I'm not digging the remodeling job, castle. I can deal with the weird noises and crap, but how am I supposed to play video games when the lights keep flickering?

And the new furniture is really damn uncomfortable. I get the whole mechanical-chic thing, but a few cushions would be nice.

Also, do you think the castle could please stop replacing the background music of Team Fortress with Twinkle Twinkle Little Star? It doesn't fit the mood of the game.

[Feelings of unease? Morrolan can deal with that. It's something he's accustomed to, both on the battlefield and off. Noises he can ignore, because he's good at focusing his attention on one thing at a time and has managed, so far, to tune out the strangeness happening in the castle. But windows acting up? This is something else entirely.]

Sethra? Sethra! Can you hear me? [He reaches out, but then stops himself in time. There are things you shouldn't do, and poking your arm through a portal without knowing how it works is one of those things. So instead he grabs a paperweight and tosses it towards the "portal".

CRASH! Naturally, the window breaks. Morrolan is silent for a long moment, then draws the curtains.

Goodness, you all must have had terribly unsettling lives to be complaining this much. At the very least, there's a lot of mental repression going on around here. I suppose the basic psyche works the same across universes, too.

If any of you would like to do something useful, I'd suggest closing all the windows that haven't already been sealed off, and making sure any stragglers in town are inside the castle sooner rather than later. The atmosphere is starting to get a bit thin. If it keeps up, it'll be gone by sundown.

Huh..? Well, that was kind of weird--

[she then gasps, looking out the window at the sky]

There's nothing but space up there.

...

How cool!

[slept through most of the day, honestly, trying to get rid of the really, really awful hangover from last night. didn't even sleep very well, considering the noises that didn't go away, and the nightmares he couldn't remember. something about blood, and stars, and always an undercurrent of a horrible ripping noise. when he finally decides to roll out of bed, he decides on a shower to sober up completely, and heads to the bathroom. tosses off a comment to the journal as he walks by]

Okay, Triela? You were right. Drunk was a very bad idea. ... [heh] ... the karaoke was still worth it though. Totally.

[takes his shower, letting the hot water leech the soreness out of his bones, and gets out, wrapping up in a towel. there's a hissing noise from somewhere in the bathroom, but he ignores it, too intent on shaving to care. if he's going to be freaked out, he can at least look good doing it. reaches for the washcloth to swipe away at the mirror, and --- it's not his face looking back at him. it's Shannon. not the Shannon he remembers from his days at the coffee shop, but the Shannon he met just a few months before coming to Paradisa, older and stricter, and a mother. and she says the same things she said to him then, before she shoved him out the door: how shocked she is to see him this way, how disgusted she is - not just at herself for falling for his lines, the way she did What's His Face, but at how much he changed, just because someone told him no. just because he couldn't stand the thought of someone other than him changing his world. "Someday, Barney Stinson, the world is going to change again, and you're running out of people to be. I wonder if you'll be able to handle it." And then there's a crash, and more screaming from the bedroom, and when he whips his head around to look, Shannon vanishes. there's just him, in his bathroom, and the mirror. and a little stubble that he's not sure he feels like getting rid of, anymore. he goes out to the wardrobe, and looks at the rows and rows of suits. for a minute, he considers asking the castle for a pair of jeans and a t-shirt, something far more casual and colorful - something more like what he used to wear. but then he remembers what purpose the suits served to begin with, how well they helped him hide how her breaking up with him had hurt, and reaches for the first one his eyes settle on. suits up, and sits down on the edge of the bed, alternating between watching his fish do loops around his lamp, and watching people's journal entries appear.]

... So, guys. I'm not really keen on seeing things in my bathroom mirror again, and the sky is apparently gonzo. And I don't know about the rest of you, but ... [and his nonchalance falters, here, a bit] That's a little freaky. ... So I'm going to the library. With the candlestick. ... See some of you there.

[ John walks to his window after hearing about the things that everyone else has been seeing. He looks at it for a moment and doesn’t see a thing. ]

Crazy lot.

[ John blinks his eyes and soon as he opens them he seems something in the window. A former lover one that he actually cared about. Her name was Rain and he was seeing one of his last good memories with her. She is telling him how much he means to her and he was telling her the same. With most people it was just a con but he did truly love her, that was in his earlier days before he became as bad. Of course though she got caught up in one of the cons he was working and ended up getting shot. Something that he always blamed himself for to this day, part of the reason why he drinks so much and just doesn’t give a damn anymore. Though most of the time he’s forgotten about her. ]

It…it can’t be….

[ He takes a step back almost tripping over his own feet. Soon as he blinks again she’s gone. He can still hear her voice fading in the background. ]

This place has gone mad…

... Even the clouds have gone. The land above is naked and empty... and it should never be like that.

...I don't like this at all. Let's hope these days pass soon.

[Because the journal is mean, it's open to pick up the sound of gentle breathing of an entirely unsuspecting person. A few minutes later, the sound is joined by the quiet rattle of the doorknob, then a long silence... followed very shortly by the sound of someone being abruptly picked up.

A shrill scream follows, and someone thrashing around, the woman sounds part panicked and part completely enraged
]

W-What the...Let go of me! I-I mean it, unhand me right now you...you bastard!

[mischievous laughter] Really, now? Are you always this irritable when you're woken?

[Totally floored, she can't see you, but she'd recognize the voice anywhere]  Z-Z-Zelman-sama?!

[With the sudden changes in the castle Rebecca has moved beyond just mild paranoia. She was under the distinct impression that a sudden environment shift wasn’t going to be good for anyone’s health in the long run. Seeing Richard in the mirror in her wardrobe hadn’t helped sooth the uneasy feeling in the pit of her stomach. He was dying, asking her for help and she couldn’t do anything but watch him die. She didn’t have the right serum and the poison coursing through his body was slowly killing him. Rebecca knew it was excruciatingly painful. She couldn't tear her eyes away until her fingers brushed against the glass as the blonde communications expert died. 

 

Her paranoia had prompted her to search the freestanding closet for anything useful. She had found a small pack and a bullet-proof rescue vest near the back. The girl wasn’t going to question how or why those items were in the wardrobe and the thought that the castle had somehow read her unconscious thoughts hadn’t crossed her mind. Not even once as she made her way down to the clinic.

 

She felt like she saw Richard or Edward or Enrico out of the corner of her eye in every window she passed. It was unacceptable and she’d always felt like it was her fault, especially with Richard and Edward.

 

The door to the Clinic slid open with a hard push, the sound of metal scraping against metal echoed off the walls. The effort didn’t open the door fully but it left enough room for the medic to easily move inside. Naturally the clinic would have been affected by whatever was going on with the rest of the castle. Rebecca didn’t bother closing the door, she shouldn’t be long.]

 

Hello? [it seems she’s been greeted by silence to which she takes as her cue to start riffling through the cabinets to borrow medical supplies] Hmn. [a soft clinking sound as she moves a few bottles around from a first aid kit].

 

[open!]

Right….um so the sky is gone? Seen some mad things myself before but this is just …[ pauses…doesn’t really know what to say. ]

Has anyone else’s windows sort’ve changed into none windows? And this place is starting to look like a bloody spaceship! What’s up with that?

[ Peeks head out bedroom door to see the changes in the hallways of the castle. ]

Yep, spaceship lookin’ aright.

The Marker's taught and brought me everything I've ever wanted...I never want to leave here, especially without its presence.

Have you ever seen anything like this, Richter? It's amazing.

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.
