfect at this right off the bat. ] Sucks.

[ambitionist]

That's because it's your non-dominant hand. What were you expecting?

[bittersweeter]

I don't know, for it to suck less? [ sigh. dramatic sigh. maybe she'll just pack up. at least one gun. she can work on wyatt earping this shit when she can hold a gun without her hand shaking after twelve seconds because she's hella weak. ]

[ambitionist]

Earlier, were you shooting with your right? Because that was really good. I don't know what you're complaining about.

[bittersweeter]

Yeah, I know. [ she's not even attempting modesty rn. ] But it was hard.

[ambitionist]

Life's hard. Get a helmet.

[bittersweeter]

[ she reaches out to punch him in the arm. and since she crit failed... she probably just hurt herself. WHEN WILL SHE LEARN THAT SHE SHOULDNT PUNCH PEOPLE WITH HER DELICATE BIRD BONES. ] Ow! [ so sullen she damaged herself and not alex. ]

[ambitionist]

... Hey, are you okay? [wtf????]

[bittersweeter]

Yeah, I'm fine. [ she rubs her hand, leather gloves stretching over her knuckles, before she starts carefully packing up the guns. ] I should be used to skinny freaks being made of muscle.

[ambitionist]

I know, I have a deceptive frame. Sorry.

[bittersweeter]

I could always punch you with my left hand.

[ambitionist]

Or you could just stop punching me before you break something.

[bittersweeter]

[ maybe she'll just nudge him instead. ] So there's the one thing we don't have in common.

[ambitionist]

Handedness?

[bittersweeter]

Yeah. And I guess appearance since I'm pale and delicate and you're tall and decpetively built.

[ambitionist]

Well, I'm not — I guess I'm not really pale, but I don't tan at all. It's awful.

[bittersweeter]

We're Russian, we're either pale and blonde or fair and dark. That's it, there's no in between.

[ambitionist]

No redheads in Russia, huh?

[bittersweeter]

Well there's like a flock of them in St Petersburg, but. [ she pulls off her glove to inspect her hand. ] I google a lot. There's info-maps about it and Scandinavian blondes...

[ambitionist]

[he was just making fun of her ~absoluteness~, ok.] You really ought to find better things to google.

[bittersweeter]

I google better things. And then I google the history of the neck tie. What would you do if you were awake for days? [ it's a comment on her googling habits, but also a question as she's perpetually curious. ]

[ambitionist]

I dunno ... probably more of the same things I do while I'm awake now. I've never thought about it.

[bittersweeter]

Well, it gets boring after a while. Sleep is when your brain has time to decompress and wipe everything clean so you can start again the next day with a clean slate. Mine's never clean, so I just get new slates, collecting useless knowledge that never comes in handy. If I was in college I would have taken enough online classes to get a degree in psychology. [ a beat, a little smirk sliding across her lips. ] Imagine that.

[ambitionist]

Yeah? So why don't you?
