[ 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.]

Well, I can teach you how to hold it.

[allaboutme]

What's wrong with how I hold it?

[lurings]

[ do you really want her to answer that? ]</small Everything.

[allaboutme]

Excuse you. It can't be that bad.

[lurings]

[ she lifts her eyebrows like giiiiirl, but really cordelia is right, she wasn't holding it that badly. ]

Alright, so show me.

[allaboutme]

[ cordelia's nothing if not proud, and when she has something to prove, she doesn't fuck around. that's the only way i can explain the fact that she takes careful aim and somehow gets

a nat 20 bullseye. ] See? What did I tell you?

[lurings]

[ no. ]

Now do it again.

[ calling it beginner's luck tbh. ]

[allaboutme]

What? That wasn't perfect enough for you?

[lurings]

One perfect shot isn't going to cut it in the field.

[allaboutme]

It will if it leaves the thing dead.

[lurings]

It took ten shots for the FBI to kill my dad. And they're actually trained.

[allaboutme]

Your dad? ... Wait. He wasn't a demon, was he? Because those things really seem to ignore most bullet shaped things.

[lurings]

No, he was a person. [ um, duh? ]

[allaboutme]

So what was he? Like some of underworld criminal kingpin guy?

[lurings]

[ mrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrh. she regrets snapping now that she actually has to keep... explaining. ]

He was a serial killer.

[allaboutme]

Wait. Seriously?

[lurings]

[ her lips purse. ]

No, I made it up. Yes, I'm serious, why would I make that up?

[allaboutme]

I don't know, why would you just drop that in casual conversation?

[lurings]

Because you weren't listening and it's going to get you killed. [ duh. ]

[allaboutme]

Hey, those two things are mutually exclusive.

[lurings]

Not when it comes to this. You need to be able to shoot something until it drops and won't get back up again and one shot might not do it.

[ she's being firm because she cares, cordelia. and not because she's thin and has brown hair and is roughly the same age as abigail. no, nothing to do with that. nope. ]

[allaboutme]

Ok, ok, I get it without the lecture. [ she sounds huffy but not really annoyed, and lines up the gun again before firing off two shots (atk 17; atk 20), both of which hit ]

[lurings]

Better. [ this time she does tone down the scolding to make it sound complimentary. ]

[allaboutme]

My cheer coach always said I was a quick learner.

[lurings]

You were a cheerleader? [ she sounds surprised. idiot. ]
