[Dictated]

[Carson's staring at his blank journal. Yes, he's very suspicious, but just addresses the castle as a whole]

Because there's no way that I trust this bloody place, I just want to make sure that everyone's okay.

No-one's hurt or anything?

Comments

[atadiscoverer]

Aye, that's a wee bit of information I've never heard before..

You're right. This could change all we know about how the castle works.

[longaevus]

Perhaps not all but certainly it gives us something new, unless this is also a new development.

[atadiscoverer]

Just when you think you've heard it all...

[longaevus]

The castle has always found ways of surprising us.

[atadiscoverer]

Aye, I can see.

[longaevus]

Have you heard much about the past events? Not the expeditions or anything that the residents have done but things that the castle has done.

[atadiscoverer]

Some reports. Nothing much. It's why I'm suspicious.

[longaevus]

Those that have been here the longest can tell you the most. Much of what I have experienced could be considered minor in comparison.

[atadiscoverer]

So, I take it Paris is just a wee holiday, aye?

[longaevus]

There have been times in the past when Paradisa has been something other than a castle, events that I have not experienced but have heard of.

I believe that pirates were involved at one point.

[atadiscoverer]

Pirates?

[longaevus]

It is what I have heard mentioned.

[atadiscoverer]

This place just gets weirder.

[longaevus]

I doubt that it stretches farther than the imagination can.

[atadiscoverer]

But how far can an imagination go?

[longaevus]

Very far.

[atadiscoverer]

Aye, this is what worries me.

[longaevus]

Then perhaps the bigger worry could be what we could create?

[atadiscoverer]

Or what the castle can create with us.

[longaevus]

Precisely why we should worry about our own minds.

[atadiscoverer]

I've seen a few traumatising things.

[Carson doesn't want to think about what the castle could do with memories of the Wraith]

[longaevus]

Sadly a lot here have.

[ She'd already been here once believing that Jack the Ripper was behind it ]

[atadiscoverer]

Maybe that's the critera for our choosing?

[longaevus]

Not all have mentioned such troubles.

[atadiscoverer]

So the selection process seems completely random?
