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.

[He takes her good hand.]

What are you in the mood for?

[loisfuckinglane.livejournal.com]

If I say 'everything in the kitchen', how much will that compromise my 'delicate feminine image'? [Smirk.]

[supes]

Delicate? [he raises his eyebrows, teasing.] Are you sure you didn't bump your head out there, Lois?

[loisfuckinglane.livejournal.com]

[She still has one perfectly accessible fist to smack you with.]

I'll take that as a 'no, Lois, it won't compromise it at all'.

[supes]

[So loving.]

That's what I said. Sort of.

[loisfuckinglane.livejournal.com]

[It's how she shows true affection.]

I thought so. [Her hand squeezes his as she tugs him towards the door.]

Which way's the kitchen?

[supes]

[He leads her on.]

This way.

[He should know, he helped build them!]

[loisfuckinglane.livejournal.com]

So are these usually empty or do people stay out here?

lj, when i hit post, POST

[supes]

For the most part, they stay empty. There are a couple people, like Rin, who spend most of their time out here, but most of us stay at the castle. I haven't been at this outpost since it was under construction.

:C kick it

[loisfuckinglane.livejournal.com]

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

/PUNT

[supes]

Best look at the night sky there is.

That'll teach it.

[loisfuckinglane.livejournal.com]

And here I thought you provided that.

Take that, LJ.

[supes]

I just get you a mile or so closer.

LJ: /shuts down for another 3 hours

[loisfuckinglane.livejournal.com]

I guess I could just be biased.

NO LJ NO

[supes]

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.

LJ: /eats your keywords and community tags >:3

[loisfuckinglane.livejournal.com]

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?

i would cry if we lost the community's tags. CRY.

[supes]

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.

it ate my group's musebox comm tags & we feared it was permanent

[loisfuckinglane.livejournal.com]

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

i am terrified of that

[supes]

[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.

we were like 'what if this happened to a major comm? kajfa;fj'

[loisfuckinglane.livejournal.com]

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

i am still working

[supes]

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

aww well if you still need help, poke me with a list

[loisfuckinglane.livejournal.com]

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

AHAHA I FORGOT TO FINISH THAT it was "I am still working on compiling a list for the next round". XD

[supes]

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

THAT MAKES MORE SENSE

[loisfuckinglane.livejournal.com]

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

i'm a genius

[supes]

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.
