[ 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.]

[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.

[immuno]

Who's Finnick Odair?

[ He stopped making music before they came through the Veil, ok. ]

[pathology]

Uh ... a pop star? [said like uhhh why don't you know this??? her pop culture check was really high (unsure)] He dated Taylor Swift for awhile, and then I guess he retired from music after the concert where what's her face got shot to join the Knights. I mean, it's not really my kind of music, but it's cool that he's like, around, you know?

[ex_psionic439]

[Wow what part of solo act did he fucking stutter tho.]

I'm not trying to be that guy's reason for a second come up.

[Adam isn't an alien and he knows his shit (pop culture: nat 20).]

And don't think you're getting out of the Single Ladies dance.

[killingtodeath]

[Glancing at Lydia, Stiles shrugs.] Actually, I have some of his music on my phone, if you want to hear it.

[Look, he caught up on the music scene really fast. A previously established pop culture check proved that Stiles is a big Finnick fan.]

[immuno]

[ She considers him with an inscrutable expression for a moment, then finally reaches forward into the console to grab the aux cable and hand it over to him. Looks like he made himself worth something on this trip after all. ]

What kind of guy gives up celebrity for Knighthood?

[pathology]

Well, he really wants to bone one of the clerics ...

[killingtodeath]

[Stiles puts on one of Finnick's songs. I'm too lazy to go check what he sang at the concert.]

What makes you think he isn't already?

[pathology]

[ here picks a song for u]

No, he totally is. I'm just saying, his continued desire to bone her is probably why he sticks around.

[/so much faith in love over here]

[immuno]

[ Oh hey this is actually pretty good. Lydia isn't quite rocking out, but she's pretty intently listening and pulling together a judgment instead of considering Finnick's sex life. Probably only because she doesn't know what he looks like. ]

[killingtodeath]

So besides keeping tabs on your sect-mates, how is it over there? Actually- before you answer that, can you tell me something? Do clerics need to stab people to practice their magic? Because if not, we need to inform Wynn that one of his squires is actually a serial killer in training.

[pathology]

Um, well, I'm like, the only actual medic as opposed to a cleric who's actually around right now, so sometimes I feel the racism? Sectism? Whatever. People are bitches. But I'm pretty sure I'm actually Solace's favorite because I'm amazing. ... Wait, a cleric stabbed you? Who?
