[Snake throws his cigarette to the ground, it burns out slowly. He then crouches and touches his neck just below his ear.]

Otacon, what is this place?... Otacon! Do you read me?

[he pushes himself against a wall, peaking around a corner looking down one of the long castle halls]


Looks like I'm going solo on this one.

Kenshin: Rurouni. This unworthy one is a rurouni, with no family or profession. A wandering swordsman.

Jineh: Afterall, a hitokiri is a hitokiri until the day he dies.

Kaoru: I didn’t say I wanted Battousai to stay! I want the Rurouni—

Okubo: Himura… Shishio is plotting rebellion in Kyoto.

Shishio: In this world, the flesh of the weak is food for the strong.

Dying guy: My brother… and the village… Save them from Shishio’s men…

Kenshin: … to the government, to Shishio and to all the people who have a grudge on him from the past the Battousai is all he’ll ever be.

Shishio: As you are… you could not possibly defeat me.

Kenshin: All this unworthy one needs is the strength of a rurouni to protect those who are important to him. He no longer needs the strength of a hitokiri.

Shinta: … but I was the only boy and we didn’t have any parents. I thought even if it cost me my life, I had to protect them. But…

Shishio: Rather than bear the disgrace of living in shame, I think it better you die with glory here! You will leave behind your name in the new history I create!

Soujirou: Why didn’t you protect me back then? If what you say is right,
why didn’t anyone protect me?

Shishio: You’re soft, Battousai. The fight isn’t over.

Kenshin: Thank you for everything that you’ve done for him… and… Goodbye. This unworthy one is a rurouni. And once again, he will wander…

Saitou: The fate of this village… will be the fate of all Japan in Shishio’s new era. People will be controlled with terror and violence. They will seek only to survive, losing all honor and dignity.

Kenshin: Okubo-dono was assassinated this morning. The real killer was on of Shishio’s men. Now that this unworthy one knows how Shishio does things, he cannot leave him alone…

Hiko: A sword is a weapon. Kenjutsu is the art of killing. Whatever pretty words you use, this is its true nature.

Kenshin: As long as he has one sword, he can protect the people around him.

Soujirou: I don’t care who’s right! I’ll kill you with the next attack!

Kenshin: He has no intention of leaving his name in yours or any history. The only thing he wants to leave behind him is the peace that came of this violence!

Shishio: I’ll make this country strong. Justice will be served with the country is mine.

Kenshin: But the age you want, forcing pain on the weak who are doing their best to live… As long as there’s breath in his body,
he will not allow this to happen!

Soujirou: If you don’t want to die too, it would be best not to defy Shishio-san.

Hiko: You may have gotten better with the sword, but your spirit hasn’t grown at all ever since you were fourteen, baka deshi. Carrying wounds that cannot be erased, on your left cheek and your heart, you’re unstable, teetering between the hitokiri and one who has sworn never to kill again.

Hiko: What’s your name, boy?
Shinta: Shinta.
Hiko: That’s no name for a swordsman. From now on, your name is Kenshin.
Shinta: Ken… shin…

Kaoru: Kenshin... We’ll all go back to Tokyo… together.
Kenshin: Of course…

[ooc; Hiatus? Pfft... Well, I wanted to get something else up. Still not what I wanted, but it will have to do. Have rapidly changing scenes from the last two months of the rurouni's life. AMV is more for reference than anything. As before please ignore music, normal sounds would be staticy or muffled, and above quotes are spoken (or screamed as the case may be) over top of whatever is visually there. I believe the rurouni wants to know when he gets to just have a freaking conversation with the cheese guy... lol... And now... I'm going to crash and catch tags in the morning *headdesk* please don't hate me, lol

EDIT: Oh yeah! As far as the visual references go there in that vid? IGNORE THE USE OF THE OUGI because Kenshin totally doesn't remember it >>... Permanent loss and all >> << >>]

[the Doctor's dream has changed, truly and utterly; you step in scorching shadows that smell of blood, stumble over corpses (some are strangers; some are old friends), hear desperate screams and deafening gun shots and furious roars

he is running through it all, bruised and bloody and battered, trying desperately to save a friend, and they keep changing, from a girl he can't remember to a boy he knows only after death to a man he should want to kill; sometimes he's carrying a vial, and sometimes he isn't

you may stumble into a burning lab, holding a mutilated madman and a pale, prone figure; it might even be you

every time he reaches the surface, the dream loops, and he's in the caves once more]


((Eventually, he'll be in the Eye again. Until then, have fun in the caves of Androzani. Mind the magma beast and try not to get shot.))

[Slight dream change.  All the people who were queued up are dead, laying on the floor with multiple gunshot wounds.]  


Not a good day for these folks.   Reminds me.  I really hope.   That someone.  In this place.  Is messed up enough.  To be dreaming.  Of a laundromat.

[OTT illiteration on every word.]

This is an interesting predicament.



[ooc: her dream has shifted a bit, and she's got restraints buckling her wrists to the armrests of her throne -- somewhat like the kind you'd see in a very old-fashioned asylum. Princess is a liiiittle stuck.]

[Dream shift! There's silence as Teresa steps into her room, surprised to see it's different, and then... she sees IT.]

... oh no.

[There's not one, not two, but MANY Narutos standing crowded together, like a sea of yellow hair. And slowly... one by one... they laugh until it's a chorus of randomly laughing Narutos. I'M SURE PEOPLE RECOGNIZE THAT VOICE DX]

--okay, this is really starting to get old. As if I don't have enough inner angsty teenage turmoil without having to watch it replay a thousand times in front of my face.

Any distractions would be great.

Okay. I like you guys and everything, but I'm seriously wanting my own room again. Still can't believe he saw me like that. That was so embarrassing... [visible if you squint] How much longer is this s'pposed to go on, anyway?

[interlude as he goes up to his room. The dream has changed since he's last been up. His room now looks like prom night. A slow dance is playing and Peter stands there watching all the other high schoolers. He doesn't have a date]

Oh, that's just great. [figures he might as well sit and watch it play out. His dream self is standing near the refreshments being ignored. Whenever he tries to ask a girl to dance they laugh at him and walk off]

Nooo...

My poor tentacle monster is sick.

Fuck, I shouldn't have fed him that guy-- [pause to retch]

And Holly's nowhere to be found and I didn't even get to introduce her to the tentacles.

Auuuuuuuugh.

One really begins to miss privacy after awhile...  I think even Pendragon is annoyed at using a litter box without greater privacy.

What's everyone's favorite part of this current living situation?

Geonosis. The sandy, desolate homeworld of that poor excuse for an archduke and the site of the first battle of these foolish Clone Wars. I suppose I should consider myself lucky to find myself in an empty arena, as opposed to being chained and awaiting execution as I was the last time I was on this planet.

[sigh]

I am in agreement with those who wish for this nonsense to be over. If there was any relevance held by this, it is long lost and many are being shown events that are best left forgotten.

(Alessa hasn't slept in nearly three days and it's starting to show. The following is accidentally dictated.)

As long as I don't sleep it can't happen. I can't be trapped by my ridiculous dream. This is all it is. Not real. Not real. Not real.

Daddy. I want my daddy back. Why'd you take him away?

Shut up! Shut your Goddamn mouth, or I'll destroy you!

You already have.

Please, Cheryl just be quiet, please?

Alright, Alessa.

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.
