Hey, Steph. Could I talk to you?
[identity profile] thenewbat.livejournal.com
[Terry is finishing up some awesome and fun gym working out because he doesn't get into as many fights as he used to. But since he's done it's time to dictate into the journal]

Working out alone... Almost makes me miss the synthoids with the old man over my shoulder. Almost.

So does anyone know why there was a fire on the ninth floor yet?
[identity profile] thenewbat.livejournal.com
[Terry is in the kitchen, attempting to cook! Except he's not paying attention and is, instead, flipping through his journal when he should be watching his burger]

Didn't something happen last year for Valentines day? It was... Arrows, right? Guess I'll just lock myself in my room for it. That always seems to work for me when this stuff happens. At least it all never seems to last for long.

[More page flipping and then he stops and sniffs]

What- Oh slag! [Drops his journal and runs over to take his now horribly burnt burger off the stove with a sigh]

Guess it's a sandwich night again...


((Hurr durr open :B ))

[The night's cold and clear; a careless exhale will puff out in a gaslit cloud. The ice is clear and slick on some roofs, treacherously cracked and sliding on others. On others yet it's thin, black, rough- nearly invisible against the shingles until that fatal misstep.

You didn't think Battag was going to be easy, did you?

It's twenty minutes since Batman called the start, and a shadow just flickered behind the roof to the right. Or it's an hour in and action's running high, when Robin's laugh echoes from above. Or there's Batgirl, taking a break in the shadow of a chimney, but it's okay - someone else is It.

... right?]



((The long-awaited rooftop shenanigans! Start threads, tag around, go nuts! Encounters can be friendly or vicious, competitive or co-op... the only rule is, Batman makes the rules.

The chat is battag. Let's do this.))

[Sitting at a table in the library, Terry is looking at his Christmas present from the castle: His family photo album. He's also drinking some water because SOMEONE forgot what happened to people last year.And now it's time to talk while his formerly closed journal records it all for posterity]

You know, I really miss home. A lot. This place is so old fashioned and none of my family is here. Not that there is much of them. Just mom and Matt. But then there's Dana and Max and my friends from school. I miss them too. Even Nelson. Actually, no. Not Nelson. Not really. I miss having a working eye too. I still bump into stuff sometimes even though it's been over a year now. It's not fair-

[Goes to grab his drink and due to his impaired facilities and the fact it was on his blind side, knocks it all over his opened journal. Sorry about that folks! He'll just stare at the mess, confused]

...Something's not right here. [Yeah Terry that's because you're DRUNK]
[identity profile] thenewbat.livejournal.com
[Terry has avoided this whole kissing madness by hiding in his room and avoiding everyone over. But now it's time to get out because he is going insane from boredom and lack of major social contact. So he's walking around the castle with Ace at his side, his journal open]

It's safe to come out now, isn't it? I've been lucky this year with the kissing thing, but I'm probably jinxing myself saying that. I guess I'll just have to take the risk.


((You guys know what to do. :) ))

Who: Several varieties of Bat.
What: It's SHOWTIME, kiddies~!
Where: The abandoned apothecary on the north side of town~!
When: Happy Halloween.

Trick-or-Treaters already!? Well, come on, kiddies, there's PLENTY for all~! )

[First off, there's a written page number]

I'm guess everyone saw this? Good. [Though he's hoping you'll ignore the crap that Joker is saying about him thnx] He's the Joker from my time, but he's not really the Joker, exactly.This is going to take some explaining and if you have questions i don't know if I'll be able to answer them all. I heard this from Gordon who told me because Bruce hadn't before he couldn't.

Cut but not cut ICly of course )

[He's.... not sure how to end this post especially since Bruce is creeping in his room with him and listening to this.....]

Be careful.
[identity profile] thenewbat.livejournal.com
[IN A HALLWAY SOMEWHERE Terry is trying to be badass and take his impaient dog outside and dictate into the journal at the same time]

Ace, slow down!

I've been here since December first. That means I'll have been here a year in three months. I'm not sure if I should celebrate or just pretend I haven't been around that long in the first place- Woah! [A recorded bark and then a bang as said dog jerks on the leash and, thanks to his lack of depth perception, makes Terry run into a wall.]

SLAG! I swear... I thought you were supposed to like me by now, Wondermutt. No one had better have saw that...
[identity profile] thenewbat.livejournal.com
[The second Batman is outside, somewhere where there is a convenient tree. And that convenient tree has a nice and convenient knot in it. That convenient knot makes for great Batarang target practice. He throws one into the knot and then makes a line of them going down the tree. When he gets to the base of the trunk he goes and collects them before repeating the process.

Every Bat needs to keep his skills up you know. Even if he's pretty bored doing it.]



((Mmmyup. Open post. :B))
[identity profile] thenewbat.livejournal.com
[Terry's in town, patrolling like a good Bat. Well, he's not being a good Bat because he's taking a break to check his journal. And everything will be written to avoid voice issues if someone was to catch him outside right now]

Is today really the 20th?


((THE MOST OPEN POST EVER. also backdated to before midnight but while he was still dark lawl))
[identity profile] thenewbat.livejournal.com
I think it was the clothes I missed the most. And electricity. I really won't miss all the monsters and things though. I don't anyone will, actually.

[And after he gets those lovely words out, Batman is on the roof, getting ready to talk to a robin and then go into the city to patrol. Obviously you must bother him]
[identity profile] thenewbat.livejournal.com
[Dictated forever- Future boy doesn't understand these past shenanigans]

People used to wear this stuff? Who wears this? Well, aside from me right now since I have no other clothes. I don't even want to know why there's tights in my closet. I'm not even going to go there and I am not wearing them. Who comes up with this stuff? I've seen computers that are less complex than these clothes.

[Recorded clothes noises and then a frustrated sound] Slag it, I'm not leaving my room till this is all over.

[the hostages have all been saved and Riful's disappeared! It wasn't exactly a *win* per se, but at least things have started to calm down...

But that still leaves everyone at her manor! Hostages need to be fed and given water, they probably need baths, fighters will need medical attention...the works! Heck, those worried at home might even want to put out dictated messages down here! They should probably tell people back at the castle things are over too, if they don't know it themselves.

How about getting some supplies sent in? New clothes? Things aren't going to be over lickity split you know! How's everyone going to get home, should the house be looked into, and some people really were hurt...How will the next few days play out? It's a 3.5 day walk home after all, and you can't lock onto the manor's location...]



[[OOC: Plot finale! This is where you post all the reactions and such to the end of the plot; here you guys will make your own sections and the like. Find a creative way to get things done that doesn't follow our usual "thanks to Character A and Character B everything's fine in half a day!" :D Also, the manor's layout again:

Attic (spinning wheel here)
Main Floor 2
Main Floor 1
Cellar

There's no furniture in the house aside for the spinning wheel :) If you need more info, ask Jenn @: a great fanfare (since she created Riful's crib :>)

Backtagging and thread hopping here, as well as in Part One and Part Two is heavily encouraged!
If you're still lost, here's a time line detailing the whole event. The plot chat will continue on as well, until you guys think we don't need it!

[This is it, folks! The showdown you've all been waiting for! After Allen and Dick's disastrous attempt to help the hostages they too have found themselves imprisoned below...

As for Riful? The clamor of everyone gathering around her manor has pulled her from the depths within and she's standing outside in human form, wearing naught but a simple white dress. A serene and gentle smile curves her lips as she surveys everyone who's arrived, arms clasped behind her back.

Some of you may be eager to start the battle right away, but that may not being in your best interests... Especially since she's going to address them all first.]


Wow, a lot of people showed up. Many more than I expected.

[You've all searched long and hard to get here--a strange manor surrounded by thick forests and right near the mountains that encompass Paradisa's castle. It's old-looking and you can't quite place the architecture...and it has an oddly empty feel to it. It certainly doesn't look like the place where a guts-eating monster would be dwelling, nor where she'd kidnap and torture people. But appearances can certainly be deceiving...

Now that everyone involved knows where she is, it's time to converge and figure out a battle plan.]

[picks up mid conversation]--yeah, haven't heard from Babs in a while, so... two birds with one stone. It's pretty terrible that Damian's been the only one Abby's met.

[knock knock knock]

Helllloooooo? Babs? You home?

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.
