009 ~ exsisto hilaris quod imbibo

[its-worthdoing.livejournal.com]

[in room 1510 Willow & Tara are throwing an impromptu Engagement Party for Xander and Anya. It's a small gathering that no doubt will grow bigger and louder and such. She's asked the castle for the decorations rather than just making them since she's trying to prove to Tara that she's not like she was before with Magicks. Xander is bringing the dip, but the rest of it is all castle provided and the door is wide open]

Looks good to me!

Hey Dino...

You're alright, right..? I guess there's something I should probably tell you too.

[A sigh, then added in as an after thought] First a rock, an empty town, and then noises? Is everyone even hearing the same ones?

III - SHR;

[clawsofadragon.livejournal.com]

...Something isn't right.

I'm not well-versed here by any means, but I do know that something's going on.
Everyone else seems like they can feel it too.

It's not just coincidental.
It all started with that 'rock'.

...I'm going to find out what it is.
And stop it.

I went to go to bed last night and there was a fish doing loopdy loops over my pillow. ... I did not ASK the castle for a magic rainbow flying fish, but it's still pretty sweet. I haven't come up with a name for him yet, but I will. It kinda needs to be perfect. I still had some cotton candy from the beach left over, so I fed it that, this morning. ... WHAT, don't look at me like that. Do YOU know what you feed rainbow fish? I didn't think so!

... Also, whoever keeps singing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star through the journals, all morning? Quit it. And whoever's directly above me on the 8th floor really needs to stop dragging whatever-it-is around the floor. It isn't just annoying, it's creepy. Don't be that guy. Nobody likes that guy.

And can someone tell me why we're staging World War 4 over a ROCK, outside? Seriously, you guys woke me up with all your yelling. UNCOOL.

That was really weird yesterday, wasn't it? I had this really bad feeling like something terrible was going to happen... But it's gone now. Maybe it was just the castle trying to freak us all out. I don't know.

Can't let a little uneasy feeling get us scared! Right?!

Aiya. Huaile.*

How can a whole town just up an' disappear? Ain't like they're not from here an' got sent home like Simon did.

At first I was gonna say I felt better today than yesterday, but that just don't seem right at all, an' I'm forced t'think it can't mean nothin' good.

Things keep bangin' all around, too, and scuttlin' like there's somethin' in the walls.



*Something's wrong.

014;

[i-findthem.livejournal.com]

[Molly's usually up and going around seven to eight o'clock in the morning. dressed, teeth squeaky clean, hair brushed and ready for breakfast. except today, she wakes up right at noon, head groggy and stomach growling. she didn't sleep that much last night; too many sounds she couldn't decipher--some as if it were a voice that was softly whispering in her ear and some far away--and racket made for a very poor attempts at sleep. the fact she didn't crawl into Mohinder's bed still amazes her. it makes her a little proud, too, even if it was a consequence to finally falling asleep in the wee hours of the morning and waking up much later than her body is used to.

but the uneasiness doesn't really fade; not for Molly who, on a normal day, is deeply paranoid; she only hides it well, because she's good at hide and seek. given the fact that it's only been days for Molly since Matt saved her from Maury's mental clutches makes yesterday seem---harsher. still, though she still isn't the ray of sunshine known as Princess Molly to Paradisa, she feels a tiny bit better.

Molly really wants the noises to stop though; she knows she'll feel a lot better when they do. she picks up her ~magic journal~, biting her bottom lip as she taps her pencil on the parchment--tap, tap, tap--before writing]

I couldn't sleep last night. I hope most of you got to, it wasn't very fun at all. [and there goes the sounds again, making Molly jump, nearly dropping her journal. however, it's still in her lap, so she continues] Hopefully tonight and tomorrow night will be different. I don't like sleeping so late.

[pauses. tap, tap, tap goes her pencil]

And...I'm sorry for anything weird I said yesterday; I was just scared. [is still a v. firm believer in the "something bad is happening" theory, but, keeps quiet. can slightly fake being 100% sane, even if she's around 50-to-60% today] It still wasn't right and I'm very sorry for it.

[onlyamasochist.livejournal.com]

[So she's freaked out and Chuck probably is too they've been wrapped up in each other and keep talking about being social and networking and then they kiss which leads to staying in his room. She's going to go out and meet more people soon. She even forgot about her intention of giving Zack a makeover. That's what ... never mind. Of course now there's pandemonium going on and she has absolutely no idea what to think. Sentient Castle is a big enough concept for her to grasp - and she hasn't totally - so this is weird that's just beyond her level of conception]

So I'll try to refrain from the obvious thing that everybody's said ad-nauseum. But ... I'm from the Upper East Side. You know Manhattan, New York. People don't just go missing and rocks don't just ... show up.

So ... Does anyone know what's going on or is that a moot question to ask?

And what the hell are those noises?

[connectedtoevil.livejournal.com]

Well this place certainly doesn't lack for entertainment at least. If it's not group marriages it's everyone thinking that there's a cult of rock protecting people sprouting up.

I've seen cults and in general they tend to take in the townspeople, not make them vanish.

Well okay the really good cults make people vanish, but more in a giant flying spaceship came to take us to the comet sort of way.

[a pause]

All the local shoe stores still have enough sneakers? Castle running low on Kool-Aid yet?

☲ 004 ☲ hope so

[biomom]

Well with all the chatter over the journals you'd think it really is the end of the world. Though with the slight rush of people getting sent home you have to wonder if the castle plans ahead like this or not.

[a pause since really if anyone is going to be dumb enough to believe in whatever any cult is spouting it's Flint...]

Anyone seen my brother around? Not that you should actually go looking for him, but I'm just shocked he hasn't gotten himself into some sort of trouble since the last time I spoke to him.

Great and now we have a deserted city. And I mean ‘oh man, here comes a nuclear attack, everyone in the bunker now, drop what you’re doing and run’ deserted. I'll try to keep Caritas open, I just hope the Sanctorum spell holds so at least it still works as a safe place.

I’m liking this whole deal less and less, guys. My powers aren’t working right and the last time that happened... well, it wasn’t pretty and some things just don’t need repeating. Ever.

At least the general bad vibe’s lifted. It’s not fun being an empath when everyone around you is freaking out.

[it had been a restless night when it was intended to be a night fit for a prince.

he had remembered being doted on by those who had frequented the palace. the same people who had scorned him years ago were now giving him looks of amiable nature, willing to cater to his needs, and revere him as someone who could quite possibly be Fire Lord some day. it was something he had coveted for as long as he could remember, and now that the Avatar had been ended, he could have a peaceful night.

or so he thought. as always, visions of his mother faded in and out amongst flickering flames that engulfed his mind, the same dragons whispered in familiar voices, willing him to listen their calls. he would listen... until the blue dragon spat fire in his face.]

Because between you and me, Awesomeness Committee and other magic journal people types out there in wherever land that haven't disappeared ... [proudly] I'm drunk. And that's the best way to do karaoke. So let's hit it up!
