( two ) action in castlebling-- i mean, the guilded castle

[stillnotouchie]

[ More specifically, just outside of the Guilded Castle, Rob has planted a little bean! He has spent most of the day thinking about what to do with it, and finally came to the conclusion, by the time evening rolled around, that planting it would be the most sensible idea. Armed with no gardening tools or experience, Rob digs a little hole in a

[lo.

look who's sitting on one of those lovely gilded slopes of roof above the grand entrance?

black-soled feet dangle carelessly, attached to an equally-careless frame of a fellow just chillin'. he's got a lazy, albeit kind of mocking smirk on his face. HE IS BORED.]

It was a very, eh...thoughtful thing you have done there, yes? Hello, Rob.

[stillnotouchie]

[ AAAHHH DANGLING FEET
Rob glances up, stupidly staring at Alex for a moment. ]

He's going to give me a heart attack one day. Sitting up there looks a bit on the dangerous side... Oh, hello again. [ slightly bashfully, he rubs the back of his neck, shrugging ] I didn't really know what to do with it... the bean, I mean. Does he mean the bean? He must mean the bean, what else could he be talking about- "mean the bean" rhymes. [ Rob's mouth twitches into the teeniest of random smiles at that last thought. ]

[Alex's nose is slowly coming to crinkle, one eye squinting as he tilts his head to peer down at this funky, slightly-smelly dude.

puzzling...

but he's going to play a little:]

What else is there? Aside from cooking and eating. [his lip gets bit a little, grinning down on it to keep from reiterating yes i mean the bean.]

[stillnotouchie]

Well, since there was only one, I didn't really think it would make much of a meal. And it was blue. And it was blue. I'm not really going to make a habit of eating blue beans here, who knows what'd happen if I did. Maybe I'd grown an extra pair of arms, or my beard might suddenly sprout roses. Julian would probably love that, actually.

[ I just typed Rob's name as "Orv"
MOVING ON he is considerably more talkative in his thoughts than he is aloud, though he is quite oblivious to the fact that his are being casually projected all around him. ]

[Julian has taken to furtively creeping around Castle Bling in a (normally fruitless) effort to evade Alex's stalking. Even now he is sliiiiiding along the edges of the hallway and pausing at the front door with his face creased in to a look of utmost concentration as he listens out for movement on the other side of the door]

[and lo! Approaching footsteps!]

[not knowing that it was Rob - and not Alexander - making his way back to the castle Julian looks around the hallway wildly for somewhere to hide. A second later he is bundling himself behind a wooden chest (still full of cat food) and crouching in the shadows with his eyes screwed shut as he desperately hopes not to be noticed]

[mongoosegrin]

[you are so cute.

you'll get yours.]

[stillnotouchie]

[ touch him and Rob will be most upset
and challenge you to a FAIL FIGHT ]

[mongoosegrin]

[SO LONG AS IT'S A FUN FAIL FIGHT...]

say awful SAY AWFUL

[having very quickly lost her key on her first day in Splendor Tink has taken to living at large around the gardens of the Wonderland and Golden districts. It suits her well enough: she can hide herself away in charming little nooks and crannies and snoop on the more interesting citizens of Splendor as they went about their business.]

[this man (possibly pirate, with all that hair on his horrid old face) didn't exactly count as 'interesting' and Tinker Bell had only been watching him our of pure boredom as she lazed around in the garden. It was a very nice garden, she thought, and she had had a tremendous time investigating all the plants that Arabia had been caring for. But the mention of a new flower had sparked her interest and the little fairy darted in for a closer look.]

What, don't you know what it will be?

[stillnotouchie]

[ Rob jumps inelegantly to one side as the fairy suddenly comes into view, daftly staring at her for a long moment. ]

Uh... Good god. Is she a fairy? She looks like a fairy! She's tiny and glowing! Er, no! It's... a bit of a mysterious bean, but I thought planting it would be the best course. She's glowing!

[firstlaugh]

Oh! How ridiculous!

[it was a reply that she thought adequately addressed everything that Rob had said/thought. She was so pleased with her retort that she performed a delighted little dance in mid-air as she added with a savage, tinkling laugh:]

What a ridiculous man you are! Fancy not knowing a fairy when you see one!

[stillnotouchie]

[ ... ]

Oh, dear. [ IT MUST BE NORMAL FOR FAIRIES TO HEAR THOUGHTS ] I'm terribly sorry! I- well, I did assume you must be a fairy, but I've never actually met one before... And I doubt many people have! Ah, christ- well, not where I'm from, anyway!

[ A nice save? PERHAPS IT MIGHT BE. ]
