[Dairine had slept in this morning. She figured she deserved it, after the cat ordeal and having to do errantry work on her own birthday. But when she wakes up, something feels… different. It doesn’t take Dairine long to figure out why.]

Ha, ha. Very funny, Paradisa.

[Her voice sounds off, but the dry sarcasm can be heard loud and clear.]

Happy birthday to me.

[ Adult women that she personally knows can trust ]

You wouldn't happen to have any spare clothes, would you?

[Later in the day, one might find an attractive young woman stalking about the castle in various stages of irritation. A newcomer? But… doesn't she look oddly familiar?]

((Backdated to Oct. 21. Loss start! Open via journal or action.))

[Crowley doesn't seem to recognise the voice because, of course, he wouldn't]

Did it give you herpes? Because that's the gift that keeps on giving.

[wizard_redfive]

[To be fair, her voice is very different. Less high-pitched and more mature.]

Ew, no! Why would the castle give out STDs?! ...Nevermind, don't answer that. [She does not want to know.]

[onlyanapple]

[He chuckles]

Given the way this castle runs, it's only a matter of time.

[wizard_redfive]

[Oh lord, Dairine can't believe she's saying this.]

Probably, but wouldn't it make more sense for it to target... you know, people who have actually had sex.

[onlyanapple]

...

You're not one of those people with eternity rings are you?

[wizard_redfive]

I'll pretend I know what you're talking about and just say no.

[onlyanapple]

So. I'd ask if you're new, but you seem to know the castle's shenanigans already.

Loss?

[wizard_redfive]

[...Wait, Crowley does not realize who she is?

This could be fun.]

What do you think?

[onlyanapple]

I don't know, that's why I asked you. Contrary to popular belief, I can't read minds.

[the_effect_she_has]

Dairine?

[A faint frown works over Katniss's face, as she walks back from where she was recovering one of the targets on the range.]

What's wrong?

Dictated

[wizard_redfive]

[A sigh, then Dairine walks over to her journal.]

Hi, Katniss.

Nothing much. The castle just put me on loss.

[wizard_redfive]

Wow, who would have guessed?

[Sigh...] Yes, it's a loss.

[onlyanapple]

[...Hmmm that tone is starting to sound familiar]

So, what is it?

Re: Dictated

[the_effect_she_has]

You sound ... odd.

[And she did, at that. Even for Dairine, odd.]

[wizard_redfive]

[There is playful laughter at his question.]

Oh, come on, Crowley. You can't just ask. Where's the fun in that?

Dictated

[wizard_redfive]

Considering I aged 10 years overnight, that doesn't surprise me...

Re: Dictated

[the_effect_she_has]

[Ah what now?]

Ten years? Ten years?! [A long, shocked pause, before Katniss writes.] Just ...ah ... how much taller are you now?

[psych0p0mps]

dairine its your birthday?

[i mean she does notice a little bit of oddness in the voice, but assumes maybe she has a cold.]

[wizard_redfive]

Was my birthday. It was yesterday, but I didn't really celebrate. [Because, you know, THE CAT.]

[onlyanapple]

You expect me to guess?

[wizard_redfive]

What? Is that too challenging for you?

Dictated

[wizard_redfive]

Maybe twenty? It's hard to tell. [Adults look pretty similar between their 20s and 30s, in her opinion.]

Um... [She glances at a mirror.] ...at least an extra foot.

[psych0p0mps]

well yeah thats understandable
but happy birthday regardless!
do you want a present :0

Re: Dictated

[the_effect_she_has]

Oh. Weird.

[Her eyebrows arch up - wow. Dairine really sprouted.] So ... how does it feel?

[onlyanapple]

It is if you don't give me any clues.
