[ 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.]

[HOW DID SHE TRIP UNDER THEM WHEN THEY'RE UNDER THE TABLE??? that's talent, vi. idk maybe sookie has a long tail. anyway, will is totally bewildered by this sudden turn of events and stares at vi until he can find his words and ask] Are you okay?

[graveflowers]

[ lbr she just tripped because she's a fucking super klutz and the dogs were nearby so let's blame them. GUILT BY ASSOCIATION. they are on the floor, it's the floor's fault, ipso facto... the dogs did it. :) ]

Huh? [ she looks at him as she gathers the sleeve of her sweatshirt and holds it to her bloody lip. she's not used to people asking about her health instead of her mental well being. this is new and unusual. ] Yeah, I'm fine. Floor totally moved. [ nod nod. ]

[mydesigns]

[yeah vi don't think that bloody lip is getting past him. (spot ... 50 million too tired to math ok.)] I, uh, do you need someone to walk you to the med center?

[he doesn't think ur clumsy ass is going to make it in one piece. true stories.]

[graveflowers]

[ her head shakes, eyes darting down for a split second. ] Naw, it's fine, it'll stop bleeding soon. [ its somewhat muffled but clear enough. ] Can't remember why the fuck I came to the library though. Can't even fucking read. [ her eyebrows furrow as she looks around. WHY AM I HERE. ]

[mydesigns]

[his eyebrows raise a little. this child????? can she really not read???] Were you looking for someone? Or someplace else?

[graveflowers]

No...? [ idk how is girl is so helpless. maybe she has brain damage!! ] I'm pretty sure I came to the library for a reason. Maybe...

[mydesigns]

I could try to help you, if you can remember anything.

[graveflowers]

Oh! What do you know about elves? [ she sits, bc she really should be, and with her fist still pressed to her lip she looks a little like chinhands. ] My normal go to elf guy is dead.

[mydesigns]

[in my hall of fame of fucking pointless nat 20s, his arcane lore check for elves was a nat 20. HE FUCKING LOVED LORD OF THE RINGS OKAY. A LOT. or, you know] A bit. I lived with a few when I was in Atlanta. Why?

[graveflowers]

[ wow this is not pointless this is very pointed, vi needs HALP. ] Have you ever heard of them, like, sensing nature spirits?

[ /blames her own abilities on the baby whoops. LUTHIR IS NOT HERE TO GUIDE HER OKAY SHE NEEDS A GUIDE. GOD FUCK YOU FOR LEAVING LEGOLAS. ]

[mydesigns]

[he quirks an eyebrow.] If they did, it wasn't something they discussed with me. Why?

[graveflowers]

Because I'm seeing them everywhere. [ but vi... you're not an elf. ]

[mydesigns]

[yeah his spot to notice that she doesn't have pointy ears was ... a whole fucking lot, lol.] I don't see how that's relevant.

[graveflowers]

Of course you don't. [ huff huff. crappy replacement knowledge pool. she should just ask gar.

but that would involve telling gar.

nope. ] Have you ever heard of people seeing spirits, like, ever?

[mydesigns]

When you say spirits, what do you mean?

[graveflowers]

I mean like fucking nature spirits, just everywhere. Doing stuff. Existing. All the time. Always. Everywhere. Not ghosts or anything, I'm not being stalked by like the ghost of Christmas Past or whatever.

[mydesigns]

[this arcane lore check was only 10. bless.] Like a shaman?

[graveflowers]

[well hers was.... let's not talk about it. ]

A what now?

[mydesigns]

A shaman.

[/repeats it like she will suddenly understand with this brand new context!!!111]

[graveflowers]

That was illuminating. [ sir. ] What's a shaman?

[mydesigns]

Someone who communes with nature. [helpful.jpg.]

[graveflowers]

Like a druid? Nah, I asked Gus, he didn't know anything. Useless cow.

[mydesigns]

[idr my actual roll for this anymore but i know i rolled for it at some point and it wasn't shitty so. will graham knows a thing.] Shamans and druids aren't the same, though. Shamans commune with nature spirits, and druids ... I guess it's more like they commune with the earth itself. But, uh, don't quote me or anything.

[graveflowers]

Do you have to apply to be a shaman because I never put in my application. It just... started happening. And it's super distracting and annoying and then need to leave me alone.

[mydesigns]

I ... would not even begin to know how to help with that.
