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.]

[His voice cuts through her escalating stream of panic as all she can think is that she can’t do this, that she’d stand a better chance at facing down all nine archdevils than she would at handling this because she doesn’t know how. That one word is enough to halt her runaway mind though and before it can start up again he’s right in front of her, holding her gaze in his and filling her head with words of his own.

Of everything he says, it’s one repeated word that lodges in her chest and starts to pull her back from the edge; We. Not you, not some pep talk to tell her that she can handle this but we, Rose pulling in a slow, steady breath and releasing some of the tension in her body as she exhales. (Will Save 16).

A weak smile tugs at the corner of her mouth and she leans into him, chasing the reassuring warmth of his body, a hand coming to rest on his side as the cogs in her head finally slow down.]

Unfairly attractive. [Lips twitching.] Plus ya know, an extreme badass in the making. [It's still weak on her part but she’s trying and while she knows it’s still unlikely, she silently promises herself right now that if she is? She won’t be like Janine. She might not know the first thing about being a parent but she’ll be there and that’s a hell of a lot more than she had growing up.]

We can handle it. [A little bob of her head and it almost sounds like she’s starting to believe that.] Guess we should, find out what it is we’re handling then, huh.

[likedillinger]

[ his other hand slides around her back, holding her steadily against himself until he sees some of the fear fade out of her eyes. at that point, he tilts her chin up enough to give her a brief, but warm kiss, before slipping his arm fully around her waist and drawing her back up the sidewalk with him. ] No time like the present.

[littledhampir]

[She lets him anchor her, trying to keep her mind from racing, counting steps in her head just to offer her brain a distraction as she allows Dean to do the leading for a change.] Tell me something? Anything, just...

[likedillinger]

[ dean racks his brain and comes up so hilariously short so what she gets is: ] ... I ever tell you about the time a dumpster tried to eat me? [ clearly this is the man you want to be the father of your child, rose ]

[littledhampir]

[And yet, it's exactly what she needs, Rose twisting her head around to gauge if he's full of shit right now. (SM 24).] A dumpster? This oughtta be good.

[likedillinger]

Sylar and I went ghoul hunting in Chicago. Don't ask. You ever heard of a living dumpster?

[littledhampir]

[There is way too much wrong with that sentence for Rose but -(Know AL 9) IDK maybe she has.] Somehow I think it's better if you explain it.

[likedillinger]

It's basically a mimic. Disguises itself as a regular dumpster, but it's actually a fully functioning monster whose insides are nothing but hideous digestive tract.

[littledhampir]

Oh... [Bobbing her head and then;] Ohhh - gross. Please tell me you weren't actually... in, the dumpster?

[likedillinger]

... Not for long, at least.

[littledhampir]

Yeah that makes it... way less disgusting. [#sarcasm. That icon kjhvghv]

[likedillinger]

I took a shower after.

[littledhampir]

In bleach? [A huff of laughter that doesn't feel completely unnatural passing her lips.] So, what happened? And you can skip the parts that involve words like gag or vomit thanks.

[likedillinger]

We killed it. What'd you think?

[littledhampir]

You know you really suck at storytelling. [But it didn't matter, because it had given her something else to focus on as he led them towards the drugstore and that was what she'd needed.] Thanks.

[likedillinger]

I left out the part where Sylar screamed like a little girl. [ dean, that didn't happen. ]

[littledhampir]

So... You were the Knight in Shining Armor to his Damsel in Distress?



[Yaois.]

[likedillinger]

There wasn't a thank-you kiss, if that's what you're asking.

[littledhampir]

Uh huh. [Shit-stirring.

A little more serious now however.] Do you miss it? Chicago, hunting random... crap?

[likedillinger]

... Chicago wasn't exactly a highlight of my life, no.

[littledhampir]

So... No second thoughts then, about sticking around, being a Knight? [A touch of hesitation. Lets be real this isn't the kind of question you ask on the way to buy a friggen pregnancy test but Rose and timing. A+]

[likedillinger]

[ he catches her gaze, and there's a canny look in his eyes as he says: ] Besides missing legitimate diner food?

[littledhampir]

[The smile in reply comes easy, a twinkle of amusement in her eyes.] You should make nice with Kat. I've seen her pull McDonald's out of thin air. She could probably score you a decent piece of pie.

[likedillinger]

I'll keep that in mind. [ oh look, the drugstore... ]

[littledhampir]

[The brightness that was there only a moment ago fades a little as the drugstore comes into view and with his arm around her, Dean would be able to feel some of the tension return as reality bites her in the ass again.

While there's at least 90% of her that would like nothing more than to just keep walking, Rose instead pulls in a deep breath, slowing her steps as she shoots Dean a sidelong glance. (WS 19)] I can... handle this part if you'd rather just... Wait here?

[It's not an attempt to shut out, more an opt out for him. Somehow Rose doubts that shopping for pregnancy tests ranks anywhere on his list of things to do with his girlfriend.]
