[BACKDATED TO MID-OCTOBER]

[Time to get this show on the road!

Nepeta had given the date and time to everyone that had signed up, with another last minute filter to anyone 15 and under of where the meetup would take place, including a hand-drawn map.

The building itself is hard to distinguish from any other business in town aside from the wooden sign: A picture of a laser pack and gun, and even that looks rather fitting for their surroundings.

Inside is a whole other story.

The walls are dark and there's almost a dungeon-like feel, but bright lights are spreckled about the massive room as energetic music plays overhead. Behind a big, vault-like door is the battlefield; an endless maze of walls and ramps and black lights, perfect for hiding from the enemy or staking out prey.



They'll have to wait to be suited up before being unleashed, of course, and they must promise to abide by the Player's Code of Conduct. That part is optional, of course.



Now Nepeta is standing half outside of the building, keeping an eye out for anyone that signed up to play. She'll flag them down if she sees them, and let everyone mingle and meet before they start to play. Better to get to know the competition before it begins!]




(ooc: You don't have to have signed up to join in! If your kid is 15 or younger and they're not tagged in, feel free to tag them in and join the fun. :3 This entry is backdated to when everyone was loss-free and able to play. EXTREMELY BACKTAG FRIENDLY!)

The castle looks really nice right now, but um... what is it celebrating, exactly? I only really know about Halloween, but... um, isn't that not for another few days?

Um... b-but it's all really pretty, though I don't know if I could wear these clothes all the time...

[Speaking of 'these clothes', Homura can be found wearing something like this today, as she walks around the castle, admiring the decorations.]

[Well, like a majority of the castle residents, Homura has found herself... locked out. It didn't take long for her to figure out there was no way back in, and, to her credit, she didn't panic, but it was still alarming to find herself suddenly outside. Picking up her journal, she hesitates a bit before speaking up.]

... Did the castle lock everyone out? I-I'm guessing it did, but, um...

[Oh no... time to try to move onto a not as silly question.]

T-This is... only for a few days, right? I-I guess it's not that bad if so, but... does anyone know where I can stay... t-that's pet friendly?

[ It's Tuesday, meaning entering the Four Seasons room today takes you to the Castle's magical beach. There are already a few people sitting on the sand and doing their thing. Join in or decide to play in the water. Remember, you can't swim too far off now otherwise you hit a wall. Literally. ]



[ ooc: beach shenanigans. anyone can join. tag in at your leisure. :) ]

[In a place like Paradisa, where people came from all over, Homura realized the question she wanted to ask was probably a pretty silly one, but she was curious as to what other people felt.]

Do you think fate can be changed? Like... if you had the ability to do so, would you try for a better outcome?

... It's kind of a silly question, I guess... but I'm just curious.

[Homura knows she shouldn't use her magic when she has no idea as to what will happen to her Soul Gem while in this world, but surely using it in moderation will be alright, shouldn't it? ... She'd find an alternative to Grief Seeds if she had to, anyway.

In any case, anyone coming across Homura today will find her outside on the castle grounds, transformed and beating up a metal barrel she managed to come across with a golf club. This is... pretty hilarious to watch, probably, but she doesn't have the materials to make explosives and can't figure out how to go about asking people about it without having to explain why she needs them... not to mention Homura's pretty sure the castle wouldn't give her any even if she wanted.

If anyone's keen enough to notice, they might notice that she's stopping time, as well.]

[Homura had heard Madoka was here in Paradisa along with her, but aside from Sayaka, she hadn't met any of the other Puella Magi... and she didn't even know Sayaka, either. Evidently that was something Homura would have to work on figuring out later... maybe. But for all of Homura's searching... she hadn't found Madoka, or a nameplate belonging to her. There's a long hesitant pause at first, before she speaks up.]

S-Someone once said to me that a friend of mine was here, and...

[Um... wait no it was multiple someones wasn't it...? Who said what? ... Anyway.]

Um... well, someone said Kaname-san was here, I think, and... I think someone also said to look for a nameplate on a door, but...

... I haven't found a nameplate anywhere, so I was wondering...

Is Kaname-san... gone?

[It's a lovely Tuesday morning, isn't it? Phoebe slowly wakes up, stretching and yawning. She sits up, shoving a couple of pillows out of the way as she..... wait..... pillows? Where the hell did all these pillows come from? She looks around her room. Which is suddenly round... and red...]

Alright. When did I fall into the Arabian Nii-iiiioooohh no.

[Her eyes get wide as she realizes that this place looks painfully familiar. She catches a glimpse of blue fabric and... BLOND HAIR out of the corner of her eye.]


No. Nooo no no no no no not this again!

[Looking up at the opening at the top of the bottle she cups her hands around her mouth and shouts]


HELLOOO-OOOOO?! IS ANYONE OUT THERE?!

((ooc: LOSS START! Open over the journal or in Homura's room. And there's still room if anyone else wants a genie for a day!))

[it begins with a splash. Or...lots of splashes, actually, even though Homura's bathtub was definitely not filled when she saw it last.

The cause of all the splashing becomes apparent soon enough as...something...no, someone hauls herself up, adjusting to having lungs instead of gills and the troublesome activity known as "breathing" which would accompany them]


Gahhhhh...


[That splashing definitely catches Homura's attention, and the timid Puella Magi goes against her better instincts to go investigate. While she was certain it wasn't a witch (there was no Grief Seed, no... nothing. And why would a witch decide to take up residence in her bathroom?), she had been told enough about Paradisa to be convinced it was something possibly equally dangerous... in a way. Not that she thought she could handle whatever it was on her own, but still.

... So imagine her surprise to find a person in her bathtub, when she was pretty sure she had been alone in her room. Now multiply that by five, and you might have Homura's reaction.]


W-what... what's going on...?

[not a witch, not anymore.

There's a long pause, punctuated by bewildered blinks. The voice is familiar, but the sight before her is most certainly not. Her first thought is "who are you and what have you done with uber-bitch," until the foreign surroundings and question distracts her from it]


I'm hoping you could tell me.


[Sorry, Sayaka, Homura's no Miss Cleo... though she probably wouldn't have an answer even then. At best, all she can do is stand there and try to process the sight in front of her.

Oh, and... try to figure out who Sayaka is, but that can come later.]


I-I'm not sure... t-they said this place does weird things, s-so....

[headtilt. The effect's kind of spoilt by how she's still dripping all over and looking like a drowned rat]

Right. Weird things. [that could explain why her memories for the past weeks are all watery and unclear] ...I'm guessing this isn't my room, either.


[n o p e . . . but Homura just shakes her head, still bewildered.]

N-No, um... i-it's mine...

[this is really NOT AWKWARD AT ALL. The more they carry on, the more unnerving it gets -- who are you??!]

Ah.
[and the only exit is the one Homura's standing in. tres bien.]

[Hey, the question could be returned right back at Sayaka. Homura hadn't met Miki Sayaka or Sakura Kyouko before her arrival at Paradisa. But there's some awkward turtling as Homura just... stands there, unsure of what she's supposed to be doing, before looking around for an answer to her situation...]

U-um... you... erm... y-you... d-do you need help?

... I could use a towel. [it's said grudgingly; the last time Homura offered "help" isn't going to be forgotten any time soon. She can't shake the feeling that this is all a horrendously trippy lucid dream and she'd punch herself in the face when she comes to for real]

[ooc: black is Homura and blue is Sayaka, if it...wasn't obvious. lol]

[There's the sound of pages being flipped through, and some nervous shuffling, before a timid voice speaks up.]

Is this a witch's barrier...? U-Um, excuse me! If... if you speak into this, it records your words, right...? In that case, um...

[Wow this is hard. Who'd have thought a magical journal could be so difficult?]

I-I have a few questions! I don't... I don't know if anyone can help me, but, well... Um, first off! This place is called... Paradisa, right? Where... exactly are we? I-I mean-! This doesn't look like anywhere familiar to me. Is it possible that...

... N-Nevermind, actually. There's no reaction from the Soul Gem... My other question is... um... has anyone seen my friends? Kaname Madoka and Tomoe Mami- please, if anyone knows someone by those names, c-can you tell me? It's really important, and-!

[...]

I want to know they're okay...

[ A SIGH AND: ]

Ah, so— This isn't a dream. A castle such as this one looks almost ideal, but looks do deceive, don't they. [ they don't deceive her oops ] An illusion simply made for reassurance— [ she stops abruptly, it's not the time to be all judgmental aah ] How gullible.

It's not my intention to reside in this castle nor participate in anything. That said, I will not forgive the one behind this. You should know time is not to be toyed with or even wasted. I will not forgive you for wasting mine. [ HAHAHAHAHA that's right ] But— [ a pause... ]

There is someone I am looking for. She goes by the name Kaname Madoka.

[ and here it comes!!!! ]

I hope, for your sake, that she's not been harmed. I will not tolerate it.

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.
