I'm... awake, I guess. Alive again. [But her voice sounds so dull.] Things look different outside. How long... was I gone for? Is everyone okay?

Anyone feel like sparring?

[That's a completely normal question to ask late at night, right?]

Have just been feeling... restless, lately. Working out is fine, but fighting someone? Much more fun. I've been here... almost a year now, but still don't have... regular sparring partner. That needs to change.

Come to the gym, if you want to. Promise to... go easy on you.

Is there, uh... place to drive fast, here? A track, something like that? Or even just... long, slightly flat dirt road? Got motorcycle, for Christmas.

[And she sounds so, so very excited about it. Finally, something to do to get the adrenaline flowing that she can do any time at all.]

Can give rides, too. Or driving lessons. Just wish up helmet, then meet outside.

[For anyone who does happen to come out to see her new toy, Cass is leaning up against her bike and looking quite pleased with herself. Best present ever.]

Ever since we moved, don't come here as often. To the castle. Mostly to see people, or use gym. Glad I did, today.

[Seriously, she's never seen Christmas decorations quite like this before, and that tree? It's kind of amazing.]

Decorations look really nice. Some are weird, though. Pretty sure dolls... shouldn't be that creepy.

[She's not a big fan of the Nutcrackers, okay. But, she can be found in the Castle today, whether it's in the library trying to practice her reading skills or in the gym punching the crap out of a punching bag. By the time she's made it to the gym she's snagged a mistletoe from one of the doorways with the intention of taking it back home to decorate the Bathaus, because what's a little vandalism in the name of the holiday spirit, right?]


((ooc: Plotting post is a here if you'd like to work stuff out but otherwise, bring on the smooches!))

Halloween is... for candy and costumes, right? Scary movie marathons, haunted houses. [There's a short, thoughtful pause here.] Or haunted castles, I guess.

This is first Halloween, for me. Not really sure... how it works. What do you do, where you're from?

Will need a costume...

[For anyone who happens to be out on a walk today, Cass can be found sitting on the grass outside the castle with a rather large pumpkin, a set of plastic carving tools, and an electric carving knife that's been kind of tossed off to the side. Apparently, the castle decided to get cute with her when she asked for something to carve her pumpkin with.]

[At first, there isn't any talking. There's just the sound of bed springs, the shifting of fabric, and then someone sighs, impatient.]

It's okay, Stephanie. Stop worrying.

[There's a huff.]

I'm not worrying! You stop thinking I'm worrying.

You are. Nervous. Not even... your first time. Mine.

[But Cass' voice sounds amused, there's nothing but affection there.]

I'm ready. You can do it.

Are you sure? This is your last chance to back out. This is sorta permanent. Kinda. Sorta. Maybe.

I'm sure. Want it... to be you. It won't hurt, remember?

[A sigh.]

Okay, okay. Close your eyes, for my sake.

[There's more silence over the journals, so clearly Cass must have agreed. There's more shifting of bed springs and then suddenly, a very loud gasp.]

Ow!

See! I told you! Whoops, got a little blood here... stay still, I'll get a tissue.

[Cass laughs, very quietly.]

No, don't. Was teasing, didn't hurt. Still doesn't. Keep going.

Need suggestions, for good zombie movies. Have friend who doesn't... know what they are. Has to be fixed. Some things, you have to know.

[She just has the best priorities ever.]

... Guess they can be... not good ones, too. Can be fun, laughing at... bad monster movies.

So, what's your favorite? Bonus points for... really gross ones.

may day!


[ The castle grounds holding the gardens have been transformed into a spring party sensation. Tall banners carrying the Tudor rose have been arranged in a representation of a border surrounding the celebration and events, but there are no real walls or barriers. It might make guarding difficult for the few in her employ, but that's hardly Queen Anne's problem. Nobody will be kept away unless they arrive with no mask (or representation of a mask), and although it might be hard to tell considering it's a masquerade, there will be some people (not many) from the city who have decided tentatively to accept Anne's invitation, helping fill in the crowd.

The theater stage has been covered in flowers of all sorts, as are the four wooden thrones arranged in the center. Each seat is taken, a tie for both King and Queen making for double the fun! Robb and Lucrezia have dressed as Orion and Diana, while Zelos and Galadriel have chosen Odysseus and Penelope (with a little help). The tops of their heads have been left bare, at least for the opening ceremony.

In front of them stands Anne in her costume, and she waits for the crowd to quiet before she speaks. ]


Good citizens of Cair Paradisa and City Royale, you come here today to seek pleasure and company, and I have never seen a finer or more unique looking peoples. I know you may find it difficult to smile in the wake of such recent tragedy. All here have known loss, but we have not let it conquer us, have we? God is with us. Brave souls here risked the unknown to discover the cause, while other remained to help rebuild. I am fiercely proud to see such dedication to one another, and I can only hope such unity continues to blossom! The work on the city will continue, as will the rehabilitation of the survivors most affected by calamity.

But today we spread our arms wide and heartily welcome summer. Today we make merry and keep our loves close. Today we celebrate an unprecedented event, two Queens and Kings!

[ She turns and walks over to the thrones, where the ladies hold crowns of roses in their laps and the men crowns of wooden antlers. She names each as she settles the crowns atop their heads. ]

Queen Galadriel. King Zelos. Queen Lucrezia. King Robb.

[ In playful deference, Anne will lift her skirts and curtsy to the four of them when they stand to announce that the festivities begin! ]

So, uh... everyone uses journals, here... But I can't read. Know I'm... missing a lot, like this. So, was wondering... are there teachers, here? Or just... someone who can help?

Can't pay, but can trade. Can teach to fight, hand to hand or... with weapons. Most kinds. Going to gym now, can meet there. Can meet... just to spar, too. Could use... sparring partners.

[The recording stops there, but Cass will be in the gym ready to spar with whoever wants to drop by.]

Uh... Is it- working?

[Okay, those are definitely the letters that make up the word uh but the rest of it is just jumbled up nonsense. Still, Cass is just going to trust this thing is writing down what she's saying.]

I'm- lost. I think. Castle is big. In book room. Um, library. [Come on Cass, use the right names for things.] Could use [help] information. Um... tips? Meeting in person... would be best.

[Nothing happens for a minute, but then Cass remembers the important part about introductions: You have to actually introduce yourself.]

I'm Cassandra. Cain.

[If anyone does go looking for her, they'll find Cass poking through the books and possibly looking at them like she's reading them, but once you're close enough it's clear... she's holding the book upside down. Oops.]

((ooc: Cass can't read, so any written replies might give her trouble. Feel free to find her in the library for in person meetings!)
