[ 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.]

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.]

[untethered]

Personally, I think the ridges on his nose start to stand on end.

[reallywicked]

That's disgusting. [Said with a laugh.] So do you have any magic or powers or..?

[untethered]

I have these. [ she gestures with her head towards the gigantic stacks ] I've rarely found them not to hold the solution I'm looking for.

[reallywicked]

[Faye just wrinkles her nose at that.]

Yeah, no thanks to that.

[untethered]

I suppose they're not everyone's cup of tea.

[reallywicked]

From what I hear, some of the mages are stuck with them? Like that's the only way they can work spells is if they read about them.

[untethered]

Yes, but there's very little they can't do, if they have the right book. Their magic has few limits.

[reallywicked]

Really? But you still have to build up to it, right? [Suddenly doubting if she is doing this magic thing right. Can she just read a book and skip ahead a few chapters?? Because if so, give her all the books please.]

[untethered]

It's always possible to try casting more powerful spells, but it's also more dangerous, when one isn't sure what they're doing.

[reallywicked]

Danger can be fun, though. [She gives a little smile.] So long as it doesn't get you killed.

[untethered]

Or anyone else.

[reallywicked]

Okay fine I guess them too. Sure. [So convincing.] How long have you been a knight anyway?

[untethered]

A couple years now. It feels like much longer, honestly.

[reallywicked]

Probably because you've spent the whole time in here. [Not a fan of books oops. She prefers action.]

[untethered]

Just because it's where I prefer to train doesn't mean I haven't seen my share of real adventures.

[reallywicked]

Oh yeah? Got any good stories? [Any excuse to avoid studying at this point.]
