Chapter Twenty

[thebestseller]

I'm three days late- but hey, nothing has happened yet. FEBRUARY BETTING POOL TIME. For those of you who are newer to the castle, I'm carrying on the fine tradition started by my buddy Gary of taking bets on the crazy crap that will happen to us during the month. Because sometimes, it helps if you don't take Paradisa too seriously.

1. Bets are for the first castlewide incident that will happen during the month of February.
2. I'll take bets for any amount from 1 to 100 Caisos.
3. Bets will be taken any time from now until the first event hits.
4. In the event that more than one person guesses correctly, the pot will be evenly split.
5. If nobody wins for the first event, I'll keep rolling the bets over til someone wins. If nobody wins by the end of the month, everyone gets their money back and we start fresh.

So, what are your guesses? Something to do with looooove, as February indeed has Valentine's Day? Or will the castle end up making us hate each other? Or will it do neither and finally fill our shoes with pudding?

I'm going to go with tainted chocolates myself. Not necessarily with love potions- maybe some will make your tongue turn green for a week, or make multi-colored pimples pop on your face, or other harmless but wacky fun.

Happened to me, too. Castle meddling, of course. But that was some years ago, so I imagine it might be ready to give that a go again.

Happened back home to me. It was to my girlfriend, but it was really awkward to try and move around.

[onlyanapple]

Well, if neither of you are particularly limber...

I am working on my technique. I realized how out of shape I was when trying to keep up with those dancers on lunar new year.

[onlyanapple]

I think most people would have difficulty keeping up with those dancers on lunar new year.

[thebestseller]

True. Didn't stop me from giving it a good shot, though.

[onlyanapple]

Well, then, good for you.

[thebestseller]

Gold star for me. A big one that reads "YOU TRIED" in the middle.

[onlyanapple]

I hope you wear it with metaphorical pride.

[thebestseller]

I added glitter and everything.

[onlyanapple]

How fabulous of you.

[thebestseller]

It'll look amazing when I wear it to the bar, too.

[onlyanapple]

I'm sure you'll turn all the heads.

[thebestseller]

I can play the part of the disco ball.

[onlyanapple]

That's a noble sacrifice.

[thebestseller]

I am nothing if not devoted to my place of employment.

[onlyanapple]

Oh, it really shows.
