02 ✪ don't stop running

[ There may or may not be a small muffled noise as Ten accidentally drips some punch into the open journal. He tries in vain to wipe it off, before starting the entry. ]

Looks like the speculations about the castle doing something for Halloween were right. This doesn't seem to bad, though. Bit childish, to be sure, but not bad at all.

In one way or another. We could wake up tomorrow to find the walls covered in blood...or that the pumpkins are running around singing cheerful songs. The castle can be a bit bipolar that way.

[thosethatrun]

Blimey. Those quite a bit different.

[cloakand_danger]

You get used to the castle's sense of humor eventually.

I'm Yuan, by the way. A friend of your Fifth.

[thosethatrun]

Nice to meet you Yuan.

[cloakand_danger]

Likewise, Doctor.

[thosethatrun]

So do you just know my Fifth self or were you familiar with me when I was here before?

[cloakand_danger]

Only in passing. We had a snowball fight my first Christmas. And you were...something of a fixture, after being around so long.

[thosethatrun]

... Just how long was I here for?

[cloakand_danger]

I don't think I ever asked. Probably around two years or so.

[thosethatrun]

Blimey, that's a long time.

[cloakand_danger]

It is. ...I'm coming up on it, myself. Most people don't even reach a year, though.

[thosethatrun]

We can only hope for the best.
