✘ six

[reshaper.livejournal.com]

I wasn't really sure what to do for Thanksgiving here, but I think Jr. definitely has the right idea. With everything that has happened lately, it'll be nice to just kick back and relax for the day. Plus, I've been meaning to check out that Season's Room for awhile now, so this totally works out in the long run.

[Not long after this and the accompanied roaring, a hastily spoken warning appears over the journal.]

Alexstrasza is here! The Dragon Queen! Get indoors if you can, she... there may be danger!

[A minute later, after some counseling...]

Everyone, listen, please. Do not bother the dragon, and don't attack her.

[Better than panicking, right?]

I wonder...even with such a big castle, and about three hundred people here, how much of this place still goes unused. I know there's places like the dining hall, and the ballroom, which only seem to get used when there's some big event on...but I've had Okami in the base of Ira Tower for some time now and I don't think I've ever seen anyone even climb the stairs.

Surely some of this place could get repurposed...?

Ladies.

Being the popular and well-known pillars of the community you are, I imagine you may already have plans for this Thursday. If your afternoon happens to be free, though, I'd take it as a personal favor if you didn't keep it that way.

I'm headed to a shindig a couple friends are throwing down in town. Turkey. Football. The classics. Care to hang off my arm?

Wish 10

[raisedbyacat.livejournal.com]

[There is a small explosion in one of the shops in town, luckily it isn't much more than smoke and noise, and the building and shop itself is still okay. There is a lot of black smoke billowing out of open windows and the door though, and it makes for quite the spectacle. The journal as well decided to carry over the noise, and some of the smoke that had hit it, to anyone who might have been browsing.

In front of the store a young man stands leaning over coughing deeply. There's a cat near by looking a bit uncomfortable himself as well.]

I'm... I'm getting tired of this.

[running across an ad for a certain bookstore in town reminds her-- she wants stuff. So, on her way down to the shop, she flips her journal open]

For my party,  I would like presents.
I like books, decorations for my room, stuffed animals, and flowers.

[shortly after, she arrives at a certain odd bookstore, and peeks into the window. ...Anybody in there?]

Another holiday is approaching, and I am again attempting to grasp the significance of it. This 'Thanksgiving' is not a Japanese holiday. Is the purpose as straightforward as the name suggests? Giving thanks... If that is the case, what precisely is thanks being given for? I would like to know.

[there is a Sweets in a kitchen. He's trying to make pie. "Trying" being the operative word. he found some recipes in the library for pumpkin and he wants to contribute to the Thanksgiving spirit for those who celebrate. He has a genius IQ -- really, how hard could it be?

Turns out? Really freaking hard.

Sweets is covered in flour and bits of pie crust and pumpkin mash, and is even getting some of this on the journal as he exhales heavily]

Okay. Does anyone around here know how to make pie?

[ ... he may sound more than a little frustrated there]

[someone is still under the effects of Lorne. He's been out having fun, visiting friends, and being a generally happy, go-lucky person. And he's been partying some. All in all...he's been college!Larry all week. And part of that is getting involved in theatre. Which is where this all comes from....]


So...how many actors do we have here?

I want to put on a play. There is a specific title in mind, but I wanted to get an idea of how many people might be interested in auditioning before settling on what to put on. We will need men and women! And...if any kids want to try out...well, we can figure something out I'm sure.

It'll be a blast! I promise. I already have Archie on board, and the assistance of Ms. Sophie Devereaux, as she's an expert on productions such as this. [no, he hasn't seen her act yet. ssshhhh]

Put your name down if you're interested, or if you know someone that might be.

Also, it will be a musical, but you don't have to be musically inclined. We can make anything work.


[and eventually he'll find his way to the roof where he will chill. He...may have found something special to smoke. Don't worry, he won't do it in front of the young and impressionable]

So, who wants to explain this "Thanksgiving" festival that everyone keeps talking about?

[lookatmyepichat.livejournal.com]

What an interesting opportunity there is before me! Not often lately have I had the opportunity to visit other the planes, yet here is a chance that I feel I must seize, for I do not know when it is that I shall return home. Yet how frustrating this is – I was in the middle of a rather important mission when I ended up… here. I must admit, this place is far more beautiful than Luskan, and I like that it seems less likely to end up buried under several feet of ash.

I must find my companions, however. Did they come here as well, or are they still toiling through the Underdark, searching high and low for Gauntlgrym? This question, I hope, will be answered soon.

This is a most interesting journal. I certainly did not fill all these pages. How very remarkable. Am I to understand then that others may be reading what I write?

[Lorne has finally come out of hiding and is working in Caritas again, his journal open beside him]

Hookay, it's been way more than a week, so this crazy loss of doom has to be over by now, right? I mean, no one else has suddenly had the desire to do something crazy after talking to me lately, so it's got to be fading like a boy band's career after they hit twenty six.

Boy was that all kinds of creepy, remind me never to announce my anniversary here again, guys, okay?

[[ooc: No, it's not over, but this is your last 24 hours. If you want your character to be hit by the Lorne effect, this is your last chance, tomorrow, his loss ends and everyone still under his spell will return to normal (assuming they haven't done so already)]]

FORWARD-DATED: Thanksgiving Day

[variare.livejournal.com]

[ So winter is right around the corner. Who cares! That doesn't mean there can't be fun in the sun, right? That's exactly what this is. The beach is pristine, water glistening under the clear blue sky and beaming sun. The temperature is absolutely perfect no matter how you look at it, so you better have put on a swimsuit!

There's a couple picnic tables packed to the brim with various lunch and snack foods that people brought with them, and various lawn chairs, towels, and beach umbrellas set up nearby for people to relax and sunbathe.

There's also some tropical-style music playing from somewhere, but good luck trying to figure out where! Have a ball, guys! ]



[ ooc; If you're looking at this like 'WTF IS GOING ON', then check here or here. Anyone who's anyone is welcome to join this party. And remember, the majority of it happens before sundown, so characters can still hit this up and then go have a traditional Thanksgiving elsewhere. It just means they might miss out on s'mores. ;D

SECTIONS ARE UP. Remember, this is set up to take place on Thursday, so this is obviously backtag friendly! Don't worry about being late, and just add in your character's tag if you want them to join in! ]

[It had been an average day at best, which after the absurdity that was that expedition, is not a bad thing to have. Until he decided to stop at one of his favourite spots within Paradisa to get some much needed piece and quiet. He hadn't been disturbing anyone, so he cannot begin to fathom why he's being plagued like this ;;

He's currently power walking in zip zagging directions all over the grounds of Paradisa, looking like he's been doing this for quite some time. Irritation levels? Maxed out] Stop following me! What is the matter with you?! The pond is where you belong!

[ hello paradisa, how are you enjoying your day? how are you enjoying the fact that there is suddenly blood on the latest page of the journal?

looks like someone should be a little more careful in the future.

...yeah, turns out that pesky loss thing? actually really inconvenient. even so, the voice coming over the journals here doesn't sound as...bothered as it maybe should. ]


Ah, I should hope that was not too alarming...my apologies.


That aside-- given the time of year, I have wondered, are there many here who would consider their time here something for which to be thankful? Whether due to the conditions of their previous lives, or some quality here, it is a sentiment I have heard here before on more than one occasion.

Despite your imprisonment here, despite what this castle has taken from you...are you "happy" to be here?

the bouncy music allows it to be apparent that it is, no doubt, Caritas. after all, there's a few people singing along with the person on stage, who seems to be tearing through the last few lines of a particularly significant karaoke staple...]

♪ --ooooh, see that girl, watch that scene, diggin' the dancing queen! [and there may be a little bit of hip swaying here, just. ever so. slightly.] Diggin' the BANSHEE Queen! ♫

OPEN IN ALL FORMS. TO ANYONE. wtf through the journal or wtf in person. if you choose the former, I'll try to think of a song for her to serenade to them if they engage her. if you choose the latter, Sylvanas will most likely drag your character on stage with her and make them sing with her. sdfghjdfghj DOO EET. just tell me which one you pick, fff.)</sub>

[There's the sounds of a quiet morning as Dick relaxes by a window. On the ground floor.

He was trying not to think too much about it, but who could forget a personal invitation from Superman, himself? And who could forget the reason he hasn't celebrated Thanksgiving with the rest of the Bats in a while. It would be one thing if it was just going to be his Bruce, his Tim; but with so many other people? It's not fair to them. Not to mention the people he's been trying to actively avoid.

Dick sits there far too long, though, weighing pros and cons over and over again, trying to see if the pros will come out on top at all.

. . . sigh.] It won't be the same without Alfred's turkey anyway.

[soft humming can be heard over the journals, along with the sounds of sizzling and the soft clink of cooking materials in the background. With the cold weather, Puddleglum is back to invading the kitchen for his cooking needs]

[after a few minutes of this, he'll finally acknowledge the journal. It's the same, ponderous tone, but he almost sounds....happy]

With many preparing feasts this week, there's likely fear that the castle will choose to intervene. It certainly has a history, I suppose. But there's no point in worrying about it. So soon after the last holiday, it's likely to leave us all alone. Best to just go ahead with plans.

Even if matters do take a turn for the worse, we'll no doubt be able to handle it. Mark my words.


[and then it's back to cooking, though the journal is still open.]

[ooc:Paradisa's dose of depression just got a mood reversal thanks to this thread with Lorne. It won't last for long... just the next two days... but anyone who answers over the journal or comes to the kitchen will find a very content, optimistic Marsh Wiggle.]

[It really wasn't on that the Arrangement's more onerous clauses had to be brought in twice in such a short period of time, but it was clear that Crowley wasn't in any state to perform wiles at the moment, which left the duty solely on this angel's shoulders.

Feeling a little guilty, he waited for the impending havoc as ALL the residents of paradisa would wake up to find their shoes were all a size too small for their feet now.¹

Wandering up to Crowley's room, he opened his journal and dictated before knocking.]

I'm terribly sorry.²


1. There was no situation more irritating in Aziraphale's mind, than to realize your shoes were too tight, pinching toes and making walking uncomfortable.

2. Perhaps an apology wasn't quite the right response to committing a devious act of mischief. But really, he felt so horribly guilty.


[ooc: Open over the journals, feel free to have your shoes affected by Aziraphale's miracling... and in person for Crowley.]
