Who: huntersdaughter and gwaine
What: Just two responsible adults drinking responsibly and eating responsible amounts of Halloween candy. Not.
When: Today!
Where: Jo's house
Rating: Parental guidance is highly recommended.


The situation at the house has improved lately. Not that this is saying much considering how bad it had become. Gwaine would try to bear it, but he has Jo's words in his head about how he doesn't necessarily have to stick to those he knew back home. Not to mention a month in a single location is starting to drive him insane. Before, a week in the same town was a lot; four weeks and he's starting to debate the pros and cons of falling on his sword.

Making up his mind, he pushes Elyan and Ruffy off him and grabs his sword. Elena was kind of enough to finish dressing him that morning so he has some protection against the cold when he wanders out. The leaves are still everywhere and it soon turns into an uphill struggle getting through them. When he's about to give up and return to the house, he realizes he's near Jo's house. The prospect of seeing her makes him much happier than the thought of staring at the ceiling for the rest of the day. Shaking a stray leaf from his hair, he heads there.

[ things have been rough for jenna lately, but now that she's managing to deal with things - and has figured out her loss the hard way - she's a little more able to face the truth of what elena told her. she's currently in the room with her nameplate on it, which is thankfully sans any other name, and has been up there for a while. she feels bad, ditching elena, but it was so much to deal with. ]

Wow... time really flies in this place. I should've said this before, but... thank you, to everyone who helped me when I first arrived. It meant a lot to me that people would be so helpful to someone so obviously unused to supernatural things...

[ ugh, so much she knows now... and it's starting to eat at her. she left elena alone. jenna is elena's guardian and supernatural things or not, she needs to be there for elena. ]

...Elena... [ and that's all she manages to get out before she just gets up and heads out to elena's room. why talk when she can act? ]

❀ forty-five unicorn statues for my desk

[iamdamnloyal]

I think this month is going to be the best month! Pinkie Pie is totally okay after that whole... living statue thing. Halloween was an amazing success. I hope you all saw my awesome costume.

[She's doing the walk and talk, heading to work, but she's taking the LONG way by going down the stairs and walking each floor. Hey, a vampire girl has to keep her figure somehow... she might have eaten all of the Twizzlers last night.]

The leaves are still annoying, but you know what? I think it's better than the snow. Plus! [Then she stops...]

Hold on a second. [She walks by the door again, then takes a few steps backwards making sure she is on the right floor. Then walks forward again and sees the nameplate gone.]

Okay... mixed feelings. Spike is gone.

[BACKDATED TO MID-OCTOBER]

[Time to get this show on the road!

Nepeta had given the date and time to everyone that had signed up, with another last minute filter to anyone 15 and under of where the meetup would take place, including a hand-drawn map.

The building itself is hard to distinguish from any other business in town aside from the wooden sign: A picture of a laser pack and gun, and even that looks rather fitting for their surroundings.

Inside is a whole other story.

The walls are dark and there's almost a dungeon-like feel, but bright lights are spreckled about the massive room as energetic music plays overhead. Behind a big, vault-like door is the battlefield; an endless maze of walls and ramps and black lights, perfect for hiding from the enemy or staking out prey.



They'll have to wait to be suited up before being unleashed, of course, and they must promise to abide by the Player's Code of Conduct. That part is optional, of course.



Now Nepeta is standing half outside of the building, keeping an eye out for anyone that signed up to play. She'll flag them down if she sees them, and let everyone mingle and meet before they start to play. Better to get to know the competition before it begins!]



(ooc: You don't have to have signed up to join in! If your kid is 15 or younger and they're not tagged in, feel free to tag them in and join the fun. :3 This entry is backdated to when everyone was loss-free and able to play. EXTREMELY BACKTAG FRIENDLY!)

[You are now ARADIABOT, and you do not know where you are.

It's already weird for her to wake up at all, because she doesn't sleep. Ever. Even weirder is waking up in a recuperacoon, in a room that feels kind of familiar but at the same time isn't anyplace she's been before. Or any time, for that matter.

There is a lot of weird stuff in her sylladex, too. Why the hell does she have Eridan's legendary piece of shit gun, for instance? This is useless. She dumps the stuff she doesn't want in a pile on the floor. It is basically all of the stuff.

She's about to dump her journal, too, when she stops. Hm. There's something... odd about that book. Odd, and familiar. She decides to open it and speak, but listeners may notice her voice has an eerie metallic tone to it, as well as a pr0n0unced h0ll0wness...]

[Violet's in the lobby for once, with schematics rolled out for Dr. Brennan's x-ray machine. She's already got several of the pieces done, but she's making more notes. Her journal is open, and she's actually cheery for once.]

So I really did enjoy the past few days. It was a nice relief of everything the castle has thrown at me lately. I've never experienced the culture before, so I took plenty of notes. I think my brother would have appreciated it. But in lieau of him not being here, I shall take up the task of learning more about it. That is, in between working on Dr. Brennan's x-ray machine and microscope.

[Filter to Percy]

I just wanted to say thank you for your support the last few weeks. It means a lot. I can be a little too independant, I suppose. But having someone to listen to me and not judge me means a lot. I've had to question a lot lately. And I'm just glad to have you around.

ooc: feel free to action it up in the lobby.

tenth examination [ dictated ]

[longaevus]

[ It had been a week since Helen had been returned to herself, or at least sort of. The loss had had brought back much that she wished to forget, although it seemed that that wasn't all the castle had in store for her. Helen couldn't quite describe it but waking up with new memories, and a vague recollection of her memories in the castle along with that? It had taken her the past week to re-acclimatise herself with the castle, although more than that to organise her mind. It almost felt as if she'd only just done such a thing although this time she didn't have the luxury of one hundred and thirteen years to so, not without making James and Nikola worry too much. She'd been around, just enough to be present but less involved than she may have been otherwise ]

There were many thoughts that I held in regards to the castle but to possess such depravity? A little too much sentience for such a thing. [ While she hadn't ruled out someone being behind the castle and its magic this was just reinforcing that idea further ]

The celebrations, however, were pleasant to see. It's been quite some time since I've seen quite an arrangement. Diwali mubarak ho, if a little belated.

Who: Oliver and Clark/Supes (on his loss)
When: Duh. Back when Clark was on his loss.
Where: The Gym.
What: Oliver has Kryptonite. Yep. He's been sort of hoarding it. Guess who isn't too happy about that fact?


On his better days, Oliver could just go shooting at the archery range to clear his head, but for some reason he had far too many things on his mind. All the effort he put out at the range just made him realize that he needed to do something different to clear his head. He still hadn't talked to Lana about the entire thing with Damon and him staying at her house and he didn't like leaving things that way. Then there was the situation with Lana Kane, something that he couldn't exactly ignore as things with Elektra progressed.

Tess was right. He really wasn't cut out to do the relationship thing. At the very least, he was still floundering through things even without remembering just what he'd done in his previous relationships.

Exhaling, he moved away from the free weights and opted to head toward the set-up for the gravity boots Nothing like clearing your head when you're upside down. Strapping himself in, he hooked himself in and started to do ab crunches. It seemed to be working, or at the very least his back didn't hurt from the work at the range.

He spotted a familiar face, even when he was upside down and stopped -- which wasn't exactly a smart thing to do. All the blood continued to rush to his head, making the veins in his forehead a bit more prominent.

Thirty Fifth

[John has finally returned, after spending quite some time out in Paradisa's wilderness, carving stuff out of wood and shooting random creatures. He kept clear of the dead zone, of course. As much as he would have loved to get into a fight during those few bleak weeks, he knew his guns were no match for...whatever the hell those metal suits could do.

Making sure his horse is settled in the stables, and giving the unicorn a passing nosepat, he opens his journal, walking back towards the castle]

Nice to see y'all didn't destroy this place while I was gone. I half expected the place to be burned down, or for something damn foolish to be going on. Saw some fireworks last night, as I was making my way back, what was that all about?

[Kat's been playing keep-away lately, in that she's pretty much avoided everyone. As happy as she's been to have one of her own here, a Spartan, another Noble, Six brought some pretty devastating news with her, and with the rough few months she's already had, Kat didn't take it too well.]

[She's starting to come to terms with it, though, and can now be found in the cemetery, just sitting facing her tombstone, out of armor, periodically shoving leaves aside when they get too smothering.]
