[ 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.]

Yeah, well, I couldn't have stopped your nightmare if it didn't, so instead you were like Lonely Island, on a boat, with Alex's little friend. [ you're welcome. ]

[he squints like wtf; it takes him a minute.] Abigail?

Yeah, little brunette thing, looks downright charming dolled up in fishing gear and at you like you hung the moon and the stars. [ is that true when he is not sleeping is what she seems to be getting at without even getting at it. ]

[he glances down, a little sheepish.] I'm her legal guardian.

Cute. [ she doesn't press further because alex explained enough. ] I didn't watch that part. Your happy place is undisturbed.

My happy place isn't the one that anyone gives a damn about. ... You're fine.

Nyet. [ she shakes her head. ] Dreams are how we accept the world and things we can't change. Your dreams are important even if I'm the only one that knows what they are. Your happy place is with a girl who is comfortable enough not to wear a scarf when she's with you. [ she taps her throat with her index finger. ] That matters, trust me.

[ giving lemon a little nudge, she starts attempting to get up. ]

You shouldn't say that you didn't watch after you ask about the things you saw. [he half-smiles, though, so he's probably not that bothered.] You were the cat. [wis 22]

Okay, so I watched a little. [ standing up, sorry lemon, no more dwarven for you. :( she grabs her empty cup from the side table, twisting the headphone cord around her tablet. it takes her a second to confirm his second comment. ] I was the cat.

[lemon hops out of the chair and watches her like "why stranger go away :(" ] You know how black cats are supposed to be bad luck? They actually believe the opposite in England and Ireland. Think it's white cats.

I walked people to their deaths with my little cat paws, I can see why white cats are bad omens. [ she crouches to pet lemon again, SHE IS VERY FOND OF THIS DOGGIE. ]

[chuck and sookie decide to stop being lazy bitches and investigate lila now that she's giving lemon attention.]

Sleepwalking? [wis 23. will probably seems ... more unsettled by this than the average person. lila already has a good clue as to why.]

Mhmm. [ fine doges, she will put her shit down to pet you all. ] Little tap on their forehead and they'd walk out in their pjs to where my cousin and Cassel were waiting outside. Cassel would turn them into something, which effectively killed them, and then Barron would wipe his memory while Anton put me back in the cage. Not a bad system, really. [ except for the cat in a cage part. ]

Doesn't sound like a good system for you. [of course will notices. he cares more about animals than people. even when the cat is actually a people too.]

That wasn't really Anton's problem. [ and that is why anton is dead. sux 2 b u. ]

... Were you really a cat?

For three years. [ yes hello doggies you are so interesting. ]

Oh.

[yeah it's too early for him to process that shit beyond wow that's fucked up.]

Anyway. I won't need to peek anymore, I can just touch you before you go to bed now. [ she straightens up again, giving the dogs a couple last pets. ] So. Enjoy you future nightmare free sleep.

That doesn't ... bother you?

What?

The coming into my room every night.

[ she shrugs. ] Your brain will teach itself to block the nightmares out eventually. It's not going to last forever. And ten minutes to help you sleep isn't a big deal.

[shrug.] If it doesn't bother you. I have my doubts about my brain teaching itself to block out nightmares, though.

Alright, fine, your brain will teach itself to accept the nightmares.
