212 Fahrenheit is the boiling point of water at sea level

[Behind the doors leading into the kitchen, ballroom, and dining room today are a secret surprise. Mostly air horns duct taped to the walls, so when the doors are opened, the horn will BLARE LOUDLY.

It turns out Crowley is a touch more upset about Jilly leaving than he's let on, and so is making everyone else suffer for of it. He might be hanging around the crime scenes, too. With earplugs in.

Just waiting for someone to accidentally trip his trap]

[[ooc: Open as an open thing, set off the horns, manage to avoid them, do whatever you wish!]]

[Renee pushes the door of the kitchen open, not paying attention to how hard, and it swings open right into the air horn. The sudden noise shakes her from her from her thoughts and she jumps around and sees the air horn lodged behind the door handle.]

What the hell? This another of the castle's jokes?

[onlyanapple]

[Crowley makes an annoyed snort from his vantage point, removing one earplug]

The castle does pull some nasty things, doesn't it?

[alwaysaquestion]

[She moves her gaze from the air horn to Crowley.]

That does seem to be the running theme of this place.

[onlyanapple]

At least you'll never be bored.

[alwaysaquestion]

[She raises an eyebrow.]

Famous last words.

I'm not really worried about getting bored. The castle probably has something special planned to end that quickly.

[onlyanapple]

Yes, but you need something to entertain yourself inbetween bouts of castle induced non-boredom.

[alwaysaquestion]

And you're first thought was air horns?

[onlyanapple]

No, my first thought was scorpions, but they're really hard to get on such short notice.

[alwaysaquestion]

I thought the castle granted wishes? Or does it not approve of your antics?

[onlyanapple]

It's not a big fan of wishing for living things, it seems.

[alwaysaquestion]

I guess I can see why. People would probably start asking for their pets or family to show up then.

[onlyanapple]

And think what a crowded mess the castle would be then

[alwaysaquestion]

As opposed to the crowded mess it is now?

[onlyanapple]

At least there are empty rooms, I remember a time when it was full to bursting.

[alwaysaquestion]

Really? How long have you been stuck here?

[onlyanapple]

Over three years now. Not much, when compared to the vastness of eternity, but still, long enough.

[alwaysaquestion]

[That takes a minute for her brain to compute.]

Three...three years?

...Damn.

[onlyanapple]

I know, right? And I'm not even one of the residents who's been here longest. Not by far.

[alwaysaquestion]

[She probably shouldn't but...]

What's the longest you've heard?

[onlyanapple]

About four and a half years I think. Maybe five?

[alwaysaquestion]

[Yep, she shouldn't have asked.]

But people get sent back sometimes, right? So, it's all just random?

[onlyanapple]

[Horrible thing, reality]

About as random as it gets. You never know if you're going to be in it for the long haul, or just here for a few days.

[alwaysaquestion]

[Softly.] Or a month.

Another way for the castle to keep us on our toes.

[onlyanapple]

As if it didn't have enough was to do that already, right?

[alwaysaquestion]

Not if it's the controlling type, which it seems to be.

[And how weird was it to be calling a castle controlling?]
