[ 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've never had one. Maybe you can convince Wynn that importing bagels is a worthwhile expense.

[ambitionist]

Never had one? Oh, honey, you've gotta fix that. There's this one bagel place on Broadway, Absolute Bagels? I think I had a legitimate problem for awhile. And there's another place in Brooklyn, uh ... near Dyker Park, I think? I don't remember the name, but they're pretty legit. They have all these weird flavors, like purple blueberry bagels and shit. [when he gets worked up like this, it's pretty obvious to see that he ... misses new york.]

[reallywicked]

Lila goes to visit her boytoy sometimes. I'm pretty sure Wynn doesn't give a shit if any of us hop on a plane. Maybe you could take me sometime? Like now? [Back in May when NYC wasn't a mess lmfao]

[ambitionist]

Would if I could, tiger. But if I could be in New York, I wouldn't be here.

[reallywicked]

Oh, come on- We could totally disguise you. I think your heart skipped a beat when you talked about those bagels. Seems worth it to me.

[ambitionist]

I know too many fucking mind readers for you to just slap a hat and sunglasses on me. Or even a disguise spell. [hashtag one of the reasons he took up japanese.]

[reallywicked]

Okay... [She gets out her phone and does some sweet googling (research nat 20. best time to use it to try to impress a guy you like.)] So some of these places do international shipping. [She's not even asking you. She's just fucking ordering some bagels. Enough for Lila too, just in case she's also coo coo for bagels like Alex is.]

There. So tomorrow we should have New York worthy breakfast waiting for us. [She paid for super fast shipping. fight me.]

[ambitionist]

What, no shit? [HE IS SERIOUSLY HEARTWARMED. AND SHOCKED. but mostly heartwarmed.]

[reallywicked]

Mhm. [She says, like it ain't no thang. But really she's vibrating with excitement because he's noticing her!!] I'll grab them when the mail comes in and come swing by your room.

[ambitionist]

[he leans in to kiss her. she earned it, ok.] You're a peach.

[reallywicked]

I know. [she puts her phone away and takes his arm again so that they can continue to the kitchen.] So are there any other cities you're banned from?

[ambitionist]

Nope, just New York. The only city that matters. [hashtag stereotypical new yorker tbh.]

[reallywicked]

Maybe Wynn will let you build your own statue of liberty in the garden.

[ambitionist]

[snort] Yeah, no, that's not necessary. Bagels, though. Maybe a pizzeria. I wouldn't turn my nose up at that.

[reallywicked]

All about the food, huh?

[ambitionist]

Of course. Food and culture go hand in hand.

[reallywicked]

Well, let's see what culture we can drum up at home, hm? [Oh look- the kitchen. She's just going to start raiding the pantry.]

[ambitionist]

Good luck. [not sounding too optimistic about her options over here. he pulls himself up to sit on the counter. then, once he's up, he takes hematite off his shoulder and lets her ... roam around the counter. usually he's such a clean freak but i guess he doesn't care when it's not his kitchen ok.]

[reallywicked]

[Hemaatite is really excited to explore this new land. She walks all the way to one end of the counter, then comes back to nudge at Alex's hand like 'okay I saw it. now pet me again.' Meanwhile, Faye has found yogurt. Which is good because it doesn't involve her actually cooking anything. So I guess she found culture after all..........

Not that she even gets her own nerdy joke.]

Looks like you've made a friend. [she gestures to her familiar who is more interested in him than her right now.]

[ambitionist]

Apparently. [he scrunches his nose like someone who tries s-so hard not to be a cat person but is actually a cat person. whoopsie fucking daisies. but he pets her, so there.]

[reallywicked]

[Faye can't help but grin around her spoon.]

Ever have any pets?

[ambitionist]

Nah. Well, one of my sisters had a guinea pig when we were kids, that was sort of all ours. But once I moved out, ... I dunno, I was never home that much. I didn't want to be responsible for another living creature that I'd probably end up neglecting.

[reallywicked]

And now you're here to try to keep the world a safer place. Seems times are changing. Maybe you should get a goldfish.

[ambitionist]

Nah, I'd get something badass. Like a shark. [WOULD YOU REALLY, ALEXANDER? REALLY????]

[reallywicked]

[Playful eyeroll in his direction, tbh.]

A shark? Really? What would you name it?
