Well, well, this has been an interesting few days, hasn't it? All that chaos and embarrassment, and I didn't even have to lift a finger. Sometimes I think this castle is after my job. I'm not sure if I should feel flattered or threatened.

Anyway, for those of you idiots who haven't caught on yet, the journals are broken. But if you feel you really must pour all your thoughts and feelings into a magical book that is connected to the magical thought that kidnapped you, then go right ahead. Honestly, it's like being surprised that the rabid dog has bitten you.

[It hasn't stopped him writing all the little secrets in a notebook, though. Never know when they might come in handy]

Still. Thanks for the entertaining week, Paradisa. You've all been great.

Incidentally, as I promised I would, the answer to my riddle: The couple hear of the deadly scorpions that lived in the area, and put a glass of vodka under each foot of their child's crib. Scorpions don't like alcohol as they have no class.

I don't think even the goddess of the rainbow has a book with rainbows on it.

Really? I would have thought she'd be just the type.

Not the one I've met. But I think all the gods in my world are a little weird. Comes with being in America so long, I guess.

I imagine that would make anyone a little weird in the head after a while.

If any of them show up, I'll be sure to point them your way.

Please do, I'd like to take them drinking. You know, to ease the pain.

That's both a very frightening and kind of funny image.

I'm sure I could...entertain them for you for a while.

[waterproofed]

I'm sure you could.
