The Hundred Years' War actually lasted 126 years

[Today, anyone on Castlenet will find a new annoying game, sitting there, waiting to suck away all your time and energy. It seems a certain demon is feeling much better now, and is catching up on lost time by making the rest of the castle miserable.

There had been that business with Legato, of course, but he wasn't foolish enough to let people know he was involved in that. No need to get lectured by the do-gooders when he didn't want to be. He'd done his part, as far as he was concerned.

So, he's relaxing in the kitchen, a glass of wine beside him as he flicks through the journal]

You people have been far too tense about everything lately. Time to sit back an enjoy life a bit. Seriously, the castle messes us about enough, you don't need to mess each other about and add to it all. But it's human nature, you can't help it.

So I've given you a gift. To help you work through the meaning of life. It's on Castlenet right now. You have to play right through to the end to get the answer. [There is no answer]

You're welcome.

It's probably a stupid game, anyway.

[confidente]

How generous of you.

[onlyanapple]

What's the matter, Billy? Did they take away your computer privileges?

[onlyanapple]

What can I say? I'm a giver.

[needtoruleit]

Very funny.

[onlyanapple]

Oh come on, don't be like that. Word is, you'll be sprung in no time. They're getting bored of playing Judge and Jury.

[confidente]

And to think I thought you were a greedy bastard.

[save_the_souls]

A gift...?

[He sounds tired, but wary. Crowley doesn't do gifts what is this]

[needtoruleit]

I...



...What?

[oh, hey, guess who hasn't been let into the loop. at all.]

[onlyanapple]

Oh, I am. I'll get bored of giving in a few hours and start taking again.

forever!

[onlyanapple]

Yep! You can check it out on my computer so long as you don't break it.

[You know, that sleek thing that looks like a porsche with a screen]

[onlyanapple]

Not been paying attention?

Everyone's up in arms. Bitching at each other, things falling apart. You guys probably won't be there much longer.

and ever!

[save_the_souls]

Ah-

That's okay...I'm still not really sure how to work those anyway...

[confidente]

Of course.

[needtoruleit]

Pay attention to what? If there is talk, then I can't see it. And no one comes down to actually tell me anything.

Crowley

[ironlady]

You're as generous as ever.

[solar_absorber]

...What's the catch?

[onlyanapple]

You're a teenager and you can't work a computer?

[Sigh] Well, I'm going to have to fix that, it's fundamentally wrong.

[save_the_souls]

[a slight huff] I'm twenty-one. I'm not a teenager anymore.

And...it's not like they existed in my time! I don't see the point in learning them, I've been just fine without computers.

[onlyanapple]

I'll be making the children cry any day now.

Caterina

[onlyanapple]

Well, someone has to do it, right?

[onlyanapple]

Are you suggesting that little old me would be cruel enough to give such a thing a catch?

[onlyanapple]

Wow, really?

...That's kind of assholey of them.

[solar_absorber]

Do you want me to humor you, or do you want my honest answer?

[onlyanapple]

To-may-to, to-mah-to.

You can use one here. And be better for it. I shan't have a technologically repressed person living under my roof.
