I don't understand this 'TV' instrument. Do you all just watch it all day? People have described movies as "books with moving pictures" but they hardly look interesting.

[ a beat. ]

I suppose back in your worlds there was a much larger collection to see. All I've seen in the library and theater room have teenagers on the cover of practically everything.

[ in which gil will never understand modern society's fascination with murdering sexually active teens in the movies. ]

[Now to say Crowley had forgotten his agreed meeting with Lana wouldn't be quite right. No, it had just slipped his mind. What with finding out Faye had almost died without him knowing it, and the alcoholism that came along with such a realisation, it was an easy thing to do.

Not that that fact would probably make Lana any more amused about the situation. It's a good thing he never locks his door, because he's currently passed out face-down on one of the sofas of the living room, an empty bottle of wine on the floor beside him.

This is clearly a terrible time to neglect to remember you have visitors]

Has anyone seen Lana? She wasn't at her apartment and isn't responding to any of my filters. I don't know if she's gone back to the castle's library...

[ a beat ]

[ out in the forest, somewhere not to deep into it gil is having his own private target practice, several trees marked with X's and he taking aim for one. he cocks his gun to the side and narrows his only good eye, realizing he's making a beginner's mistake right there. being blind in one eye? has left him uncomfortable and vulnerable. while his shot had gotten considerably better since he first arrived, it still needed work.

vincent was always a better shot. :( ]

[ like always, the journal in the clinic beside gil's bedside falls conveniently open and it picks up a noise-- like that of a chain being rattled-- and it's getting louder and louder until without warning, there's a gust of wind that begins to knock everything in the clinic off its shelves and desks.

glass and wood continues to break and then there's an even louder and almost freakish sound of a bird shrieking and amidst all the noise, gil's voice-- yelling something-- but the noise is drowning him out. ]



[ ooc: canon bumped! and the breaking of tons of things in the clinic has been mod approved. there is a giant raven in the clinic right now, oh my. ]

For people who've been in and out of Paradisa multiple times, have you noticed if anything's different from your previous stay? A different loss or maybe the last moments you remember from home...

[ the writing stops for a moment and then he adds in: ] I'm just wondering.

[ you know who's not having a lovely halloween? gil. why? he decided to check up on his dear sister and figure out why she's been avoiding him lately, only to discover an empty room and a missing nameplate.

they were just beginning to get along, too. slowly but it was still something. it meant something to gil, who'd been looked down upon by her for so long. paradisa seems bent on making sure he doesn't reconcile with his adoptive family.

it takes him a moment, then he slowly writes into his journal. ]

Vanessa Nightray has gone home.

[ to something possibly horrible? who knows. ]

[ after spending a couple of hours in which he fixed up someone's poor, mangled doll plushed toy dinosaur and then attempted to play the waiting game to find out who the mysterious anon was, gil is now in the kitchen making himself dinner. his journal lies open next to him. ]

Do people often make strange, anonymous requests here? Surprisingly... as suspicious as it was, nothing happened. [ a sigh. he attempted to deduce anon's identity by hiding and waiting but that didn't work.

what a weirdo. ]


[ ooc: open or through the journal. whichever you fancy. ♥ ]

[ filtered away from erika furudo, any of her witchy allies and anyone else who would help them/pass out this information or is generally villainous. KEEP OUT. ]

Last night when Lana and I were in the town, a strange girl named Erika Furudo appeared before us, claiming to be a witch. There was as another girl who looked as if she could be her twin. The way she talked about the murders that had occurred, it's as if she knew something we didn't. She also claimed that the rest of us here were "pieces on a game board".

She might have just been talking big, declaring herself a detective and that she would discover the truth behind Paradisa but that we didn't have the "aptitude" to do so.

I don't know what they want or who they even are, for starters. If anyone has any information, I'd like to know. I didn't trust them at all... and I don't believe anyone else should.

[ if anything, gil isn't the type to sleep long. restless as he's been so far in paradisa, he eventually found himself walking out from the castle entrance, making a turn in the direction of the forest. he lights up a cigarette and takes his time, looking somewhat pensive and for once, not aggravated tonight. ]

[ sitting in the courtyard on a bench is a gil enjoying his adulthood. he can smoke again without some annoying teacher confiscating his cigarettes. JOY.

he's mostly pouring over his journal again and scribbling down the names "kyle rayner" and "donna" with question marks to the side. for once, he doesn't look cranky, just curious. ]

[ mumbled to himself more than anything ]

That entire building just disappeared? What the hell was that all about?

[ after a couple of minutes, gil sits himself down outside in the courtyard. it's kind of chilly but he really prefers this kind of weather. the heat just irritates him. he writes into the journal: ]

There have been a few expeditions in the past year in Paradisa, correct? How far did everyone travel and what exactly was discovered out there? You've only gone as far as the Dead Zone, I believe, unless I'm mistaken. Even if it's just references to older journal pages, I don't mind being pointed to them for reading.

[ the problem we're about to have here is that gil doesn't remember going to sleep, even as he lays with his eyes closed on a bed. his first thought is get up but he's feeling exhausted for once. he's been thinking too much lately... maybe for a few minutes, he can try to relax...

but that's when he rolls over and his face falls into something soft.

what.

his eyelids snap open and he sees the form of a woman in the bed with him. wait, something's wrong here. besides being in bed with some unknown woman and having his face shoved into her-- OH...

freak out time. ]

Where--

[ what is this, who dares interrupt her beauty sleep her eyes snap open, seconds away from setting whoever thought it was a good idea to sneak into her room and into her BED on fire until she realizes who it is ]

Gilbert? [ really she would be more surprised if this is the first it happened, but for her it is the second time so the shock factor is a little less than before-- wait...is he...

she makes a noise akin to a high pitched squeak and quickly attempts to move away, dragging blanket with her. THIS IS NOT WHAT SHE WAS SUPPOSED TO WAKE UP TO ]

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.
