Questions:

To everyone:

1.) Have there been previous, Cair-wide or city-wide celebrations organized before the one which everyone recieved notification for via paper invitation concerning "Valentine's Day"?

2.) Did anyone mastermind these prior events, if they exist?

...you're brilliant.

[right-lane.livejournal.com]

Now it remains to be seen if anyone has a response.

[morethansteel.livejournal.com]

...true.

[right-lane.livejournal.com]

I've noticed a disturbing tendency for people to be more responsive on subjects better suited for Cat's column.

[morethansteel.livejournal.com]

...yeah, they do tend to want to gossip more than investigate, it seems...

Not all of us can be hard-hitting reporters...

Of course not. I wouldn't be able to sleep with that much competition. I mean, still, doesn't that just say something about society? Or even several societies, even the non-human ones. Do just this, say just that, and everyone will love you for your infamy?

[morethansteel.livejournal.com]

Yeah...this place just seems to control us with distractions...and ... a loss of hope...

[right-lane.livejournal.com]

You can't lose hope. [[ A long pause. ]] It's far too persistent to lose.

Shampoo no recall such things~ Is possible. No see person behind anything which make persons ask many questions in Paradisa...

[right-lane.livejournal.com]

Thank you for your help.

1.) Not that I know of. Then again, I've only been here for a month.

2.) If there were any events, I doubt it.

[right-lane.livejournal.com]

1.) Any idea what the longest time anyone has been here is?

2.) I do as well, but it's worth seeing if someone was figureheaded or not.

[soldyoursoul.livejournal.com]

I'd say no longer than three months. Clark might be the one to ask for that one.

[right-lane.livejournal.com]

Just corroborating responses now.

Three months isn't all that long. Has there been any evidence of this occurring before?

[soldyoursoul.livejournal.com]

Some people here claim that they've been to other worlds before--if that is what we're really dealing with--but I've never seen this before.

[right-lane.livejournal.com]

World-travel? I don't suppose any of them traveled through space getting there.

In the case of an immersive VR or anything of that sort, there has to be some hole in the structure. Hmm.

[soldyoursoul.livejournal.com]

It's a possibility.

The funny thing is that this place, or whoever brought us here, hasn't done anything but lure us into a sense of security... though whether it's false is yet to be seen.

The only reason for any alarm is because of the people here. They're the ones fighting and breaking down walls.

However, this could all be some reality show.

[right-lane.livejournal.com]

I hate reality shows. They are nothing close to reality; just good editing jobs of bad footage.

It's come up that the only course of what you could term "ill will" comes from people introduced to Paradisa, and not from those people native to Paradisa.

Anything this perfect is flawed; even if our first clues come from what the city folk aren't saying, and what I've heard about people losing things they never seem to get back. Of course, if people have only been here three months, there's no way to say for certain there are any "never"s but instead "not just yets."

[bookmansjunior.livejournal.com]

Not as far as I know, nobody did anything like that last time round.

[right-lane.livejournal.com]

Hmm. What was this prior event?

[bookmansjunior.livejournal.com]

Not Valentine's Day, so who knows, maybe this place just does something big for that, but we got no other years to go on, unless someone's been here for that long. Some of the people around here got something organized for Christmas, though.

[right-lane.livejournal.com]

Interesting difference.

[bookmansjunior.livejournal.com]

Yeah, no mysterious letters. But considering a lot of things appear out of nowhere around here, those probably aren't all that weird, just why they're appearing now, right?

[right-lane.livejournal.com]

You say nothing was done around Christmas, and I couldn't name a more commercialized holiday if I tried. Maybe the mind orchestrating all of this is learning from what we do as much as we are from "it." People celebrated one holiday; another holiday is mentioned, and doubtlessly in thousands of novels in the library, and suddenly we've got invitations to the same holiday waiting for us in our rooms.

[bookmansjunior.livejournal.com]

You got a point. Why all of a sudden now instead of Christmas, yeah? Plus, some secret generous guy wouldn't get a whole lot out of it himself, so I guess we still got the question of what kinda 'mind' has a motive behind something like that.
