[dictated frantically]

No! I don't want to know the seventh--

[whut. there's a pause. where did her dorm go?]

A medieval castle?

Is there a play going on that I wasn't told about? Ah! Or maybe this is another part of the grounds I haven't explored yet! After being here a few months, I was sure I'd seen everything. It looks so authentic! But how did I go from being in the dorm to ending up in a place like this?

Kiri-san? Yuzuru-san? Sachi-san? Ryuuken-sama?

.. Mari--

[there's a yelp as she realizes her schoolbag came with her, along with the creepy monster residing inside of it. ;; dear mother up in heaven, why you do this?]

Eh?! I-it even followed me here..

The grounds? Grounds of what?

Well, whatever it is, you're not there any more. You're stuck here now.

[darkevangel.livejournal.com]

...Usually things don't follow you here though.

[fffff there is a disembodied voice in her room, Mariya has cursed her! Stupid tranny!]

[gratify.livejournal.com]

[but it didn't seem to know..]

Ame no Kisaki.

[gratify.livejournal.com]

Here, right! .. Where might here be, oh great disembodied voice?

[maybe if she's nice, it won't smite her for knowing all seven mysteries now]

Cair Paradisa, a magic castle in a world you've never been to before.

[darkevangel.livejournal.com]

And I'm not just a disembodied voice. I'm the great Evangeline McDowell, the Apostle of Destruction, and the world's most powerful vampire and evil mage!

Do people who learn all seven mysteries always come here?

I really need to get back!

Apostle of-

[she really was going to die, wasn't she? But, somehow, this person sounded really.. cute]

[gratify.livejournal.com]

Cosplay.. ?

[brokenmage.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry miss, but you're not where you were before. This is Paradisa, a [pauses, because hey, this the girl probably won't like what he's about to say, but...] different world from your own. Welcome, I suppose would be the right word to say.

[gratify.livejournal.com]

[It's a man, bb!]

Hive--!

[.. wait. that's not Mariya's voice, it was too polite]

Paradisa? Like Paradise?

[brokenmage.livejournal.com]

[A suprised chuckle]

I don't think I would call it paradise, exactly.

[gratify.livejournal.com]

People stay here for years!

[Knowledge, she's got it]

[andcockleshells.livejournal.com]

I'm afraid it's no play.

... what followed you?

[gratify.livejournal.com]

I'd rather not say..

[andcockleshells.livejournal.com]

Oh, alright. I won't pry then.

[gratify.livejournal.com]

[d-don't run away cute and concerned girl!]

Ah, it's fine!

Thank you for your concern!

[andcockleshells.livejournal.com]

No problem.

... is it serious?

[daemonkoenig.livejournal.com]

Eh?

It's not a play, but...I guess it's sort of like a dorm. Paradisa kind of took you here, and you can't really...go home.

Welcome anyway..?

[why is there so much macho in her paradise? SOB]

[gratify.livejournal.com]

Are you also the world's most powerful evil vampire and mage?

Female, male, female, male..

[she spots you, journal! and.. she'll just stare]

[daemonkoenig.livejournal.com]

...No? Where would you get an idea like that?

I'm just a regular high school student. [Well, sorta. A pause]

...Did nobody explain anything to you yet?

[gratify.livejournal.com]

There is a cute, disembodied-- a VERY terrifying evil vampire and mage somewhere around here who is cospla-- Who definitely isn't cosplaying!

[a pause, something she can relate to! .. wait]

.. The book is talking to me.
