paradisa | ❀ Episode 07 ❀ [Dictated] - backdated to March 24th, late evening

Ugh, I swear, I'm not going anywhere near that movie theater again for a long time!

[Let's just get that statement out of the way before launching into the real subject of this entry in Rise's journal.]

Anyway, hi again~! Did everyone miss me? I was kinda freaking out for a while there, but now that I'm back in my room with my comfy bed and eating real food again, I'm feeling much better!

[Now for the reason she's addressing everyone in the castle...]

So now that that's over, I have a question for all you guys and girls! I've seen some theaters and clubs out in the city, but is there any place in the castle to put on a live show? I'd really like to keep working as an idol if I can, and I might ask around out in the city if anyone's open to hiring new acts, but it'd be really nice to do something for everyone here too. I've even been practicing some new routines lately, and I'd hate for all that work to go to waste!

Hope you all have some answers, and maybe I'll come see you all soon? ♥

[Ordinarily, this would be where Rise leaves the journal open for responses or closes it for a break, but today she has some filters to put up...]

[Nora Diniro, Ino, Chell, Alex, Colette Brunel, Asuna Yuuki, Sophie, Aradia Megido, Chie Satonaka, Yukiko Amagi, Jennifer Keller]

[Whoo, that was a lot of filters at once! Now, it's time for the announcement!]

Hey everyone! If you're seeing this filter, that means you're invited to Rise and Nora's Giant Pillow Sleepover!!!

I've got this huuuuge pillow left over from when the castle turned me back from a fairy, and it's super comfy, with plenty of room for everyone! We've been planning this since last month, too, so I think we should do it as soon as possible. So how does this weekend sound? Either Friday or Saturday, I'm flexible!

The theme of the party is comfy PJ's and dumb comedy movies! The dumb comedies thing was Nora's idea... I think I've had enough movies for a while after last week. But I don't wanna be fussy or anything, so let's go for it anyway!

I hope you all can make it! And let me know if you have any questions or ideas to make this sleepover even better!

[Filter to Jennifer Keller only]

Jennifer-san? I know you're a little older than the rest of us, but you're still welcome if you want to come!

I hope you don't think this is too silly or anything... I just thought a sleepover would be a good way to meet some new people and have some fun!

[She can't think of anything else to say, so she just ends it there. But she really hopes it's a good idea...]

[Filtered away from Chie Satonaka and Yukiko Amagi]

[Now Rise's perky act is completely drained away. There's something serious she needs to discuss with the castle.]

I think... I think Yukiko-chan is gone.

[There's silence for a moment. Rise sounds like she's trying to keep herself calm.]

Does anyone know what happened? Between me and her, I mean. It's...

[She scoffs.]

No, it's stupid. I know it was the stupid castle messing with us, but-

[Her voice cuts off here. But anyone who listens for a few minutes longer will hear the last bit of this entry.]

Just... if anyone knows Yukiko Amagi, have you seen her? She's not answering my filters, and I'd really hate to be right about this.

And don't tell Chie about any of this! I don't want her to know about...

[... that thing she's definitely not going to talk about in such a general filter. If anyone's expecting any clarification on that, they're not getting it.]

Threaded | Top-Level Comments Only

[Don't worry, Rise. He's not here to be a pain in the ass. Especially not after that theater nonsense. There's no snark or anything in his tone and he'll just filter the whole thing so he doesn't have to mess with it.]

You might be able to arrange something with the Lux or in that music room on the third floor, I would imagine.

[Then he'll get onto the filtered point.]

You been by that girl's room? I assume that nameplate would be gone if she was.

I've never been to a sleepover before. It sounds like fun!

Well what the fuck, did everyone I know get themselves trapped in the theater for a week?!

[a pause and then more calmly.]

You alright?

I'll help you with the concert stuff, Rise-chan! I learned a thing or two with arranging stuff when I helped out Yosuke and Teddie in Junes once.

And I'm super excited for that sleepover, it would be like that time in Port Island! Minus the spinning bed of course... That place was a little weird.

[She cringes]

We can always do something other than the stupid movies...

[Why hello there, Rise! Have an excited message appearing in your journal...]

I'll be there! YES! What's a sleepover? I know what PJs are but I've never been to a sleepover.

[Excited Chell? Yup. She's excited.]

... I'd definitely be okay with that.

[She lets some of the disgust she was hiding earlier out in that statement. She just didn't want to be a party pooper for everyone else, really.]

[Believe it or not, Rise's actually kind of fond of Pixy when he's not being a jerk. So she doesn't even mind him responding to this.]

Ooh, that's a great idea! I haven't been to the music room yet!

[She actually kind of assumed it was like the music room at school, so more centered around bands and orchestra type things. But in this place, who can really tell?

She goes quiet for a moment at the mention of Yukiko's nameplate, though.]

I haven't been to Yukiko-chan's room, either...

[She's afraid to. The moment she goes up there and sees a blank nameplate, it's real. She's really gone. Rise's not sure she can take that yet...]

It so will be with all you guys here!

[Yep, Rise's super excited that Sophie seems interested!]

[It's almost a shame that 'jerk' is generally his natural state of mind.]

I daresay I'm almost surprised by that. Seems like something you would have been all over on day one.

[He's quietly thinking that the Lux thing would be a better idea if only for the fact she could draw people in with food and the bar, but hey, it's her show.

He's quiet a moment while considering something. It's her problem, but even he has to admit 'moping' should not be a state Rise should be in.]

I'd offer to swing by and tell you the result when you want to know, but it's hardly any of my business.

[Even if he talked to her at one point, but hey, he never caught her name, so he doesn't even know. Still, it's not his business, but he'd do it if she asked.]

Does everyone sleep on the same pillow?

Not at every sleepover, but at this one we do!

[Of course, Sophie hasn't seen her pillow...]

It really is huge, though! It'll be just like sleeping on one giant bed.

Wow. What else do you do?

[Rise guesses this is one of the girls Nora was inviting, so it's either Alex or Chell! Either way, one confirmed, one to go!]

It's exactly what it sounds like! A bunch of girls come to visit and stay the night and we hang out and do fun things together until we finally go to sleep!

[... If they go to sleep. That's sort of the unspoken truth of all sleepovers.]

I don't find it to be silly, no. I appreciate the invitation, actually... I just hope the others don't mind hanging out with a grownup.

Yeah, totally! I mean, as long as we don't get locked in anywhere this time.

[She may have seen enough movies for a whole lifetime, after last week. But hey - she hasn't been invited to a sleepover in, like, forever. Maybe it could be fun. She doesn't know Rise too well, but if Nora's involved in the planning it should be right up her alley.]

[GUESS WHO ELSE YOU FORGOT TO EXCLUDE FROM THAT FILTER RISE]

Amagi is one of those the castle seems to have a revolving door for. She came and went this quickly around this same time last year too.

If she's not answering any filters then she probably really is gone. Or turned into a llama. I doubt it's because she's... I don't know, upset or anything. [he assumes this thing that happened between them was probably a fight or something lmao] Do you know about the door nameplate thing yet?

Edited 2013-03-28 01:57 (UTC)

Whatever we feel like doing! We could play games or tell stories or dress up or watch silly movies!

[Then, suddenly in a less perky, more even tone...]

... Actually, I think we're canceling the silly movies. I've definitely had enough after last week.

[It's okay, Church, she knows you're an ass because you care. ♥]

Much better now, yeah! Once I had a bath [or three] and relaxed for a couple of days...

[She's still working through the disgusting feeling and intricate physical issues of having consumed way too much junk food for a week, but she's not about to openly talk about that.]

I like playing games.

[Lies and deceit!]

Well next time bring a goddamn watch or something.

[Ok, maybe just a little... but he admits nothing.]

Yeah... maybe we could figure out what everyone wants to do when we get there.

[That'd probably be the best option.]

Ooh, we could take suggestions!

[Not that they need specific activities or anything to enjoy spending time with friends. Whatever they end up doing, Rise's absolutely sure it'll be fun.]

I just hope it's really fun for Sophie-chan and everyone.

["Everyone" actually being shorthand for "all these girls telling me they've never been to a sleepover before".]

Ugh, I don't even wanna think about a "next time"...

[She does actually make a mental note to set an alarm on her otherwise mostly-useless cell phone or something if she ever does go to the theater from now on, though. Because seriously. Never again.]

Yeah? Do you have any favorites?

[Rise's all for anything that gives them excuses not to watch more movies. And she's naturally curious if Sophie knows any interesting games that she doesn't.]
