[ 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.]

That obvious, huh? [Willow looks a little sheepish, but exactly ashamed.]

So are you the... castle mechanic or something?

[whoops]

[thetokenaussie]

[She opens her mouth, like maybe she's going to console her with an; 'oh no, really! not at all' and then just, nods.]

Yeah. But don't take that in a bad way.

[Offering up a half grin.]

Yeah, something like that. Some people here are good with knives, me it's cars. [Setting said wrench down and this time, further away from the edge of the table. Learner right here.]

And you would be new? Newly returned? .... Been here for months and I haven't seen you before because I'm usually down here?

[olreliable]

I'm still pretty new. Just got squired this month. I was still... learning my way around the castle.

[thetokenaussie]

This month? [Eyebrows raising.] You ah - [She chuckles, shaking her head.] Picked an interesting time to join up. [To think, this was before the war was even announced.] Things have been getting, kind of hectic around here over the past few months.

[Words that are not comforting for new people for 100 thanks Alex...

Which she realizes and changes her tune a little.]

Still, welcome and all that. [Offering a hand.] I'm Frankie - well, Francesca but that one stays between us. [Grinning.]

[olreliable]

Willow. [She gives her name in return, shaking her hand.] Nice to meet you, Frankie. And your secret's safe with me.

So uh- cars!

[thetokenaussie]

Among other things. [Grinning wryly.] But mostly cars. I'd tell you it's more glamorous than it is but? Not so much.

[She could crap on about cars forever but one, that's boring for people who don't like cars and two, her mun doesn't really know much about cars and googling is hard or something.]

And you? I'm thinking not cars but, I'm guessing you have a thing? Possibly many things?

[olreliable]

Books, mostly. And computers. But... not quite the ones here. I'm still kinda... catching up there.

Oh! Also demons! [Most people probably don't look... so happy about that.]
