Uh...hey guys. I've been talking to the Companion Cube. It...uh feels the castle, it's kinda like an empath. It's probably the closest thing we've got to something that can understand the castle...even a little.

[He circles this conversation]

I think it's saying that the castle needs us to keep it strong. Something must have happened to weaken it, because it's afraid of people leaving. That's probably why it's made people go all creepy-happy-zombies, you know, keeping them tied down?

So...uh...yeah. That's all, I dunno what you guys are planning on doing, but...yeah.

...Hi. This is Freelancer York, and I'm in the Dead Zone. Making it out here broke the...compulsion. It's not comfortable here - I can still hear the damn place calling for me - but I'm myself again.

I can't leave, because I sure as hell don't want to lose control again, but if you can get your friends out here, it might help them.

[This is one of those "if you think you can see this, you can" filters.]

I know I've been acting like the world's biggest douchebag, but if you hear me out, I'd really appreciate it. When I was saying those things, I didn't think any of you were, well, you. I--I'd forgotten I ever had friends named Ken and Chie and Washington. I forgot that'd I'd ever lived anywhere else, or why it was important to me. All I could feel was this constant humming telling me I was loved, I was home, I was going to stay forever and wasn't that just the neatest thing ever and didn't I love this place, too?

[He breaks off for a moment to take a few deep breaths. York is bitter and angry and it hurts to say these things, but...the sooner he can start reversing the damage, the better chance he thinks he has of salvaging something from the life he used to have.]

Anyway. They were all lies. Home's not a place, not a city and not a castle. It's you guys. If I want to stay here forever, it's because I want to eat all the kinds of bread there are with Guilmon and joke around with Anya and have a drink at Lorne's and get pizza with Parker. Because I want to help the Cube understand us and help River get better and explore this whole goddamn place with the Doctors, and maybe even find a way to come and go so the rest of you with lives to get back to don't have to worry anymore.

So what I mean is that I'm sorry. And I know you guys are working to help us and thank you. Because whether we act like it or not, we need you.

York out.

[ The Travelers were causing a ruckus again, or such was the disdainful word that filtered through Ten's Little Shop. But there was an odd feeling that came over him, when the thing first started.

And then-- a feeling of a presence almost being ripped from him. And clarity. Shocking, horrifying clarity. ]

Oh, no...

[ Ten races upstairs and grabs the journal, flipping it open and murmuring to himself. ]

What's been happening to me? To us? ... Oh, eugh, I'm domestic! Look at me!

[ Then, louder, and more purposefully dictated. ]

Oi! You lot at the castle! What's going on? Who ever did whatever it was that made me better, I owe you something big, though the headache I could do without.

[... The Doctor. Yes, it's working!]

Everyone who's still in the castle: Get out, right now! We're leaving and destroying the castle in the process. It already appears to be working - people are snapping out of it as we speak - so if we're going to win this, we'll have to continue until, ostensibly, this thing is rubble.

Only stay if you know how to destroy a large building very quickly. Otherwise, go!

If you've got friends that you're keeping an eye on in the City, [added in after she notices the Doctor's back] - that haven't snapped out of it yet. come find me or Billy in the city. My dimension cannon's been retrofitted for distance travel. It'll drop them right into the Dead Zone. We're pulling the castle's batteries for now while others try to destroy the castle.

[Rose and Billy are in the City, a journal folded open in her messenger bag, looking for people that used to live in the Castle that are still affected to send out to the Dead Zone via a cannon firing]

[After exploring the grounds in the Gustav again, Moonbay found herself getting more and more irritated. They were still no closer to finding a solution to freeing their friends, and she wanted hers back. Not only that, but the poor Companion Cube was getting weirded out.

As the Gustav traveled towards the castle, she couldn't help but narrow her eyes at the building. That Godforsaken place had put them through too much, Christmas be damned. Her gaze traveled around the place, eventually settling on the abandoned Ira Tower.

Maybe...

Well, it couldn't hurt.

Before she could change her mind, Moonbay readied the Gustav's canon and fired. The target was simply the top of the tower, but even that was enough for her. As the stone crumbled in on itself, she felt a wave of satisfaction go through her.]

Focus on yourself, you sadistic, mind warping hellhole!

[Freezing rain pours down on Paradisa while the residents enact their new plan: rip the castle down, down, down. They might not have superstrength or epic magic skills or world-destroying abilities, but they do have some things that are vital, above all else:

Willpower, a determination to save their friends, and sheer METTLE.

Weapons, bombs, machinery, sledehammers, even your own bare hands... bring! It! Down!]

[Freezing rain pours down on Paradisa while the residents rip down the castle.

Elsewhere, the "townspeople" start to wake up. As the hours go by, as stone, glass, wood and fragments of dimensions tumble into the snow and ice, one by one, slowly, townspeople come back to their senses... wondering where they are and what they're doing. ]





[ooc: As with the mass city post yesterday, make your own sections. Remember that they don't necessarily have their journals with them or know what's going on back at the castle... though the explosions might catch their attention.

And to be really fair: please keep the biggest of the godmodes under the spell or out of the loop until the end, so that they don't just join the destruction and steal the normals' thunder. Thank you!

Another mass post will be going up (much later) tonight, around the castle's ruins, so that everyone has a chance to get their destruction on this afternoon/evening.]

For those of us not able to lend fighting strength to the efforts to damage the castle, I've rented a temporary space in town that should house a good number of us who'd like to take shelter until things are over.

You can find me - Komui Lee, for those of you I haven't yet met in person - at [insert address here, in town, nothing special blah blah, along with directions].

THE RUINS

[paradisamods]

[The rain's clearing up, leaving it just cold and wet and slushy around the ruins of the castle. The residents have destroyed their housing to save their friends, families and comrades, and even if they don't have a castle to stay in (for now), at least they have their minds and their memories.

The castle seems to have backed off, or given up, or something. Who can ever be sure?

Now what?]

Right now, the DeathMatch is open to everyone and everything. Drinks are free and self serve. If you're too young, I've rigged up some cola on tap for you shits.

Apologies and thank yous will come later. But Zoe, I will say once more; I will never be more thankful for being hit over the head.

For now, if anyone is hurt or in need of assistance, please do not hesitate to say. I'll be there right away.

The town is also in considerable distress. If it can be given, any assistance would be much appreciated. There are many people injured. The most affected areas are immediately apparent [ thank you zelman and verg :| ] but if you need specifics, they will be given to the best of my abilities.

[Midnight hits and Charlie opens his eyes on a scene that is painfully, disgustingly, impossibly familiar. He blinks. Once. Twice. The buzz in his head vanishes, as the first quiver of realization writhes its way down his spine. His skin prickles. He knows that just a moment ago Tot welcomed him home forever. He also knows he’s lived nine days in fear and suspicion and curiosity and, at least at the end, sadness]

[And, rather like that night a little over a week ago, he falls to the ground. This time, though, he is silent, mouth open, eyes flashing over a scene that can’t be can’t be can’t be. He pulls away, scrambling backwards until he is trapped against the wall, and the first sound since midnight struck escapes him, a pained, trapped, animal sound that dies in his throat a moment later, only to resolve into a single word: ] No. No no no no no no no. [Repeated with the kind of fervency usually reserved for the incurably insane]

[He shakes and whispers, and pulls in on himself, tearing at his hair and biting his thumb. Anything to prove this is real. Because something has to be real. Something has to be real]


((ooc Uhh… The Question’s biggest fear? Hallucinating. Or rather, not knowing what's real and what's not. Good luck))

Oh, no. No no no no no. This should not be possible! Not without some-- some external force making time go backwards! And it should feel a lot different than being in one place one moment and you blink and you're in another the next!

[ Angry, frustrated Ten is angry and frustrated. And pacing back and forth in front of the TARDIS in the lobby, flipping through the journal. ]

And if time really was reset, these entries shouldn't be here! It's like this place is some sort of sick, stinking sadist that likes to do nothing more that chew up what we know and spit it back in our faces.

[ And he lets out a mildly frustrated noise. It's the first time he's been able to 'travel in time' since October and he's a little upset that not only was it against his will, it didn't work like it's 'supposed to.' Clearly he needs to be bothered. ]
