[he's walking around outside on his mansion grounds somewhere. sounding kind of off, and a bit louder than usual, he speaks into the journal absent-mindedly]

You're all trash. This place needs to learn to keep. It's. Pro-mi-ses.

[which dissolves off into slightly off-kilter, quiet laughter before he starts talking again. Away from the journal. He should be yelling, but he forgot]

Yo, Dante. You home? [...] M'not.

[he flops down on the ground somewhere, then almost whines]

I'm hungry.

[there's a very long pause before there's the sound of something being dug up]

He~ey, I found something. Looks like...

[what do you do when you find a mysterious evil artifact you recognize? You put it on, of course.]

I'm keeping it.


[[OOC: Guess who has zero tolerance and drinks Coke like it's going out of style? Zelman got an early start on the being drunk thing. 8) HE HAS NO PEOPLE FILTERS RIGHT NOW SO I APOLOGIZE BEFOREHAND. Also, he found Bakura's evil Millennium Ring because it was buried right where his mansion sprung up. IRONY, the castle loves it.]]

[the castle's winged loli seems to have taken up residence under a kitchen table again.

She learned her lesson last year! So she's just quietly sitting down there, hidden by the tablecloth, attempting to sew a hole closed on an torn, black shirt that's far too big to be hers.

Her little loli feet are sticking out from under the tablecloth, though. She's not very good at hiding. Come see what's under the table?]

[Having gone out of his way to avoid the majority of the holiday cheer, mostly because his player found himself going on an unforseen/unannounced hiatus, Leon finally ventures out from winter hibernation. He's pretty wtf at the moment, but it's mostly because this player has no idea what's going on. General open type post go~]

[Feel free to notice the dumbass just kind of sprawled out and left for dead amidst a plethora of holly that's been pulled down from around the castle wreaths and such--some of which is sticking out of the corner of his mouth.

Yeah, he tried to eat it. So sue him, he doesn't know any better. Plus, those berries looked kind of good]

[Filtered AWAY from the person who sent those emails]

I'm sorry to anyone who received those emails that said to be from Allen Walker. Those emails did not come from me, and I'm looking into finding out who sent those out.

I suggest that you don't send money to that bank either, since I'm fairly certain it's a con.

[wow, this place got depressing fast]

Huh. Talk about the holidays letting you down.

[a bark is heard, because apparently it has to go out. again.]

Did anyone lose a dog? I have one in my room, and I thought maybe someone might've lost it and would've noticed it's missing by now, but no one has said anything.

It's a good dog. I'm sure it would like to go back to it's owner.

[dictated, tersely ... just a little on edge]

I knew it wouldn't last. This ... this seems much more like how after Christmas usually feels. Overdone. That sort of "Well, now what" feeling.

No point sitting here and stewing in it. I'm going to go do something.

[and with that, one Mr. Accountant is going to go for a walk... and discover the shooting range! hooray, firearms!]

Well.

I wasn't expecting to find something like this, here. But it's nice to know I won't fall out of practice.

[and with that, he gets the necessary equipment and proceeds to get in a few rounds with a .45. he's left the journal off by the sign-in desk, so that the gunshots aren't RIGHT THERE, and he's got the protective earphones on, so he won't hear or see anything right away, but he'll be checking the journal between rounds. feel free to ask him why HE'S shooting a gun, of all people, or wander into the range itself!]

$77 since the castle sucked the joy out of itself

[finesse-bottom.livejournal.com]

Well, the castle - [there's a yip in the background] - the castle decided to suck the joy right out of the holidays, I've decided that my - [another bark]

I've decided that my procrastinating is a good thing!

Also, I've been given a small dog as a present from a friend of mine. [more barks]

Apparently, they need a lot more attention than those horrible animals known as bunnies. [since, when she was human she did raise them... it's an odd backstory for Aud]

I've named it Hallie though, and I'm hoping that it doesn't destroy my room while I'm gone. [more barking, because it doesn't want to be left alone]

For a while, this castle was actually... starting to feel almost like home. It isn't, but it felt like it could be...

It doesn't any more, though. Now it just feels empty.

Is it because the holiday's over?

I think this is the point where Hansel was glad he'd saved up those chicken bones, isn't it....

[Five's taking a walk through the halls, surveying the change in the castle, trying to find something that might serve as further warning about what they're all in for ... because he's known it's been coming. he gets a few floors down, near the top floor of the library, before a sharp twinge catches in his chest, between his hearts, and he leans back against the wall]

AH. ... [and there's a pause as he catches his breath and waits for it to subside] Well. ... Haven't had that in a while. Glad I checked the TARDIS through, last week...

[speaks up a bit more, into the journal] I don't suppose anyone who was here last year remembers anything of this nature happening?

I wanted to thank everyone for the gifts I got! I really like them and I'll start using them right away!

Except for maybe the chalk...It's too cold to draw on the stone outside, so I hope I'll be here for Spring.

[need-to-rule-it.livejournal.com]

Yeah.

This is the Christmas I'm used to.

Glad that's over, I guess. Hope everyone enjoyed the delirium while it lasted.
[mopey sigh] Can we start taking this crap off the walls, now?

Everything looks different... Do you think- hm, maybe the ghosts are just really tired? After all, they've been working so hard all month, they might just need a rest. If we work together, I'm sure we can get the castle looking lovely again!

[/s-sob. If anyone wants to crush her optimism, she's in the lobby, flying around and doing her best to make things look... happier! However, everything she shines becomes dull as soon as she turns her back, plants that the fluffs up look droopy again.... Long story short, it's not going well. Help her out?]

Where are our technological geniuses?

I have a challenge for you! REWARD INCLUDED~

I got my Evangelion for Christmas. What is an Evangelion? In short, it's a biomechanical fighting unit! They were used to protect humanity from invaders we called Angels, and my Unit 02 was the first specifically created for combat!

... but not only is it smaller than usual, it only came with its battery for power. Usually, the Evas use an umbilical cable for power.

So! What I need is...

a. multiple sets of batteries (that last for longer than 5 minutes! Some world has to have the technology!)
b. a way to charge them
c. strategically placed generators and umbilical cables around the castle and city

And what do you get out of helping me? Protection! How often do all the freaks people with powers LOSE their powers?

Also, if I'm feeling generous, I might give rides. ♥

If anyone thinks they can help, even in the slightest bit, please respond here! ♥

I was once near the equator at the height of winter. It was so hot that the locals sought refuge from the midday sun. However, many of the travelers did not much to their detriment. Heat stroke is one of the stranger maladies to observe. All that...delusional jabbering.

So Christmas came and there weren't any killer elves or rabid reindeer. Is anybody else a little surprised by this? I'm not complaining, but I still don't really trust this place.

Maybe we'll get killer party hats for New Years.

005: Mac '10

[watsupbitches.livejournal.com]

I was thinking about it, and this place needs a government! We need to stop arguing over who has the power and officially just give it to somebody! An elected official, of course. We're gonna do the election the American way because clearly it's the best.

So I'm gonna run for President of this place! My campaign is so badass. Because it's gonna be the year 2010, my President slogan thing is gonna be: "Mac '10". Like the gun! That's just plain badass and totally red-blooded American.

Who wants to be my running mate?! I'm thinking since I'm gonna have the religious gun-supporting view, my V.P. should be a good-looking, charming Democrat. But not a pussy.

Thanks to everyone who sent me a present. They're all really great! Except that stupid book ... [scribbled out]

[ Ten's in the kitchen, eating a banana split and flipping through the journal when he decides he may as well voice his opinions on the dramatic change in the castle. After all, he's already got the thing open. ]

I'm not sure what's more puzzling: the nostalgia or the sudden absence of it. Either way, I'm pretty sure the castle hasn't given up on... whatever it was doing in the first place. It seems a bit too stubborn for that.

[ There's a pause as Ten noms on the yummy banana split. ] On a lighter point... what's your favorite ice-cream dish, Paradisa?

[There's a loud crash. If you've ever heard a large object (like, say, a bed) travel through a few solid objects (like, say, from Cassie's room and across the hall to Kyle's) then you know exactly what that crash sounds like.

And right after the crash, there's a rather surprised yelp and the crack of the wood of the couch cracking against the bed as the two collide with one another! Kyle, who had just been napping on said couch, wakes up abruptly and holds on for dear life as the couch is thrown against the wall.]

I'M UP, I'M UP! JESUS CHRIST!

[totally glancing around, wide-eyed, like a scared little dog. His ring lights up instinctively!]

... Oh, CRAP! Kyle?!

[She's scrambling over now. Kyle's still alert when he hears Cassie's voice, but he relaxes a little, wiping at the drool on his chin with his sleeve, mumbling something under his breath.]

You Amazons have the craziest tempers. Are you okay? -- [thinks about it for a moment] Is Kon okay?
