[ 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's a nice way of looking at things. Wish I could think it myself, but I've seen too much darkness.

[silvermaid]

I've seen my share of it myself. Enough that sometimes it was hard to see the light. But things have always turned around.

[mydesigns]

Sometimes I'm not sure if I can trust the light. I could be seeing the sun, or I could be a moth flying into a bug zapper.

[heavensend]

I take it that's the voice of experience talking, not just baseless paranoia.

[mydesigns]

I've been zapped more than I'd like to remember. Probably more than I actually can remember.

[silvermaid]

The Veil, you mean. You think it's taken more from you than you realize?

[mydesigns]

I have — there are huge gaps that I do know are missing. Which only makes me wonder more about the little things. What could have slipped under my nose?

[silvermaid]

I know it's hard to not think about it, but... having come here with no memory at all, and learning later what I'd missed-- I can't say anything would have been better, knowing.

[mydesigns]

That's what I've heard. Or at least, things like that are what I've been told, to help me cope. I guess it's just in my nature to want to know. Compulsively picking at peeling paint.

[heavensend]

Maybe you'll find answers some day as well, then. It happened for me. I'm the last person to tell you it's impossible for you.

[mydesigns]

I just hope they're answers I'll actually want. [and not ... more of that jacked up shit abigail tried to share with him. L M A O will your life is nothing but disappointment.....]

[silvermaid]

If they're not, maybe there's some small comfort to be taken in knowing you're a world away from that life.

[mydesigns]

Doesn't seem like much, but then I guess small comforts are all that we have sometimes.

[silvermaid]

[ anastacia shifts her focus to the dog, smiling at it ] Sometimes they're enough, wouldn't you say?

[mydesigns]

You have a point there.
