[Ever since her arrival in 'Paris', Vivian has become a very busy woman, running her own business. It's not quite the same as the one she had back home but it didn't stop Vivian from buckling down and making it work. Being a successful businesswoman does have some perks: a chauffeur, a nice penthouse with a lovely view and VIP access to a lot of places in the city.

The downside being is that Vivian hasn't had much time to catch up with anyone she knows and the time she does have to herself, is mostly spent on business plans for the next day.

Needless to say, Vivian thinks she deserves an afternoon off which was why she was leaving her office and going out for the day.

The business could manage without her for a few hours.

((ooc: Open! Feel free to catch her as she leaves the building or out on the street. Also open for kisses! :3))

I've only just realised that it's been over six months since I arrived here.

Not as long as some people here, but I'm amazed by how the time has flown in.

I'm curious about something though.

Is there anyone else here who is the only one from their world?

Who: Vivian Volkoff and YOU
What: Vivian's having tea in the city.
When: November 25th
Where: At a coffee shop.
Rating: PG.

Tea had always been Vivian's preference to coffee. Possibly a conformation to a stereotype given that she was English, but that didn't matter to her. She had tea with her breakfast at home so why should that change when she was here? Vivian wasn't going to change her routine too much, only tweak it a little to accommodate the environment she was in.

After tending to her horse at the stables, she took a trip into the city, wanting to explore it a bit further and see what she could come across. Vivian remembered Jo telling her not so long ago about the coffee shop there so she decided to check it out for herself. Except not go for the coffee.

Soon, Vivian was seated at a booth by the window, a cup of steaming tea on the table in front of her, accompanied by a rather delicious looking blueberry muffin.

Life was good.

[If you come into the kitchen tonight, you'll find Vivian baking. Or at least attempting to bake.

She's currently mixing up something in a bowl, trying not to make too much of a mess. Vivian keeps checking it occasionally, wanting to get it perfect and the right texture. She's making blueberry muffins by the way. Rather than wishing for them, Vivian decided to make them from scratch, even if it took a number of tries.

There's a burning smell in the room; the source of which can be traced to the the pan resting on one of the counters. The remains of Vivian's first attempt at the muffins.

Beside the pan is an empty one with muffin cases ready to be filled with the mixture. After she's done stirring, Vivian takes a spoon and starts to fill the cases, one by one.

Hopefully no one would break her concentration.

Who: Anyone!
Where: The Castle Lobby - Just outside the entrance to the Lux
When: Saturday - All Day
What: Hanging out, Coffee, Scrabble, board games!
Note: Prose or [action] are a-okay. If anyone has Words with Friends I can ICly play with you! my username is Lollobrigida. If you have Words with Friends, just drop your username in a comment and people can play with you!



Jo has raided the game room and the library. All the board games that she could find, without actually wishing them up, were now placed out on the tables that she'd set up earlier in the week. The biggest thought she has is that this'll just be a lazy weekend for people to relax and enjoy some actual normal company. Of course, there's a chance that this will turn into something else, but for the moment (which would be just while she's setting things up) she'll remain hopeful.

With the games set up around the varied tables, Jo takes a seat at the Scrabble board and starts to flip the letter tiles upside down in the lid of the box. She'll try to rope people into games as they walk by.

Who: All of Paradisa! That means YOU
What: Feasts and fireworks, oh my!
When: The third day of Diwali; Friday, Oct. 28th
Where: Everywhere (though just the ballroom for the feast)
Rating: Um, not more than PG? This is a family holiday, guys, come on...

Diwali is living up to it’s name today. The lights are everywhere today both outside and in.  Stands of candles line the lobby like a temple and lanterns hang from the very ceiling. Everywhere there is light.

Today, however, you can add new smells and sounds to the list as well. Music drifts through the air into the lobby, along with the fragrant, spice filled scents of foods and sweets.

((FEAST | FIREWORKS))

[In the background you can hear the pouring of liquid and tapping on a glass before Vivian speaks over the journal.]

Sometimes, I think that I'm better off here...and that's the moment when I think that I should be at home instead so I can forget about this place. Just poof! Gone like that! Forget everything.

[A pause.]

Forget about anyone who has left...

[Vivian sounds sad for a moment before she abruptly closes her journal.]

Much as I love the great outdoors, I'm so relieved to be back inside again. Even if the castle is responsible for practically everything that goes wrong here.

That being said, I hope that things remain quiet here for a little while longer.

[Though she has a feeling that something else will happen soon.]

If anyone is looking for me later I'll be in the Lux, having a few drinks.

[And sure enough, Vivian is indeed at the Lux, sitting by the bar and nursing a glass of wine.]

Who: Vivian Volkoff and YOU (via this post)
What: Horse riding, meeting new people.
When: 23rd September
Where: At the stables and the castle grounds
Rating: None.

Vivian was expecting a few people to turn up this afternoon at the stables so she had spent most of the morning preparing everything and getting the place ready. She was changed into her riding gear and was standing by Oklahoma Rain's stall, brushing his mane. The other horses were already taken care of before so Vivian didn't have to worry about them.

She found herself to be looking forward to this because it meant that she could get to know some more people and hopefully gain a few friends out of it. More importantly, it could also lead to Vivian finding a few riding partners because while she enjoyed taking her horse out by herself, having company was never a bad thing.

Is there anyone here interested in horse riding?

I'm looking for people to ride around the castle grounds with and maybe do a little exploration further afield.

If I get enough interest, I might also consider teaching people how to ride a horse if they really want to learn.

[Vivian really needs to find other ways to spend her time rather than drinking in the various bars at the castle and visiting the shooting range.]

Just contact me here if it's something you'd like.

Thanks.

Who: Mal and ye gun-happy folk
What: He needs to shoot things. Fancy that?
When: Thursday afternoon
Where: Shooting Range
Rating: PG.


This had to be one of those rare 'Grace of God' moments that Mal didn't believe in. His wandering about had found him in front of what seemed like a fully functioning shooting range. Mal, well...had never actually been to a range before though he was a good shot when it came to real world application. And his fancy for shooting off his pistol had been growing since he woke up that fateful night pantsless. He'd signed in with a glee akin to a child on Christmas and proudly strutted to the shooting range. After having been pointed to where it was, of course.

The day was bright and if he could try he could keep the castle out of his peripheral. Either way, with the first round off and a neat pock of circular bullet holes in his target, he started to feel better. A little more at ease. He pondered that he could spend the whole afternoon there if he really tried. No flack off his back, really. It was much simpler here. Mal liked simple.

Last time I was awake it was July. Now it's August.

I'm assuming the castle has something to do with this? Putting me into some kind of sleep coma?

At least I'm not a pony anymore.

[Have a tallish, purple pony with green eyes and brown hair wandering around the lobby of the castle, Paradisa. Her journal is being held in her mouth for sake keeping.

She looks confused, maybe even frustrated; it's clear that something isn't quite right here.

For one thing, she seems very unsteady on her feet and not used to walking like this. The pony comes to a complete stop, dropping the journal to the ground. It flips open and it catches the end of her words.

Stupid bloody castle!

((ooc: Vivian's first loss is go! Open as an open thing! Bother over journal or in person! :3))

[So the Death Match isn't Vivian's usual scene, but she's there sitting at the bar and downing shots. Her journal is open beside her and she seems to be unaware of it for the time being, concentrating on the glasses in front of her. Vivian gestures to the bartender for more and while she's waiting she takes a look around for a moment.

The bartender sets three more glasses down in front of her and Vivian goes to pick it up. When she does, it slips from her grip, spilling some of the contents over her journal.
]

Whoops! That was silly of me.

[She giggles a little before picking up the next glass and downs it in one go.]

((ooc: So, so open! Bother her at the bar or over her journal :3))

Since arriving here over a month ago, I've had my eyes opened to a lot of things. Sometimes I think that I'm dreaming and that I'll wake up at home in my bed.

My world is normal back home: no magic, nothing supernatural at all. I suppose I'm just a little cautious about venturing outside of the castle because I'm afraid.

I know that I shouldn't be because anyone I've spoken to have been friendly and helpful. One of my closest friends that I've made here is a talking pony for example.

I just need a little more time I think... [there's a pause before Vivian writes in her journal again:]

Does anyone else ever feel like I do? Or has done so in the past?
formersocialite: (Default)
[personal profile] formersocialite
[Vivian's in the kitchen, making a snack for herself after waking up in the middle of the night to discover that she felt quite hungry. She could have just as easily asked for the castle to give her something but making it herself would be more of an accomplishment in Vivian's opinion.

So, you'll find her there, looking in the various cupboards and hunting through the fridge to see what's on offer. There's already a cup of tea sitting nearby on the counter next to her journal but Vivian prefers to leave it to cool before drinking it. A habit that she always had ever since she was young. She's probably making quite a racket too, so anyone who is asleep right now or wandering past may hear her.

She's also dressed in her nightwear and her hair's a little messy.

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.
