PARADISA LOST

I haven't gotten flowers in a long time.

I don't know the person who sent these, but thanks anyway.


Now I just need to make sure the kitten doesn't try to eat them.

[ recorded in shock and horror ]

Why are there



... What happened to me?


[ flipping back, reading, then continuing this in writing ]


I don't exactly know what happened to make me act that way, but I'm sorry.

So I was thinking about going to



[ and then the loss was like, "lol hay sup?" from here on out, the entry's dictated. the following sentence is in response to seeing her badge in front of her, because it sits on her desk beside her journal. ]


What the— This isn't mine! Why's it in here?


[ footsteps, then the sound of the door opening. and, veeeeery faintly, the sound of her badge hitting the floor down the hall. she threw it toward elliot's room, just 'cause. we planned it this way. it's relevant. ]



I'm out of here now.





[ ooc: It begins. A little later than planned because lol I suck at remembering and paying attention. Anyway, she's now out to smoke and drink and raise hell in the alleys of the town. :/ Okay, not really. Well, no, she is going to the town, but not to smoke and drink and raise hell. ...OR IS SHE? More to come in this, the first loss for Olivia. It's also another chapter in the epic saga of E/O wangst — which technically started the day she showed up and couldn't remember him, but anyway. ]

The ghosts are gone? Well, that sucks. Now I have to make my own coffee.   [ light laugh ]   This should be good. Anyway, hopefully they'll be back. I'm not sure how things work here, but maybe they're on some kind of vacation? Didn't think ghosts needed a vacation, but ... hey, whatever.

At least you can go down there with me and not get shoved into the pantry, right, Elliot?

Puppies are cute, but I'm actually glad I didn't end up with one. They're kind of high-maintenance, and taking them outside when you're on the higher floors would be kind of a pain. Still, I hope everyone who got one is enjoying their little surprise.

I'd need something simple, something I couldn't get too attached to. Like a fish. A goldfish. All you do is feed them and keep their water clean. Not too hard.

...You know, that doesn't sound like a bad idea, really.

The fireworks are a nice change, but just how much longer can they go on?

Fourth of July fireworks shows don't even last this long.

You know, I don't think I've ever been so thankful for sleep in my life.

This whole "Ganados" ordeal puts every all-nighter I pulled doing reports to shame.

I feel a lot better now.
