-6 Woolongs [Dictated/Action]

[3nterprising]

[That strange earthquake from the day before was a little frightening, but it doesn't stop Faye from wandering through various common areas in the castle. There's something off about everything, and she can't quite put her finger on whether or not it's more than just the quake that caused it.]

The castle doesn't look too bad. A little shaken, if nothing else. [There's humor in her voice; that joke was a little too much.] I'm guessing everyone's ok, right?



How'd you make out in all of this? You're not all crushed somewhere, are you?




You alright?




How's your cabin? Keep an eye out for looters.

Faye

[both_neither]

Yeah, I'm fine. The bar and my place in town are a little worse for the wear, though, so I'm gonna have to move back to the castle for a little bit.

[3nterprising]

Since when do you have a bar?

Faye

[gottaknockhard]

I guess they decided to cut me a break.

[Funny how being in the castle helped him avoid trouble for once. Comparatively, anyway.]

Faye

[samson]

It's totalled. They'd need to loot through rubble.

[3nterprising]

You don't say.

[She's actually kind of relieved to hear that.]

[3nterprising]

Totalled, really?

You weren't in it, were you?

[gottaknockhard]

I'm as surprised as you are.

[He's assuming she's fine, judging by the general optimism, but he's still listening just in case there's something she wouldn't say outside of a filter. You can never tell for sure.]

[3nterprising]

Don't get too comfortable. It's a moody castle, you know.

[both_neither]

I don't. Just work there. Have almost since I moved out to town last year.

[gottaknockhard]

You've noticed that, huh?

[3nterprising]

Have you tried getting the castle to fix it?

[3nterprising]

I'd question anyone who hasn't by now.

[gottaknockhard]

I like to toy with denial now and then.

[samson]

Yep. I've climbed out of worse.

[3nterprising]

Even if you deny it, it'll still be true the next day.

[gottaknockhard]

[... Even half-joking, he doesn't like hearing Faye make sense like that.]

You've grown more accepting in your old age.

[3nterprising]

Can you get it fixed?

[3nterprising]

Funny, you've just grown more obnoxious.

[You can't call a woman old and get away scott-free, Spike.]

[samson]

It'll take me awhile, but yeah... I've been meaning to do the other three walls in brick, anyway.

[gottaknockhard]

[He shouldn't even joke about it after recent experiences, but he can't help it.]

Well, you've got some years ahead of me still.

[3nterprising]

Are you trying to get at something?

[3nterprising]

Bricks, huh? As long as you stay away from sticks and straw.

[gottaknockhard]

Who knows?

[3nterprising]

[He's so immature. But calling him that would only perpetuate the situation.]

Well, cut it out.

[Yeah. She's taking the high road.]

[gottaknockhard]

[It's his weird way of complimenting her. Because that counts in his mind...]

I don't know what you're talking about.
