[ Well, since she posted a while ago asking about an animal shelter, Kara figures she might as well post again once as a follow-up sort of thing. Plus, she's a little bored. ]

So I got a cat to keep me company and to give me something to focus on. ... Okay, more like I couldn't resist bringing one back with me once I went to the shelter. Same difference, right?

[ she tapes a picture into the journal as she keeps talking. ]

I have no idea what to name it though. My cat back home, Streaky, got his name because of... kind of gross and unfortunate circumstances. Almost didn't get the safety deposit back on that first apartment with him. Oops. But for this girl? I've got nothing.

Any ideas?

And since I'm asking questions, what kind of tech to we have in this place? My cousin, Clark, mentioned some people have some things, but there weren't any real specifics. Anybody got anything they'd be willing to let me tinker with? I really need something to do other than explore the castle and town. I can only do that so much before I start going crazy.

[The change is sudden, and anything but welcomed in Suzaku's opinion. Whoever was responsible for bringing him here certainly had a sick sense of humor, prolonging Zero Requiem like this. Zero Requiem. The thought of it made him sick, but he tried to push that feeling away. That event would be the only thing that could serve as his punishment and the only thing that would grant him atonement for all of his sins.]

[A sigh] I'm Suzaku Kururugi, Knight of Zero, though I doubt that means anything here. Is there anybody that can help me? I'd like to know more about this place.

This place is so peaceful... It almost makes me wish I could stay here.

But-- This isn't right. I shouldn't be here; I don't have time to be here.

There's something I have to do at home that can't wait, [softer, a little bitter] no matter how much I wish it could.

[Now that Alleria has calmed down about certain things that have come to light since her arrival, she is able to focus on things other than her incredible capacity for anger.

She can be found, at the moment, simply walking around the castle grounds. A sword is at her hip, and a bow slung across her back. Though her intentions are a simple scouting of the immediate area, one can never be too careful, after all. Especially with all these mad people milling about, murdering each other.

After a little bit of walking and looking around, she will dictate into the journal that somehow found its way into her belongings.]


[filtered from Arthas Menethil and anyone who may be aiding him]
I have noticed that there are several establishments of various purposes throughout the castle. Mostly places to imbibe alcohol, it would seem. I wonder, then, if it is too much to ask for an archery range?

It's been much too quiet lately.

Oh, that's a fine thing but, by the lion's mane, it can't bode well. If the castle is indeed plotting something on this... Hallow's Eve... I fear it will be the end of us all.

[there's a pause, and then a sigh] For all you poor souls who've come during this time of peace, I am quite sorry. I'm afraid the truth will be a rather rude awakening, if not worse.

[Hey there Paradisa, here's a riddle for you...

What is the worst possible idea? The most terrifying thing to see in the hallways of the castle?

Is it a swamp beast? Possibly a row of murdered corpses?

No. You're wrong.

The most petrifying sight possible is Tamaki with a weapon! That's right, residents, walking to and fro from the Host Club room and his own is this blonde-haired idiot, carrying armfuls of katanas.

Please feel free to stop him and take the sharp weapon from him... or flee in terror, your choice.]

Honestly! It is about time you returned me to my true form!

I owe thanks to some of you for assisting me for the duration of the week. [ not you, Bernkastel! she isn't coming near you with a ten foot pole ] You gave me several different names, but thanks to the castle, I became a small kitten for nearly an entire week. Thank you very much for your assistance, I wish I had been able to tell you sooner.

Nonetheless, I have returned to normal now.

However the Other Coraline got here, she certainly doesn't remember. Mother is nowhere to be found, either.

Clearly, something was wrong. Very wrong]

Hello? Is anyone here?

[And with that, she'll be wandering around the lobby, the kitchen, anywhere that her "Mother" might be. Even though she's confused, she has a smile on her face. Not a genuine one. A smile that's TOO genuine. So genuine, it's creepy.

[He's up suspiciously early; nothing to do with being restless or having repeated disturbing dreams that he can never quite finish. He just likes watching the sunrise. -- So he's in the kitchen, slipping something extra into his coffee and reading through the journal like it's a newspaper. Because it is, sorta.]

When is Halloween, anyway? [Gotta love journals, you never feel like you're talking to yourself.] I thought they'd have some other-dimension holidays, but I guess they want you to feel at home. ... Although they're going to have a hard time topping my last one.

[sometime after this]

[after scrounging for food, Jilly’s feeling wobbly, but more present. The people here are strange… even stranger than Newford and that was saying something… but they hadn’t given her any trouble and she hadn’t stuck around long enough to see if that would change. Now she’s hiding back in one of the alleys, away from prying eyes, and sifting through her satchel to see if, by some miracle, she’s got any dope she hasn’t used up yet.

It’s not that she really needs a fix. For some reason her body’s doing just fine. But with how strange everything’s gotten, she’s jonesing all the same. There’s no heroin though… and none of her works. Just a few crappy drawings on notebook paper and her books.

Now that she’s paying attention, the books get a frown. Things weren’t very clear, but she’s pretty sure she’d never seen one of those before. And, when she pulls it out, she’s certain. No way in hell that she’d ever have something as fancy as this. It’s obviously not hers. Too bad for whoever the fuck Jilly Coppercorn was. Still, half a name is as good a claim as any.

It’s even better when she opens it to find… well… the same wonderful journal that all the newbies in Para find. For a very long time she’s silent, just reading through. How many hours slip away, she’s not sure, but she’s stiff again by the time she finally dares to speak, her voice wary and tinged with a twang she usually fights to keep out]


So… I’m not really sure how this whole magic journal thing works… but one of you went and lost one. [a pause… she’s feeling kind of attached to the thing after flipping through and seeing all the private pictures, like illustrations from the books tucked in her bag…but she doesn’t really have anything else to trade] …anyone willing to give out a reward for finding one of these things?

[ooc: loss start. Jilly is 16 and filthy, but pretty easy to recognize since…yeah… she always looked young. Open over the journal or to anyone who might wander into an alley.]

[Ever have one of those days where you wake up and you just feel like crap for no real reason? Yosuke's having one of those days. He's just now getting up and out of bed, in the mid-afternoon, after having gone to sleep at a reasonable hour the night before. It really doesn't make much sense, there's been nothing outright bothering him lately, but he feels like he had the oddest dreams that he just can't remember...

Anyway, he's in the kitchen, at a random table, munching on a bowl of cereal and looking a little pale. The journal's open beside him, and he's flipping through the pages checking out what people have been up to today. You might hearing him munching a munch, maybe, if your hearing is amazing.

[Hit Girl is patrolling... the halls. It's not as if she has better things to do, but she's ticked off that the last skirmish she had was with Damian -- AND it got interrupted by some redhead.

Of course, she's currently stopped outside of a door on the third floor. Her ear pressed to the door for a moment before she's ... KICKING THE DOOR IN and surveying the scene. Shaking her head, she lets the dogs out of the room they've been locked in.

The dogs run to her, tails wagging and nosing at her for attention. Clearly, they can sense her inner violence. Sneering for a moment, she pulls out her journal, dictating aloud:]


Alright, whichever one of you fuckers thought it was okay to just lock up animals and neglect them - I've taken them off your hands. You don't have to abandon them anymore.

[she's DISGUSTED by your actions... even if you did leave food out for them. Of course, she realizes that she can just look at the name on the door, to find out which one of you did this to these ADORABLE puppies... of doom.]


Sam Winchester, asshole, you're on my list.

[It was the nature of the Arrangement that if necessary, Crowley and Aziraphale would cover for one another. It was not a part that the angel were particularly fond of, as he always felt ridiculously guilty after performing a wile1... but he would never dream of not honouring it.

With Crowley upset over Castiel and the other angel arriving from his world, he didn't imagine the demon was paying particular attention to his duties.

Which is why this morning found Aziraphale looking furtively around as he glued caisos to the lobby floor.

Feel free to notice his failures as a demon stand-in.]

Hello friends. Tea Party. 2pm. If you want to be there, be there. Also, if anyone who doesn't know me feels like coming and relaxing with a charming group of people, you're welcome to join.

As my room isn't the biggest, I decided everyone should grab a sweater and meet me outside. You'll find me under a big tree outside with a blanket big enough for a handful of us. You may want to bring another. There will be tea, hot chocolate, and whatever snacks I can scrape together by then. I believe there will also be alcohol for those legally allowed to drink it. Please feel free to bring whatever you like to share, we're not a picky group.

Hope to see you all there.


[and later this afternoon have Larry sitting under said big tree. He's chill in a pair of jeans and a red sweater, leaned back on his hands with his legs stretched out in front of him. He's just trying to enjoy the afternoon. Feel free to already be there or show up. Larry will be chatting with whoever may already be there. There are at least two thermoses; one with hot tea and one with hot chocolate.]

...I don't feel it, but I see it and it's persistent. But I'm seeing all sorts of things. I'm just dreaming.

But there's no continuity in dreams. I was in Bloodrust Mansion one moment and home with Violet and Nero the next, talking about different things. And I was at the clinic. I still remember Paradisa, therefore I am still in Paradisa, therefore I cannot cross over to different worlds freely. I am just sleeping.

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.
