[ 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.]

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.

[graveflowers]

[ hrmph. she makes a disappointed pouty face. ]

Has to be the elf progeny.

[mydesigns]

I don't know too much about pregnancy, either.

[graveflowers]

Well. [ huff. ] You're useless.

[ it's not... said unkindly??? she's just vi. and has no filter/fucks. ]

[mydesigns]

Sorry. [said in a bland, short tone that doesn't actually ... imply much sorriness.]

[graveflowers]

[ yeah that's right up vi's alley okay. she feels you, will. speaking of... ]

So who are you, anyway?

[ r u d e, thy name is violet. ]

[mydesigns]

Will. Will Graham.

[graveflowers]

Violet Fi-- Reedhym. [ she flutters her fingers and a small purple flower grows out of the open pages of his book. ~magic. that'll totally cover her misstep, yep. ] Like the flower.

[mydesigns]

[he takes note of the misstep ... but doesn't draw attention to it. a+ will graham what a bro.] Have you always been able to do that?

[graveflowers]

As long as I can remember. [ shruuuuuuuuuuuuug. ]

[mydesigns]

I was just wondering if that was how they named you.

[graveflowers]

I dunno, I never asked her. I sort of assumed it was just because it's a flower and my mom really likes flowers. I coulda been any flower name, I suppose. Daisy. [ a daisy sprouts to join the violet. the book is unharmed, fyi. ] Rose. [ a primrose sprouts. ] Bryony, Heather, Jasmine, Lily, Bluebell, Ianthe, Poppy. [ yes, will now has a bundle of wildflowers, one for each flower she mentioned. she's not even doing it on purpose, really, it's just instinctive. ]

[mydesigns]

Clover. Dahlia. Lavender. [just ... trying to help????]

[graveflowers]

[ she smiles a little and will gets those flowers too. ]

Exactly.
