[ 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.]

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. ]

[allaboutme]

Why are you making that surprised face?

[lurings]

[ because abigail is one of those girls that cheerleaders didn't get along with and thought was weird. this is why marissa was her best friend, she needed someone to protect her from those girls. ]

I don't know, I just thought... [ she shakes her head. ] You're nice.

[allaboutme]

Nice? [ her eyebrows climb up to her hairline, and she looks almost confused, although not offended. just... kind of shocked. it's not a word that people apply to her often. ] Oh, sweetie, I can be the Queen Bitch, believe me.

But only to people who deserve it. [ to punctuate that, she takes one more hilariously good shot (atk 19) ...unsure... ]

[lurings]

[ to be fair, abigail's idea of nice is horribly skewed. ]

Hopefully you don't shoot them now too.

[ because cordy went from crap to holy crap in like five minutes. ]

[allaboutme]

I tend to find a well defined insult is better at cutting down my enemies.

[lurings]

I haven't really learned that art.

[allaboutme]

Well, if you ever want to learn at the foot of the master...

[lurings]

I'll let you know. [ she smiles a little, before she moves to duck out. ] Good luck. Keep up the practice.

[allaboutme]

See ya.
