[ 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.]

I don't know. [ she looks twelve and her boyfriend is immortal, she can't gauge ages. ] Twenty seven, eight?

[ambitionist]

[shrug.] I guess that's all right.

[bittersweeter]

Why are you so touchy about it?

[ambitionist]

Why do you give a shit?

[bittersweeter]

'cause you were about to have a hissy fit because I was off by a whole year?

[ambitionist]

I wasn't about to have a hissy fit.

[bittersweeter]

Yeah, you were.

[ambitionist]

I wasn't. And maybe I just don't like thinking about it.

[bittersweeter]

Why? Isn't it an accomplishment to reach thirty. Not... for normal people, but people like us.

[ and ukw, all this walking, they've probably reached lila's room and she shoves it open to tuck the case under her bed. ]

[ambitionist]

[he stands in the doorway bc he's not sure if she actually wants him to come in. or SPOILERS HE'S A VAMPIRE. jk no it's just the first one.] Yeah, but ... you know what, I'm pretty sure I can claim gay stereotype. So, gay stereotype.

[bittersweeter]

Gay guys are Peter Pan wannabes? [ she straightens up like what? the more you know. ]

[ambitionist]

Not all of them, but a lot are. If you're gay and over 30 you might as well be dead.

[bittersweeter]

Have you people not heard of Ian McKellan? Or Elton John. I'm pretty sure that Liberace guy was over thirty. Do you want to get Chinese? I'm starving.

[ambitionist]

[i guess that counts as an invitation inside, so he comes into her room all the way and takes a seat on the edge of her bed.] I'd love some Chinese.

[bittersweeter]

[ nooo, she moves in front of him and reaches down to tug on his hand, smiling though. ] I mean away from this place.

[ambitionist]

A field trip, then? [ok fine he's getting up!]

[bittersweeter]

Yes! [ she keeps hold of his hand, walking backward to the door. ] Part of your London education.

[ambitionist]

[and he is perfectly content to follow her along.] Sounds promising.

[bittersweeter]

Best Chinese food outside of Chinatown. Grab the door.

[ambitionist]

[grabbing the door yo] I'll believe it when I see it. Or taste it, I suppose. Whatever.

[bittersweeter]

You don't trust me? [ she lets go of his hand once their in the hall. ]

[ambitionist]

It's not that I don't trust you. I'm just skeptical.

[bittersweeter]

Hmm. There was this place on 2nd, Shanghai Pavillion? They had the best winter melon soup. Until I got here. And had better.

[ambitionist]

I don't think I've ever been. [i.e. his knowledge local check was too low :'( ] But I don't need to tell you that 2nd isn't Chinatown.

[bittersweeter]

No shit, but it was only a few blocks away from my house so I could walk there.
