❀ Episode 16 ❀ [Dictated]
Hey... anyone seen any weird stuff happen since the castle got put back together? I'm not going out if I'm gonna just get attacked by wild monkeys or fall into some kind of bottomless pit!
[She doesn't know or care how all the weird things that happened were connected or the details of what actually did happen, she's just glad it seems to be over! With her birthday rapidly approaching, she's super wary of what the castle might do to mess with her this year. But hey, maybe if she gets lucky, it'll be tired after all of this nonsense and won't even bother.
Well, whatever's going on, she's not about to announce it to the rest of the castle yet. Juuust in case. But back to the topic at hand!]
Ugh, at least we had the laundry room, but how come the other side got all the good places?! If everything's back to normal now, I'm going to the kitchen for some breakfast and then the pool or something! ... Maybe the four seasons tower, if anyone wants to join me there? I don't care which room, as long as it's not my room.
[Consider that your (somewhat annoyed and frustrated) invitation, Paradisa. Even with everything else on her side of the castle, being locked out of most of her regular haunts on top of weird things happening was driving her crazy all week! She might even go out into town later! Just because she can. Maybe she'll even run into you, wherever she goes?]
[Filtered to Sheena]
[A little bit later, Rise sounds much less annoyed and much perkier under the filter she sets up for her friend.]
Hey, Sheena~! Things got a little crazy for a while, but you wanna get together sometime next week? It'll be just like we planned!
Just let me know if you're busy or not for now, 'kay? I'm... not totally sure if I'll be available just yet.
[Hey, a girl has to do something to celebrate her birthday. Even a day or two late, or with only one friend. She could always work out something else to do if the castle continues to do nothing to her! But Sheena sleepovers (and makeovers) are long overdue~!]

[Someone may be a tad confused about "Four Seasons".]
dictated and wow sorry for the extraordinary lateness x_x
Great~! Do you know where the tower is? I can meet you anywhere you want!
Oh... and don't forget a swimsuit!
dictated; No problem! :>
Swimsuit? I have the perfect one!
dictated
[And judging from the lack of response so far, she'll probably be the only one there, so no need to concern herself over whether they'll recognize each other or not. It'll be an adventure in meeting new people!]
Just let me know if you're having any trouble finding it.
[She's gotta keep the journal open anyway, in case anyone else accepts the invitation!]
dictated => action?
[Even London's surprised at how easily she found the tower. Having been somewhat used to castles, she knows that you have to go down before you can go up.]
[She approaches, spotting the trendy girl with the beautiful, red-auburn hair.]
This is the Four Seasons tower, right?
action!
Yep, this is it! I come here all the time... especially the second floor.
[She sure isn't being specific about the purpose of this trip, is she? Hopefully this won't come back to bite her later.]
action!
action
The reason we brought swimsuits, of course~!
[Yeah, she might be enjoying the suspense a little too much. But she's already leading the other girl to their destination, if she's following.]
I'm Rise, by the way! I don't think we've met...
[The girl is slightly familiar somehow, but it's been a long time since London's been in the castle. And they never really properly met back then, either.]
action (My turn to apologize for lateness! orz)
[London's following along, oblivious of the fact that she'd been in the castle at some point before.]
action (that's nothing compared to how slow I've been this week D; )
London? Like the city?
[What an unusual name! But Rise likes it. It's unique!]
Nice to meet you, London-chan!
[Yep, heading straight into familiar territory. Though most people don't understand her honorifics in this castle... she's never quite shaken the habit of using them. Unless asked not to.]
Aaaand here we are~!
[Finding the right door, she opens it up to reveal... a beach. An extremely clean and nice beach, but still. Just a beach.]
action (Np!)
This castle really is magical! I could never fit a whole beach in my mansion back home!
action
[Never mind that Rise doesn't really know London at all. Who wouldn't like a magical beach?
Wait...]
... Did you say 'mansion'?
action
It's a summer home, though. I don't actually see it very often.
[Rise] Hello... So sorry this is late. :(
[Said good-naturedly, but concern creeps in.]
Are you okay?
[Check on her friend first. Find next. Plan get-together third.]
[Sheena] no problem! ♥
[She's putting as much effort as she can into being one hundred percent convincing, because the last thing she wants is to jinx herself! Mention worrying about her upcoming birthday and the castle might just decide to hit her with a loss again. ... It might do it anyway, but she's still going to be careful!]
Just still a little shaken up from all that, I guess. Can't wait for things to really settle down again for a while.
[Rise] <3!
[Oooorrrr, she can mention her upcoming birthday and be hit by a present from a certain young ninja in violet instead.]
So, what's wrong with your room that you don't want to stay in it? Did the castle redecorate?
[Sheena]
Oh, no, it's nothing like that! I just... haven't left much since all the weirdness started happening. It gets kinda boring...
[Rise]
[Awww.... Well, Sheena will still get her a present.]
Yeah. I totally understand. I think I was getting stir crazy the first day.
All right! Let's do something! What would you like to do?
[Sheena]
[Nothing wrong with having it a little earlier than planned, if Sheena's up for it!]
[Rise] I am so sorry!
Is there anything I need to bring?
[Sheena]
[Rise was counting on making all the preparations herself, anyway. Still...]
... Oh! Any snacks you really like? You can bring something like that if you want. Totally up to you!
[Rise]
Okay. Pajamas and a pillow. Anything else?
[ She's thinking bedroll or sleeping bag because clueless. ]
Any snacks? You mean like chocolate and popcorn?
[ She has such a wonderful guide in Danny. ]
[Sheena]
Sure! That sounds perfect!
Just come over whenever you're ready, 'kay?
[Rise]
Okay! Just one more thing.
[ BIG PAUSE ]
Would you mind if I bring Bounce-ler along? He's a Spoink and well, he needs to keep bouncing in order to stay alive.
[ Besides, he's cute little pig-looking thing. ]
[Sheena]
[That is the tone of the completely clueless. Followed by about two and a half seconds of silence.]
... Oh! Is it one of those Pokémon things? Sure!
[Those are usually cute, right? She just hopes it's not easy to accidentally stop it from bouncing... but there's plenty of room, and she's sure Sheena wouldn't have suggested it if it was dangerous.]
[Rise]
Yep! That's exactly what he is! He has a pig's head and a spring attached. He can sleep, but the rest of the time, he has to bounce.
[ Sheena thinks the guy's pretty cute--except when he uses her as a bounce pad in the morning to be fed. And that's the only danger from him that she's seen. ]
[Sheena]
I had no idea you had something like that...
But I don't mind! Come on over whenever you're ready!
[Rise]
Although, I did kinda lose him once in a while when I was a pony.
[ She chuckles sheepishly. ]
He couldn't keep up with me.
[Sheena]
[You can practically hear the wink in her voice. Come over, Sheena, there's so much to be done~!]
[Rise]
You'll get to see him tonight, though!
[ Subtle, Rise! :) ]
And maybe we should change that. What do you think?
[Sheena]
We totally should! We could have more girls' nights and all that stuff!
[You've done it now, Sheena. One sleepover just isn't enough anymore.]
[Rise]
More girls' nights? You mean more sleepovers? Or something else?
[ Not that she's complaining. ]
[Sheena]
[
If this were another of Sheena's games, there might be some hidden meanings going on here...]Like, definitely more sleepovers, but Alex used to like watching movies together... ooh, and there's the hot tub, too! It's no fun doing some things alone...
[Rise]
No kidding.]Movies? Danny and I used to watch movies together! In fact, he's the one who taught me how to do what he calls "movie night." Is that what this would be?
