[Light pen tapping]

If the ghosts are gone, who is taking care of the castle? Are books being put away on their shelves? Is the kitchen being tidied? Are the gardens being weeded? She thinks the ghosts would be upset if they came back to a messy castle.

Mostly though, Dee doesn't know if she should go down to the library or not. She would not like to do her writing there if it was in a state of disarray.

Perhaps they should learn to appreciate mess.

[dreamwalkerdee.livejournal.com]

Why?

[proxyhorseman.livejournal.com]

[dictated]

Why not?

[dreamwalkerdee.livejournal.com]

Mess gets in the way. It interferes with things.

[proxyhorseman.livejournal.com]

[dictated]

And cleaning is a waste of time.

[dreamwalkerdee.livejournal.com]

Mm. One that is created by mess.

[proxyhorseman.livejournal.com]

[dictated]

A cycle, if you will.

[dreamwalkerdee.livejournal.com]

It would be an easy cycle to break, if no mess was created in the first place.

[proxyhorseman.livejournal.com]

[dictated]

Or everyone stopped cleaning.

[dreamwalkerdee.livejournal.com]

Which would lead to a whole new set of problems.

[proxyhorseman.livejournal.com]

[dictated]

New?

[dreamwalkerdee.livejournal.com]

New in regards to the situation. I'm sure disease and such are among the older things in every world.

[proxyhorseman.livejournal.com]

[dictated]

I would think it a pleasant change.

[dreamwalkerdee.livejournal.com]

To each their own.

[loluronfire.livejournal.com]

The library can't be that bad, I haven't heard anyone bitching about it yet.

[dreamwalkerdee.livejournal.com]

Dee cannot be sure, but yes... if no one has complained, then perhaps it is still in fairly good order?

Ah... [arrow drawn up to 'bitching'] Is that sort of language truly necessary, dear?

[loluronfire.livejournal.com]

Did someone outlaw it while I wasn't paying attention?

[dreamwalkerdee.livejournal.com]

It is considered poor manners to use vulgar language, particularly over a medium in which many can see it. There are children in the castle, dear, and others who do not appreciate such harsh words.

[loluronfire.livejournal.com]

Well, there are plenty who don't mind.

Besides, the kids are gonna learn it sometime, why delay the inevitable?

[dreamwalkerdee.livejournal.com]

It would not be inevitable if people would mind their manners.

[loluronfire.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but it's also inevitable that people won't.

[dreamwalkerdee.livejournal.com]

It is attitudes like that which make it inevitable.

[loluronfire.livejournal.com]

Guess it is, isn't it?

[dreamwalkerdee.livejournal.com]

[A pause, then a sigh]

Dee is sorry. She did not mean to preach her opinion, dear.

[loluronfire.livejournal.com]

Eh, I'm used to it.

[dreamwalkerdee.livejournal.com]

♥

May she know your name, dear?

[loluronfire.livejournal.com]

It's Pyro.

[mirror-kyoji.livejournal.com]

I'm sure there are some people diligently cleaning away. It's habit for some of them.

As for the public areas, I'm not quite sure if they're being cared for as well as they were when the ghosts were here.

[dreamwalkerdee.livejournal.com]

That is good. In a place this size, if cleaning was neglected entirely the result could be quite awful...

[mirror-kyoji.livejournal.com]

Indeed. How would we ever be able to walk down the halls? Especially with some of the mannerisms floating around this castle.

[dreamwalkerdee.livejournal.com]

Mm. I suppose Dee will just have to hope that the people here are good and pick up after themselves until the ghosts return.

How is the Observer this evening~?

[mirror-kyoji.livejournal.com]

As I said, I'm sure someone else would probably pick up after some of them anyway.

This evening? I'm doing fine. Anticipating what might happen next, observing the tenants' games, the usual. And what of the Dream Walker?

[dreamwalkerdee.livejournal.com]

It is very good that you keep yourself entertained. ♥ Dee is going to work on her stories soon, which is why she inquired about the cleaning.

[mirror-kyoji.livejournal.com]

The castle residents provide it, and it'd be against my job description if I didn't observe it.

oh? Still working on those? How are they coming along?

[dreamwalkerdee.livejournal.com]

Lemons into lemonade~

She is still working on them! She almost forgot while was human, and then once the ghosts disappeared, but she has remembered again. She is almost done the first story~

[mirror-kyoji.livejournal.com]

Quite.

Hmmm... Good luck on the completion of that story then, Dream Walker.

[dreamwalkerdee.livejournal.com]

[Spider-legged heart]

Thank you dear~
