[ The castle can be a happening place, even on more mundane days. This log is for random interactions over the course of the first half of the month.    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.]

Don't worry about it. [Stiles catches hold of Lydia's suitcase and walks the bags to the car, waiting for the trunk to be unlocked before tossing everything in there.]

That's why Wynn pays us the big bucks. So we can... go to concerts, I guess.

[So super awkward. Whoops. Adam, why did you think letting him talk would ever be a good idea?]

[immuno]

Why would we buy our own tickets, anyway?

[ Lydia looks absolutely baffled by the very notion. ]

I just put it on the credit card.

[ She's climbin' in the driver's seat out of sheer force of habit. ]

[killingtodeath]

[Stiles will just take the opportunity to grab Adam while people are getting in the car.]

I don't know if this is such a great idea, dude.

[ex_psionic439]

[He is just going to give Lydia a look like guuurl, before Stiles like pulls him aside and starts falling apart like he needs to be slapped across the face to regain his senses or whatever. Fortunately for Stiles, Adam just settles for staring at him like he's crazy.]

Uh, why the fuck not?

[pathology]

[astrid lingers behind, invested in this drama now bc wtf.] Oh my god, I get it. He's Parent Trapping you. That's so cute.

[killingtodeath]

[Stiles shushes Astrid because he... doesn't know better.]

He's not- I just... I don't have a good feeling about it.

[He's neeeervous.]

[immuno]

[ Good thing you bitches are having this talk at the trunk while Lydia's getting herself comfortable in the driver's seat, or she'd be hearing Miss Tactless over here. ]

[ex_psionic439]

[Slow blink @ Stiles. Yeah that's about all the pep talk this bitch is getting at this point, before Adam just climbs into the car.

Did he really just set this whole thing up for you to bitch out like wow. What a slap in the face. Is this how Lydia feels??]

[killingtodeath]

[Stiles sort of flounders out by the trunk for a few extra seconds and then just says fuck it. Actually he does say fuck it.]

Fuck it.

[See?

Assuming that Astrid and Adam are gonna cuddle in the back and make out or something, he just goes up to grab shot gun and tries not to be terrible awkward. He got a 15 cha check to be a normal, social human being so I guess he doesn't look like he might serial murder her. Yay.]

[ Lydia glances sidelong at Stiles as she finishes synching her phone to the bluetooth. With the music playing, she puts the car in drive and starts off, seating arrangements decided and doors closed (drive 14). She’s been to Heathrow before so ain’t nobody making a navigate check. ]

Just how last-minute was this? [ It’s not necessarily judgy, but he hadn’t mentioned coming the last time it came up. ]

[ex_psionic439]

[For the love of Christ, don't say anything, Stiles.]

Very.

[pathology]

[astrid's just gonna sit here in the back cozied up to adam and playing candy crush and not being invested in this drama at all n o p e.]

[killingtodeath]

[Stiles manages to get his shit together and remember that he's really good at bullshitting.]

Adam had another of his musical Tourette's moments and tried to make me do the Single Ladies dance with him. I figured watching him do it in public might be even funnier [Bluff 26 or maybe that really happened man. It seems possible.]

[immuno]

[ Though Lydia purses her lips and cocks her head slightly, her eyes never leave the road, and she seems to accept the lie. ]

Well, I hope you bought your ticket already because we are not waiting forty minutes at the door for you to haggle with a scalper.

[killingtodeath]

All taken care of. [He just had to pay way more to get a ticket so late BUT HE'S GOOD OKAY.]

[pathology]

So you guys just got here, right? How are you liking it? [tries to help with the parent trapping by making them talk about things that aren't lydia bitching at stiles????? the things she does for u, adam.]

[immuno]

At the beginning of summer.

[ Which, ftr, is that preteen bitchy voice of i'M NOT TOO YOUNG YOU'RE JUST TOO OLD. But she leaves it at a blithe correction. ]

And inter-dimensional kidnapping isn't my vacation of choice. Wynn's been great, but some of the others knights leave a lot to be desired.

[pathology]

Like who? [/drawn to gossip like a shark to blood.....]

[killingtodeath]

Yeah, like who? [Stiles has had basically all gr9 experiences with the other knights. He's just still butthurt about Jackson but he can't imagine Lydia means that.

That would be awesome though.]

[ex_psionic439]

[Adam sits forward like yeah, dish the deets gurl. Because, like Astrid, he was suddenly interested in this conversation. Congratulations, Lydia, you had the whole car waiting on a bitch hanging on your every word. What a bunch of trash talking sluts.]

[immuno]

There's a knight named Sir Spike whose hair looks like Justin Timberlake in 1998. Helen is, like, trying to adopt a hundred and one dalmatians in the form of teenage squires. Sir Solace and Hasmed are like crotchety losers who can't accept that they're past their prime, and Ric spends most of his time drinking because I guess he used to know the doppelganger.

[pathology]

Solace isn't that bad. He just has resting bitch face. [/DEFENSIVE OF HER SECTION HEAD. bitching about everyone else is fine tho.]

[killingtodeath]

[Twisting around in his seat, Stiles grins at Adam.]

Maybe that Spike guy will join your boy band.

[ex_psionic439]

The guy's name is Spike.

[Like he was pointing out the obvious flaws in that logic.]

Besides, I'm more of a solo act.

[I'm the only Justin Timberlake up in this bitch basically.]

[pathology]

You should get Finnick Odair. Did you know he's a Knight? He's in the Light wing like, all the time trying to bone that one girl.
