[Sleeping, Harley sighs and burrows further into her mountain of toys. She's comfortable. The toys are warm and feel a bit more resistant than usual and a bit more unified too...

She cracks one eye open and sees that, instead of toys, she's curled up next to someone else. Shrugging, she snuggles further.

Wait.
]

AHHHH!

[Harley shrieks and rolls off the bed and to the floor and on top of a journal. For the sake of having something at least to use as a make-shift weapon, she grabs it.]

RED! KITTY! SOMEONE BROKE IN AND WANTS TO ABDUCT ME AND TAKE ME AWAY! RED!

[They don't answer. She's not in her room. Or in the shelter from the looks of it. Which is probably why neither Red or Kitty have come in bearing vengeance and pain and whips. But there's something else that freaks her out even more. Something that makes her hold the journal over her head like a bat from hell and scream at it and everything else in the vicinity.]

WHERE'S MY MALLET, CREEP?!

[ooc: To whomever is brave enough, feel free to be the one she woke up next to and risk a smack of doom. Everyone else tell her in person or via journal to shut up.]

[the journal flips open the the loud sound of a car driving waaayyyyy over the speed limit. screeching tires, shouting and the possible faint crashing noise in the distance. harley is out and about subjecting LA to her god-awful (or super amazing?!) driving .... in a stolen pink convertible. she picks up the journal and dictates into it ... loudly and obnoxiously]

Reeeeeeeed~! Tell me where you're at so I can come get ya! I got a real nice ride!

TIME FOR CHAOS )

[ooc: MINUTE TO SET UP THREADS OKAY GO

reply here with fleeing outside the comedy club. THERE WILL BE "PEOPLE" (player characters) firing toxin into the crowd as people leave; those who are getting FATALLY or NON-FATALLY gassed can start posting as much in the appropriate thread below. ENJOY.

P.S - you can just reply to the post if you're fleeing for your life or otherwise outside of the club!]

THE JOKER APPEARS; THE FUN BEGINS )

[ooc: GIVE ME A MOMENT TO SET UP SUB-THREADS okay! you can respond to the sub-threads or the post with appropriate reactions as you want.

there is one more post after this one in which chaos will erupt in the club and characters will be ushered outside: THAT IS WHERE THE FATALITIES/GAS VICTIMS will take place. respond here to give up your cowl, your identity, or rat on your friends. the Joker will still be on stage; you're free to talk to him, but you can't approach the stage or else his goonies will threaten you with gunfire and hurting innocent children/and or waitresses.]

[if one were to enter the kitchen this fine afternoon, they might find this lady without the costume and mask. instead, she's in a t-shirt and short shorts, hair pulled up in pigtails, happily humming christmas tunes to herself.

she's also making a buttload of cookies. they're batgirl shaped, but there's a few stars and christmas trees in there too. feel free to bother her/steal some cookies~]

[At exactly 8:03, the ghosts will knock at each resident's door. Even if they don't answer, they'll enter - wheeling in a medium-sized tv on a cart, and leaving it in the room before departing. The TV will receive static for 2 minutes, and repair any damage done to it, until 8:05.

Then, a broadcast will start.

It begins simply enough - some cheesy game show music; the sound of an audience clapping; a panning view of a typical game show stage. There are three doors, and the wall is scrolled with the words: THE DATING GAME! in red-and-green font. When the music dies down, a distinctively cheery and self-appreciating voice can be heard...
]HAHAhahaHAAA )

[OOC: the broadcast will continue in-thread to this post! right now it's only open to the broadcast group: Joker, Harley, Clark, Donna, Claire, and Lana, but will be opening up later on depending on how things play out and how a resolution is reached. All hostage saving shenanigans belong in the hostage post! If you feel your characters are getting close, PLEASE PING ME @ haybutler on aim or comment to the last ooc post regarding this plot. :)]

ETA: It hasn't been announced as of this moment in REAL TIME that there are hostages - but it will be. YOU CAN GO AHEAD AND IMPLY HE REVEALED THIS FACT to get the ball rolling outside this post and start figuring out ways to rescue them! Remember to ping me if you think they're getting close!

ETA2: When Joker gives details about the hostages, he'd show a 4 panel shot - one from each camera and explain a little about the bombs - aka, don't move them too much, don't shake them, you can't take them past the door, and if you trigger one bomb, you trigger them all - plus he has some more scattered around the city for you to have fun trying to find and deactivate (they're all duds).

[The hostages have all be bound at the wrists, ankles, and waist by chains, forced upright on poles securely cemented into the ground at their feet. When they awaken, they're all in similar situations - the room is dimly lit by a single light bulb hanging from the ceiling. Their partner is about two feet in front of them; they're positioned to face one another so they can clearly see their own precarious situation mirrored in their fellow hostages. Your gut reaction may be to start wiggling and seeing if you can get your way out of your bonds - but I wouldn't do that if I were you! You might notice the person opposite you is wearing a strange... belt, the buckle of which is a metal square with a panel on it in the shape of the Joker's face. And in place of eye sockets is a count down.

Countdown towards what?

Well, until you explode, of course!

These bombs are triggered by extremely sensitive sensors. Any effort to remove them will result in an explosion; if the bomb passes the threshold without managing to go off, it'll explode then, as well. Well, kids, it looks like you might be there a while.

Look up into the cameras positioned at each corner of the ceiling, babies, and SMILE!

Maya and Ty Lee are in the basement of a coffee shop on Main Street.
Sweets and Cagalli are in a dressing room at the theater in the Art District.
Ash and Joan are in a warehouse storeroom in the Industrial District.
Rock and Gwen are in an empty office in the Business District.

[ooc: Give me a second to set up threads before you jump in! DONE! If you're involved, feel free to hop in the Paradisa chat - it will make communication easier. These should be open to JUST the hostages for the first little while, but go ahead and threadjack once your characters get close to where they're located, and PLEASE PING ME @ haybutler on aim or comment to the last ooc post regarding the plot, I'll get the notif. :) Also please add your character's tags as you tag in, I'm multi-tasking like a mofo sob lmao]

ETA: Added a thread for IN TOWN. Go find those hostages or stir up trouble!
[identity profile] jokerish.livejournal.com
[late last night, a certain Harley Quinn may have sneaked into the bedrooms of Maya, Ty Lee, Rock, Joan, Sweets, Cagalli, Ash, and Gwen - a good ol' combo of sedatives and a good bonk on the head or two assured they wouldn't be awake as she dragged them out of the Castle.

today, they're missing.

has anyone noticed, Paradisa?

[ooc: feel free to use this as a reaction post! hostages, you'll be KO'd until the post goes up later. ALSO I APOLOGIZE FOR WHAT WILL, INEVITABLY, BE COMM SPAM AS THIS GOES ON THROUGH THE DAY. should be no more than 3 posts including this, sob]

[the sound of footsteps is clearly audible as the Joker makes his way down the hallway - a steady gait. there's a far-off scream getting closer...]

It's ALIVE! What if it eats me?! AAAaaaAAA~HH!

[he stops, suddenly:]

...Harley? What the blazes--

[that screaming is getting VERY close, before there's a noise like a collision and a small, girly squeak.]

Mistah Jay?!

[his tone abrasive and sharp] Harley, you ninny! Don't you watch where you're going?!

B-but there's this book, 'n it's alive!

What are you on about now?

No, really! It'll just start recordin' your thoughts, and writin' down what you say, and you'll get all cozy and then WHAM! CHOMPERS!

... [a long pause, then, more softly...]

Harls?

...yeah, puddin'?

Let's try that game we talked about, hm? The one where you SHUT THE HELL UP FOR A WHILE and LET DADDY THINK!!

[ooc: bold is Harley, rest is Joker. they're out wandering the halls, feel free to run into them or leave them messages on the journals 8D!]

[and Harley's dictating into the journal]

Once you get the hang of it, I guess this place ain't so bad. Has better food than Arkham that's for sure!

Oh yeah, and the town's real cute too. Like something out of a painting!

And there's no B-man. I'm sure Mr. J would love it here. It could be like an all expense paid vacation!

I can't wait till he shows up!

[inserts sounds of Harley waking up here and there is a recorded thump as she falls out of bed and the following is picked up by journal]

Ow! I could have sworn the bed was by the wall last night. Huh?

What the heck's going on here? This ain't the dump.

Oh my god oh my god oh my god. What's going to happen to my babies! Where's Red?

[a pause and then]

HEY! HELP! SOMEBODY GET ME OUT OF HEEEEEERE!

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.
