Five other castles (at the least)- why have we seen so little of them?

-Libet: [page number]
-Enigma: [Same page number here] Nothing is known regarding this castle save its location on the map.
-Draconis: Notes from Lastlook indicate the presence of another castle, one which was brought down by the plague we ourselves experienced not long ago. [page number page number] There remains the possibility that this is the proper name for Cair Enigma. Given the name, it is likely linked to the “Dragon” of “The Five.”

We have, then, knowledge of three lesser castles, at the most, and two at the least. Two are abandoned, having experienced major disasters. It is also worth noting that, in both instances, records indicate the castles had ceased communication with their residents- as ours had until recently.

Do other castles remain undiscovered? Might they still be populated?

[And all of these notes leave her....not much further than she was before. Sigh.]

[End private]

[Galadriel hates December. She really does. No matter how she tries, she can’t seem to avoid the castle’s shenanigans this time of year. And, as much as she would love to, she can’t exactly spend the entire month in her room, nor can she hang off Celeborn’s arm constantly, in the hopes that he’d be the only one she’d kiss.

So, in need of some fresh air, she wraps her cloak about her and heads to the stables- it may be cold, but a ride would do her good. And it seemed a good way to escape people.

There’s only one problem with this plan: she has to get from her room to the stables and there are plenty of nutcrackers decorating the castle along the way.]

[ooc: open for kissing shenanigans]

Comments

[wizard_redfive]

Yes, it has. [Probably because certain people were hiding in their room most of the time. Namely Dairine.]

Are you doing well?

[inafadingcrown]

[Galadriel too, actually.]

Well enough. I will be well pleased when this season has passed.

[wizard_redfive]

Not liking the holidays?

[inafadingcrown]

The holidays are pleasant enough, though they are not my own. It is the castle's peculiar means of marking them that troubles me.

[wizard_redfive]

Yeeaaah... [Dairine scrunches up her nose in an irritated expression.] I'm not that wild about the kissing thing either.

[inafadingcrown]

[Dairine, that is an adorable expression.] But alas, one cannot spend an entire month in one's quarters.

[wizard_redfive]

[Nooooooo it's not]

Not if the castle has any say in it, at least. [Implying the castle DOES and will do something if it is not pleased.]

[inafadingcrown]

You made the attempt, I gather. [Looking a little amused now.]

[wizard_redfive]

[She nods.] And got dumped into the lobby for my troubles.

[inafadingcrown]

[She laughs] Did you? I grew restless before it could do any such thing.

[wizard_redfive]

[Dairine flushes, embarrassed.]

See, I thought I had done a pretty good job at leaving my room every once and a while. Stretch my legs a bit. But apparently it wasn't enough for the castle's tastes.
