[She stands in the hallway, fingers running her fingers across the nameplate on the door. Dressed in shorts and a dark green tank top, she looks more at home in the wilds of Indonesia than the castle. But the mused hair, slippers, and purple silk robe indicate that she, perhaps, recently awoke.]

This is not good.

[Her nose wrinkles at the plaque and, on second thought, she chooses to ignore it. It is more important to find out who is responsible for removing her from her tent sometime during the night.]

Booth and Hodgins have both claimed that practical jokes are supposed to be entertaining. If this is a joke, I do not find it very funny.

[She glances down to the journal she had found by the bedside table in the room, partially opened by a thumb acting as a bookmark. Brennan shakes her head and then continues down the hall.]

Well, we have been. It's called Paradisa and it ... collects people. The castle is somewhat sentient.

[truthin-bones.livejournal.com]

Castles are not sentient.

And worlds do not collect people.

[zone-of-truth.livejournal.com]

Both of those things are true here. Try ... asking the castle for something tangible. I know it seems a little ridiculous, but it should work.

I - would like an orange.

[She feels foolish as she holds out her hand. But when the orange appears seconds later, she gasps loudly.]

This... cannot be possible.

In order to live in the castle, Doctor Brennan, you may have to accept some conclusions that you might not be comfortable with.

I would very much like to know what level of technology is behind this. The instantaneous relocation of matter has not been successful past the sub-atomic scale.

You're welcome to investigate in the library, but I don't think you're likely to find anything.

[truthin-bones.livejournal.com]

I only want a rational explanation.

[zone-of-truth.livejournal.com]

I'm afraid I don't have one.

[truthin-bones.livejournal.com]

Thank you for your help then, Dr. Sweets.

[zone-of-truth.livejournal.com]

You're welcome, Doctor Brennan. Be careful.
