INTRO LOG #2

Intro Log #2
It has been two months now since the initial group of summonings first took place. Castle Thorne, or at least the part above ground, is buzzing with a vibrant air of hope following the 'success' at the Singularity. Eager smiles and excited chattering are to be found in nearly every corner of the castle and surrounding town. The honored guests may find grateful looks turned their way more often than not. A new and brighter day seems to be dawning on the kingdom.

In the dungeons it's a different story entirely. The mood is somber and uneasy. The prisoner taken for trial has yet to return, and no word has come regarding her or her fate. There has been no mention of any further trials as of yet and guards seem to have little patience for unruly behavior or even conversation. Some seem to not even look at or acknowledge the prisoners at all.

[ Feel free to continue threads from the TDM here or start your own! As cell and room assignments will be short-lived due to this month's event, you're free to assume whichever cellmates and roommates you like instead of officially signing up as long as there are ICly no more than four people in a cell or room at once. ]

I. Jail Is Still Awful

Jolie is still in jail. She's still really, really hungry. She's still really, really mad, though the anger is getting harder to sustain the longer she has to subsist on one stupid meal a day. So she spends her time singing ("This is the song that never ends! Yes, it goes on and on, my friends!"), telling what she can remember out of various books ("And so the four hobbits left the shire, looking for the inn Gandalf told them about."), clinging like a teenaged monkey to her cell door, and getting used to the fact that she has tentacles now.

She's actually kind of creeped out by the weird coiled shadows she has on her back, now. They don't seem to do much, just curl and wave and keep making her jerk when she sees them out of the corner of her eye.

But she keeps trying to practice with them. Spot her trying to wrap one around the leg of the bed or as an additional limb to hang onto the cell door with, or waving around as she tells whatever story she's on today.


II. Horizon Is Slightly Less Awful

At least when she's properly zoned out and imagines the peaceful beach and its cliff, she can be there. She's only about half-sure she's really there, half-sure she's gone from daydreaming into full-on hallucinating, but it's a nice escape for an hour or two at a time. Sometimes she swims, sometimes she lays in the sun.

Sometimes she wanders, looking for something else in the expanse of nothing. Someone else, maybe to prove this is or isn't a hallucination. At least she remembers who she is, this time. "Hi," she says the next person she meets. "Are you real?"

[Yuri's still coming down to the dungeons, because truth be told, he feels less out of place here than up in the castle proper. Maybe there's something to be said about that, but he's not really one to dwell on the psychology of it.

But today, while he's wandering past a cell while the guards studiously ignore their charges, he sees something odd.]


Neat trick.

[It isn't like any magic he's ever seen—no casting circle, no incantation. Actually, they seem more like a part of her, and Yuri's not sure what to make of that.]

Yeah, they're new.

[Jolie sounds distracted, trying to focus on controlling the length of shadow, but she loses it quickly and just sighs, letting it uncurl from the bed leg and wave around like it's trying to stretch out after working hard. Weird things.]

Woke up after the Singularity thing with them. Creepy, right?

New?

[That piques his interest, and yeah, they're totally creepy. For once, he utilizes his manners and holds that comment back, though.]

You've never had anything like that before?

Nope. I was a very boring, normal human sort of person, no magic or powers or weird additional body parts, until the whole thing with the Singularity and that weird place we went to in it.

[She pauses, and comes over to lean on the bars with a hopeful sort of expression.]

You didn't bring any food, did you?
