011 ♕ [voice/written]

[Lois had to admit: finding her journal just lying around waiting for her in the random forest was creepy. It had 'trap' written all over it. But she wasn't about to complain. Yet.

The first part of the entry is a recording:]

This is Lois Lane, and I'm with Lucy Saxon and Jo Harvelle. We're all in one piece, though currently about eight degrees left of lost in the middle of nowhere. We haven't seen any landmarks yet, but we've been sending up signals where we can, so those of you patrolling keep your eyes on the skies. According to Clark's stick trick, we're northeast of the castle somewhere.

More importantly, we ran into some... people out here.

People from ... the town, that is. I think they got dumped out here too, so whatever took us wasn't just doing it to castle residents. They weren't exactly the best conversationalists, given that they were practically talking in tongues, tripping over themselves to run back towards the castle and muttering stuff about how they needed to get there right now or else. "Or else what" we couldn't get out of them, because they got physical anytime we tried to restrain them to even talk to them. I'm thinking they've got that same pull we do towards the place, but theirs seems to be amped up to 800. Maybe someone should keep an eye out around the town for when they start getting back. You might be able to get more out of them then. [Assuming they make it back alive and don't run stupidly into a tree or something.]

And hey, Akihiko, you better not have been beating yourself up over me disappearing. That one was all me. [Do you hear that, Clark? Don't blame him. :| ]

... Not sure if anyone's mentioned this yet, so I'm curious to hear from the other people it happened to, but it sure felt like something had dropped us when we woke up.

[handwriting takes over then; it's jittery because Lucy's hand is shaking from the cold. November + outdoors + pajamas = incipient hypothermia]

I was taken in the morning, but I didn't wake up in the Dead Zone until nearly nightfall. I don't know if that's important at all, but I thought it would be worth mentioning too.

[Jo waits until Lucy is done and when the journal is handed to her, she balances it on her knee, holding it in place with her sprained wrist as she crouches low to the ground]

I was taken on Friday, right out’a the damn walk-in at the Lux. Last time I had checked the time it was about four-thirty, but I woke-up to pitch-black night. I tried to look for any of the other missing people… but I only found Lucy and Lois. [she won’t be mentioning that she is injured and she sure as Hell isn’t broadcasting that she killed an eight-legged sheep to survive either…]

I’m fine, though. [Sam, you can breathe now.] Just a bit worn out and ready for my wilderness adventure to be done.

I guess it's not like they afford much of a view.

Best look at the night sky there is.

And here I thought you provided that.

I just get you a mile or so closer.

I guess I could just be biased.

I wonder why. [Smile, into the kitchen they go.]

Someday I'll actually go up there and see how far I can get. I know others have tried to fly out of here but I've never gone myself.

What's happened to the people who tried? I mean there's some danger in dropping like a hot potato if you hit a Dead Zone border, isn't there?

Never asked. I know Prime tried, but as far as I know he was never dropping out of the sky. If there is a Dead Zone up there, his powers would kick in as soon as he fell into the powered area again.

Good point. Which is nice, since I'd rather we didn't end up with a Clark shaped crater around here.

[Oh, there have been a few of those already. He opens up a cupboard to look through. What do we have in the way of supplies, now...]

I have no plans to do any landscaping.

You mean you're not going to mow Paradisa's lawn while we're at it?

I think Paradisa would be a little insulted if a resident tried to "fix" its perfect beauty.

For an all powerful castle, it's pretty touchy.

You should see its "lectures" on responsibility or teamwork.

I think I'd rather pass, if it's all the same.

Some of them aren't so bad. We got stuck with roommates and floormates for a week, once, and we had to complete all sorts of weird, mundane tasks that all had that "teamwork" feeling.

Like building things out of office furniture?

Like decorating the front door, or putting together outfits for your roommate. Make a soda can tower with everyone else on the floor. Write about what we learned about friendship.

And did you keep your 'friendship essay', Clark?

It might be somewhere in my room.

Hmmm. Good to know.

[Mental note to dig it out for her sometime.]

There was a talent show, too, but I skipped that.

[Oh ho ho, her conversation with Kara returns to her now.]

Oh? Didn't have time to rehearse your big solo number?

What was I going to do, exactly?

Oh come on, he can fly, he can move faster than a speeding bullet, but he can't carry a tune in a bucket?

I doubt that.

:C kick it

/PUNT

That'll teach it.

Take that, LJ.

LJ: /shuts down for another 3 hours
