[ 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.]

Good to know. [How??? How is that good to know???] Maybe I should just stick to magic and leave the languages to... anyone else who has the patience for this.

[untethered]

Well, no one learns them all at once. Also, there are spells that can help you understand or speak other languages, if magic is your specialty.

[reallywicked]

Wait, really? [She sits up a little straighter.] Maybe I need to pay more attention to Gold and Hasmed.

[untethered]

They do know what they're talking about when it comes to magic.

[reallywicked]

They should. They've lived basically forever.

[untethered]

That might be a bit of an exaggeration.

[reallywicked]

I'm not so sure. At the very least, their combined age is probably ridiculous.

[untethered]

In this world, it's hard to tell age by one's cover, anyway.

[reallywicked]

[She looks sort of confused at first.]

Oh. Book joke. I get it. [She gives Belle a closer look.] So what about you? What's your deal? Other than the librarian thing.

[untethered]

My... deal. [ she smiles a little bit at that, looking down. ] Well, I came here from the Shadow World, several years ago. In France.

[reallywicked]

Do you remember much from before?

[untethered]

Everything. I think. Although I've realized over the last year or so that certain events near the end seem a bit... hazy. But for a long time, I believed I hadn't forgotten anything at all.

[reallywicked]

Is there any pattern to it? How much people remember or not?

[untethered]

None that anyone's ever been able to distinguish.

[reallywicked]

Seems unfair. Sometimes I wish I could just remember some part of who I was.

[untethered]

Maybe you have in a way you just don't realize yet. Is there anything you've found that you're good at, that you never learned here? That feels...familiar?

[reallywicked]

Just magic. I had no idea I could do anything like that until I got to the castle and weird stuff started happening.

[untethered]

But you've picked it up very quickly, since?

[reallywicked]

I guess so. Gold seems to think I'm doing okay. Hasmed doesn't emote, so that's harder to tell.

[untethered]

I've seen him angry before, so I think if you're not getting that end of things, you're doing alright.

[reallywicked]

He looks perpetually pissed off. That's his one expression. How could you even tell?

[untethered]

General irritation is a bit different from his actual outbursts.

[reallywicked]

So what's he like when he's actually pissed?

[untethered]

Hopefully you'll never have to find out.

[reallywicked]

Well, yeah- but for the sake of science, let's say I was close to the edge of finding out. Are there any warning signs? Cues to look out for?

[Desperately seeking inside scoop.]
