[One can really start to get used to this whole nocturnal is that there are at least a few less people outside when you want to take your midnight strolls. The bad thing is when you want to take photos the lighting is kind of crap in most places.

Which is why Conrad is outside fussing over an old SLR film camera by a bench, trying to find things to prop it up on so the pictures don't come out blurry from the shake.]

Has anyone seen a tall man in a long coat and tie around? He looks sort of... [undead] ... sickly. It's been awhile since he's shown his face.

There are certain things about this place I'm not going to be sad to forget about when I go home, but it's sort of a pain that you can't bring back anything you made while here. Considering how much time I have on my hands when things aren't going to hell I end up having an overabundance of art. I wonder what happens to all of this when I leave.

It better not just disappear. After all the time I spent on it...

[Have you ever tried sketching by moonlight? Conrad sure has. In fact he's got a big sketchbook with him right now as he stands by the stables drawing the horses and... strange creatures who happen to live among the horses.

Also, he is not being trampled to death or anything, so he is not failing right now.

His journal is laying open nearby, so people can still hear him bitch about things]


Where do these things even come from?

You know, I'm kind of glad this place takes after earth for the most part. I don't think I could deal with any more weird things thrown in my face than already are.

[Conrad is doodling one of the couches in the lobby in the top right of a journal page. It's a pretty good drawing too! Just assume you can picture it, because it's totally there.

Everything he has to say is dictated though.]


I miss having to work to pay my rent and pay for my food.

[Even if he shouldn't have to pay for food anymore...]

I don't care if we get everything for free here. I actually enjoyed what I did for a living, so it wasn't as though it was a pain to put hard work into things and actually earn my own way.

[With all this madness going on in the castle, and people getting stolen, and some business about a heart, Conrad's glad he stays out of these kind of messes.

It's just not worth his time.

As it is he's down in the kitchen brewing a pot of coffee. Next to him is a little styrofoam ice chest with the lid on. Of course if someone were to open it they'd see a bag of blood, but that's not really important at the moment. That'll come later when he sees if he can mix it with the coffee to make something actually palatable for himself. I mean, hey... it's worked with fresh blood.

So feel free to bug him, steal his chest, steal some coffee, or just come into the kitchen and stare moodily around yourself while secretly feeling a deep sense of anguish Conrad won't really be able to understand (but he'll certainly be willing to back away from you slowly and make funny faces at you for expressing.)]

[It's a beautiful day outside, the sun is shining and warming things up just a bit, which is good considering the thick layer of pristine snow on the ground. People bustle around, but one large group of ten plus people stand around chatting with each other, Conrad standing in the thick of them.

Wait... Conrad is outside in broad daylight? But isn't he a vampire?

WAIT! Conrad with a whole bunch of
friends?! Clearly this must be another Christmas dream scene.]
[identity profile] notafruitbat.livejournal.com
[He's standing in a hallway... some hallway... any hallway, really! And he's looking out the window and the snow with a slightly look of irritation. Then again, when doesn't Conrad look at something with at least a little irritation? Either way, he's significantly less surly looking than normal]

At least I don't have to worry about going out in it to pick up groceries anymore...

[There's a light ruffle of wings being recorded on the journal, as a lobby turkey begins to follow Conrad]

What... what are you... Go away!!

[a little pause]

I said get lost! Stop following me!

[And here Conrad tries to push the turkey away with his foot carefully. Apparently this doesn't go over well, because there is a loud rush of gobbles and frantic wing flapping.]

GAH--! [A moment of running recorded in loud thuds before the kitchen door is slammed shut in the turkey's face]

Why. Every. Time?!

HEY! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!

Jiggly!

[the sound of a vent being kicked open as a small, pink, psychotic creature runs away with...]

MY WALLET! THAT THING JUST STOLE MY WALLET!

[And in case you're wondering, Conrad is in the lobby right now, looking around desperate to anyone to reassure him that really did just happen and he's not going crazy.]
[identity profile] notafruitbat.livejournal.com
[So much for hiding himself away for the entire week. Here castle, have a Conrad trying to hold a bag of blood under his coat. He looks pretty sketchy, constantly glancing around and obviously attempting to hide something as he skitters off back in the general direction of his room.]

[recorded]

Time to lock myself in my room for the next week or so.

[Pause for realizing he was JUST looking through the journal, so OF COURSE it's still open and recording him.]

Ugh.

[ FRIDAY MORNING. sleep well, soldiers? or were you guys up all night getting teams/forts set and ready? YEAH, WELL. THAT'S NOT ENOUGH. YOU AIM TO BE THE BEST, BEST, BEST.. How will you do it? Set traps, ambush others, bomb forts and take what remains for yours?? EVERYONE is in the way towards your path of becoming the NUMBER ONE top dog. Go stir crazy, or just plain crazy in general. ]

[ oh, and there's a new note on the door ]
"FINISH THEM."
TEST YOUR MIGHT.



[ okay, seriously now. the ballroom looks like an absolute mess. there are all sorts of forts set up in different sections of the room, the shelves are nearly bare and some aisles are completely trashed. also random fog machines are up and stuck in between the most random places to SET THE MOOD. YA'LL ARE IN THE ZONE, AFTER ALL. CAUSE THIS IS HOW WE DO IT. ]



[ ooc: sorry this had to be super early ;; I am being called out for the afternoon /sob will be back in a few! ]
[identity profile] compete.livejournal.com
[ Did you guys sleep all right? It's the A.M. and ya'll are ready to get up and ditch the ballroom and start your day! ... But it's been hours since the doors have closed on their own and they still won't budge. The heck? ]

[ That's not all. If you take a good look around, it seems like the castle's turned the whole ballroom into a furniture warehouse overnight. Random couches, tables, chairs.. Oh, and all sorts of toy weapons. The heck? ]


[ .. But first thing's first... there's a small note taped onto the door which reads: ]


Pillow & Sheet Fort Warz.
IT'S KILL OR BE KILLED! GO FORTH AND CONQUER!!!



[ ooc: OKAY GUYS. TIME TO START ROCKING AND ROLLING? residents still have their journals, they can find them buried under their blankets if they originally... weren't poofed with it! and any muns who signed up after the first post.. can still throw in their characters! you can say they were poofed in late or walked in before the doors closed! srsly, it's allll goood!

Also a few residents should be feeling wonky vibes as the day goes on. feel free to start making ridiculous names and getting into WAR MODE. ]

[Having decided that the pep rally was overall generally loud and annoying, Conrad finally grew a pair and left halfway through, realizing he doesn't really give a shit about getting in trouble with the staff for not participating in a school sponsored event, because... really? What's the worst they can actually do to him?

As it is, he's still Conrad, which means deep down he's still a huge pussy. So he's sort of hanging out in the hallway near the gym. Sort of wavering on going back to his room, and going back inside while... still listening to all the events happening in there.

At least the loudness is muffled :(]

[Earlier in the day than this is actually being posted (around duskish), Conrad is sitting outside, sketching flowers. Because he's a man, and that's what men do.]

[all at once, there's a thud, an animal's screech, the frantic sound of beating leather wings, and one familiar little boy shouting:]

DOES THIS LOOK LIKE A CAVE TO YOU? GET OUT!

[and then more of the former, and then the sound of things getting knocked over. Ah, chaos.]

This place doesn't have any magazines does it? I'd just waste time on the computer instead, but...

[And Conrad scribbles this message out while he slowly walks across the lobby. Tonight sure seemed like a good night for a walk before he found out there were people here that might want to kill him for... being him. :(

He's not looking where he's going at all, feel free to talk to him, or mess with him, or tell him to stop looking at his damn journal and pay attention to where he's going.]

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.
