[Yuan is pacing outside near the castle, muttering to himself in atrocious grammar and a faintly Irish accent. Instead of his usual cloak, he's wearing a long blue coat with gold trim, and a red vest with similar decoration underneath. A red bandanna covers his hair.]

This be nonsense, Belladonna. What kind of fool pirate would hate water? ...I'll be havin' none of it. We'll build a ship like the rest, aye, and gather us a hearty crew to sail it.

[The Bellossom on his shoulder seems to think this is a marvelous game, and pipes up cheerfully.] Bell bell~!

[She is walking back from the city after a late night on the town when something feels ...different, something in the air. Misa shivers from the chill against her leg. Something feels like change.

And the need for rum. And plunder.

Though she passes the duck pond, she stops, looking past the green bird on her shoulder to see the water shine in the moonlight. A duck quakes, startled by the look in her one eye.

Yes, this was it. This was her true destiny.

Her wooden leg sinks in the deep soil, but she plants her flag firmly. A white skull with a pink heart flies true.

This pond will be Misa Amane's]


It be totally simple. Control the sea and ye control the land!

This pond be mine. Join me crew and sail the only waters this stupid place be havin'! Follow Captain Misa and all the gold and cool stuff be yours!

[and you hear the metallic sound of a sword pulled from a sheath]

Who's with me?!

[one minute, he was walking through the woods along the edge of Tashmore Lake, on his way back to the cabin ... and then ...

... well, that's certainly not his cabin, it's a ruddy great castle. but it looks as good a place as any to start digging. lucky he's got that shovel slung over his shoulder - and he hasn't noticed that his black felt farmer's hat has transformed itself into something with a much broader brim and a lot of ostrich feathers. strides over to the edge of the castle gardens and proceeds to start digging for buried treasure, humming a little to himself. every now and then he'll stop and mutter to the air:]


No, no, no, belay that, Mister Shooter, we don't be wantin' no more holes than needs be dug! ... Mister Rainey, ye be talkin' utter nonsense, as per usual. 'Course this is perfec'ly normal. Call me daft one more time an' Mister Shooter'll be gettin' yer share o' th' plunder...

[and he's just going to keep right on digging and arguing with himself until someone interrupts him]

Must I explain it to ye again? A boat, I say, a boat!

But miss, there isn't anywhere around here for miles where you could sail something like tha--

Shut yer lily-livered mouth! Get me a boat by the morning or I'll make ye walk the plank, bucko.


Y-yes, of course, I'm very sorry.

.. Ah, no, Kuro-chan! Parrots aren't supposed to meow! This going to be really tricky, I don't think you can make parrot noises.. [a thoughtful noise] I wonder if I can still be a pirate if I don't have a parrot? But I don't have an eyepatch or a ship either..

[Arrrrrrrgh. Kutner is one of the few that's been effected by the whole pirating thing. In response, he's digging a giant hole in the middle of the field. He's searching for treasure. No, really, he is. If you catch a glimpse at the map that's he's got taped to his shovel, it's makes that very clear. He's also got a parrot sitting on his shoulders, whistling, squawking, and occasionally getting a few words in there]

SQUAWK! Fire the guns, fire the guns.

Arrr, keep your voice down, Penny. We don't want any of those land lubbers wanderin' by and tryin' to steal me treasure. Now just keep your nose down and get back to work!

[and then there's more sounds of shovel hitting dirt, as well as parrot whistling. Feel free to ask him what he thinks he's doing]

[dictated casually]

Hoooo, now this is interesting. It looks like the whole castle's turned to piracy. Or at least most of it.

Of course, I'm not feeling any different at all. Must be because I was already a pirate, hm?

Wonder how long this will all last, though. Longer than a day and I might have to gather my own crew. [a small laugh] I wonder how Mr. Touchdown would take to that?

Pirates, huh? That's gotta be one for the books.

[There is a Sam Axe in your kitchen, Paradisa, and he's not effected by the whole pirate thing at the moment. He was just looking to fix himself some breakfast, and at the moment he's pouring himself a cup of coffee]

You know, I dealt with pirates -- real ones -- when I was in the SEALs. Those guys can be some scary sons of bitches. [a bit of pause as he takes a long sip of his coffee before there's a bit of a fond noise]

Huh. That kind of tasted like --

[and then comes the THUNK! as Sam hits the floor]


[So poor Sam is not a pirate, but since his loss is his tolerance for alcohol, I decided to be mean to him and have all his liquids turn to rum. So there is an unconscious ex-spy in your kitchen. Have fun with him.]

Well fair Paradisa it seems some of you have lost your minds once again. This time instead of not being sure of who you are? You're all pirates. It's a nice change, except I seem to be missing a fair amount of my belongings.

So if anyone, when this is over, would like to return my things?

- a laptop
- an iPod
- four black t-shirts
- dvd of the movie Die With Difficulty


So until then, I'll keep an eye out for all of you. Remember, citrus is your friend. Scurvy isn't fun for anyone.

Arr, this be a fine place to bury me treasure. [he stops, dropping the bag and downing the rest of his rum before throwing the bottle over his shoulder.]

If there was anything I wasn't interested in waking up to, I believe this would be it –– people running around like idiots, suffering under delusions, playing with boats and filthy animals and the like.

Fortunately, I'm not among your ranks.

You realize pirates are criminals, don't you? That's hardly a laughing matter. In fact, back home, we deal with pirates efficiently. We overpower their rudimentary ships and weapons with swift, decisive attacks that leave them to drown at sea. It's almost funny to watch them; it's quite obvious that the last thing they're thinking is that they never should have dared to engage the illustrious Fire Nation Navy.

Sometimes they scream.

I think it's funny.

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.
