[Fans were always trying to break into the famous Caterina Sforza's house, trying to steal pieces of her life to emulate her or fuel their dreams of being the glamorous and elite woman herself.

Today one such fan did the unthinkable, she dognapped the almost equally famous Hound of Caterina - Tres Iqus.

Unfortunately for said fan, when she got the sleeping alsatian to the park, he woke up and... didn't react too favourably to finding he was lost with a stranger on a leash he didn't recognise.

Leaving the fan with a bite taken out of their thigh, there is now one Tres wandering around the streets of L.A. alone.

Clearly that means he should be petted.]

[And it seems Charlie forgot to close his journal after writing out his stalker notes observations. So when the news finally comes on, it is recorded in its entirety. And it is a verrrry generic little newscast, all in all. Least ways, it is until the end, when the focus shifts from a nonexistent outside world to the microcosm they’ve been transported to: ]

Meanwhile, it has come to this reporter’s attention that last night the Los Angeles County Museum of Art was broken into. The Egyptian collections exhibit was targeted and robbed, and the only evidence so far available to the authorities? Is security footage of a pink convertible leaving the scene. Investigations are still underway, though whether anything comes of them… [Kind of waves one hand as if dismissing the thought entirely]

Considering the circumstances, maybe this case along with so many others lately, will fall into the hands of a vigilante or two. Perhaps that Midnighter fellow, still at large and wanted for the murder of policeman Christopher White, will bring the perpetrators to justice for us. Or maybe one of the many others who have turned up so recently will be on the case.

What with how prominent the vigilante presence is becoming on the streets, it seems like any day now, we won’t even need the boys in blue. Enough people with the right resources and the kind of over-developed sense of morality it must take to throw on a pair of sunglasses to run through the streets, [A picture of Kate Bishop opposite her alter ego, Hawkeye, appears briefly] and we might get ourselves a proper citizen run army going.

Makes you wonder if LA’s finest are even going to bother on this one, don’t it?

[Glances off to the left for just a moment, before clearing his throat] I’m informed there was a malfunction just now. Please ignore any image that may have appeared on the screen. No implication was being made. [Drawn out and obviously sarcastic: ] None. At. All.

[With that he smiles crookedly, and sends a lazy salute towards the camera] This is Vic Sage, reporting. Have a good night everybody.

[And Charlie has walked off the set before they have a chance to cut away. Thankfully the journal won’t be catching the chewing out he’s going to get for that]

[Allan is singing atrociously trying to practice, looking in the mirror before mercifully stopping before the glass cracks.]

I can't believe I'm supposed to sing. I sound bloody awful.

[He leans over and peers out of the window at the world outside.]

And I think I've run out of bread...that means going out there doesn't it?

 [Today was Lucy's actual day off. So clearly she would spend it SHOPPING!

So here she is strolling along. When some random thief grabs one of her bags and makes a run for it.]

HEY! WHO TOLD YOU YOU COULD STEAL THAT?! GET BACK HERE! [and she goes running after. There might be the sound of a whip wrapping around the bag.]

[ooc: Open or journal post. =D]

I'm not sure what's taking longer to get used to, being.. like this or being in such a large city. I remember what home looked like before everyone disappeared but I never expected it could be like this. It almost seems a little silly to worry now.

At some point, I'd like to take 4 and 6 to the zoo. 7, Shortpack? Would you like to come with us? With so many things to see in L.A. I'm wondering if we'll have time to see everything before we end up back at the castle.

[ a little laugh. there's a distinct noise of shuffling papers, someone is busy grading homework! ]

We'll have an interesting story to tell the others if they come here.

...Well, if nothing else at least this place has some amazing healers. First time I couldn't take care of it on my own though. Kinda weird.

Nnn..whatever. At least I got paid.

[ what's a girl to do in L.A. when she's bored?

wander around the city! unfortunately, being bored didn't get her very far because while she's left the crappy apartment she shares with Guts she has only made it to the end of the street. why? because there is currently a hot dog vendor parked there and she's staring at him and the food.

when her stomach grumbles, she doesn't think twice about reaching over and snatching one of them. as one can imagine, that doesn't exactly fly with the guy and he's quick to let her know it ]

You going to pay for that?

.. Aau. [ munching ]

Hey, lady! I'm talking to you!

[ooc; Red is the vendor. Open! Save the wieners! And, you know, Casca wouldn't mind being saved too. I had to do it.]

[Michael's at home this morning and he's got the journal open beside him while he's cooking breakfast. He's not sure what possessed this when the fridge was full of yogurt, but he suddenly wanted eggs, potatoes, and bacon]

[he's listening to idle chatter over the journal and thinking to himself]

Shit. [a bit of oil splattered him]

[and while he has a moment or two of just watching things cook, he quickly grabs his journal]

[ ...

there is a short blond with a bloody cloak and a scythe standing in the middle of the road just a little stunned and confused. his head hurts a little and he feels dizzy, but that is all okay this simply had to be another illusion right? ]

Hello? Elliot? Where did you g--! [ poor kid is cut off by a loud beeping and the screeching of tires...

someone has some terrible luck... really ]

[anyone who has been looking for Lindsey since arriving in LA needs to look no further. That bum you've all been passing slouched in the alley on your way to wherever this past week? Yup. That's him. He was quiet because he had a big bottle of whiskey from when the change happened, but now he's out and since he's sure as hell not going back to Wolfram and Hart right now, and no one really wants to hire a one handed man, he's just adding to the drunken homeless population.

There is a sign next to him today. Homeless and all I want is a new bottle of whiskey. Help a guy out. There is also a coffee cup with a few coins in it. And a very scruffy Lindsey leaning against the brick wall, scabby clothes that he's acquired and doing the suduko puzzle that is on the newspaper that is serving as his blanket as well.]

I'm looking for a dog. He goes by the name Tres Iqus and has a gun shaped charm on his collar naming me as his owner. Here is a picture of him. Anyone who locates him and delivers him to me will be given a substantial reward.



[ooc; Abel got Tres tossed into the pound because he's an idiot. Also let's pretend she pasted a picture of him unto his entry?]

Time For Some Fun!

[Yes folks, it's Disneyland. As York has invited all the Paradisans here today, this could be your chance to go with all your castle friends! Anybody with a journal can get in for free, as Tony Stark has declared them official Stark Industries promotional items and, of course, he owns Disney.

York has made reservations at the Blue Bayou restaurant inside the Pirates of the Blue Bayou ride for anyone who RSVP'd in his last post, but the rest of the park is free for anyone to explore and enjoy!

There are two main areas: Disneyland itself and California Adventure, as well as the Downtown Disney shopping experience and several hotels, at which York has booked a few rooms in case anyone needs to crash early or take a nap during the day. The main park is open until midnight (full event schedule here). Sections are posted for individual areas within both!

SECTIONS ARE UP! Have at, and threadhop at will.]

It was the pier pressure.

[brdskllwarrior.livejournal.com]

Who: 7 and Shortpack
What: Enjoying the Santa Monica Pier
When: Friday noonish, when Shortpack's supposed to be in work
Where: Santa Monica Pier, and all that that implies!
Rating: PG

[[ooc: Continuation of this]]

7 pauses a moment, thoughful, before answering Shortpack.

"A little bit of both. I think it would be hard to enjoy a city like this at our size, but on the other hand I miss ... well, being myself. This is a little much to get used to, all at once."

She leans back in the chair, her expression both thoughtful and distant as she looks out at the crowd.

I guess math in English isn't any easier than math in Japanese. I-I should have known. A change in location doesn't really alter talent. Though that would have been really nice. At this rate I'll get supplementary classes on top of practice.

_{And I don't think Coach-san will be really happy if that happened...}

Besides! The big game is coming up soon and I can't miss it! [Is the type to give her all even when she's been forced into it by a magical castle.] I'm just going to have to give it my all!

But...[A little defeated] I wonder if there is anywhere I can get some help with my studies. I really need to pull my grade up before the next test, or else I won't be able to participate in the final match. I-I might not be very good, but I still don't want to let the team down...

♞ XXII; don't try this at home

[ah man... he needed to sleep more and drive less. but between his job and his "hobby", well... he was wasting himself a bit, plus he needed to pay rent, eat and feed his car too, the bastard consumed a lot of gas... this life wasn't bad at all, kept him busy, maybe a bit too much... he wasn't about to complain.

after the first nod, it was obvious he need coffee, a lot of it. wasn't there a 7-eleven next to the church?

all what Cloud knew was that he had closed his eyes for a nanosecond and had to force himself to reopen them when a violent THUD shook the entire car. the screech of tires was heard after he hit the brakes, but it was kind of late...

he stayed inside the car for a second or two, not totally registering what had happened...]

...

[[forwarded to today's evening; not too late, not so early. OPEN BTW!!! and journal comments are more than welcome and encouraged since... yeah he hit someone (I'm so sorry Subaru ;_; you're an orphan again /mauled)]]
