Man I'm bored. I totally forgot that I had this thing. With this place being so big and all, it's sorta easy to lose track of these sorts of little things.
... I don't remember exactly what happened, but you're still my dad. No matter what, even if you adopted me... you're the best dad ever and I hope you're okay. You have to be.
And here I was, worrying that I'd be bored. This book is just like a soap opera. Oh, so and so insulted me and thus we must destroy everything but each other! Oh, my dearest daddy is not here! Woe, let me brood and/or get smashed.
It's a real pity Angel isn't here, because he'd fit right in.
I cannot buy the kitten from the store and name it after its color.
I cannot see Kohaku's pink item.
I cannot go to the party.
[ooc: Nataku's just going to be using this icon. I'm sorry! And, it'll probably eventually be talked out of being utterly depressed! And then a wondrous log between Kohaku and Nataku about getting kittens! PROMISE! XD]
A Father's Day, too? Man, you people are weird. You got Grandma's Day and Grandpa's Day and Sister's Day and Brother's Day and Twelfth Cousin Twice Removed's Day too?
Uh. Well. HEY DAD, I miss you lots. You are awesome and thanks for teaching me how to use weapons and how to make useful contraptions like the stink-n-sink. And I hope you're proud, cuz I'm sixteen now AND going to continue the great Water Tribe bloodline (she's from the Northern Tribe, but that's okay) unlike your DAUGHTERokay maybe not anymore SOMEONE I know.
... I wonder... if the possibility of Cait still being in Gaia exists. Just because I lost him when I came here... doesn't mean he's gone for good. Surely not.
... hmmm. A party...? [ink blots where the pen taps the paper] Think I'll pass on that one.
((OOC: HOKAY PEOPLES. Certain people (Nataku, Lana, Dark, Vincent, Aelita, even Isshin and Sephiroth (because Reeve's a GIANT DORK that way), etc.- if you've expressed being upset about Father's Day, you're getting a gift~ Plush animals, to be precise- big fluffy teddy bears with little tags- 'honor the past, but live for the future'. :3 Feel free to assume you've gotten one if your pup is depressed. :( Nobody should be alone! ))
Kinda wish I was home right about now...I wonder what dad's up to right now...Colette too. Maybe I should make dad a present and give it to him when I get back. It'll at least give me something to do.
And now it's Father's day? And somehow, everyone's more maudlin over this than Mother's day? Why do you people do this to yourselves?
I wonder how that idiot Bontenmaru is getting along? He's the closest thing to... No, if the idiot ever found out you thought of him that way, it'd never end.
I never even thought of having a father before. The only one I knew of was Mother. Before I came here, I did not know a thing such as "father" even existed. Such a thing was not important. Now that I know of him, I often think about him. I wish I could see him again. There are so many things I would like to talk to him about. Perhaps he will come here. Perhaps not.
I think I understand what a real family is supposed to be.
Cain, did you hear? Today is a day to honor fathers! We should do something together! I think that would honor our father very much. He is not here but he would be very happy to see us working together.
...I never had one, I guess. Any memories I would have of one are fake, probably. It's...still weird knowing that I'm a replica, even though I just can't piece things together in my head.
Not that it's a big deal. Just wish I had something to do...
That holiday always did confuse me. I dunno' whether I should honor Zanguine, Karl, my real dad, or Sven. [transcribed snicker]
....[transcribed sigh] It's just not the same when Sven-chan isn't here so I can tease him. Well. Whatever. Happy Father's Day to all the Fathers...[transcribed:'Oh' as he sees Itachi's entry] that aren't hated by their kids...
{a few minutes of on-and-off laughing at all the Father's Day entries}
My father was an arrogant bastard who thought nothing of his own children, only his own name and reputation. How can I ever repay him? Oh, of course! I'll celebrate Father's Day!
Have a good Father's Day, Fugaku. In Hell, that is.
Who Abarai Renji ([Unknown site tag], Kuchiki Byakuya (kageyoushi), Yamanaka Ino (ireadurmind) What Ino wants to learn more about the (Soul Society) Shinigami, and Byakuya has offered to give a little demonstration~ Where Room 207, and then probably outside ... ? When Sometime today. Rating PG-13 at highest? >>;
All this discussion regarding biological fathers is... interesting. I can't remember who my parents were or what they were like, but apparently I'm not the only one affected by that sort of memory loss. It's something of a comfort not to be in the minority again.
I wonder if they're still out there somewhere, perhaps on another world I'm not familiar with. If they ever searched for me, if they had any other children... I may never know for sure. I suppose I shouldn't worry too much about the past.
Even's acting peculiar today so I'll be returning to my room to finish the notes we've been working on. I hope he feels better soon.[Strikes barely legible.]
[Filtered to Ino, Shikamaru, and anyone who is for sure on Ino's side, and especially filtered FROM the Twins, Soren, Murphy and Ruby~;]
Oi. If yer gonna make a message like that, filter it ta ONLY th' person yer talkin' ta. Less chance of spies tryin' ta sneak in 'n deceive ya ta get info fer th' enemies.
We can't let 'em get anythin' more than they might already have.
[Filtered to Shinigami;]
... if things get serious, I might need to ask for backup.
I know that I shouldn't, because it's not really something that all Shinigami should have to involve themselves in, but... she's my girlfriend. She's doing this because of something that happened to me, so I can't exactly abandon her.
To all the dads and fathers of Paradisa; the papas, the pops, the daddies and dadas; the 'old men', pappys, pas and das; the padrés, big daddies, pères and parents of the male persuasion, I bid you a good Father's Day. To the men without children... well, that's a shame. Those without a father in the castle to honour today, lift a glass and drink to their health, drink to their life or to their memory.
You know, we didn't have Father's Day on my planet. You hear all these things about Gallifreyans being brilliant and genius and unsurpassed and what have you, and they don't even have a day set aside for fathers. Just another reason why I love the human race; actually appreciating aspects of life that are usually taken for granted. Come to think of it, I know of one race that, shortly after birth, eats their fathers. Messy business.
Looks like the same thing that happened to Sora a while back happened to me. I would've remembered leaving this thing somewhere so it's not like I could've lost it just like that.
Kinda feels like I must've missed a ton of stuff in just a couple days, knowing this place~ 'Course, even if the book went missing, there was still the good old-fashioned way of talking to people face to face and paying attention to things going on around you to see 'em with your own eyes. ♥
Father's Day, huh? Well, I'm not a father or anything.
Somehow, I thought taking care of a dog was much harder than this is turning out to be.
Father's Day? Didn't realize.
[bit of a pause; a few pen taps...]
It's been a while since I've had anything of importance to say. I'm also rather bored. Is there anyone interested in either a competition of some sort in the game room or a fight outside? We could even turn it into a bet to make things more interesting if you wanted.
I feel like a great burden has been lifted from my shoulders. I don't know what it is; I just woke up feeling so refreshed. Of course there were a few mishaps this morning concerning someone and bed space and using an improper amount of covers for one person, but otherwise, I do feel quite good.
On other topics, today appears to be 'Father's Day'? I have never heard of such holiday. Likely it doesn't exist in my world. Not that it really matters. I don't remember any my family, if I had any.
I don't want to be stuck in today. I think I'll have a few drinks.
This feels too real to be a dream, even if it can't be real. But I've already tried pinching myself a couple of times to make sure I was awake and I guess that proves I can't be dreaming or it's just a really convincing dream!
[recorded footsteps]
Huh, this book's writing down what I'm saying? That's amazing! So this is a real magic book? [recorded poking-the-page sounds] Hi~! I'm Segawa Keiichi! Can anyone read this? I hope you don't mind if I take a look around here!
Paradisa seems to have a considerable amount of people with father issues. Possibly more issues branching from fathers than mothers, from the looks of it.
I'm sure Freud would have something to say about that... heh.
[Filtered from vexen] [dictated idly as if she's musing to herself]
I can small him out there. He's very close. I don't think.... I wonder if he left because he.... He'd tell me if he wanted me to leave wouldn't he? I wonder how long he'll stay away...
A lot of talk about father's day going around, Makes me wonder if I'll ever see my father again. Considering Luffy I have no doubt that I will some day. [only lightly scratched out]
Putting that aside I haven't seen Luffy or Zoro around for a while, anyone up to do something?
I guess this is goodbye. Tenth, thank you for the wonderful evening. It meant a lot to me. It meant more than a lot. Ah, well, you know.
Rose, you keep Theta (both of him) safe, alright? And a tip - keep a pair of dark sunglasses on you. If the Master can't see your eyes, he can't hypnotize you. Even if he pulls them from you, thats a few extra seconds to do something - and sometimes, that's all you need. Another thing: you know how when you kick a male human between the legs? What happens to them happens to Gallifreyans too. Use that knowledge if you have to.
Nataku, after this, don't talk to me anymore. It hurts to write that, but it's important. If I start talking to you, don't listen to me. Don't do anything I tell you to do. Don't tell me anything more about yourself. I don't want you to get hurt simply because I talked to you.
Well, I [the pen tip is violently ground into the paper. There is the sound of something snapping. Splotches of black ink drip and ooze across the area.
Dictated, calmly, though a somewhat strained calm.]
It appears I've broken my pen. No matter. I can always get a new one, can't I?
[The calm ceases, becomes more manic.]
My dear, dear Doctor - did you have fun? You should have known better. Koschei is DEAD! What you were talking with was a hobbled connection of synapses and memories, nothing more! The man I was died centuries ago! There is nothing left of him, nothing!
[Sounds of violence. Things thrown, smashed, destroyed, along with what could only be described as an enraged sort of inhuman growl.]
He's DEAD! Whatever is left of him, I will get rid of!
Why the bloody hell are we making such a big deal out of "Father's Day"? What's there to celebrate? He didn't give me anything but lechery, and that demon offspring excuse for a step-brother. The end of the world will come before this beautiful, drop-dead gorgeous body even remotely resembles that!
I hope you're happy, father. You send me out to find a bride and get me locked up in Creepy Castle, while you get to chase all those frilly skirts around.
Shitty old man.
[ooc: Lui's old man looks like that, by the way. x'D]
Despite the fact that everyone has a nameplate, I can only assume this is a mistake. I'm leaving the bear outside the door, for whomever was meant to find it.
[ Scribbled in alternating Jasdero-Debitt handwriting ]
Hey Tiki!
Jasdebi just noticed it's Father's Day and decided since all the lucky sperm back home are probably missing you (not like Daddy Hobo was around much in the first place) Jasdebi would give you a message from the illegitimate kids to you...
Happy Father's Day from all your bastard children~!
WAH. Father's Day! Ed lost her journal AGAIN so she didn't know!
Ed's Father-Person isn't here and Ed can't look for him, but she just knows that castle will bring him here! And then Ed can see him and Father-Person and Ed can do stuff and and and ...
Just me or was this place less depressing when we had thousands of zombies at our doorstep than it is today?
Chin up, Paradisa. Sure, lot of people got daddy issues. Some even have a lack-of-daddy issues. But! Least this holiday only comes once a year, and its almost over yo.
And until then, at least for you older folk? There's alcohol. So as the expression goes: Lets drink, and be merry. For tomorrow we will probably be in a lot of pain.
"Paradisa Lost" is the archive of what the journals contained between December 1st, 2006 and January 10th, 2012. On that final day, Paradisa issued new journals, so that the residents could fill them up again. While there are still residents around who have old journals, we have chosen to preserve the old journals here for muns' reference and history.
"Lost" in the title refers to both the old journals that the residents once kept, and also to our move to Dreamwidth from the original Livejournal community, where Paradisa started. It is a fresh start for muns, as well as for the characters.
