[ 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'm not that dumb.

[bittersweeter]

Little bit. [ her nose scrunches up as she attempts to find a parking space. ]

[ambitionist]

I'm pretty sure you like it, in any case.

[bittersweeter]

I'm also a really good liar. [ never giving in tbh. but she's finally found a parking spot so she veers over there wildly. aha sucka. yes, her learning to drive in nyc is pretty obvious. ]

[ambitionist]

So am I. It makes me good at knowing when people are lying. [SHUT UP ALEX YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE ANY RANKS IN THAT. YOU'RE A CHUMP. he doesn't vocally chastise her mr. toad's wild ride driving, but stares at her like really bitch???]

[bittersweeter]

[ whatever bitch that parking was golden. you try getting parking in the front row, bitch. ] Yeah, I hear that a lot. [ she doesn't seem all that impressed as she climbs out of the car and lifts her eyes to squint at the eye. so high. so cramped. HALP. ]

[ambitionist]

Probably not from people who mean it, though. [he gets out of the car with her, wheee.] You sure you wanna go? We don't have to.

[bittersweeter]

Yeah, once in a lifetime opportunity, I might as well. [ it's not very once in a lifetime, but w/e. she's committed to this dumb idea. ] Let's go.

[ambitionist]

All right. [shrug. he starts walking over towards the eye.]

[bittersweeter]

[ she lights a cigarette before she scampers to catch up with him. she's going to need the vice before she's in that little pod. ] Remind me to get a souvenir. [ proof, basically, to show sylar. LOOK I DID A THING. ]

[ambitionist]

Sure. [he glances over at her smoking, feeling very reminded of ... himself. (wis nat 20) BUT HE WON'T TRY TO NAG HER AGAIN.] You ought to stop that, you're making me want one.

[bittersweeter]

Maybe you should work on your self-control.

[ambitionist]

I have, thank you. When I was your age, I smoked like a chimney. ... Oh my god, I just said "when I was your age." I might throw up a little.

[bittersweeter]

[ such delighted laughter. ] Quick say something stupid, like "yolo"!

[ambitionist]

I hate YOLO.

[bittersweeter]

Watch it, you're going to sound thirty two soon.

[ambitionist]

[NO HE CAN'T BE OFFENDED BECAUSE HE HAS TO RANT ABOUT YOLO. he hates himself in this moment sobs.] It's not even accurate! People get rezzed all the time. It's possible to live more than once.

[bittersweeter]

[ snort. ] I know, I've seen it happen before. [ sort of?? ] But some people do just die. I'd be pissed if someone pulled that on me.

[ambitionist]

You just have to make sure the people close to you know you're DNR. Or get it on paper. But yeah, it doesn't always work every time.

[bittersweeter]

[ another snort. ] I could tell Faye I was DNR and she would ignore it.

[ambitionist]

So don't name her executor of your living will. [he scrunches his nose.] This got morbid fast.

[bittersweeter]

[ she shrugs, unconcerned with the morbidity. ] Who would I name then? My boyfriend is on the other side of the ocean. Half the adults I know wouldn't call him and... probably wouldn't leave my fate up to me to begin with because, golly I'm still a kid.

[ambitionist]

What about Eric? He seems like he'd respect your wishes over something like that.

[bittersweeter]

[ her slightly surprised and thoughtful expression leads to the conclusion that she didn't think of eric. sorry, eric. ] Yeah, he probably would. I'll tell him.

[ambitionist]

It's not about like ... who's your bestest best friend or even your boyfriend or whatever for stuff like that. It's about who you can trust to make objective decisions. Sometimes you can trust those people, but sometimes you can't.
