This this is definitely some weird form of fon technology. Doesn't look like anything from Auldrant, but I've also never seen anything like this in Yulia City.

...regardless.

Luke? Tear? Jade? Are any of you here, too?

Can anyone tell me where I am? A map, maybe? I'm... not exactly sure how I got here in the first place, but-- Well, I guess that doesn't really matter now that I'm here, although it would still be a nice bit of information. But... can someone show me the way out and back to Grand Chokmah? Baticul would be fine, too. Or really anywhere that isn't Daath that is convenient.

Damn.

How many people are here from The World now? Six? We should meet up and battle. It would be even teams! Or we could do one-on-one fights~

Come on, let's meet up! Not today, it's too late. Sometime later.

Same sounds and I guess it's still the same scenery day in and day out. I wonder if any of us are going to be stuck here for long than a year? Two years? Five? Ten? Twenty?

Not a pleasant thought, but it's a reality that must be considered. People leave, but others don't and some even come back, changed. To be stuck here while the prime of my life goes by wasted. So this is my punishment.

In Greek mythology, the first woman ever brought into existence was named "Pandora". Each of the many Greek gods helped create her by giving her unique gifts. Some of the gods helped create her with the intention of punishing mankind for their theft of the secret of fire, but Zeus decided to test her fate before making his final judgment.

Zeus gave her a beautiful box, around which was carved the history of the world, and he said to her, "I trust you, Pandora, as I have made you in my favor, but whatever you do, do not open this box."

They sent her to earth where she stayed among mankind with her gifts and her box. For a few days she ignored the box entirely, but after a while, she began to grow curious. What was inside the box? Could it be power? Knowledge? Treasure? She wondered about the box for weeks, obsessing over it, trying to think of ways to see what was inside without opening it.

Eventually she became so fascinated with the box that she decided to open it just a little, just enough to get a glimpse of what was inside. The second she opened the lid, however, the box flung open with the force of a storm and all the evils of mankind--greed, vanity, slander, envy, pining--rushed out of the box, skittering across the world and staining every aspect of mankind.

By the time Pandora was able to close the box, the only thing that remained within it was hope.

I believe I owe a sincere apology after neglecting to establish communication since my return to adulthood. My poor excuse is that reliving those gentle, childhood days was more draining than it appears and I was not in the pinnacle of my health. Nevertheless, those times are in the past and I have recovered my true age. Fortunately, I was able to celebrate and come to a Lent resolution by Ash Wednesday. Penitence I will surely maintain until the end of the period.

This must have been one of the losses you have kindly reported me, Father Tres. While others have vaguely an idea of what transpired during such, I am aware of everything. Thank you all for your sympathy and patience during the trying week. After what I observed and known others endured, I suppose something like this should be considered mild, especially taking on account I was safe.

I would like to show my gratitude to those gentlemen who delivered flowers during Saint Valentine’s Day. The lack of a proper present as response is not caused by accidental absent-mind and rudeness of my part, but the fact only lovers and couples celebrate this date in my country, you see, it isn't befitting to offer tokens to friends. Although, I was impolite by this delayed answer; I should have explained my silence earlier.

Since I'm bored and hate coming up with deep meaningful questions, and lets face it - this has got about the same amount of meaning...

[sound of a coin flipping]

Heads or tails?

And to make it slightly more interesting - get it wrong and you either gotta say something about yourself yo~

Ah, what a nice new day. Same as usual, the sun is shining, the birds are singin', and a vampire is musing philosophically on the journal network. Zelman, you crazy man, you. If only I was the type who actually thought about that sort of thing.

Thanks for chaperoning us, by the way. That was...nice of you. Next time you won't be needed, though.

But on to you, beautiful Akito. Ah, rarely have I seen actual women who have your blend of charm and beauty. Of those I have, most are right here in the City. I hope you had as good a time out on the town as I did, because I hope to go out with you again at some point.

Agito, wherever you are out there, I appreciate you NOT intruding on our trip. Things could've gotten ugly and I don't want that on Akito's mind.

In other news, what's up Azula? You still affected or what?

{recorded sound of papers and books being shoved around and a very frustrated sigh}

{dictated mutter} An entire library on any subject you can imagine and nothing at all...

{a few hesitant pen taps then switched to writing}

Anyone that has demons or anything close to that where you come from... {pause} How do you break a deal with them? I mean break it without losing the original trade? New deal, ritual of some sort, anything at all you can tell me... Just some sort of idea on what might be able to be done.

Does anyone here find blonde women pretty?
[identity profile] petiteaveugle.livejournal.com
I'm in the library. It's quiet in here, and I like it. The chairs are so soft.

I wandered in here because as much as I like being outside, I get bored and hungry. Sometimes even I need a little downtime. Those fights I had were fun and all, but I just need some time for myself.

[Pause, then the sound of flipping through pages of a book, then in a sarcastic tone;] These are real interesting. Are they even worth your time? Why would people stay in here and read rather than go outside and do actual stuff?

Sometimes I wonder if I'd be any different if I could see. Obviously, I would be, but I mean... Books. Fireworks. Faces. This castle. They're just words to me. I don't know what they look like, but do I want to know? Are they that special?

[A long pause as she takes in what she just said, then a scoff] Wow. What brought that on? Eh, whatever. I'll just keep stacking these books up 'til they reach the ceiling.

No intellectual questions from me tonight, I'm afraid. I'm certain the other countless entries before this one shall provide ample opportunity for you to attempt to use your pathetic minds in a vague attempt at sounding like you're more than base creatures. Simple minded, the lot of you.

[he begins furiously jotting down math and switches to a strained, annoyed dictation]

The few of you worth my time know who you are. Consider yourself exempt from the insult as, after all, it was not directed towards you. I'd hate to insult the allies I do have.

[the pen is stabbed into the page, the math ceases]

I've been here for far too long.

Thanks to everyone who suggested names for my cat last night. I'm still looking through them, but I'm sure I'll be able to figure something out now.

Speaking of thanks, thank you for all of the Valentine's stuff too. I'm finally starting to sort through it all...and I'm sorry I didn't get anyone anything. I'll make it up to you.

Star...I'm sensing a theme, with your gifts.


What I really wanted to ask though, is...would anyone be interested in taking art lessons? It'd be a constructive way to pass the time, at least, and I've already got one person interested. I can't do color, thanks to the castle, but I can do pretty much any drawing medium, photography, and painting to a lesser extent.

I suppose if you need an example of my work you can look back through some of my old entries? There's always the mural in the clinic waiting room too--I did the line work on it, and a friend did the actual painting.

...and I do have a degree and all that jazz.

Mio is bored.

Irritated.

All of the stories are boring today. No one has done anything interesting.

It's bad that everyone is so bored. It's bad that everyone is so boring.

It's been a long time since anything nice happened.

It's been too long. Mio doesn't want to wait anymore.

Mio doesn't want to wait at all. Mio shouldn't have to.


[ a long pause, then more loudly and in a sweet tone ]

Akito, Mio liked the unicorn, but it's broken now. Its skin tore, and it bled stuffing all over the carpet. She had to throw it out.

It was very disappointing.

About the Archive

"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.
