Is anyone else worried those things are still out there and we still don't have any way to defend ourselves?

I know the inn's been safe so far, but it's not like we can stay inside forever.

It was just a thought! It's not like I actually want more things around attacking us anyway! :P

We got held hostage by a living castle once though. It was a lot of getting strangled by clothes and hit in the mouth with mini-quiches. Plus she had living suits of armor pointing axes at us. She even threw a whole mattress at me!

You know... as unpleasant as the rest of that sounds, I think I would endure it for the mini quiches.

What does the inside of a living castle look like? Flesh or stone?

[chickenchoicejudy]

Honestly, not as fun as it sounds. picture like, a batting cage but the baseballs are mini quiches and you don't have a bat. ...or use of your hands.

Stone! Her name was Morgan. Mostly she just looked like a regular castle except there was this big booming voice from nowhere and she could move stuff inside her around? She wasn't all bad but she was REALLY pissed off at the time.

I don't know what those are, but I'm assuming I would still have my mouth...! [they are just being a brat right now.]

How fascinating! I can't imagine it was too pleasant, though. All manner of heavy and sharp objects could be in a castle... Luckily, we eventually got the both of you here in one piece!

[chickenchoicejudy]

Oh, right. uhhh...it's this machine that throws balls really fast, and you're supposed to take a bat and see how far away you can hit them. But it throws them SUPER hard so with the quiches it would be like POW POW POW POW POW in your face. You'd have a mouth but you might not have teeth anymore? Or a black eye or something.

[He's trying so hard to explain without explaining All of Baseball.]

Yeah! But luckily we got out way before we got here. Super long story. And honestly she chilled out a little by then anyway, sort of.

[After lowkey trying to kill them but at least she didn't stop them from leaving for real.]

Sounds fun! A sort of target practice. I suppose I would prefer the food be thrown at me a bit gentler.

How does one get an enchanted castle to "chill out?"

[chickenchoicejudy]

Apologizing to it, apparently!

Not us - we didn't wrong her. But the person who did finally apologized after avoiding it forever. It wasn't a cure-all, but it helped a lot.

Huh.

You know, that tracks, actually. ;)
