[ 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.]

There were some giant spiders on a mission. Just covering my bases in case there's more.

[awkward pause.] But man if they can conduct electricity through their webs and you used a taser on them....

[THAT SOUNDS LIKE SOMEONE'S GONNA HAVE A BAD TIME....]

That's not an experiment I'd like to be on the tasing end of.

yeah, me either. Webs are bad enough without adding electrocution to it. [She clicks her tongue.] Hell of a way to go.

Are you speaking from experience?

[She flails her hands desperately.] Spiders in a bookstore! Spiders and shit creatures! Two things that should never be in bookstores.

[WERWATEY??????]

Oh.

Basically.

[She hrmphs.] Have you been on any missions?

Not quite. I've been helping Wynn with briefings, but I haven't been out in the field yet.

That sounds all... official. [She leans forward and looks at him with big eyes. ELABORATE PLS???]

[he stares at her like wtf child. maybe that's just his default expression tho. we just don't know.] I'm a profiler. I've been compiling profiles.

[Wow you just became 75% cooler in her eyes. THIS IS SO MUCH BETTER THAN BEING THE HOMELESS LOOKING GUY WHO LOVES DOGS AND COULDN'T STOMACH BEING A COP???]

That is official. [she leans back, but still clearly fascinated.] How's that working out for you cross-species? [She drums her pen on her paper.] I mean you can't profile a drow like you profile a human.

It's do-able. I've been doing it. The array of variables you have to take into consideration just becomes wider. I don't operate much like other profilers, anyway. [BECAUSE HE'S AN EMPATH. YOU HAVE THE PUZZLE PIECES, BAMBI. PUT THEM TOGETHER. BE A SMART HERO.]

[Wow her wisdom score was really shitty, okay. Leave her alone.]

Right, right. You don't give off that gruff Criminal Minds vibe.

I'm afraid to ask what kind of vibe I do give off. [last time he asked that question, archer told him he reminded him of an owl.]

You look like a librarian from North Dakota.

A librarian from North Dakota?

[/repeats it to make it more real i guess...]

Do you like "academic mountain man" better?

I've never been much for the mountains. Harder to fish there.

[/doesn't make it better]

But you are one with the wilderness. It's the beard and the whole earth tones and plaid and flannel thing, but you've also got this scholarly look that says "I make my own fishhooks."

[She rolled a 24 wis check, so I guess... that's what you get.]

[L M A O BAMBI. idk at least will seems kind of amused too???]

Lures. I make fishing lures.

We don't do a lot of fishing in Philly.

[Shruuug. But she looks so smug that she was close.]

Why not? You've got the Delaware River, and you're not that far out from the ocean. [he lets a pause go by before he decides to clarify] I used to live in the DC-Baltimore area.

Because I'm from a family of upper middle class doctors and librarians who find the outdoors offensive to our pasty complexions and hate the way the sun reflects off our glasses.

[Not that Bambi wears glasses... anymore. His mention of DC makes her laugh, though.]

No shit? My mom's from DC. Apparently, the only thing that could drag her away from drooling on the lawn of the Library of Congress was a hot pediatrician from Pennsylvania.

I was from ... all over. Never really stayed in one place too long. My dad repaired boat motors. Just ended up settling outside DC.

What about your mom?

[Yeah, Bambi has Mommy Issues. It's a terrible problem.]
