[this is probably a horrible idea and she might get too shy to respond to anything in like an hour, BUT ANYWAY ... dictated, in that low, scratchy voice of hers]

I'm not any kind of evil person out to steal your magicky secrets, I swear. But I'm just curious -- what's the nature of magic back where you're from? Do you even call it magic, or something else? What's the source? And ... I don't know, other stuff. Why am I doing this ...

Well. It could be worse. But he didn't come with me. That's downright cruel.

[It took him some time to even begin to accept that he is both alive and in a strange new place. There are still fragments of his mind that think he is still dead, but his senses are the same as they always are. He smirks and he feels bitterness creep through him. If this somehow is death, then that means even in death he has to wear a mask. Begins speaking into the journal, sounding both confused and nervous.]

Ah, hello.

My name is Lelouch Lamperouge and I assume like many of you, I have found myself in this strange world. At first I thought it was a dream, perhaps something else, but this is all very real. I am not sure of what to make of all of this, it’s very confusing and surreal. If anyone would be so kind as to help me learn more about this place, you’ll have my gratitude.

[Now he sounds more awestruck than anything.]

How is a place like this even possible? Everything here is so perfect, so peaceful. Maybe I am dreaming and this is just a very realistic feeling dream.

[ A pause. Apollo has now exited his room into a rather odd-looking hallway. He blinks once, twice...and then panics. ]

Wh-what's...

HOLD IT!! What's going on here?!

[ Once again, here we are. Apollo flings open the door again, only to find something that is quite clearly a rather fancy-looking bedroom rather than Defendant Lobby #2. He swallows, more than a little worried. ]

[ After scribbling down those filters, Kara goes back to what she was doing. Which is sitting in the library and sorting through a bunch of cookbooks. Quite a number of cookbooks, in fact. ]

...Oh!

[The sound of pages flipping, before it stops.]

Hello? Can you all hear me? [She clears her throat]

Firstly, I'd like to apologize to anyone I was rather rude toward when I first got here. This isn't exactly where I thought I'd end up when I ran out the door, you know. I'm really not that rude, I promise! I was in a hurry, you see, but... Oh, I suppose that's another matter entirely.

I think I have some sort of idea about where I am, but the details are a bit hazy and this book is awfully big, appearances aside. Care to help a girl out?

I'm Delysia, by the way. Delysia Lafosse.

[there are two short but piercing claps] Good evening, residents of Paradisa. My name is Erika Furudo and I arrived here the day before yesterday. While I cannot do so formally, due to the handicap that the castle has provided me with, I declare myself Detective of this game board. I hope you'll all give your full cooperation. [giggle...] I do not wish to waste any time, so if you would please respond promptly it would be best for all parties.

I am interested in speaking with anyone who has been trapped here for three years or longer. Please reply with your name, and a sample of your handwriting. I would also suggest that you do not reply until you have set aside time to talk in a civilized manner.

[John is riding around town on the back of a horse. Why? Well, he wasn't going to walk all the way from the castle when there are perfectly good horses in the stable. He clip-clops slowly around, pausing now and again to peer into shop windows or down alleyways. After a moment, he stops, sitting back in his saddle and opening his journal]

[Somewhere in the clinic there is a banging sound of a water bowl hitting the ground and a body falling after it.]

Yuu-!

[Half a pause--]

... Yuu?

[On the ground there is a man looking very confused and nervous as he stares at his hands, rubbing the skin there and on his arms. Slowly he stands up, not really noticing how his clothes seem to have shrunk a few sizes. He's still rubbing at his arms.]

Yuu...

[ooc; BIG CANON UPDATE (to 199) FOR BOTH ALMA (once [livejournal.com profile] doyuulikeme , now this journal.) AND KANDA who will wake up in THIS POST so threadjacking is encouraged! Right now Kat/Kanda-mun won't be on for a few more hours, but until then...! Alma's new loss is his tattoo abilities and Akumaness so he's just a plain ol' human now! journal is cool too.]

[he's sick of the castle. The walls mock him, the magic, the incomprehensible games, nothing makes sense... so, he spends the day in the town. It's a nice day out anyway, and he really hasn't done much exploring yet. At first it's nice, reminding him of the times that he was actually able to enjoy some aspect of being stuck in Ba Sing Se. The longer he's out there, though... the more he notices. Eventually he takes a seat on the edge of the fountain in the middle of town and pulls out his journal]

[kind of hushed, as if he's afraid someone might overhear him]  ...There is something wrong with these people.

[ it's starting to cool, the man's favorite time of the year, where older things die, keeping bare until the later months when those things thaw and become reborn.

he's out, by those dying trees, a book in his hand. there's no title on the brown leather bound book, but he knows the contents, having read them plenty of times. no novel of his favorite pianist, or composer, but a gathered list of information on various attendants of Paradisa.

knowing potential 'friends' and enemies was another past time of the man.

one could say know he's even looking, silently searching for new names to add to his list, and keep up with old ones.

[The journal lies open on Coraline's bed as she looks under it, over it, and frantically anywhere else in her room]

Where are you, you mangy... wuss puss?! Stop hiding!

[There's the sound of something being slammed. Hard. And then this gets dictated into the journal. She's red-hot mad, so be careful what you say to her]

Has anyone seen a cat around here? Black, with blue eyes, doesn't look like it's been fed a lot? I can't find him anywhere! Is he with you, Wybie? AUGH.

[More sounds of things being thrown around as she searches for her friend]

[Mumbling to herself and shaking her head, Aqua is right outside of a strange castle called Paradisa. A new adventure awaits her...]

Ventus...Terra...I'm sorry I couldn't protect you...

[Almost immediately she sits up looking around at the unfamiliar place. It all seemed too peaceful. Way too peaceful.]

Where...am I? What is this place? Where...where did Terra and Ven go...? What's going on here?! 

[Looks around frantically for her friends and for the enemy she was facing. Not surprisingly, they aren't there. She starts breathing heavily and falls to her knees, about to cry.]

It seems like Xellos has left the castle, I thought he was hiding somewhere, but when I checked his room again he was gone. How sad, I will miss him truly.

Now, what is all the obsession with mystery lately? I won't say I'm not a fan of the occasional crime novel, but it's just not quite my thing. I quite prefer mythology over it. In fact before I arrived here I had a lovely little book about Japanese mythology! It's so funny how many places share similarities in their myths, yet can be so very different at the same time! I wonder if there are any youkai here in the castle.... I mean that would be a reasonable hope right? There are witches, demons and other things after all.

Residents,

I must apologize for the manner of my .. introduction. As expected, my arrival here was shocking, and it took some time for me to find my bearings. If I am to be making a home here, permanent or not, I suppose proper introductions are in order.

I am Jaina Proudmoore of Theramore - it seems that many of you have become acquainted with others from my world, Azeroth, and so at least my home is not forgotten here. Introductions aside, I do have a favor to ask of all of you: information. I'm sure that many before me have asked for the same, so I apologize in advance for asking you to repeat yourselves, but any information at all would be helpful to me. How long have you been here? Do you remember arriving? What do you know of the magics here, the anomalies? What is there to see and do? Any information, however trivial, would be most appreciated.

My thanks,
Jaina Proudmoore

[Shiki Misaki was headed to the Statue of Hachiko to meet up with Neku Sakuraba, her... friend. Yes, friend. Clearly, only her friend. In conclusion: Friend.

Not that she really had the self-confidence to admit that she might possibly kinda-sorta like him maybe in a "I'm-not-sure-is-this-liking-someone?" way. She was getting there. But she didn't quite yet have that level of self-confidence.

BUT ANYWAY. She was in Shibuya, headed to the Statue of Hachiko to meet someone.

So you can imagine her shock and surprise to find herself in the lobby of Paradisa instead.]

Is this another Game? But I don't remember dying...

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.
