[is outside and after what he just saw? Yeah, he's grabbing the journal]

Okay. So can anyone else tell me if all the leaves didn't just drop... all at once?

[She looks down at her small, silver watch and smiles faintly. Then, she reaches over and tears something. It's a page from her little calendar (those tiny calendars were so cute, after all) and it reveals October 1st is circled in red.]

Well, what do you know? Looks like it's my anniversary. Never even thought I'd stay here this long.

[She removes her watch and sets it down on the table with a light clink.]

And you know what? I never thought I'd be glad to be here this long.

[and because he needs to think of not only an awesome birthday gift for Naruto, but now an awesome wedding gift for Marian, Shinji is in the library looking at music books and baking books and arts & crafts books to try and figure out some idea.

and of course, the one about cello music is all the way at the top.

sigh. his life.

standing on a step stool... with a few books on top for extra height, he's stretching his arm up as high as it can go to try and get the book. his journal fell some time ago beside him, recording everything. he reaches... reaches... and the books start to wobble]

Wh-Whoa... Ah - Gaaah!! [and there's the sound of several books falling, a thud of someone hitting the floor, and a few more books after that. groooooooooooan.]

Stupid shelf. Why do you have to be so high anyway?

[Through the journal there's the sound of a door opening, followed by a suprised flap of wings. She'd been spotted, presumably by whoever lived in this particular room-- Kohaku, was it?

But Rouge is only startled for a moment, speaking smoothly]

Hiya~ nice place you've got here, cutie! ♥

[ooc: Sorry it's so late, mang, RL is not being very nice 8|]

[Getting ready in the morning, doo dee doo~ In a pretty good mood, doo dee doo~ Looking out the window, doo dee…]

[Wait what?]

Huh. [Pause for staring] Does it usually happen like that here?

[Aaaand, a few minutes later, he’s outside, rustling through the leaves and occasionally picking one up. He’s got three or four in his hand already. Come bother him?]

027: mermaid in the pool!

[xy-venus.livejournal.com]

[Zora had awoken early, and as she lay there for a little while, she thought she might have a swim. So, gathering up a suit and everything in a bag, she went down to the pool. She changed, braided her hair, set the journal open on a chaise lounge by the water's edge, just in case, and jumped in. She did two lengths of butterfly, and was surprised at her own speed, so she stopped... and that's when she realized she had a tail.]

Oh... mygod.
[sounds of water splashing as she makes her way over to the journal... and realizes that her bikini top is also gone. She tries asking the Castle for another one, but no dice. It's like 8 am, but there's really only one person she can think of to turn to - and she hopes he's not still possessed.]

Man, who else is super bored?! I mean, yeah, it was pretty cool to be a pirate for a day, but Teddy lost his eye-patch and it turns out he really sucks at rowing a boat.

Tao-san, we should do something. Are you as bored as I am? I kind of want to blow something up! With a BANG! Senpai would be proud, wouldn't he? Poor Senpai. I miss him. I wonder what he's blowing up in Crazy-Girly-Looking-Ninja-Heaven.

...Hey, Itachi-san, you should totally go up there and find out! If you die, you'll go to heaven, right? And you kind of look like a girl. And are crazy. So you'll end up in the same place as Senpai, right? I mean, it's not like you'll have to stay there. In two weeks, they'll bring you back! You could send Senpai a message for me. "Dear Senpai, please remember to change your underwear daily. Do you still look like a girl? I bet you do. You're so adorable.

Love, Tobi."

Sounds good, huh?

[long pause]

UWWAAAAA~H, I'm so BORED!!

[Having gotten the run down on his arrival, Rick has finally decided to leave his and Evey's room and really explore this castle on his own. How many times in your life do you get to look around a magical building, after all? Not. Many.

Unless you count ancient Mummy stuff as magic; in which case, he's had his fair share already. Looks... really unimpressed by these ghosts. And also very unimpressed by the fact that he is now lost :( Eff his life.]

... Well this is just great.

[ooc: Leaving for school in 10 minutes, but I'll be back to tag later tonight o/]

Anyone that knew Miss Shiro, I regret to inform you that she's not here anymore. The castle has sent her home.

Hey, ladies. Who's up for TPing Crowley's body while he's out of it?

[/Claire & Ino]

Well, hey guys. I'm back to my awesome self again, just me up in the old brainpan. Though, I gotta say, Crowley? You gotta get a softer mattress or something. I think I only slept like, half the night. I'm gonna be living on Red Bull until my head hits the pillow tonight, believe you me.

If anyone needs me this week, I'll probably either be at the WildKat or down by the pool - Zora's on a loss, and I'm gonna keep her company.

Chapter 2: In which the weather is baffling as hell.

[toolshedarsenal.livejournal.com]

[eventually, Mort makes his way outside, having procured breakfast and a somewhat stronger understanding of the layout of the castle. wandering around inside has been good enough for the last couple of days, but he's starting to feel a little bit of castle fever. shrugs on a cardigan and heads outside, expecting to take a nice walk around where he remembers digging all those silly holes, admiring the fall colors, and ...]

[finds himself calf-deep in leaves] Well, this is new. [ahem] Can I get a rake, please?

[and with that, he's going to start clearing off the path from the castle proper to the duck pond, for lack of anything better to do. when he was stuck with writer's block in Derry, he'd weed Amy's garden ... maybe raking the leaves will yield an equal crop of ideas. whistles to himself as he rakes - it's cheerful enough, but every now and then he'll drop into a minor key for a bar or two for no reason. come bother him and jump in the nice neat piles he's making!]

[backdated to the middle of Rude's loss a few weeks back, mainly because this particular player was on hiatus during that time;

it seems as though the Leverage Headquarters has a visitor this fine evening. however, it's not a client, nor someone seeking help or financial retribution, no... it's a certain someone. a special someone of Sophie's who just so happens to be oh-so welcomed into her humble abode. she's sitting in the lounge with him, as cool and casual as ever, particularly amused at her company's expense.]

Can I get you anything? [a beat] Or would you prefer to wish for it?

Log 047: Journey

[ruin-mania.livejournal.com]

[written in a neat hand]

The Doctor and I are planning a short expedition to the Pillar Fields to diagram them and see what, if anything, may be learned from them. Traveling in a direct line with the aid of horses or other riding animals, it should take only a few days to reach them. Once there, we'll do a thorough examination of them and record it all to share.

Is there anyone else who might be interested in coming along? There may not be much more time for journeying before the winter snows set in, so I'd like to see what we can learn before then.

We'd like to leave tomorrow, if possible.

((ooc: They'll be taking the TARDIS to the edge of the barrier and riding horses in a direct line from there; it should be approximately 3-4 days round trip, according to the mods, and one full day at the Pillar Fields. This means they'd arrive about Sunday and return to the castle about Tuesday.))

Ugh. Is there a demonic version of jet-lag? I think I'm getting that.

[Pause. There's only one person in the castle he knows who owns a little dragon]

[luckyvalentine.livejournal.com]

Alright, this place obviously isn't heaven...

...so then, why are there no casinos? No racetracks, no dice pits...nothing.

It's a tragedy. [voice gets stronger as she leans over her journal] ...I know some of you miss these things.

Therefor, I propose a change. [leans back again]

I have cards, I have dice. Where should I set up? Know of a cozy corner in the castle? Any of you wonderful residents looking to bring more business to your establishments?

Just give the word.

[There's a bit of heavy breathing, before it stops, and there's a sigh of relief which is followed by the sound of Lucian flopping onto his bed.]

Shit. I never want to go through that again.

Anyone knew her, Cissnei's gone home.

Also, from now on if you wanna filter something to me - use something more specific than Reno so you don't get that other one. 'Reno of the Turks' or 'Father Reno' seems to work out all right.

[backdated to slightly before sunset]

Hmm. What do you think, D?

Air pressure normal. All armor components functioning at minimum 95% peak capacity. Wind negligible. York, are you certain this is a good idea?

Hey, I'm not going to wait around and see if they get all mushy and gross, okay? You gotta take these opportunities when they come.

That is debatable. If you simply desire an adrenaline boost, I will be happy to--

No, D, it has to be real or it doesn't count.

The chemicals in your body will be identical, York. Your brain will receive the same stimulation.

No, see, you're totally wrong. It's way better to do it than just pretend.

[sigh] If you feel it is necessary. There is a 98% chance of success without injury.

Awesome. Okay, ready?

Ready.

GERONIMOOOOOOOOO! [There's the sound of air whistling past and then a very loud CRUNCH. It's the crunch of a body in MJOLNIR armor hitting a huge pile of leaves at a high velocity.]

HOLY SHIT, THAT WAS AWESOME! D, we're doing it again.

Very well. Please remember to reform the leaf pile or the chance of injury will raise by 5%.

I'm not going to forget, D. That's the whole point. You have to land in the leaves. That's what fall is all about.

Is that why you chose to fall off Pietas Tower?

Oh, shut up, D.

((ooc: Open, if you want to watch a grow man act like a 6-year-old and jump off one of the towers into a huge leaf pile. :D))
