007 Spells Cast//Dictated

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

[Jade's holding one of the odd nutcrackers and has taken up a spot outside the Castle. His glasses are perched on top of his head as he's trying to figure the little thing out.]

I've never seen one of these things before. They've been popping up all over the Castle and I've seen others avoiding them. I assume they're not entirely benign in nature?

[It's little mouth can be heard clicking up and down as Jade opens and closes it repeatedly. It's got a purpose other than making the residents skittish, but thus far, he can only gather you're supposed to put something in the mouth. There's no space for storage, after all.]

((OOC: Open to kisses and just general CR gathering! I need all the CR!!))

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

Now that would be quite a sight.

[legacydeck]

I imagine it was - though at least I woke up fully clothed, which puts it a step or two above some of my past escapades.

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

My, my, I don't know if that's a relief or not, then.

[legacydeck]

Given the stories I grew up with of the Fair Folk, I'm just glad it wasn't anything worse.

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

It can always be worse.

[legacydeck]

Certainly. And the Fair Folk are not known for treating humans kindly. But all told, it was rather enjoyable.

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

Well, hopefully in the future it'll be just as fun.

[legacydeck]

We'll see, I suppose~ I'm not sure what the nutcrackers forebode.

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

Same, but given the castle's track record, it can't be too good.

[He turned the little thing over in his hands, still examining it.]

[legacydeck]

True. There's always some sort of catch, even if the fun outweighs it.

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

[Jade offered it to the other, looking a little amused.]

He seems harmless.

[legacydeck]

[Clow takes it, and then makes a point of lifting the lever, and slamming it down, hard, with a rather decided clack of wood on wood]

I don't know, I'm not sure I'd have wanted my fingers in that.

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

True enough. But I suppose that's why they normally put warning labels on them, hm~?

[He's assuming, at least. Everything has child safety labels.]

[legacydeck]

Your world must either be terribly simple or terribly complex, if everything comes with warnings~

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

Terribly overprotective.

[legacydeck]

[That gets a laugh out of Clow]

I suppose that works, too. Thought it makes life far less interesting.

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

You'd be surprised how many people were just fine with boringly predictable lives.

[legacydeck]

How dreadful. I loathe predictability.

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

It makes life far too boring.

[legacydeck]

Indeed. Which is why I mind this place rather less than most here, I think.

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

[Jade smirked.]

I can't say I like it, but I can tolerate it for the few chuckles it gets.

[legacydeck]

I can't say I like all of the things the castle throws at us, but compared to what life had become at home? I'll take the bad that comes with the good.

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

Oh?

[legacydeck]

Terrifically boring, largely.

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

With the way you were talking, it seemed it could be just as interesting~
