❀ Fourteen ❀

[There are more than just delinquents in the lobby today. In fact, a good portion of it is taken up by the very beginnings of a fairly massive puzzle. And in the middle of it, a tiny kid with a stuffed bunny in his lap, and a plate of chocolate chip cookies on the floor next to him. He's staring down at the puzzle in intense concentration.] ❀ I can

I-Is that a riddle of some kind?

[boylolita]

❀ Not a riddle - a puzzle! ❀

[stalkershiki]

Huh... oh! You mean, like, a jigsaw puzzle! Wow, that's... pretty awesome, actually! Do you need help finding that piece?

[boylolita]

❀ If you want to help me, you can! I can't find it anywhere. ❀

[stalkershiki]

Sure thing! You're in the lobby, right?

[boylolita]

❀ Yep! Right by the front door! ❀

[stalkershiki]

Alright, cool! I'll be right there!

[And, sure enough, just a few minutes later, there's Shiki Misaki, walking across the lobby and sitting herself down across the puzzle pieces from Hunny, looking intently for the lady's eye herself.]

[boylolita]

❀ Shiki!!!!! ❀

[Be prepared to be hit by a flying glomp in 3...2...1...]

[stalkershiki]

[Ahh, Hunny glomp! Shiki looks up just in time to see Hunny coming towards her, but she manages to get herself ready for the impending glomp quickly enough, and hugs her back when he reaches her.]

Hi there, Hunny~

[boylolita]

[He releases her from the glomp and just looks up at her, super excited and grinning.]

❀ Wow, it's been so long since we've gotten to hang out, with all of the scary stuff going on! ❀

Sorry for lateness! Life kind of... happened. ;;

[stalkershiki]

Yeah, there really have been a lot of things going on with the castle recently, huh...

But at least we get to hang out now!

it's okay, i've been at a con so i haven't been tagging

[boylolita]

❀ Maybe it got bored and decided to do a bunch of stuff at once! ❀

Ooh, really? I hope you've been having fun there! Out of curiosity, is it Dragon*Con?

[stalkershiki]

You know, I could totally see the castle doing that. I mean, it's almost absolutely sentient, and regular people get bored and stuff too, but... I still don't like it.

yep, it was d*con! it was my first con ever, and i had a great time!

[boylolita]

❀ Yeah, it still creeps me out a lot! Buildings shouldn't be able to think! ❀

[He says this last part rather indignantly, as though the castle is in trouble for breaking this rule.]

Ahh, it was your first con? That's so great- I'm glad to hear that you had a good time~ :D

[stalkershiki]

I know! It's totally stupid, and I'm not totally sure that I approve of it at all.

my first, and most certainly not my last!

[boylolita]

❀ Well I know that I don't approve of it! If the castle can think, I at least wish that it could think happy things. ❀
