[Weeks of Inactivity later... Written by Pucci who has been merely observing more than anything lately.]

How many of you would label your powers as something 'abnormal' or 'one of a kind' where you are from? For what reason does this apply and are you persecuted at all for those powers, or do you just merely keep them hidden?

On the other end, how many people once lived in a place that powers are not uncommon? Is there a certain sort of social standard for those who have powers (i.e, what is their position in society) or are they just fit in like any other person?

[as the sun starts to rise Puddle can be found sitting out in the cool air, webbed feet dangling in the duck pond, considering the beautiful plants that have suddenly sprung into existence. It's the perfect, spring morning. Dew on the grass, flowers starting to bloom, and clear, clear skies.





Frowning to himself...]
It'll probably rain, later.

[Darien feels like a little mischief today. So, he's sitting in various heavily trafficked areas of the castle, library, lobby, hallways etc, with a big bag of pretzels and a big gulp of coke, looking for all the world like his legs cut off mid thigh. In actuality, however, his legs are invisible and he's got them stretched out riiiight where people might trip over them. All that's left to do is munch on his pretzels and wait for some unsuspecting people to walk by.]

((ooc: Open in person! He gets bored easily, and would move around, so feel free to trip over see him anywhere in the castle. Replies when I get back from work))

The festival thing was decent.

At least it offered good eats.

I'm not complaining.

If anybody needs me I'll be at the bar.

[Added shortly afterward as an afterthought.]

The one I didn't have a hand in destroying.

[Added as another afterthought a few moments later.]

Oh, and I guess... thanks. To those of you that checked up on me when I was comatose. Not sure about all of you, but I appreciate it.

[Dean is seated with a burger in front of him and shots lined up to his left and he's taking them one at a time while he eats. Anyone that notices him will see that the bridge of his nose is still bandaged and the bruising there has moved from purple to a pale yellowish and blue combination that isn't as bad as it was prior, but still pretty grodey. He gives no fucks. A fight was just what he needed to level himself out with Cair Paradisa and he looks more content than he's been since arrival. His journal is in his coat pocket and being ignored for a moment while he indulges in the food in front of him. Feel free to bother him, he's in a fairly good mood, he might hold a conversation with you in return.]

[After the way this month started, she's been quiet. She knows she's been quiet and why, and has put off a few things more than she should. She just hasn't felt up to doing much. Like talking into a magical book. But, hey, since it decided to open....]

I-I see that the festival was just a few days ago... Um, for those who went. What was it like? It seems as if it didn't go wrong...

...And this might seem a little odd. But earlier in the month, I-I was talking with...someone. And somehow it was mentioned that it seems as though we only use the library for research. Or when something is happening. And...and something about maybe starting a book club. I-I'm curious if anyone actually might be interested in something like that. I-If not, that's more than all right, too.

I-I just figured...I may as well ask. [So she can say she at least did that.]



[ ooc: open, so open. Also absolutely nothing is set in stone about this. It's just a very tentative idea. Oh, and I really hate to post and run, but...replies will come after I get off work tonight. ]

Okay, so I've got a favor to do. And since I really don't feel like wandering up and down the castle checking names against a list just yet, I figured I'd try this with the easy part first. If you're new and done screaming, either make a journal note to me or drop by in the lobby, okay? Look for the person in black armor. Same if somebody you know ended up leaving.

And yes, this has a point. I'm not doing it for my health.

[Tex, true to her word, can be found in the lobby, leaning against a wall. Census taking isn't her thing, but the updating of CastleNet'll keep her busy while York is gone. Might as well get the hard part done now.]

There's going to be a wedding here! Everyone heard about it, right? It's so exciting, I really want to go too. I've never been to one before, but I bet they're really neat, and everyone's all dressed up, and celebrating...

I really wish I could see it, but I wouldn't mind just being able to be there at all.

I've never been to a wedding before, but what's it like? There's lots of food and dancing, right? And everyone must look so nice, too! It's really great, isn't it?

[ Yeah, this little boy is way too excited about weddings. He'll probably just keep going if no one stops him. ]

I have a quick question, if anyone's got an answer.

...

How do you take good care of a parrot? I once took care of a sparrow, but that's really different... size, and all...

... That makes three pets now, doesn't it... Where does Tamaki keep getting these things?

Guess I should name the guy too. Any ideas?

[There's the sound of fumbling. Katara has gotten the hang of how these journals work, but just barely.]

I've been here a few weeks now, I guess. Um - there's a town outside of the castle, right? What sorts of things are there? And is it dangerous to explore?

[She wants to branch out, and as long as she's trapped there, she might as well figure out what this place has to offer. She just can't help but be a little ginger about it.]

And Zuko? I'd like to talk to you, please. Will you meet me in the lobby when you hear this?

I have yet to grow used to documenting my thoughts within these journals. It is not a real diary. It seems too strange. How often do people rely on this instead of true interaction. Is 'Pleased to meet you' really the right thing to say when you haven't actually met someone?

There are many here I have spoken to, but do not know. To speak to someone, and yet not recognize them when passing them on the street, seems alien to me. But so many think nothing of it. Is this sort of method for communication common in future times, or other worlds?

I'm only curious.

It's fine.

She probably should have left the journal behind, though.

Oh wow! That festival was really fun! I took some plants back to my, er, room, and they make everything look much nicer. Even though I had to clean up a lot of things to make room for the plants...Josh you really need a maid. Because I'm not cleaning your dirty clothes up anymore.

There's a reason why I'm, um, talking right now, and it's because I have this really great idea! Well, I think it's great, but you might...

[Falters.] But! The idea is that maybe we can set up a play. Like Shakespeare! It's the perfect season for the theater and I think everyone would really like to participate, or at least watch and experience. Shakespeare has a way of getting in your head and sticking. It helps with stress, and is artistic and charismatic.

[Gets excited.] And I was thinking that the play could be A Midsummer Night's Dream. It's perfect for the season, since it's warming up outside. And it allows more people to participate.

So. Tell me what you think!

[ you know what uru loves about spring? well... everything, yes. the cool breeze, the clean air and the abundance of greenery everywhere is always breathtaking when the seasons change in paradisa. even if it was all done by magic, it was still something that made her pause every now and then to take in the sight.

and there was a lot of staring today but it was not at the weather. now that spring had come, uru had decided julian the bird (ZEKE...) needed to actually go OUTSIDE and not be cooped up in her apartment. so she had taken a walk through the city with the blue-footed bird waddling behind her (occasionally losing him in the crowd) and taking him all the way up to the duck pond near the castle.

she sits at the edge of the pond, eating banana bread and suddenly she notices the quacking from the side. ]


Oh, the ducks are back! [ a pause as she watches them slip into the pond water. ] Where did they go in the first place...?

[ the following is dictated with denzel voice boiii quietly, but firmly ]

It's clear that this region is split. Those who live in the city are self-sufficient and don't make use of the...'journals'. Whereas the other half of the population rely on the luxuries offered by the castle without question.

Why do you think that is?

[Josh is walking through the lobby towards the staircase muttering something about how his room was messier back home than it is here while he flips through the journal.]

Just wondering, does anyone know how strong the castle's influence is? This is starting to get to me, but... every time someone manages to knock themselves out here, I can't seem to wake them up again, even if I take care of all the injuries. So I'm just taking a stab in the dark here, but that probably means it's more than just coincidental accidents causing the problem.

[Lois can't help but feel like it's not a coincidence that the second she got done putting the finishing touches on her Dead Zone report update, she finds out Lex Luthor has shown up at the castle.  Paradisa really seems fond of those sort of karmic backslaps, and the deeper she digs, the more retaliation she's steeled herself to expect.

But if the two things
are connected, she's not about to budge one single inch.  The castle managed a nice blow to her usually unshakable confidence when it rendered her a vessel for destruction and death only a few months ago, most likely as punishment for her efforts to undermine it.  However, as she'd told Lana in the aftermath of that tragedy, the most effective way for her to fight back is to keep going - and not be bullied into submission, even when the castle threatens her loved ones.  

Doing as much would be giving in to fear and despair: and back home, she's learned the importance of fighting against both those things.

Not to mention, as usual, she's just plain stubborn as all hell.]

I know it's taken awhile, but I've finished adding in new information uncovered during the incident as Mineas Well, as well as from a few other sources, into my old report.  A lot of appreciation goes to the Fifth Doctor, who'd compiled much of it already.  

The report's here, and the new stuff should all be highlighted in red.  I'd appreciate people double-checking to make sure I didn't miss anything that's popped up.

With the weather clearing up again, I imagine we'll get to revisit the idea of further expeditions sometime in the next couple months.  Obviously, we still have those tin cans to contend with, but these gifts from Flora might help us figure out a way to reverse engineer an edge up.  And it's sure as hell worth the effort to try.

Either way, I'm planning on heading over to Mineas Well sometime in the next few weeks to talk to Flora myself.

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.
