[ 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.]

It's not like I have much of a choice.

[littledhampir]

I know what you did to her. [She pauses a moment, allowing him to make the connection before continuing.] And I'm sure in that messed up mind of yours you seem to think that what happened was part of some twisted little love story. From what I've seen from you, you really are that crazy.

[She takes a step closer to his cell, lowering her voice to try and make sure that nobody else would hear.]

What you did. Was rape. And for your sake? You better hope for either a quick death or a life spent rotting in whatever dark, disgusting place they can find for you because if you try and escape, if you ever leave here in any way that doesn't involve a body bag.... I will hunt you to the ends of the earth and by the time I am done with you, death - is going to look - like a picnic.

[imposturing]

You know, I'm really beginning to see why you Knights have this stand up reputation of yours. [ he makes a weighted motion with his hands against his torso ] It's really starting to sink in.

[littledhampir]

I'm not a Knight and if I have to leave before I become one just to make sure you pay for what you did to her, I will.

[imposturing]

Pretty sure they're going to execute me, sweetheart, so you're likely to get your wish.

[littledhampir]

You should be grateful. [Tone flat.] Execution is too good for somebody like you.

[She takes a step towards the bars, eyes darkening.]

And if you call me sweetheart one more time, even those bars won't save you.

[imposturing]

I keep hearing people say that, but nobody's opened them up yet.  Beginning to think the lot of you are all talk.

[littledhampir]

[Rose's hand twitches, for the first time wanting to reach for the gun at her hip but a friggen Nat 20 on her Will Save made her keep her cool.]

Maybe because we have other plans for you. [Bluff 28. Rose be talking out of her ass.] Makes you wonder, huh? What could be worse than coming in there to shut you up permanently...

[imposturing]

Wynn's too stuck on honor and nobility for what you're suggesting. [ but he sounds. LESS THAN SURE. ]

[littledhampir]

You think? [Stepping closer to the bars so that her face was practically pressed between them, a small, dangerous smile playing across her lips.] In my experience. Those are the ones you have to worry about. How many years do you think Wynn has been putting up with crap from slime like you? How many hours do you think he's spent, imagining all the ways in which he could make the likes of you pay?

[Rose lowered her voice, the smile she wore widening in a twisted, borderline sadistic way.]

You know what's great about this place? [The Dungeons.] Nobody can hear you scream.

[imposturing]

Perhaps you'd prefer to hear one of your friends scream instead. We'll see how his resolve holds when he has to torture one of his own. [ and he'll just start shifting from face to face of various Knights ] I get the feeling he's the type who plays favorites.

[littledhampir]

[He'll never know how much of a sore point he hits with Rose just then (playing favorites) because she manages to keep her face completely still, despite the surge of bitterness that swirls like an emotional storm inside her chest. (Will Save/Bluff (IDK which) Nat 20).]

You really don't get it do you? [Giving an infinitesimal shake of her head. She could almost pity him, if she didn't hate him so much.] Wear their faces, wear mine if you like see if I care.

You can change your face and your voice but that won't make you one of us. It won't be hard because he won't see them. He'll see what you really are. A sad, pathetic excuse for a human being who's so desperate to be somebody, that he has to take over other peoples lives because his own is such a disappointment and that, is why, no matter what you think, you'll never be anything like Elena.

She's somebody. You're...

[She shakes her head and finally steps back from the bars, realizing that in being here she wasn't doing anything but validating his existence.]

...Nothing.

[She takes another step back, ready to leave but has some choice parting words for Kyp before she does.]

Forget torture. The worst thing Wynn can do to you is leave you here to rot so you can realize just how little you matter.

[imposturing]

I think your mistake is showing in your choice of words. I might be pathetic for a human being - if I were one. You can't wrap your head around something outside that human perspective. Everything in this world has to revolve them and the way they view the world.

[littledhampir]

You think being different makes you better? Newsflash. I'm not human. I'm not better because of what I am, I'm better than you because of who I am and what I do.

[imposturing]

I suppose we'll see how much of that high ground you maintain by the end of this, won't we?

[littledhampir]

If only you'd be seeing much of anything from your cell.

[Half smirk, half scowl as Rose walks away.]
