[If you're wandering around the castle you may stumble upon Apollo lounging on one of the couches, absently flipping through the pages of his journal. If you pause to watch him for a minute you may see him start to tear blank pages out from the back of the journal and start folding the pages into different shapes.

He's focused and quick and after a few minutes he has about a dozen awkwardly folded cranes scattered around him on the couch and the floor. If you're close enough you might even hear him mutter something like 'what kind of magical castle doesn't have TV?']

[Rory is doing just that. When she spots the origami surprises for her. She moves closer.]

On you way to being a regular Sadako, aren't you?

[ And then she catches... ]

Wait, there's no television? At all?

[He glances up from the paper in his hand and gives her a depressed look.]

Nope. And if this place does have one it's hidden well. I'd try wishing for one but...I've heard this place likes to charge for its service.

Oh. [ Now she gets it. ] You thing there are consequences to the wishing. Could you watch somebody else's wished television? Sounds to me like a loop-hole.

So I get someone else to wish for a TV and they have to later pay for it. [He raises an eyebrow.]

Sounds a little cold hearted.

Is there cemented proof everyone is paying for the wishing they're doing? And they wished it up themselves beforehand. They probably all ready paid for it.

[Have a Courage peeking from around a couch at what you're doing.]

[solar-absorber.livejournal.com]

[He feels eyes on him and looks up, catching Courage's eyes.]

Oh hello.

[He blinks a couple of times but otherwise doesn't look surprised by Courage's appearance. He's seen a lot of weirder things.]

[loveablecoward.livejournal.com]

[Normal hello. Odd around here, but it helps him feel a little braver. Okay so it makes him feel less intimidated, which is not quite the same thing, but details.

He steps out from behind the couch and approaches the crane farthest away from Apollo. He picks it up and examines it before laughing. He plops down on the floor to play with it.]

[And now the little pink dog is laughing. He finds it...pretty endearing actually.]

You like them? I learned to make them out of a article I read in a crafts magazine once.

[He's not really sure why he's saying all this except the need to socialize is ingrained in him. He doesn't even know if the dog can talk.]

[pausing to look at all those cranes...]

Tee-vee? I've not heard of that.

[solar-absorber.livejournal.com]

[He looks up and nods a greeting.]

You haven't? Well...it's like a rectangular shaped machine that plays movies and news and stuff like that.

...Though I guess you probably don't know what those are either.

[knifestorm.livejournal.com]

Just news. [of course, her idea of news involves the printing press and word of mouth] But what would be so special about something like that?

[solar-absorber.livejournal.com]

Entertainment purposes mostly. Plus it acts as a way to bond people. If everyone is watching the same shows and movies it gives them things in common.
