A long time coming.

I know this castle's magic but sometimes if you're sick, you're sick and no amount of waiting around is going to cure that. If you have a fever, a cold, a cough, I suggest you drop by the clinic. We're not going to poke you with a needle and if you can't swallow a pill, I can offer alternative ways for you to take your medicine. If you hate doctors and want to avoid seeing us, I hope you at least have the common sense to stay indoors and get lots of rest. If you spread your germs to your roommates, don't complain if they curse at you because they will curse at you. If you're not a doctor, but think you can self-diagnose and fix yourself, and if you harm yourself more than fix yourself, don't get insulted when I yell at you for being an idiot.

I am available for consultations on weekdays and every other weekend. I am, however, unavailable after 10PM unless it's an emergency. And by emergency, I mean, heart attacks, strokes, sudden blindness, swollen legs, high fevers. Don't expect me to come running to you at midnight to fix a runny nose. Also, if you or anyone you know experiences a bad allergic reaction, call me immediately. If you don't already have an EpiPen with you at all times, come get one at the clinic. This one strikes close to home.

Does Paradisa have a bowling alley?

[ the journal opens to the sound of rushing wind; people may have heard it before whenever a super dictated while flying

and that is certainly what Kid is doing

except instead of flying around in a cape or some such, Kid is just flying on... a flying skateboard ]


The moon certainly looks large tonight. [ he pauses a moment as he dictates, absently looking up towards the moon overhead ] I'm not sure I'll ever be used to this one, but... ah, it's much more beautiful than the one where I'm from.

This moon is much more aesthetically pleasing. Not perfect, mind you, [ what with its craters and such ] but not bad by any means.

At any rate, it's a beautiful night. You should all take the time to come outside and enjoy it.

[ Since he has discovered the level his room is on has access to the roof, Sheik has frequented it. It feels strange to be cooped up in a castle again after so long away from one, so he enjoys the openness the roof provides. Today he is perched near the edge with his harp, eyes closed as he focuses on his music.

Sheik's journal has fallen open, but he has not yet noticed. Instead, it picks up the sound of his harp playing, slow and calm. While it sometimes diverges into more complicated melodies, it always circles back to one refrain, obviously familiar to the player's fingers.

There seems to be an unusual amount of people being turned into animals or statues lately. Does anyone know why it happens and what we can do to prevent it from happening? I don't want to risk being turned into one, especially when someone like Voldemort could show up in Paradisa at anytime. If you don't know who Voldemort is, he killed my parents and is responsible for the death of many other wizards and non-wizards alike. He is also responsible for the scar on my forehead and he wants me dead. I'm not afraid of Voldemort, but I can't fight him without the use of my wand.

Also, over a week ago, Draco Malfoy was turned into a ferret. I tried to untransfigure him with the use of a spell but it didn't work. If magic can't undo what the castle has done, I don't know what will. If you see a white ferret anywhere in the castle, don't try to pick him up. He bites.

[ the good thing about the dining room is that, for the most part, it is one of those rooms that gets little use, thus it is a perfect place for someone to say... practice controlling fire with their mind! which is exactly what Morgana is doing as she sits at the table, with an assortment of different candles in front of her.

nothing happens for some time, the suddenly her eyes glow gold and fire springs to life on one of the candles. success! now the hard part...

[Xander woke up in the clinic this morning feeling very sore and groggy. He hazily remembers a lot of surprise drinks from Lorne, a terrible awesome interesting rendition of "Rawhide", and not much else. If he did remember, he would remember accidentally jumping off of the stage at Caritas and knocking his head a couple times on the way down.

Someone will have to clue him in eventually.

But he woke up, and once given a look over was let go. After being out for several days, his first thought is food. He has a rumbly tummy that needs nourishment! Nourishment it will have, because he's going to the kitchen. Journal in hand. Food comes even before looking to see what he has missed. He knows he's been out for a few days now, but everything seems to be standing so he won't worry just yet.

He's in the kitchen and he's pulling out food, starting with a box of cereal. His hand shoves in and he stuffs it in his mouth and- immediately he spits it out]


BLECH! What...what is this? [turns the box around to examine it and makes a confused frowny face. Then pushes it aside and goes to find something else.

Oh look, chips. Same method. Spitting out again]
Bad taste. Very very bad taste...

[opens his journal as he's grabbing some tasty toaster pastries. Rinse and repeat, gag reflex] Oh god that's horrible! Why-what-

[addresses the journal now] EVERYONE! EVERYONE FREEZE! SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH ALL OF THE FOOD!

[yes, there is shouting. And panic. As he finds more food to shove in his mouth and spit out. This probably isn't a pretty sight.]

[Nico really didn't mean to fall asleep on the kitchen floor. But it's been two weeks since the whole kidnapping debacle ended, and he still isn't sleeping at night; not since the first night back, when he slept for twenty peaceful hours. Sleeping for that long just messed with his sleep patterns, and ever since he hasn't been tired until three or four in the morning. So he's taken to wandering the castle at night.

But of course, he has to crash eventually. And last night, he didn't quite make it back to his bed first.

So, in the kitchen on this fine morning, there's something you probably don't see often - a small boy curled up on the floor in front of the microwave, fast asleep - and completely in the way of anyone using said microwave. On the counter above him, there's a mug of room temperature hot chocolate. 

Feel free to poke, prod, tickle with a feather, et cetera. With the knowledge that this kid has wicked reflexes, and will probably deck you in the face if you try to pull anything.]

[So Harley's woken up in a bed that isn't hers with someone she didn't know, suffered a mild psychotic break upon learning there are no good stores around (but there are wishes), annoyed half the bat-dorks in the place just by being, well, her, taken on The Case of the Evil Pasta, and has finally found her room. WHAT IS SHE GOING TO DO NEXT?]

Heads up, castle! I'm decorating! And you better not get stingy with the wish-granting!

[aaaaaaaand after taking care of moving her stuff back into her old room, someone has set up shop in the kitchen! she's stirring a big old bowl of cake batter... in fact it looks like it might be heavy, but she's having no trouble holding it in one hand. However once she has decided that it is sufficiently stirred, she'll turn around to put it back on the counter top but....

yep, she stumbles a bit and the bowl starts to fall. However, here is the amazing part, SHE CATCHES IT!!!! A little bit of batter falls on the floor, but overall she just looks shocked and amazed at her epic catch. She'll just put it back on the counter and look around, as if checking to see if anyone saw that]

[Today on Castlenet, another new game has appeared. It seems to concern pressing certain keys to make a man run. It’s harder than it sounds. Crowley’s not going to mention this, of course. He’ll just listen over the journals for people venting their own frustrations about the blessed thing. No, today, he has a score to settle]

So, who here wants to have their ears talked off in an ultimate example of too long, didn’t read? Well, worry no longer about not getting your fix, I have the answer right here.

[He draws a circle around Aziraphale’s last entry]

Just talk to this guy. He’ll happily babble to you nonstop about the most mundane subjects known to man. All you have to do is utter three simple words: ‘Tell. Me. More’. And before you ask, if you sing those words in tune to a certain world famous musical number, he won’t get it. He’s been living in a metaphorical cave since 1944.

For a laugh, you should send him to your friends, tell him they want to hear about how dollies are made or something. The pranking fun can never cease.

[[OOC: As always his Crowley’s Castlenet inventions, feel free to have your character notice it’s arrival here, or use it as something to make a post about. Go nuts]]

[the journal is greeted with the quiet fhumph of a body settling down into something plush, the shifting of limbs folding and a contented sigh following quickly after. a scant five seconds pass before the voice pipes up, oddly ambiguous beneath its melody and passive vague allure]

Hello. I was wondering if anyone would be so kind as to help me.

I'm looking for a man by the name of "Johnny Rayflo" - he's a very dear friend of mine, and I'm so very worried about him. It seems I must have left him behind, and I'd hate for him to feel abandoned without knowing I'd done the very best I could to find him. If you happen to meet him, whether soon or some time in the future, do tell him 'Barry's waiting'. I'd be much obliged.

[for a few moments quiet falls again, heavy with deliberation, a faint rush of air audible as the pages of the journal are brought together ready to close-- and then, with a tone of mild interest:]

Oh. How thoughtful. I seem to have a whole new wardrobe.

[A glance outside shows him it's ridiculously late, by the time he makes it out of his bed, after accidentally falling asleep in the middle of reading a book about possession. When he stumbles downstairs to see Allen in the living room, he's a little pleased. Because he definitely doesn't feel well, and he's in a mood that's a cross between acting like nothing's wrong, and demanding being catered to]

Mm...What are you playing?

[He's irrationally irritated by the fact that once he's close enough, he can see that tell tale white hair start to brush past the collar of his shirt, leaning over the back of the couch slightly to bury his fingers in his hair and massage slightly at his scalp. This is you, being lulled into a false sense of security~] It appears to be stressing you out.

[In the Ineffable Plan, many things were undecipherable and not meant to be understood by mortal men. However, some things were laid out in black and white1. Like thou shalt not murder, and wearing pink and lime green together causes a seizure in Lawrence Llewelyn Bowen. One of the lesser known laws of the universe, was that angels whose names began with A and ended with Ziraphale2 were not permitted to use innuendo at any time.

Apparently Paradisa had not received this memo3, as a certain angel woke up this morning with a distinct difference to his vocabulary. When he spoke, his voice was reminiscent of a middle-aged Italian professor called Pablo, which was quite a feat considering he retained his British accent, and every word was layered in suggestion.

The journal is open wide on the table, catching Aziraphale's voice as he speaks to one of the ghosts who is working in the library.]


That's a stiff leather binding, allow me to shelve that for you.

1. Or stone coloured and slightly engraved grooves, if you wanted to be accurate about the way the rules were originally laid out on Moses' tablets.

2. Which was three of them. Aziraphale, Aeziraphale and A'ziraphale -- Aziraphale didn't speak to his two name counterparts, they both worked for accounting and were too dull for words.

3. Not surprising, as Heaven's memo system was hugely outdated. If you wanted mail on time, you had to go to Hell for that.

Festa Della Primavera... The First Day of Spring. Of course this isn't a translation, but that is what tomorrow is also supposed to be. And that's all it is. Yet there are books upon books full of mythology on why it is. All death and resurrection, hope for new life, those sorts of things.

[Spike hadn't really looked at the invitation left at his door until he picked up a journal and overheard people talking. Same kind of talk you hear every time there's a party going on, and he has to hand it to them, they never quit with the optimism. But there's always a chance this one won't end in horror, so he doesn't feel obligated to spoil the fun.]

They really love their festivals.

[The food usually isn't half bad at least; and that's the thought that leads him to his journey downstairs. On his way to the kitchen (which was theoretically where he meant to go), he happens to pass by the Death Match and stops -- like he's got a weird sixth sense about something. Or maybe he just felt like sticking around a little longer after all.

He realizes he's still got the journal open, so he asks of nobody in particular.]


Ever feel like you missed something? [He starts towards the entrance, since he hasn't visited them in a while. Not when anything exciting was going on. As much as he's heard about the other use for the bar, he's never been around for it.] It's called the Death Match for a reason, right?

She just woke up a little while ago, being the nocturnal creature that she is, and as such is pretty sleepy. She begins floating down the stairs, but kind of misjudges what she's doing and trips pretty spectacularly on the step.

And then starts to tumble down all four flights of stairs, to the lobby below.

So it's spring time already is it? If no one had been talking about it I might have missed out on noticing. You see back home we have this little fairy that likes to announce spring. She runs around and shoots danmaku everywhere to give it a big warm welcome. Though it's kind of annoying it's weird to not see it right now. This must mean the cherry trees are going into bloom here too. Maybe I should have a little flower viewing later on.

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.
