It's storytime, Paradisa. I want to hear about history's best and worse widespread losses. Some amount of detail is good, but don't monologue at me, or I'm shutting the journal. Give the new girl more of an idea of what to expect, because so far, I'll I've seen is mildly annoying. Are the all-expenses-paid trips to major world cities the exception instead of the rule, or what?

Trips to real cities are part of this place?

[ fellow new girl right here. unite! ]

[wantsiceland]

That's what I've heard. If it wasn't true, then this place is getting a bad review on their checkout comment card.

[scoring]

I sure hope so...it's one of the few positive things I've heard.

[wantsiceland]

Tell me about it. It sure beats a forced ice palace.

[scoring]

I'm sure. That just sounds a little uncomfortable.

[ Does she want to know?

...yes, actually. That sounds sick as hell. ]

Was that back home, or here?

[wantsiceland]

Here. No one's really succeeded in freezing the whole world back home.

[scoring]

I'd hope not. I can't believe I missed something like that!

[wantsiceland]

Consider yourself lucky, kid. It was not fun times.

[scoring]

It doesn't sound like it. Can I ask how that happened? I'm, um...sort of new here.

[wantsiceland]

You're gonna be hard-pressed to find anyone who knows that. General consensus seems to be "it happens, get used to it, and deal with it".

[scoring]

Not very helpful, are they?

[wantsiceland]

I get the feeling people get tired of rehashing the same things with every new person that shows up. Which is great for them. Not so much for us.

[scoring]

Exactly. I think I just got a link to an introductory article, myself. We'll just have to back one another up as new people, miss--

Oh! I'm sorry. I'm Yukiko.

[Alters his handwriting so it no longer resembles his normal handwriting.]

Does not being able to know if major parts of are real or not count as more than mildly annoying?

Written.

[wantsiceland]

Details.

Written.

[dorkwonder]

The memory altered several of my memories. I discovered the truth through some people here. However, that doesn't change the false memories in my head. I don't know if my reaction to certain events are the way I really reacted or part of my false memories. I can only learn so much from others.

Written.

[wantsiceland]

Right. The permanent losses.

[those are really, really creepy-- and the fact that she still doesn't know what hers is, in her opinion, an indicator that it's a memory or something similar]

I already know about them. Next!

Written.

[dorkwonder]

And here I was about to connect you wish a useful resource.

Written.

[wantsiceland]

Is that so.

I'm listening.

Written.

[dorkwonder]

Someone already asked your question and a lot more useful ones over here.

Written.

[wantsiceland]

Her, huh.

[and what a perfect set of questions, too-- this girl reminds her more and more of Kim Possible every time she hears about her]

Noted.

Written.

[dorkwonder]

What about her?

Written.

[wantsiceland]

Nothing.

Written.

[dorkwonder]

It's obviously something.

Written.

[wantsiceland]

Not really! I recognized the handwriting, that's all. I think I've seen her around.

Written.

[dorkwonder]

There's only a population of around two hundred people here, it doesn't take long to figure out who most people are. [Especially when you are someone who doesn't find it strange to spy on people while wearing a cape.]

Written.

[wantsiceland]

Well there you go. Nothing unordinary here.

Written.

[dorkwonder]

Recognizing someone and making note of him or her are two entirely different things.

Written.

[wantsiceland]

Okay, why do you care?

Written.

[dorkwonder]

Mostly curiosity. [And being an overly protective friend.]

Written.

[wantsiceland]

This is a lot of curiosity over a "her, huh".

Written.

[dorkwonder]

What can I say? I'm a curious guy. Speaking of which, I don't think I've caught your name yet.

Written.

[wantsiceland]

What a coincidence, I don't know yours either.

Written.

[dorkwonder]

Neither one of is very good at introductions, huh?

Written.

[wantsiceland]

I'm fine at introductions. Just feeling like it's a little bit of a competition, now.

Written

[jimfromit]

Has anybody told you about the time we saw into each others nightmares?

Now that was a lot of laughs.

JM

Written

[wantsiceland]

No, I haven't heard about that massive invasion of privacy. When was that?

Written

[jimfromit]

Not much to say really...happened a month or so before you arrived.

Everybody fell asleep and gained the ability to hop in and out of other peoples dreams.

It made for quite the sight-seeing tour...seeing everybody’s deepest darkest fears.

I'm getting Goosebumps just thinking about it again.

Written

[wantsiceland]

This place doesn't repeat, does it?

Written

[jimfromit]

Occasionally.

Apparently the baby event was a repeated one.

Written

[wantsiceland]

The what.

Written

[jimfromit]

Oh people were given children to look after for a week.

Wow they really have kept you in the dark on the castles history...how un-neighbourly!

Written

[wantsiceland]

And what about those of us who aren't parentally inclined?

Written

[jimfromit]

Honey I don't think the castle really cares who is or who isn't.

I think it just does most things for the lulz...as the kids say.

Written

[wantsiceland]

Don't call me honey.

Are free full-time nannies part of the package?

Written

[jimfromit]

Sorry sweetie.

I don't know...maybe?

I was too busy laughing at other peoples misfortunes to pay too much attention to detail.
