There is nothing quite like seeing the new life emerge after a long winter. A swamp is not the same--beautiful it may be in its own way, but I can't say I appreciate the smells it brings with it with as much enjoyment as others.

[There's a short pause, as she teases the little cub and plays for a moment, chuckling softly, until a thought strikes.]

Oh, who tends to the garden here? I'd like to lend a hand with it, if you don't mind. It seems to be in need of a bit of care.

Getting stuck here, I  can't help but wonder what's going on back where I'm from. The world's about to get shaken, and it's forever on hold for me until this castle lets me go.

Ah well. It's not like I won't get back eventually. Hopefully my skills won't be rusty by then. This place can certainly be dangerous if it wants to be, but it's a tame sea when compared to the Grand Line.

[the journal clatters open, as it's dropped out of full arms]

So, what've we got so far? Sledgehammer, chainsaw, chisel, jackhammer, crowbar .... [the sound of something being tossed up and caught] AND, of course ... a reasonably-sized chunk of C4. If all else fails, use high explosives.

SO! Shall we?

[Like all 'newbies', Deadpool is confused. Confused and pissed. He has no idea where he is, how he got there, and he was supposed to be tracking down Tolliver's will and looking for new jobs. This is not where he's supposed to be but that guy standing around what looks like an apartment probably has answers... Answers that he can obviously get by pointing a gun at]

You're going to tell me what's going on and you're going to tell me now and in return I won't shoot you.

With grace and poise, the Mythril Samurai makes her way up to her headquarters. It's a dangerous road here in Paradisa, but nothing is going to stop this warrior of justice. She-

Ugh, I think I'm going to be sick... [m-more squelching as she fishes the journal and game station out of the slime] Did a giant red slug come through and die here or something? What is this?

I'm just curious... How people in the castle are teenagers or younger? I haven't seen many people around my age, but there's a lot of older teenagers and adults... Maybe the castle doesn't like to bring in many kids?

He is bored today and easily amused. He was bent over eye-level with the pan, but he stands up and squares his shoulders, putting on a creepy deep stage whisper....]

[now that the swampland is draining, and he's not seeing any more giant creatures outside his window, Raistlin is leaving the dark, familiar confines of the library, and heading out across the castle grounds, to explore and search for spell components. his journal now hangs off one of his belts, by a carefully crafted leather thong, along with a spellbook from the library, ready for easy access should he need it.

he's making his way through one of the side lawns, using the Staff of Magius to navigate through the tall grass and feel out any wet, weak spots where his feet might sink through, when --]


Murk.

[peers around, looking for the source of the sound --]

Murk! [and a Murkrow flies up out of the grass, swiping past his waist and making a grab for one of the amulets hanging from his belt. it misses, and lands a few feet away, hopping as though it intends to make another pass for it]

... Hmmm. [he reaches up and unfastens the amulet, dangling it before him in his free hand] Does this interest you, little one?

Murk, murk!

[starts backing toward the castle, the amulet in hand ... and the Murkrow hopping and fluttering toward him as he does.

[he opens it to a clean page...]

Um, hello? Is this thing on? Testing, testing...all systems go? Okay. Uhhhh, hi! I'm Xander Harris and I'm...sounding like I'm at an AA meeting. I'm not an alcoholic, I swear. Though I was a bartender for short time. It wasn't as much fun as I thought it would be. Tangent Harris. You could call me that, too.

This place is entering Spring! We should go see if they have any flowers growing.


I have no interest in such things.

Please? Just for a little while? You can't be happy staying in this room all day.

I would prefer my realm to this place.

I know but, that doesn't seem possible right now so we should make the best of it.

There is little of interest outside.

[Finally, finally doing something other than living in the library, Xellos is... well, he's not doing much, actually.

He's just leaning against the wall outside a door, arms crossed, looking relaxed, staff resting next to him. Picture of perfect innocence, right? ... Sure. Keep believing that.

The door beside him is a pretty damn average door. Looks like it might be an unoccupied room, and all seems fairly normal... Save for the slightest hint of flickering light coming from under it. Not that Xellos seems to be noticing it.

There is a sign on the door though, tacked on there for all to see. And it says:

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.
