[ 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.]

They remind you of being a cat. [sorry lila, it's not just something he can turn off! the words come out in his usual blunt little will graham way.]

[bittersweeter]

Look at that FBI profiling at work.

[mydesigns]

Sorry. My brain doesn't have an off-switch. And only rarely does my mouth.

[bittersweeter]

If it bothers me, I won't be that subtle. [ therefore, carry on. ] I was just judging your skills, it's not a hard leap to make.

[mydesigns]

Going for the low-hanging fruit isn't impressive. It just means I can think.

[bittersweeter]

You'd be surprised around here, most people don't. [ shes got her judgy pants on today. judgy skirt?? it doesn't sound right. w/e she is still petting the dog she has. that's still happening. ]

[mydesigns]

[and chuck is still licking her face. he's precious and likes the attention.] Maybe I should be looking somewhere else to try out the telepathy, then.

[bittersweeter]

Or alternately, idiots offer less resistance. [ shrug. ] Strictly speaking we're not supposed to use our abilities on other Knights without their permission though. [ oh well. ] You should try a bar. Equal lack of resistance.

[mydesigns]

I'll think about it. [he goes back into his weird little shell, despite how he has seemed to be easing out. /groundhog??] It's not — I wasn't serious.

[bittersweeter]

[ lila don' care. he can be a turtle. she shrugs. ] Your perogative.

[mydesigns]

Thanks. For trying to help.

[bittersweeter]

I'm very helpful.

[ hahahahahahahaha. ]

[mydesigns]

I've noticed. [lemon is watching chuck get all this attention from lila and getting jealous as fuq, so he climbs up into will's lap. even tho he's a medium-sized dog and not exactly lap material. he's just like LOVE ME DADDY >:( and will ... lets him. /possibly bad dog parent.]

[bittersweeter]

[ she hums, continuing to make chuck love her more than anyone else because she is that person, smiling at lemon's antics because it reminds her of nap time with lemon and lila. lemon is a gr8 lap dog.

apropos of literally nothing: ] Did you know that men grow beards faster when they're anticipating sex?

[ LOOKING AT YOU, GABRIEL GRAY. also at you, will graham with yo manly lumberjack beard. ]

[mydesigns]

[will just looks at lila like werwatey??????? while absently petting lemon.] No, I can't say I've ever heard that before.

[bittersweeter]

Mhmm. Steve Jones wrote a book about it. Apparently anticipation of sex increases the release of androgen which increases the rate at which facial hair grows in men.

[ the more you know. if you never slept, you would know useless shit like this too. ] Sorta makes you wonder, doesn't it? [ her eyes pointedly drift to his scuffy jawline. ]

[mydesigns]

... No. It doesn't.

[WHERE ARE YOU CHRIS HANSEN???]

[bittersweeter]

Professional curiosity, don't worry. I know my boyfriend thinks about sex all the time, I can't ask him if it's true.

[mydesigns]

You've been inside my dreams, I think you would know.

[bittersweeter]

You haven't had many sex dreams lately. [ thankfully. his happy place involves abigail so... ] I mean, I can arrange that if you'd like.

[mydesigns]

No thank you. [maybe he's still mourning alana ok. and all the sex from her his d never got. :C ]

[bittersweeter]

Well, now if you have a sex dream, it wasn't me. So don't blame me. That'll be entirely your brain and the Baader-Meinhof Phenomenon.

[ FOR THE RECORD. ]

[mydesigns]

[his knowledge: behavioral sci check was like 19 so i guess he got the reference? cool.] I'll keep it in mind. [still so dismissive.]

[bittersweeter]

[ snort. that was a good accidental joke. a+. she's pretty much dunzo with the conversation bc idk its run its course and she's very tired and tired of being personable, but

doggie.

so she just attends to chuck like a good dog aunt. ]

[mydesigns]

[well she can play with chuck (and lemon and sookie) 5eva while he reads. and everyone lived happily ever after. the end.]
