So, how would one go about getting a job around here?

I have experience in retail and vengeance, though I'm much more interested in and qualified for a career in the former than the latter right now.

[...there's also the small problem of Anya not being able to touch money, but she'll find a way to cross that bridge eventually, she's sure.]

[ Mina had spent the past couple of days since finding herself in the castle trying to find out whatever information that she could. Whilst walking the castle she'd found a door with her name on and had taken a brief look inside, though her lack of a need to sleep made it so that she'd barely spent any time there. The quiet nights helped as Mina walked the halls of the castle and today she'd found herself in the library. At first she'd been pleasantly surprised by the amount that it contained but then realised that with something so large and powerful it was no real surprise ]

Perhaps now I may find something.

[ She didn't doubt that it would take a while, she didn't even really have a starting point but Mina was nothing if not determined and she was determined to find something ]

[ ooc; feel free to find her in the library or on the journal. She doesn't know it's broadcasting so have fun with her :D ]

Is there a man named Clark Kent who lives in the castle? I'd like to speak with him, if so.

[The beds in the clinic are horrible. Even in a magic castle, they smell like... sterile air and bleach. It's really no surprise that he can't stay asleep. By the time he wakes up, he's got some nice bandages to add to his wardrobe and the lovely residue of pain killers numbing most of what's underneath them. Spike doesn't really give a shit about broken bones though -- even if the journal is a pain in the ass to get open and set up a filter (although it was easy enough to find; they left it right on the bedside table), since Faye ran off before he could ask, he needs to clear a few things before he can try to find somewhere more comfortable to take a nap.]

( Abel )

ooc: Don't you hate it when you haven't seen a guy in a while, and he winds up in the clinic with a couple broken ribs and a snapped wrist? -- He swears he wasn't trying this time. It's not as bad as the icon, really! But he is pretty beat up thanks to his (completely accidental!) run in with Cain. He's been sleeping for more than a day after that. Totally open in the clinic/journal to the filter.

[Ianto is sat outside the tourist shop in town enjoying the Spring sunshine, the journal in his lap and a mug of coffee in his hand.]

I have to admit I rather liked Valentine's day this year, I was reminded of home which was nice. Who knew you could miss a decent Shepherd's pie.

[Chuckles softly]

Although I know what Paradisa is like so I hope everyone is relatively unharmed?

Oh! and before I forget, a warm welcome to our new arrivals. At least you avoided the snow.

Ah and Lorne, I've come up with a few new songs for my set on Tuesday, I hope you don't mind?

( Cut for length )

[ Wetness gathers in one molten gold eye as she kneels, her whole being wishing desperately that she could do more: more for her brother, more for her world...more for this world.

Her eyes close slowly, the single tear making its way down her elven face. For several seconds it lingers on her jaw--only separating itself from her with a soft exhale and an unspoken command. It hits the snowy ground without a sound and for several moments there is quiet. Silence shrouds the lifeless woods in all directions as Alexstrasza stands...and then open her eyes.

Golden energy flares forth from both the twin orbs of peridot and the Dragon Queen herself, filling the area with warmth and her very essence of life. Snow melts in all directions in the blink of an eye and dormant vegetation, sleeping with winter's chill suddenly wakes and flourishes. Lush grass sprouts, small Paradisan flowers begin to bloom...and from where a single tear fell, something begins to sprout.

It's small at first, barely the size of a twig...but it grows swiftly, thickening and darkening into the deep rough color of bark. More branches sprout out of it as the plant expands in all direction, reaching high up into the sky. All over it leaves sprout, unaffected by cold...and within minutes before her stands a mature oak tree

And it is beneath its great boughs that she chooses to kneel, head bowed lightly and one hand rested gently against it, as though she means to try and comfort the land itself ]


[ ooc; MOD APPROVED. Also an open post! If your character can sense magic then they will have noticed a HUGE power spike...but of a benevolent nature. This tree will be a permanent part of Paradisa from now on :> for more info, go here ]

[loisfuckinglane.livejournal.com]

Ok, so it looks like this place has suffered through more shotgun weddings or sudden engagements than Vegas on a good day thanks to V-Day...  

But hopefully all that wackiness has died down by now, so that we-- [She bumps Clark's elbow so that he'll speak up]  Say something, honey so they know you're there.

[Clark's voice cuts in with only:]  Hello...   [Before Lois promptly cuts him off again]

So that we can break some real news.

[She sounds purely jubilant, and after only the most infinitesimal of pauses, she bursts out with it:]

Clark and I are engaged.

[She tries, sort of, to rein her tone, but she's still grinning ear to ear, and it's easy to hear.]

Technically, we got engaged back home, but it wasn't really the world's best timing to announce when I got back here.  But we wanted to let everyone know.

We're down in the lobby if you want to see the ring.  Rings, actually, Smallville's got one too.

[After a moment of wondering if she's done, Clark tacks on:]  Cheers everyone.

[Open over the journals, or down in the lobby where she is forcing her poor hapless fiancee to sit with her.  :'D]

[Wally's not so sure about this whole journal thing, but apparently he can't get rid of it anyway so he figures he may as well give it a try. He has no idea how it records, though, since it's not like there's a handy lens or anything to hint at how to set it up, so he settles for propping it open on a desk and facing it like he would a webcam.

Which leaves him talking to a book.]

...this feels stupid. I mean, I'm talking to a book. And not only that, but I'm talking to a magical, creepy book that's also a stalker because it keeps following me around and I'm in a weird castle with a room that can change size and stuff but won't let me leave and apparently there's weird parties and things that mess with people but you know what?

[And he finally pauses for a breath. There's a lot of pent up tension to get through, okay?]

I can deal with all that. Really. I won't even ask any questions about the weird effects and talking birds and things. But what I really wanna know is; what's wrong with all the food? Don't people get sick of it all tasting so bland?

सत्ताईस - 27 - An Indian guy and curries. Pfft Stereotypes, what stereotypes?

[drugged-chai.livejournal.com]

[And in the second curry centered post in as many months Mohinder has set out a long table in the grass outside, chairs all around and all the way down the table are dishes, curries he's made from Tandoori to Sambar. Plates with mountains of rice and others with piles of naan are scattered along the tables with towers of poppadoms.


There is even if you look carefully, a curry pizza although Mohinder is not entirely sure how that appeared. Also present is raita, mango chutney, mango pickle and salad.

Not forgetting of course, drinks, water, lassi and maybe a few bottles of coke are around too.)



If anyone's hungry I'm holding a picnic outside in the grounds, you're more than welcome.




(OOC: Can you guess I'm a little hungry, well Me, Ena, Yuff...? Anyway Open post is open, everyone's welcome. No curry Pizza sheep though)

Twenty First

[mademyownpath.livejournal.com]

[John's over at the shooting range today. It's rare he comes to this place, but shooting at crap can be soothing, especially when an English fella tries to get hitched to a girl he sees as a little sister while under the castle's influence.

But, as seen as Kaylee would probably be mad at him if he shot Wesley, he's settling for obliterating the targets at the range with that freakish Dead Eye Mode excellent shooting skill of his.

Clearly this is the best time ever to bother him]

[Neal is currently sitting at the bar in the Lux, sipping a glass of wine and mostly being pensive and quiet to himself. If he could he would get out of the castle for a while, but that's not an option, so he's just going to sit there, by himself. Journal's open on the bar next to him, so be careful what you say. Never know who could hear it.

Which clearly means someone should bother him. A lot of someones actually.]

[all things considered, Booth is in a surprisingly good mood. Sure, Valentines had been...weird. And it's not that he's happy anyone was hurt. But there was something satisfying about working a case again (once he got past the tension that came from knowing someone out there was responsible and still free). Add in the fact that there's a church, a place in town to get pie (a serendipitous find while doing a bit of exploring), and no one trying to kill himself or Brennan in the past week? Things could be looking up.]

So what are the hotspots around here? You all have to do something when you aren't causing riots or sacrificing people on alters, right?

[the-girl-aflame.livejournal.com]

[Oh man... this is so awkward for her. Katniss has never really used a journal. Let alone spoken into one before. It's quite a new experience. This gets dictated cautiously and slowly, as if she's making sure the thing has time to get all of her words down]

...Hello? My name... is Katniss Everdeen. I am sixteen years old. A few days ago, me and my... friend arrived here. It's all a bit... overwhelming. I've never really been in a place like this before... It's amazing, in a way.

[A pause] ...Has anyone ever heard of the Hunger Games before? Or a place called Panem?

[There's a sigh] I have so many questions...

[There's the sound of someone stumbling into a dresser, causing all the things on it to rattle and a sharp]

Ow! [Before she glances around and realizes...There's nobody else here with her, and the breathing picks up a bit panicked for a second, before the door's wrenching open and there's footsteps going towards the end of the hall and then the journal will fall silent]


[ooc: Like Eli, Solara's not really interested in anything in the room, and is just looking for the way out, so feel free to run into her either outside or somewhere in the castle!]
