♅ fifth / Valentine's

[themistress]

[Mistress's chambers are never a good place to find yourself uninvited. For one, there are all sorts of weird things lying around, like skulls and whips and not-completely-phallic objects. For another, Mistress is very temperamental, and dislikes being disturbed.

Especially when she's trying to sleep. Which she is. Because heaven knows she's not getting invited to any all-night orgies in this place, so why bother staying up? So she's just sort of peacefully dozing, or a peacefully as she's really capable of being.

Until, of course, the castle decides it wants to be her best friend.

Love you too, Cair Paradisa~]


[ OOC: Plus Washington! Open for (probably slightly delayed) journal reactions. Because Wash's life is not miserable enough. Ever. ]

[Wash isn't exactly known for taking sudden ridiculousness well, even as used to the castle as he is. He's quick to notice the change, even if he was sleeping...] What the hell? Where am I?

[themistress]

[Well, this puts Mistress in a funny spot. She's annoyed that she's been woken, but not too annoyed because she'd rather be ~awake~ anyway. And that's exactly a voice that she'd like to hear.

She rolls over and beams.]

Oh, well, hello. Glad you've reconsidered.

[dontpatr0nizeme]

...

I... Uh... I have no idea how I got here,

[themistress]

Why worry how? The point is that you are.

[dontpatr0nizeme]

Umm... Because I don't really think this is a good thing, necessarily?

[themistress]

Mmn, but why wouldn't it be?

[dontpatr0nizeme]

...

You do realize I didn't have any plans of spending the night with you like this, right?

[themistress]

[SHRUG] Spontaneity has its charms.

[dontpatr0nizeme]

Still don't really have plans to do anything but get out of here...

[themistress]

Oh, but why? We've been getting along so splendidly.

[dontpatr0nizeme]

... I'm not sure I'm interested in any of what I'm sure would interest you.

[themistress]

You interest me.

[dontpatr0nizeme]

...

Mistress, I'm not that interesting.

[themistress]

Wrong. Let me show you just how interesting I find you.

[dontpatr0nizeme]

[Starting to back away at that.] You really don't have to. I think it'd be better if I go.

[themistress]

Better for who? [But Mistress is just being snarky now, and frowning, glaring at her nails with a snort.

The castle must agree with her, though, because the doors abruptly disappear.]

[dontpatr0nizeme]

What the hell? Why are the doors gone?

[Suddenly agitated.]

[themistress]

[She is a lot less concerned by this turn of events than he is, though she does still look up with interest.]

Yes, that is rather curious, isn't it?

[dontpatr0nizeme]

Fucking castle bullshit.

[Off the bed and pacing now]

[themistress]

What are you doing? [Mistress actually seems more bewildered by his pacing than by the doors' disappearance.] Stop that, you'll just drive yourself crazy.

[dontpatr0nizeme]

I don't like being confined. We are trapped here.

[themistress]

Yes, but that [she gestures vaguely at his pacing] isn't terribly productive. Now, the doors were here until you tried to leave. If we were really trapped in this single room, the doors wouldn't have been there at all, would they?

[dontpatr0nizeme]

Hell if I know. It's the fucking castle's bullshit.

[Still pacing, not getting any less agitated.]

[themistress]

Stop pacing, you are just making it worse for yourself.

[dontpatr0nizeme]

So you expect me to just sit here like a good boy and wait for the castle to get bored enough to let us out?
