Twenty Two

[pocketsizedpal]

Is it just me, or have we had a sudden influx of newcomers?

...I hope that doesn't mean anything ominous. I've had my fill of ominous for at least a month.

It's not anything ominous.

If anything...it tends to be a good sign. [Though his tone is a bit :| ]

[pocketsizedpal]

Are you sure? I mean, the place could be...stocking up for...something.

[Distrustful of this stupid world. So distrustful]

[save_the_souls]

Mm.

Often times there will be a large influx of new people after a bad event happens and for awhile it will be calm.

As if...it's replacing the ones that it has broken down.

[pocketsizedpal]

I'd say that was really nice of it, but I know better.

[teasingly,]Don't go tempting the castle again, you're far too good at giving it ideas!

[More serious, now] I really don't know if it means anything or not. There have been influxes like this in the past though, right? Did anyhing happen in those cases?

I don't know why it likes my ideas. It can pick on other people for a change.

The only big one I remember was after new years. When a bunch of people went home, too.

[Because your ideas usually end up putting them in awkward situations, maybe?] Agreed, someone else should have to deal with it for a while.[Like Washington]

[She immediately goes quiet at this. You dare go home, Shortpack, and she will never forgive you.]

[That would be it] I'd welcome the break.

...You okay? [He won't, he promises D: He doesn't want to return to his life of suck]

[controlingfire]

I do not understand... You believe more people coming... will lead to something negative? [ Hello, meet a newcomer. (: ]

[pocketsizedpal]

[Epic pause] ...You haven't lived here for long, have you?

[controlingfire]

Maybe two weeks. Why?

[pocketsizedpal]

That'd be why.

This place has a habit of...doing nasty things. If something out of the ordinary happens, it's worth noting.

What Allen said - if anything, a bunch of people coming here at the same time tends to mean it'll be quiet for a while on the castle's end so it can let them get used to it all before springing surprise zombies on them. You know, make them comfortable first.

[pocketsizedpal]

Oh yeah, because you want to be comfortable in your surroundings as you get mauled by things. [Siiigh] I really hope you're right.

[encryptedlock]

Hey, it's for max shock value. Why waste the "oh no I'm in a castle" shock by compounding it with the "oh no, demons are attacking" shock?

[pocketsizedpal]

Isn't that the truth? The castle doesn't want them all having strokes, after all.
