[ 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.]

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?

[immuno]

When did you get stabbed?

[killingtodeath]

Taradiddle. Weird name. Weird little hobbit girl. Anyway. She said she needed to practice doing healing spells so she needed someone to be injured. So she injured me.

[pathology]

I went on a mission with her! God, she's so fucking weird. Why can't she just wait for people to filter in from the training room like a normal person?

[immuno]

Just how many psychopaths did Wynn bring in to this Knighthood?

[pathology]

Like, a million, I guess. Sometimes it feels like we're in Wynn's home for wayward teens and sociopaths.

[killingtodeath]

Sometimes both.

[Jackson Jackson Jackson

Okay he's not a psychopath all the time. Just an asshole.]

You're an actual knight, right Astrid? So it's got to have some perks or you wouldn't hang around.

[pathology]

Mmhmmm. [/preens. so proud of herself. the only actual knight in this vehicle.] Unlimited credit card that you get to spend on whatever you want as long as you're not spending enough to freak out the auditors, the actual pay is okay, and I get to do my life's dream. It's pretty cool. It kind of reminds me of college, only forever.

[immuno]

Your life's dream?

[ Look she actually knows how to socialize and take interest in other people. Merit badge? ]

[pathology]

Being a doctor! I wish there were more opportunities for surgery, though. I love surgery. But no, here it's mostly stitching up battle wounds and whatever. But you take what you can get.
