[After waking up in a strange room with no sign of his daughter Jenny, Apollo decided to explore the room to see if he can find any hints of where he is. It doesn't take long for him to discover the journal and flip through it curiously. While flipping through he picks up fragments like 'castle' and 'Paradisa'. It seemed to be the only way of contacting people in the room. Now wasn't the time to be shy. He had his daughter to find.]

Hi. I don’t really know how you’re supposed to start writing these things. Never been the journal writing kind of guy unless you count that Dear Abby letter I wrote one time as a joke. Well, Midnighter thought it was a joke but that’s a whole other story. The bottom line here is I’m looking for my daughter. She’s got long brown hair and brown eyes. She’s eight but she acts like she’s going on thirty. Anyone seen her?

And Jenny, if you’re reading this respond ASAP and tell me where you are. I don’t know what’s going on but I plan to find out.

[That said he closed the journal and carried it with him when he left the room. He wasn't going to get answer any quicker by just sitting around.]


[ooc: Open to any part of the castle you want to find him wandering around.]

Heh, I must admit it makes it more difficult in that my world did not have such things. And even if they did, I do not think I would ever visit one. My meals were always prepared for me and served.

[solar-absorber.livejournal.com]

Well that's pretty much what they do. The workers cook the food and then give it to you. But if you have people doing that for you in the comfort of your own home, then I guess you wouldn't need to visit one.

[wishmadeinfire.livejournal.com]

Oh, then I suppose not. Not to mention I do not think my guards would enjoy me having food made by strange hands.

[solar-absorber.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it's probably for the best. Fast food doesn't have a reputation of being the greatest food around. Not that it's likely someone would poison your meal but...there's a reason no one asks what the stuff is made of.

[wishmadeinfire.livejournal.com]

Ah well, I shall be sure to avoid it then if it ever appears here.

[solar-absorber.livejournal.com]

I doubt it will. Unless someone wishes for McDonald's or something.

[wishmadeinfire.livejournal.com]

McDonald's? This is the name of such a place?

[solar-absorber.livejournal.com]

One of the more popular ones, yes. You also have Burger King, Jack In The Box, and my favorite In-N-Out.

[wishmadeinfire.livejournal.com]

_{[He shook his head]}

Such strange names, these places - these 'fast foods'.

[solar-absorber.livejournal.com]

The worst part is the people who come up with the names think they're being clever.

[wishmadeinfire.livejournal.com]

_{[He shook his head.]}

These modern worlds - sometimes I am glad mine own world is not like them.

[solar-absorber.livejournal.com]

[He grins.]

It's not all bad. Most of it is a matter of convenience which can be a double edged sword.

[wishmadeinfire.livejournal.com]

Like what? Cars? Those things are death traps.

_{[He rode once, and though he sort of liked it, it still made his stomach queazy thinking on it.]}

[solar-absorber.livejournal.com]

Not if the driver is careful. Most cars are quite safe as long as you don't crash into anything. But I prefer to fly.

[wishmadeinfire.livejournal.com]

You can fly?

[solar-absorber.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it's one of my abilities. It's quite useful for a lot of things.

[wishmadeinfire.livejournal.com]

I would imagine so. It will be useful here, in certain situations.

[solar-absorber.livejournal.com]

What kind of situations?

[wishmadeinfire.livejournal.com]

_{[He was silent a moment, biting his lip, it seemed and then sighed.]}

This place is not so peaceful as it looks. There are tears and strife and blood.

[solar-absorber.livejournal.com]

I kind of figured. No place that makes you pay in the way it does can be as great as it seems. There's got to be dark reason or a hidden agenda under all this magic and comfort.

[wishmadeinfire.livejournal.com]

Sometimes it is not the castle that does these things. It is the people here that do them.

_{[He took a bit of duck and ate it, swallowing thickly.]}

It is like home, personally. I am used to warring, though the difference lies in that the people here are not all united or friends or even from the same worlds.

[solar-absorber.livejournal.com]

There's bad eggs in every group. Not surprising really. Sometimes people's biggest enemies is themselves.

[He leans back in his seat and watches Ashura thoughtfully.]

Maybe that's something that needs to be rectified. We're all in the same boat after all. But that's easier said then done.

[wishmadeinfire.livejournal.com]

Precisely. We should, at the least, I think, try and organize groups and understand who can fight how and train people to defend themselves.

[solar-absorber.livejournal.com]

You have a better view on the people who are here. Do you think they'd agree to be a part of these groups?

What comic is Apollo from anyways?

[wishmadeinfire.livejournal.com]

Some might and some might not. It is so different between their pride and their customs that it is hard to tell and often times none of know much about each other's worlds.
