[ 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.]

[in what apparently is going to be a line of ppl not noticing bambi when they first come in the kitchen bcuz they're beelining for the fridge, here is will graham. staring into it for a long time. a really long time. like wtf are you doing sir.]

[theshameofcain]

Is it staring back into you yet?

[Bambi doesn't even look up. She is just aware that this room is now 10% colder than it was before this bitch showed up.]

[mydesigns]

I ... forgot what I came for. [alzheimer's???? encephalitis???? cannibalism?????]

[theshameofcain]

Happens to the best of us.

[She looks up and oh hey!] Oh hey, Dog-Guy.

[mydesigns]

Will. [he closes the fridge. :( he didn't want to eat anyway.] You know, I don't think I ever got your name. [he remembers her as "girl who didn't like dogs and tells creepy stories."]

[theshameofcain]

You didn't or you would've remembered. [She drums her pen against her notebook.] It's Bambi.

[mydesigns]

Bambi. Got it. [he's so neutral about it. doesn't even laugh at her disney princess name. what an a+ guy.] Oh, I remember now. Did you see a Chinese takeout box in the fridge?

[theshameofcain]

[She gives Will the most dead-eyes stare. Don't talk to her about Astrid.] Nazi Germany invaded that fridge and went all Poland on your takeout.

[mydesigns]

... What? [werwatey?????]

[theshameofcain]

Astrid stole your food.

[There you go.]

[mydesigns]

Who's Astrid? [what a dangerous question to ask her number one fan....]

[theshameofcain]

She's a ginger harpy that will suck all the joy from your life.

[Astrid has done nothing to deserve this title, but Bambi is a child about some things.] She's in the Dragon's Light.

[mydesigns]

[in a wry tone] She already sucked the Chinese food out of it. One of the hazards of living with so many other people, I guess.

[theshameofcain]

No one understands the sanctity of writing your name on something. Also it's probably a sign we should all invest in mini-fridges like we're in college.

[mydesigns]

Probably. [sigh. maybe he'll just ... make ramen. i.e., put a cup o noodles in the microwave. so he does that. it's definitely not going to be his chinese food tho :( ] It used to happen a lot when I lived in the Shadowkind shelter. I always just figured, whoever took the food must have needed it more than I did. [<- bleeding heart sap of an empath]

[theshameofcain]

[Bambi makes a face.] Wow. That is the attitude of someone who will always lose their food. Now and forever. Just put "free for all" on that ramen, bro.

[mydesigns]

I'm about to eat the ramen now, so ... I don't really see that problem occurring again. [ the point bambi is trying to make . <-------------------------> . will graham ]

[theshameofcain]

[:|] My point, Dog Whisperer, is that you are a delicate flower, and if someone strolled through that door with a desperate craving for ramen, you'd probably hand over that cup of noodles, no questions asked.

[mydesigns]

I would if they needed it. [so yeah ... probably.]

[theshameofcain]

If this were the animal kingdom, you would have starved to death.

[mydesigns]

I didn't know ramen was one of the food groups out in the Serengeti. [now he might just be being obtuse to be a dick.]

[theshameofcain]

Maybe zebras go to college too. You don't know what goes on out there. [She raises an eyebrow.] I'm just saying, it wouldn't kill you to be a little more assertive.

[mydesigns]

I guess you have a point. [which is to say ... ur right.] I'll work on it. I've just never been the assertive type. Probably part of why I made such a bad cop.

[theshameofcain]

You were a cop? [She balks.] With what? The K9 Unit?

[mydesigns]

Homicide.
