[Here Paradisa! Have an Angela. She's in better spirits and fully recovered from her attack. She sounds just a little reserved but mostly back to her old self.]

Hey all you fellow kidnappees. I've been hearing something about an art gallery here? I've got quite a few pieces here that I'd like show or even sell. And if anyone needs any art, feel free to come by my room, I can show you what I've got. I've got things all kinds.


[ooc: Anyone can feel free to come by her room and she can show you some art!]

[ He'd gone quiet again for awhile, and to make sure no more awkward cuddling happened, John decided to check in on Dave and make sure he was still in his room, but after walking across the hall he realized something.

No name on the door.

And when he opens the door, none of his things are there.

but that doesn't mean... does it?

[ Rory can't sleep. She's currently wandering through the castle. She stops in the gardens for light reading, in the kitchen for a midnight snack and coffee that tastes like lemonade, and the library, perusing the shelves.

She finally ends up outside Death Match. She's heard about it but has never gone in. What could it hurt? Inside, she gives a good look around. It's not her place but maybe tonight she needs something unlike herself.

Maybe if she can't drink coffee, she can drink alcohol. Who'd have thunk not drinking coffee could keep a girl up? ]


[ ooc: Feel free to run into Rory anywhere throughout the castle in the elevator, on the stairwell, hallways, library, kitchen, etc. She even made it to the roof for a bit. Or at Death Match. ]

[It was a strange morning, otherwise feeling completely normal except for the fact that Meta felt compelled to do some very odd things. He tried to ignore them for the longest time, but eventually the urges won out, and he settled himself down on the roof in what was as close to a lotus position as fully armored could get and ... meditated, growling low and sustained in his own little form of chanting. This shouldbe obvious to everyone since the journal fell open when he was trying to sit.]

[Several hours later and he's finally come to peace with himself. Feeling another odd little urge, he pulls the journal to him and scratches in a message. It's not sensitive material, or persaonl taunting this time, there's no need to filter it.]

[it's relatively early, by Ghostbuster terms, but Ray is up and at 'em. the containment unit's done, but as far as this former Boy Scout is concerned, there's still plenty more preparation he can make for whatever's to come with Riful and Arthas and Legato, so he's going to head down to the basement.

before he does, though, he realizes that he can get more work done with two pairs of hands - even if one of them will be a little reluctant. so he heads up to Venkman's room and bangs on the door]


Hey, Pete! C'mon, get up! We're gonna work on the spare equipment, I could use an extra pair of hands and eyes... I'll even make you breakfast.

[a pause. there's no muffled groan, no whine of protest, no bleary-eyed Peter opening the door a fraction only to mutter "No" and slam it in his face]

Pete?

[he raises his voice] WAFFLES, PETE.

[nothing. fine, this calls for drastic measures. he opens the door, and ---]

... Oh. Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...! Dammit.

[he slumps against the doorframe and slides slowly down to sit on the hall floor, pulling the door closed as he glances at the journal hanging from his hip next to the PKE meter. forlornly:]

Pete Venkman's gone, you guys.

[He's been working on it for quite a while in secret, but today Jono wanted to bring the results of his secret project to his friend Nina, the dancer who he'd shared a few private moments with. Unfortunately, when he reaches her door, he finds the nameplate missing. Opening the door, he doesn't find what he'd been hoping for, the stark white sterility of Nina's room. There's an angry door slam as Jono stalks away, heading for the music room. He opens his journal, his voice thick with anger and concealed grief.]

Fer those who knew her, Nina Sayers's gone home. Maybe now she can finally finish Swan Lake.

[A little while later, those who venture into the music room will find Jono with several clones, one of whom looks suspiciously like Nina. He's playing a song, while the Nina clone dances to the ballet he'd composed for her, that the real Nina never got to see.]

[though he's been too wrapped up in his own 'problems' to really follow whatever has been brewing in much of the rest of the castle, he can't dodge the tension. The air feels tangibly charged, people seem to be getting ready for something, and it's very contagious.

With him wanting to test out his newly-healed shoulder, and this whole place feeling like it's itching for a fight... it seems like an obvious combination

Anyone who wants to blow off steam-- I'll be out on the castle grounds. [and then a pause, as the voice of a certain piratess comes to mind. He better clarify--] ...For sparring.

Trapped in the tower. This the sort of thing the castle does often?

--more importantly, why hadn't anyone told me Microsoft released a new Xbox? Seriously - you guys can't hold out on me like that.

[And - yup, that's the sound of some basketball game for the 360 wafting through the journals. For any of Angel's crew in the Tower? Gunn will be in the Media Room, hunched a little possessively over his Xbox 360 controller.]

[Filtered away from Riful and her crew and everyone that would help them... and anyone who would even think about helping them... and anyone who would even think about thinking about helping them... .]

Right! I don't think I need to tell you all what's been going on. Unless you've been turned into a rock and have been unable to follow recent events we all know about Riful and her little... gang... We've all been in agreement that we have to do something, that's clear. However, the time has come to actually begin planning what, precisely, we're going to do about this.

They have progressively stepped up their aggression. Riful experimenting on townspeople, Arthur's death, the attack on the Peace Patrol. They're bringing it closer to the castle and it won't be long before they're at the doors and we're out of time.

SO! I'll star it off, shall I? What have they got? Hmm? Riful's got her silly little healing power, but throw a bit of fire in there and it's downright useless. Legato? He's got his telepathy, has horrible taste in food and is extremely rude. Arthas? Well, I can't say I know much about him but he has got a sword that's apparently rather important.

Now. What have we got? We've got knowledge. The knowledge of what they are and what they can do. With that knowledge, and a bit of luck, we can plan around what they have and make it work to our advantage. What else have we got? Numbers. There's the three of them, perhaps a few others and however many townspeople Legato decides to bring along. We've got an entire castle. Granted, not everyone can fight but we've still certainly got them beat. What else have we got? A plan. Well... not yet, but we will have a plan. I must say, I'm still getting used to the whole planning thing, but it's certainly going to come in handy in this case.

I would like to see everyone make it out of this alive. Yes, even Riful. She may be an incredible danger to all of us, but that doesn't mean we need to execute her. There's a reason why people have been building in the Dead Zone, after all. If we can get her out there she will no longer be a danger to anyone. We need to build on what we know about each of them and plan the best way for us to subdue them. I'm not usually one to present a call to arms, but even I can recognize that no one can take down each of these individuals by themselves. We will need to work together. We've done it before and everyone was brilliant. We just need to use what we know about each of them, find their weaknesses and use them to subdue them so we can get them to the Dead Zone.

So! Let's hear it. Ideas, thoughts, plans, recipes, anything you've got. Now's not the time to hesitate. We don't know what they may try next and we need to be ready.

[he'd been feeling wired and paranoid-- that much was irritating but somewhat expected. Surrounded by too many shifting variables, too much riding on vast gambles, working in a setting that he had much less control over than he would prefer.

But, today, it is markedly worse. Bewilderingly worse.

He knows that it isn't him. It
can't be. It is that thing in his head that he can't get out, but that fact doesn't make it any easier to sort through. Emotions rock his usual stoic walls, memories of people he doesn't know pick at him when he's not paying attention. So, he goes looking for his journal. It takes him a while to find it, wandering around the manor--without his coat, as if it's too hot to wear--distractedly searching]

[Filtered specifically to those who wish to fight against Arthas Menethil;]

Greetings, each and every one of you.

If you are reading this, then I should hope that you are both mentally and physically prepared for the battle that is soon to come-- the battle against Arthas Menethil, the man who will become the Lich King and become he who curses my world into despair.

But I shall not digress for now, nor shall I make this into yet another tale of my plight. For now, there are far more important priorities, that of bringing down the monster that plagues both we as residents and those who remain innocent outside of the castle. It is I you will answer to in this battle. If not myself, then my equal, he who is known as Koltira Deathweaver. By now, you should be familiarized by what we know about Arthas. If not... well then, I suggest you learn quickly.

TEAM ICC: REPORT! Pretty much, this is discussing battle tactics and strategies for taking down Arthas later in the week.

Um, I think that's all that needs to be said as far as ooc notes are concerned. If anything, this is just checking in to see who is doing what, IC organization and all that. If there are any questions both IC and OOC, please ask!

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.
