[He'd been thinking about what Spike had said a month ago. Perhaps finding a job would be a good idea. Besides, he was the kind of man who enjoyed having something to do in his spare time.

So, you may see him walking about the city, just scoping for anything that looks the least bit interesting.]

In all these events and such, I forgot my own birthday...

[A sigh]
I guess I am getting old.

Who: Anyone!
What: John Wayne Movie Night
When: Tonight, Saturday November 26.

Who: It's Thanksgiving! ANYONE WHO WANTS FOOD!
Where: The Lux & Paradisa Perk in the lobby
What: Food. Too much of it.
When: Thanksgiving. All Day.
Notes: Threadjacking is a-okay! 3rd person and [spam] are welcome! Also this is a continuation of the Friend Loss.

The Coffee Shop in the lobby is fully decorated for the season. Paper fold-out turkeys and browns and orange colors are streamed around. The coffee flavors for the day have a nice Pumpkin Spice or feel free to pick out something more warm cinnamon-scented. The Lux has a myriad of lovely flavors swimming around and out the doors. Turkey, potatoes (four kinds), tofurkey for her vegetarian friend(s), and everything that you could possibly dream to have for Thanksgiving is here. Stuffing, pies, casseroles -- Neal and Jo outdid themselves and it's all cooked and prepared by hand. No Ghosts were used in the preparation of this meal.

Jo is dressed for the holiday and mostly running around the kitchen bossing people around. There might have been a moment where she was clapping and shouting at all of her helpers to "Move it! Move it!"

It'll all be worth it in the end.

Everyone will be at her place and she'll be the host and it'll all be perfect.

Perfect.

It'll be perfect or she's going to kill someone. Possibly.

Who: Jo, Julia, Spike, Gwaine, Jet, and Max!
What: The castle opts to give the gang a shared dream experience of Thanksgivings "Past".
When: The Night Before Thanksgiving.
Notes: There will be three sections for the three different "times" they've supposedly had Thanksgiving together in their implied history past. These things aren't "happening" in real time, it's just our fun way of playing with this loss a bit more by writing out the implied history that this group remembers.

( The one with the shared dreams... )

huntersdaughter

Who: Jo, Jet, Spike S., Max, Julia, and Gwaine.
Where: Jo's house in the city.
What: Gwaine returns after the expedition. Julia is upset. Clearly.
When: ... when Gwaine returns.
Notes: Friends Loss Continues.

[Apparently, when you're raised in a military-like compound and not exposed to pop-culture while you grow up -- you miss out on a lot of things. Max has recently realized that she doesn't exactly know all of the movies that Jo and Julia grew up loving. We'll skip over the part where Jo and Julia know all the words to Lawfully Pretty and skip right to where they're trying to explain to Max that hard work does pay off and that the core message is really about accepting you for yourself, and that the sequel deals with a side of animal rights. Which, they figure Max will appreciate.]

We can watch the next one, too. [You know, in case Gwaine isn't back yet. She glances to the boys, because she is not putting in Die With Difficulty again. This is supposed to be making Julia feel better.]

huntersdaughter

Who: Jo and the people she invites to stay with her.
Where: Her house which is also the Continuing Hope Art Gallery
When: Sunday - Monday - Tuesday (all three days can get clumped into this one post. Just put the day in your subject!)
What: Duh. People have been locked out of the castle. This is because of that.
Notes: Sunday, we will assume she invited people in their own journals or they knew they had a standing invitation to stay if things went crazy. Those people, I've oocly contacted. On Monday, she will be making a journal entry opening up space in the gallery. She didn't want to do it if it was just a one-day thing. So if you want your character to get some CR with Jo, or anyone you see tagging into this post - feel free to throw a Monday or a Tuesday up in this post and direct someone toward it! You can reply to their comment with an OOC note or just send them a PM. None of us bite and we want more CR! -- also -- 3rd person narrative OR [commentspam] are okay by me.

It was... weird. Well, not as weird as hearing that before she had arrived in the castle no one had been actually "arriving" for a month. That had been around Christmas, nearly two years ago, and that was when apparently people were moving to the city convinced that they were 'from' the city. So far, it didn't sound like the stories she'd heard from those days. If anything this just felt like the castle was having her time of the month and didn't want anyone to touch her.

Or, maybe the castle was tired of everyone saying that it was a horrible place to be. The damn thing seemed to have a mind of its own, why not feelings too? Whatever was wrong with it, there were leaves piled up, people stuck outside and a lot of residents not feeling exactly welcome in a place that had kidnapped them.

That was the most ironic thought of the day.

Jo had a few friends that she knew would show up if they needed a place to crash, so she spent most of the early morning hours making sure she had clean towels and that the pull-out couch had clean sheets on it. Lucky for anyone staying with her, she'd gone grocery shopping the other day -- it had been on her list of things to do along with the inventory for the Lux -- and so her fridge was just fine. Besides, she assumed that this wasn't going to be a week-long thing.

Well, she hoped it wasn't going to be a week-long thing.

For the moment, Jo was just wondering what she was going to do with her time. It had been a while since she'd had a day off from the Lux. Not since... before the pirates. When her bar was destroyed. Man, she really hopes her bar isn't destroyed.

[Jet had decided after a week of being in the castle that perhaps he should at least use this journal of his. He'd spoken to a few residents, but other than that, being a hermit wasn't something he really wanted. Reaching out might be a good idea, especially if he was going to be stuck here. Because talking into a book still seemed kinda weird, Jet decided to record in the privacy of his bedroom for now. Perhaps he'd get used to it at some point.]

Well, I still don't understand how talking into a book works, but at least I know it does. Anything else about this castle I should know about? I didn't get too much info, but there's no time like the present to get some now. Lord knows I didn't get much information out of those two.

Not a moment's peace.... [ Well, it starts with a nice little rendition of quiet rage. And then proceeds to morph, because Jet doesn't really... do quiet rage. ]

...in this ridiculous, bullshit castle... a man can't have a moment's peace!

[ That is a metal fist hitting a table, because someone is most certainly pissed- that old hand of his is possibly the only good thing he's noted since returning, even. What kind of lowlife does someone even have to be to overturn bonsai trees? What kind of magic castle doesn't even water the things while it sends the caretaker out to play pirate to start with? No, no. Jet's calling personal foul on this one.

And action is indeed open to all- whether it's still on the ship, wandering the hallways taking in the damage, or even if someone feels the urge to head on in through his open room door while he's starting to set things to rights. ((j- just pardon my slowness, as there are definitely still world-change backtags I must see to.)) ]

[ He kept to himself when the baby thing cropped up; plenty enough people were going on about it, plenty of kids were getting hold of journals, and it wasn't at all hard to find out that it wouldn't be a permanent deal. No need to get all riled up about it.

(and, as ever, he wound up getting attached.)

At least his had come too young to understand that it's not so wonderful to stay in one room for a full week. As it is, Jet's definitely in favor of getting his ass out of the room today. He's not too hard to run into- lobby, library, Death Match (one of those places you can't not go back to, what can he say?). In other words, open like a door off the hinges (though he is keeping a particular eye open for one Radical Edward- it's really been a while). He'll even offer up sagely advice for the masses later on. It's almost trying to be helpful and not sulky. ]

You get used to that kind of stunt, sooner or later.

Not a lot of [ people ] things are designed to stick around. Gotta take the evidence where you can. [ Maybe that was the whole point. ]

just-a-cycle.livejournal.com

[ Something is telling him, today, that it's time to get up and find out where Spike's drifted off to- and if there's one thing to be said for Jet Black, it's that he trusts his damn instincts when they suggest he needs to do something.

And this is something he does quietly. No calling up over the journal, no deliberately asking around (because if this turns out to be nothing, because it could be nothing, he's not getting pegged as the guy who couldn't leave well enough alone): he'll just make it a point to be walking. If he happens to pass by places he thinks the guy would be likely to turn up in, well, that's awfully convenient, isn't it?

It's at some point in the early afternoon that he decides to throw caution to the wind and find Spike's assigned room. The last place you ever think to look for Spike Spiegel, after all, is the place the average person could be expected to be. ]

[Filtered away from anybody who would use this information to be a jackass.]
[Dictated!]

Alright, so anybody who's interested in building that cabin thing I talked about, come over to Caritas and we'll start planning it.

I'm not picking up your tab, though, so bring your own fake impossible money.

[ooc. even if your character hadn't expressed interest before, feel free to show up now anyway & tag yourself in! questions re: this whole debacle can go outside the caritas thread. the filter is samson-speak for "evil characters," by the way, fff]

[ Jet's not been much of one to hide his opinion on the magical castle where you wish for whatever you want and get it. It's stupid.

Waste of resources.

Waste of a valuable lesson, because a man should have to work and really earn what he owns, damn it. How else is he supposed to appreciate what he's got and not go around complaining?

...that said, bonsai trees are something he considers to be a bit of an exception. They are necessary for the preservation of his sanity, after all, and god knows he'll need it intact. The wishing commences and he'll actually even pick one or two to let hang around outside. Feel free to catch him on the way there or back to his room, not that he'll ever admit how he got the things. Then enjoy the soooooothing sounds of tiny clippers in the background while he dictates, Para. ]

Seems to me a place like this sees more disaster than it's worth. [ Ah, the fun of picking through past entries. ] How's the weapons market look for when that happens? Tch. If there even is one.

ooc: and. tagging after work tomorrow, oh gloriously patient people ;;

[ It was a toss-up between drinking and reading, really. As far as Jet's concerned, they're both very worthwhile ways to spend a day in his local castle from hell. All a matter of whether he'd prefer productivity that isn't really productive or a good shot.

He takes the library today, where he'll wind up leafing through whatever books he comes across related to technology or the supernatural and probably wind up without much he considers worth the trouble. Figures. Such is the life, and he's fully available to be poked.

...oh, and he's been meaning to ask his not-a-crew-ex-crew. You three know who you are. ]

You idiots wind up getting killed or what? [ They never checked in on time even back in the day when they were actually obligated to, damn. ]

just-a-cycle.livejournal.com

So.

There usually a schedule for when things get idiotic around here, or should I give up on that while I'm ahead? [ Jet...tentatively deems this day safe enough to do a little more castle-exploration. The way he has it figured, his luck means he'll have to get around the place fast and without warning one of these days.

This mostly just consists of starting on floor One and seeing what's what down there, if someone were to catch him. ]

Where: Jo's apartment in the city.
Rating: I hope the only warning is the language.

( Cards, booze and friends. It's a perfect solution. )

[ It's just not every day you wake up landlocked in a giant castle, you know? Jet is understandably pissed, and it carries in his voice quite nicely. ]

The hell is this?

Who: Red, Jet, and Vincent
What: Red asked Jet to teach him how to play shogi, so Jet comes over to do so... but Red is staying with Vinnie for the week, so~
When: Tomorrow afternoon
Where: Vincent's room, 317
Rating: PG?

( He worried over his friend, but that wouldn't stop him from having a good time. )

manlysideburns.livejournal.com

Well, that's one loss for old Jet. Good game, D! I'll look forward to you teaching me how the hell you cornered me!

I may have gotten my ass handed to me there but I still know the basics, so if you're still up to learning some shogi, Red, just tell me when and where.

Who: Jet Black and D
What: Shogi 8D
When: Tuesday Afternoon
Where: Jet's Room
Rating: PG!

( Eventually D began to set up Jet for an elaborate trap. It was tricky, and it was sneaky. He had a feeling it would work--at least this once. )

Well, that proved that. ~~God, what did they serve there? I haven't had such a wicked hangover in years~~

So what do you people do here to keep sane?

...anyone play shogi?

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.
