WHO || Everyone! [ota]
WHAT || Shenanigans.
WHERE || Anywhere in the castle, surrounding environs, London, Andres Isle, etc!
WHEN || October
HOW || Actionspam

[ 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.

Also, following the promotion and squiring parties at the beginning of the month, Wynn will be taking any willing Knights back to Andres Isle to further reconstruction efforts there.   There's plenty to be done - and an election to gear up for, to find out who will rule Andres Isle!

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.]

[littledhampir]

And I'd have been running right along with Ella. [IDEK. Makes a name up.]

[likedillinger]

Didn't realize you were into workin' with kids. [ a beat, and then he smirks. ] And you can save the cracks about how you put up with me.

[littledhampir]

Dammit. [Foiled her comeback.] And I'm... not, exactly. [Her gaze shifts back to the spot where Ella had just disappeared.] I don't know she was just, around. Figured it couldn't hurt to show her a few things.

[likedillinger]

Well now that she's not so around, maybe you could show me a few things.

[littledhampir]

[She could have bombed that sense motive (23) and still known he was not talking about fighting.]

Yeah? [Eyebrows raised, Rose fighting her smile as she both arms come to hang loosely around his shoulders.] That could maybe be arranged...

[So of course she bombs her Will Save instead, Rose rising up onto the balls of her feet and she leans in, tongue teasing his lower lip as Ella becomes very much forgotten.]

[likedillinger]

[ sjfkaf i don't even have to tell you what i rolled. you can guess.

his hands slide around her, drawing her closer as he sinks into a kiss with complete disregard for this whole... being in public thing. ] Must be payback for those pool lessons.

[littledhampir]

[jhbhkv And nobody was shocked.

Her arms tighten around him, body flush against his as Rose lacks both the desire to hold back and the sense to move this elsewhere.] I like how this payback still sees me win. [Smiling as her lips brush his before she's capturing his mouth again, seemingly trying to make him forget about the ass-kicking she gave him at pool with one hell of a kiss (Dex 21).]

[likedillinger]

[ yes good. but eventually, his bigger brain kicks in, and he breaks away enough to nod back at the castle. ] Maybe not around the G-rated squad.

[littledhampir]

[With a low groan of protest, she leans back enough to scan his face, grip loosening, but only just a little.]

When did you become the responsible one, huh? [A light teasing to her tone as she composes herself.]

[likedillinger]

Just don't go spreading that around. [ smirkity smirk smirk. as they start back that away, he glances around to make sure no one's nearby before digging inside his jacket pocket ] Speaking of responsible-- [ and he glances in there, half pulling out a condom to make sure he has one, before patting the pocket, satisfied. this time. he's laughing at sam somewhere across the game rn. ]

[littledhampir]

Wouldn't dream of it. [Lying liar who lies. As he rifles through his pocket Rose clocks the condom (Spot 31) but her face is the picture of stupidity confusion as she not only fails to make any connection to that and being responsible, but the whole, time when they weren't. (Hahah ahahha. Wis Crit Fail).]

You know I'm only sleeping with you, right? [Yes Rose. That's what he's worried about. Vampire Aids.]

[likedillinger]

Well, I'd been hopeful, but thanks for the update. [ playful sarcasm aside: ] I didn't figure you were on the pill or anything.

[littledhampir]

Shut-up. [His playful sarcasm still earns him a light dig at his side, despite her smile. For a moment however, it's touch and go as to whether Rose even knows what that is, confusion touching her features until some little spark of memory makes the slow cogs start turning in her brain and it's pretty damn clear just from looking at her right now, this is not a conversation she's ever had to have before.]

Ohhh... no? It's never really been an issue. Two Dhampir can't... Ya know. Have kids. [Still can't roll a decent Wisdom Check to save her life though.]

[likedillinger]

Yeah, but I ain't-- I mean a Dhampir and a human can still-- [ vaguest hand gestures ] Can't they?

[littledhampir]

Oh - [Pfft.] Yeah - [Wait for it....




(Wis Nat 20).]

Ohhh - [The penny doesn't drop so much as somebody upends a metaphorical bucket of them on top of her head and while Rose tries to catch herself, her feet falter, face dropping as she furiously tries to do some mental math. (WS 11).]

[likedillinger]

What's the matter? [ deer in the headlights tbh ]

[littledhampir]

Ahhh - [She looks at Dean for a long moment, mind racing as she tries to count the weeks since the day they left for Andres but the last month or so just feels like a blur and she honestly has no idea how long it's been.

There's a part of her that knows she should tell him exactly what's going through her head right now, that if anyone has a right to know there's even the slimmest of possibilities, it's him but then she thinks about Sam, about everything he's been dealing with and the last thing she wants is to add to it, to be just one more reason to stress him out when the chances of it even being...

She forces a smile into place, shaking her head and reaches out to capture his hand, leaning in to brush her lips against his cheek in an effort to be reassuring. (WS 25 - Wis Nat 20 again. IDEK. Rose Wisdom.)]

Nothing - [(Bluff 26)] I just, need to change the way I think that's all. I have't exactly been with anyone outside of - [Letting silence fill the place where she would have said Dimitri's name.] And you.

[likedillinger]

Yeah, well, I didn't exactly write the book on steady relationships, either. [ he shoves his hands in his jacket pockets as they walk along, thoughtful. ]

[littledhampir]

[She cuts him a sideways glace, trying to push the rest of it back down until she even knows if there's something to be worried about or not.]

Never been much for books anyway. [Bad jokes are just bad.] Always preferred to make things up as I go. [Trying for a half smile.]

[likedillinger]

So far, no complaints. [ lmao such a dick ]

[littledhampir]

[She manages to keep the smile in place and while she’s trying, the act of even doing so is filling her head with a constant stream of concern and doubt, Rose skipping a dozen steps in her head as the reality of what one lapse in judgment could mean. She’s never had to think about this kind of thing before and now that there’s even the remotest possibility, it’s practically all she can think about and the answers she’s coming up with in the quagmire that is her head are not the kind that make faking it easier, the mask slipping again as Rose’s legs become heavier with every step.

And yet none of that is what makes her stop walking, letting out a huff of air as indecision plays across her features and she looks back to Dean, running a hand back through her hair as if to sweep her thoughts into some kind of order. She stops because it’s the thought that lying to him is a betrayal, that hiding things from him, no matter the reason, might only do more damage than good and whether he needs this or not, she has to believe that he at least needs to know there’s one person he can trust more than some valiantly stupid attempt to protect him. (Wis 18 – WS CF.)]

I might be – I mean, I could… [Gaping as she tries to find the words.] How long has it been since we… [Unable to even finish one whole sentence.] Responsible wasn’t really on either of our minds before we came to Andres.

[likedillinger]

[ with a wis check of 21, he immediately picks up what she's laying down, and stops, turning to face her, his expression becoming a mask of frozen shock, his brain racing too quickly for him to really process. ] You-- [ this is clearly the last thing he was expecting because apparently he doesn't know that sex makes babies despite

that whole ben ordeal. ] But I mean you haven't--

[ awkward starts and stops are us ] I mean, come on, what are the odds, right?

[littledhampir]

[Rose just kind of stands there as Dean catches up on the last minute or two that has been her overactive brain, hands burying deep in her pockets, like maybe she'll find the rest of her words hidden in there or something.]

Right... [What are the odds?!] Except... [(Wis 18)] What are the odds... [LBR if anyone could be that 1% the first time they have sex?! It's Mr and Mrs Matching Crit Fails.]

I mean I feel - fine, so... It's, probably, nothing?

[likedillinger]

Probably. [ he repeats the word distantly, as if trying to wrap his head around the implications of that probably. ] But you haven't-- checked or anything.

[littledhampir]

Yeah I'm really all of... thirty seconds ahead of you in the whole, realizing that was something I - should do. [And while she's trying her best to not go into full on panic-mode? Her face right now isn't really portraying a picture of calm. (WS 12.)]
