[Galadriel;]

Did you figure it out?

[with the theory being if she didn't, she'll admit to not knowing what he's talking about.]



[Felix;]

I haven't heard from you in a while. Hm... [there's that laugh of his again.] I didn't scare you off, did I?



[Pubic;]

[and then there's some bored dictation for the rest of the castle.]

Give it another month or so, and I will have been here for four years. While I'll agree that spontaneously losing parts of yourself and being elaborately confined are obnoxious, I'm beginning to think the worst part is how people don't stick around long enough to get anything done. Four years, and so little to show for it.

But now, some former residents are arriving with their previous memories still intact. It's a bit like adding insult to injury, watching the powers-that-be pick and choose who remembers and who has to have things explained to them all over again.

If anyone's thinking [he stops himself mid-sentence and crosses that part out pretty thoroughly. not important.]

[hatesdolls]

[What up, Zelman. Wherever you are, you're pretty much getting plopped onto. Someone's bored and doesn't care that you might be having an important conversation over the journal.]

What are you doing?

1/2

[exanimatus]

[oof--! oh, there... goes the journal.]

[exanimatus]

[oh... it's on the floor, now. he'll never get it back. woe.]

--Nothing anymore, why?

[hatesdolls]

Because I'm bored, that's why. I was hoping you were doing something at least a little interesting, but I guess that was a mistake.

[exanimatus]

[he frowns for a moment... before deciding that sitting up, grabbing her in some sort of sideways hug and then yanking her back down is an excellent idea. now you're trapped.]

You haven't changed either. You're just as impossible to please as ever.

[hatesdolls]

[She narrows her eyes at him (though she's not yelling so it can be assumed she's more than okay with this), and then she's squirming to grab his journal from the floor. Somehow.]

Look who's talking.

[exanimatus]

[...oh man, if he can get his journal back out of this without having to get up? have a little more wiggle room, Asuka.]

I do a perfectly good job of keeping myself occupied. I don't know what your problem is.

[hatesdolls]

[Reaaaaaaaaching... so close.]

You're my problem. You're not entertaining enough.

[exanimatus]

[...fuck it, he has super-strength. he'll just hold her out towards it.]

I'm a vampire, not late-night television.

[hatesdolls]

[Ah, useful. Asuka grabs the journal c: ]

Turn into a bat, then.

[Smirk.]

[exanimatus]

[brings her back in. hello. C:]

That's stupid and you know it.

[hatesdolls]

No, you're right. Bats are pretty stupid. You'd be one of those red parrots.

[Once she's settled, she'll just open his journal and start flipping through. Definitely not smiling.]

[exanimatus]

[he'll make a grab to get his journal back. smirking despite himself.]

I'm not a pet either.

[hatesdolls]

[No. Hers now. She stretches up her arms, hoping to make his next attempt more difficult.]

You're so picky! How about a peacock? They're not really pets, they just walk around and look pretty. That's all they're good for, really. Booor~ing.

[exanimatus]

Peacocks are aggressive. Be careful what you suggest, huh?

[...tries tickling her.]

[hatesdolls]

[Welp. There goes the journal onto the floor again 8( And... Asuka flailing about to cover her sides. She's mostly limbs so be careful there, Zelman.]

What are you doing?!

[exanimatus]

[HE WILL STOP, mostly in order to avoid taking a sharp, girly elbow to the face.]

You're being ridiculous.

[hatesdolls]

I was trying to read, Bloodsucker.

[exanimatus]

You were trying to keep it away from me, Goldfish.

[hatesdolls]

So I could read it. Duh.

[exanimatus]

You weren't even stopping to look at the pages.

[hatesdolls]

You didn't give me a chance. [Clearly.]

[exanimatus]

If you want it so much, you can get it again.

[hatesdolls]

You're the one who made me drop it. You get it.

[exanimatus]

I can't. You're laying on top of me.
