[Allen is in the kitchen, munching away on lunch during his break. Sure, there are nutcrackers about but when you have been here as long as he have? You get priorities, and delicious and free food always overrules the awkwardness associated with kissing all your friends and strangers]

[...]

[Okay so maybe only Allen has those priorities but STILL.]

[This of course line of thought, makes him realize something which he'll unexpectedly dictated after a swallow of food]

-- Ah!

I forgot it was my anniversary last week!

How did that slip my mind?!

[OOC: Open or over the journal! And yes, all for the kissing]

[There's just slow clapping over the journal right now]

[save_the_souls]

[he just sighs]

Ah...thank you.

[waterproofed]

I don't know what you're supposed to say for these things, but I'm glad you're here, man.

[onlyanapple]

So, how far off were you in remembering it?

/dictated

[theabjectauthor]

Your anniversary, sir?

[save_the_souls]

Ah...thank you, Percy! I'm glad that I've had this time to know you too!

dictated forever

[save_the_souls]

Ah- yes! I mean, it's my sixth anniversary since arriving here.

[save_the_souls]

Only about...ten days!

[waterproofed]

So how long has it been for you, anyway?

[save_the_souls]

It's been six years, actually.

[waterproofed]

Whoa. You must've been one of the first people here.

[save_the_souls]

[a small laugh] I am actually, yes. I'm one of the oldest residents here.

[onlyanapple]

...Wow. That's really sad, Allen.

[waterproofed]

Do you do things to celebrate? 'Cause I think a thing like that needs to be celebrated.

[theabjectauthor]

[incredulous doesn't even begin to cover it. he's actually a little squeaky, like someone snuck him a hit of helium]. Six YEARS?!

[save_the_souls]

Hey! I'm sure people forget their anniversaries all the time!

[save_the_souls]

Well...last year I went out to eat with some friends! But it might be too late to do that now..

[save_the_souls]

Ah-

[oh right, some people freak out about that]

Y-Yes, but don't worry! Most people don't stay here for that long!

[theabjectauthor]

Oh... No, no, I.... You see, I ... [oh dear.]

I'm sorry, sir, I hardly meant to offend. It's simply that yours is the longest tenure here I've heard of... Save for something that was told to me of the folks colloquially known as the First Generation.

[save_the_souls]

Um, well yes...I suppose I am. I'm one of the oldest residents that still lives at the castle.

[waterproofed]

Why? Are all the restaurants closed for the winter or something?

[theabjectauthor]

Oh... Heavens, then you must have had to endure all manner of terrible, emotionally taxing and theoretically impossible things. You, sir, have both my utmost condolences and my absolute respect for weathering it all for so very long. My name is Lemony Snicket, and it is, indeed, an honor to meet you.

[onlyanapple]

Oh yes, it's easy to forget when you get kidnapped by a sentient bipolar castle.

[ofhope]

Happy Anniversary.

[save_the_souls]

[a super quick pause- Joshua?]

...Thank you.
