[Room 2101 has a doorplate reading "Miss Reno Browne". The door was left unlocked, and there's a letter left on the desk.

[Reno's House]

[They got in late that night. As was the deal, Reno's allowed to stay at her own place, but she's got a guard of a few people. Seeing as it was pretty late, she just told them to make themselves comfortable, and disappeared into her room for the rest of the night. The place is pretty –– it's a very quaint two-story house painted sunshine yellow, on a ranch with a white fence. It seems obvious that Whip lived here, too, and snooping around wouldn't reveal much –– just that the couple lived here, and lived a rather comfortable life.

So morning comes and Reno comes back downstairs, looking exhausted but generally well enough to face the day. She's just that kind of woman. She turns to the guard, who may or may not be up already.]

Up and at 'em, boys. Let's fix a spot of breakfast, shall we?

[ooc: If your character was on the trip and was designated by Shikamaru to stay with Reno as a guard, come play with me <3 AFAIK, who that was, exactly, was never planned, which is why anyone who feels like their character might have been picked is free to jump in. Keep the number under six people, ha ha.

I have to run to work at 11:30 est, but while I'm gone feel free to have them talk between themselves.]

8:23PM: - Whip Wilson has been killed. Miss Reno Browne is being taken into custody.

[ooc: ANYONE ON THE MISSION WILL ARRIVE BACK IN TOWN AROUND 1AM. Injured might be a bit ahead of the in custody Reno, but it's all gonna put all of them back in Winchester at 1AM at the latest]

[crouched low to the ground] Told ya' talkin' to them wasn't gonna do us any good. Aww.... and they got our horses?

[under her breath] Should'a expected them to come after us. Damnit, Whip. We shouldn't have stopped.

[glances to her with a look... yes 'that' look] Well we needed to rest a bit, no harm in gettin' to see my girl once in a while durin' this mess. Sides you weren't too upset with the notion when I suggested it. Ain't my fault they're too nosy.

[she looks back at him, obviously vexed] That was before we were gettin' tailed clear across the county.

[huffs quietly] Well we can wait til they all fall asleep. Mean, it usually works for us in these tight spots.

'Course it does. But these people... lord knows what they can do. Now hush.

[nudges her with his elbow] I am hushin' and I still think we should just wait til their distracted and make a run for it back toward the outskirts, head up to Billings.

Sounds like a plan.

So now we just wait, until we see our opening. [and sees some of them coming toward them] Or.... we shoot our way out of here.

[pulls out her handgun] No trouble, for the finest cowboys Kansas has to offer.

[grabs her and kisses her then pulls back with a smirk] Damn straight. [pulls his gun and inhales] Count of three.... 1.... 2....

[smiles and tips her hat down a bit lower] ... 3!

The Town of Hargrove Mill

[it took them two and a half hours of riding to get there. The scout group heading out a distance and then reporting back to meet up with the group of them. Even with such a large number of them they were making pretty decent time. There were hints along the trail, proof that they were indeed heading the right way. Then once they were over the ridge they saw the mills, and they saw the makings of a town.

It seemed abandoned for the most part, a tornado having hit it hard earlier in the year. The damage not repaired, and even if it had been something they were working on it seemed no one had been there in a few months. Except for the remains of a fire on the edge of the town... maybe Miss Reno and Whip were still somewhere in the towns buildings. One could only hope]

[okay -- skipping to the town, and you'll notice that they have MERGED into one. All the action for the town will be happening in here until Jenn and I decide to move it to the final post for the final event AND --

part 1 of the places to explore are open, remember talk about it, ask questions Jenn and I both have characters on the trip that can try to help see the right answers if they pop up here... I know it sounds difficult but we'd rather not guide your hand here since it's part of the mystery]

[dictated]

Good morning, I'm Bruce Wayne [you might know me from other such announcements as the Wallen Walker Benefit...] and I'm going to be helping Clark run this expedition since now isn't a time to actually squabble over who does what. We're all trying to figure out what's going on, what else there is to learn from Whip and Reno Browne, and how long we're going to be here.

These are important questions, and we've got an undetermined amount of distance ahead of us. We know they've headed off toward the one of the next towns. Where that is? We're not sure. We're guessing that there are more than these two towns here.

We're going to be heading off toward the west. Shikamaru was alert enough to see them heading that way last night after Reno had a discussion with them, and made us all aware of the startling name that was mentioned.

After we've all regrouped and had breakfast we'll pack up and head out. Small teams will ride ahead, just to make sure that we are prepared for whatever is out there. I'm not going to have us riding into an unfair situation.

I think we all want to head out as soon as possible, so I'm looking at 8am we'll be hitting the hills.

[Just to clarify, anyone going on the trip can read/hear what Bruce dictated, but if you are going to tag into this post make sure you are at the Spencer Ranch and part of one of the sections that are going up. This will be the main action post for the trip to get out to the other towns, once we are at the next "location" there will be a new action post set up for that, since Jenn will be home by then to join in on the fun!]

I know the fact that they know the dinosaur guy is weird, but... There's nothing to say that they aren't real, that the people on the dinosaur island weren't real either. They could just be like us. They might be just like us, and we're too arrogant to know it. What if the worlds we're from are really just like this one, and we're background fixtures in the lives of other people? What if we didn't notice until everyone around us disappeared...?

This is why the residents of City Royale and the people we meet during these world changes are just as important as you or me. There's so much we don't know and never will. To assume that people are just puppets of the castle is just like saying their lives aren't worth anything, that there aren't going to be any consequences if they die. It's not true! You can't use a label like "puppet" or "fake" or "copy" on a human being and just walk away without caring.

Because they're alive. They have thoughts, and they have emotions, and they have their own memories that we'll never know anything about.

And if that isn't what existing is, then none of us were ever really born.

Anyone coming up into Winchester to meet up at the Spencer Ranch, I've got plenty of room, and plenty of horses.

We're looking at probably heading out at first light, but packing and getting sure we're making the right plan of action seems to be getting done tonight.

I'll be out in the back forty trying to gather up the rest of my horses. Just come on in and have Danny or Angel help you find some space here.

[turning off notifies for this one for now, but just feel free to either tag into this and convene, and try to sort out a plan, or just imply you're headed here. The actual event of heading out will happen tomorrow morning after everyone is aware of what is going on, and has packed properly!]

I'm talking to Whip.

[added later still, scrawled fast, shorthand]

They're leaving town.

Anyone want to follow?

If you're in Fairfield, go to main street; we'll meet up and head over to Winchester. We'll meet at Eliot Spencer's farm. Head out from there.

Anyone remember a guy named John Hammond? Older, white hair, dangerous obsession with dinosaurs?

Just heard from our hosts that he's gone missing.

Winchester

[Winchester is filled with plenty to do on a Friday Night, from the Bullseye Saloon and Brothel to the Rodeo out at the Spencer Ranch. Plan on stayin' late this evening make sure to go and find yourself a room up at the Inn. Enjoy something sweet from the bakery, or just drop on into the General Store. Some shops might be closin' early to head to the rodeo, but make sure to take care to help support the town just a bit, if ya can't make it into the shops tonight, bet their owners'll be ready at mornin' light to take your orders as well]

[It's a lovely day, folks. Sunshine, blue skies, sweating buckets as usual, you know.

Winchester will be going up later, says Whip.]

How goes the cattle-brandin', gentlemen? I hope they're not givin' you too much trouble this year.

[The Creek -- the afternoon]

[It's the end of June and it's sweltering hot out; the kind that just saps your energy and makes you want to laze around with sticky skin in as little clothing as possible.

School's over, maybe some people have closed their businesses or left them in the care of others, or maybe you're just feeling adventurous and are skipping. So why not head down to the creek between the two towns for a little fun? It's big and cool, and someone's tied a rope to a tree to use as a swing into the water.

Don't forget your swimsuits, if you're well off enough to own one. If not, it's naked or in your underthings... which are, you know, usually white. Paradisa's first wet t-shirt contest? Well, that's fun.]

Good mornin', ladies and gents. This is Reno speakin'.

I hope y'all are gettin' through harvest time just fine this year. But in the order of business, I've heard news of nearby towns gettin' attacked by bandits over the past week. I'd appreciate it if all of you kept an eye out; as long as we're vigilant, it won't be a problem.

And Mr. York, Sheriff Sylar; that girl that went missin'. She turned up yet?

Well it's been a while since I heard much outta these pages. Must be my lucky day, cause I've been waitin' a while to get some of these fences back up.

Guess I reckon I should be welcomin' some of you folks to Winchester. These parts you'll get to know me as Whip. I take care a'land in these parts and if you're fixin' to make trouble, well I'll make sure to be just as much trouble for ya.

[filtered to Winchester Residents Only]

I'm makin' rounds 'bout now... so maybe I'll see ya' roamin in the dusty roads. Might even head up to the saloon and check in on my favorite girls. [whispered] Don't be tellin' Reno though.

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.
