[ 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.]

Let's not test that theory.

[ It sounds dangerous, ok. ]

[bittersweeter]

I could probably do fifteen, twenty. Eight pounds of barely mobile kitten me doesn't exactly have the same wherewithal for blowback that actual person me has. [ a beat. ] But I'm not gonna, don't worry.

[uncurse]

Guess I'll have to take your word for it.

[ Which would be funny and light if it weren't for Emma's chronic trust issues. Given those, it's surprising. ]

[bittersweeter]

[ lila glances over at emma without saying a word. abruptly, awkwardly, she nods. ]

Did you get a chance to watch Orange is the New Black before you left? [ netflix, basically, is what she is getting back to. ]

[uncurse]

They made more of that?

[ So, no. Pop culture 18, though: she totally watched season one. ]

[bittersweeter]

Season two is hysterical. Please tell me you know that you don't pee out of your vagina, right? [ JUST CHECKING. ]

[uncurse]

I ... Yeah, I'm aware.

[ WhaT THE FUCK, Lila. ]

[bittersweeter]

You'd be surprised. [ she starts gathering up her books and papers because yeah, she pretty much wants to start this marathon rn. ] I put a TV in Faye's room, if you want to watch it there. I have to feed Hematite and Pizza soon.

[ and lila might have been... hanging out... in faye's room. (unsure) she seems to remember suddenly that emma might need to see other people though. ] Or dinner? Also works. I'm probably late for hand to hand lessons with Eric, anyway. [ she checks her watch briefly while she hefts up her books into her arms. ] Definitely late.

[uncurse]

[ Yeah, Emma puts that together. She deflates, looking genuinely saddened by the realization that Lila’s been staying in there. Poor kid. She won’t comment on it, but there’s no doubt that she’s aware of what it means. With a brief flicker of a sympathetic smile, she moves past it. ]

Let’s wait ’til she’s back. We can all watch it in there together.

[bittersweeter]

'kay. [ she's not going to push, okay. ] I'll see you later.

[ and she hurries to leave, to take out her emotions on eric!, but she pauses at the door and looks back at emma. ]

I'm glad you're home. [ not back. home. and then bam, she sprints away. ]
