paradisa

[Dictated]

Hi everyone! Since the journals all got a clean out, I think it's time we make a good guide for all the newcomers to help clear things up! And since I'm a charitable guy with a lot of time on my hands, I went ahead and did it!

THE ~~NEWGUY'S~~ NEWCOMER'S GUIDE TO PARADISA!
by the great Professor Zelos Wilder!

1. Welcome to Paradisa! It's a magic castle in a magic world away from yours! You got kidnapped here and you're stuck until the castle takes you home or we find a way out ourselves!

2. Yes magic and sentient castles exist, for you skeptics out there. You get used to it!

3. Everyone is supposed to get a loss! It can be a memory, item or ability! Though I haven't found my loss yet so it's possible that some of us are just too amazing to get one heh heh heh.

4. The castle can give you most things you wish for! Though that doesn't include weapons or giant things or people. We're still working on if it's has biases in stuff like the best bread ever!

5. That room you probably woke up in? Is your room during your stay! If you didn't wake up in a room, look on the doors for a nameplate!

6. The kitchen is on the first floor! Though you can ask the ghost servants for food so I'm still not sure why you'd go all the way down there to get food, but there you go! The clinic's on the second floor! And there's a library...somewhere!

7. Sometimes the castle does crazy stuff! If a person is acting really weird, it's called a loss! I couldn't tell you why it's called that and I think it's really confusing, but when you're in Paradisa you do as Paradisans do! If we go to a different place, that's a world change!

8. No one really knows what we're doing here or why we were picked or why people show up when they do, but I'm sure there's theories abound. I think personally the castle has good tastes- there are a lot of pretty looking people here!

9. Death only lasts two weeks here, but I haven't seen it for myself yet. Kiiinda hoping it doesn't happen that often that I'd have to put it to the test.

10. When you get sent home, your memories get wiped! So don't be surprised if you show up here and there's some beautiful hunny demanding where you've been. Just count yourself lucky that some darling lady has missed you so! Unless of course, her way of missing you is to be violent when you show up again. Also, time works kinda funny here so don't be surprised if your buddy is from the future or the past. It happens!

Well...that's all I can think of so far and ten is a nice number to leave off! But if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask~!

[OOC: I'm...so sorry okay. SO SORRY]

[...he sighs. This multi world thing is getting to be a worse pain than the whole Sylvarant thing]

Beasts that are bigger, stronger and sometimes smarter than regular animals - but they aren't sentient like humans, elves or half-elves. Most are aggressive and attack travelers or small towns.

.. that sounds like something out of a scary story, Zelos. Your world is really like that?

Yeah, but they aren't the worst thing in the world. You just learn how to fight or find someone to guard you, if you wanna go anywhere.

.. that still sounds awful. I mean, sure, we have to look out for angry mooselions, but..

[Man you're already depressed about my world? And that's the NORMAL part to him]

Huh? You really don't have monsters then?

Edited 2012-01-20 04:27 (UTC)

Nooo, just animals. Did you really think I was lying?

[Your life story would make her ALL THE SADS, Zelos.]

What? No, it's not that.

Monsters are normal to me, we've always had them. So to imagine another world without them is weird and takes some getting used to.

.. I wish we could visit each others' worlds. I mean - not just yours, specifically. But so many of them sound so interesting.

Yeah, that'd be cool! Though mine is nothing to behold, really.

[As in DON'T. GO. ]

It sounds a lot different than mine. Just because it's boring to you doesn't mean it'd be that way for everyone, you know.

Boring's not really what I meant.

Before I got brought here? I was doing what I can to make sure war didn't break out between two people who hadn't seen each other in a long time...things are a bit unstable right now. [Weirdly what happens when you merge two worlds into one go figure]

Oh.

[Katara's voice is soft, suddenly sympathetic.]

.. I understand. My war was at world for a century, and my brother and I were doing our best to help and protect the one person who could stop all of it.

[...]

The one person who could stop an entire war...?

It's... kind of a long story. D'you wanna come up to my room? I'll make tea.

[He's tempted to say no, since maybe the less he knows the better. But he's curious, about a lot of the implications]

[So, very cheerfully]

Who would I be to turn down the beautiful Ice Princess for tea~?

It's really okay to call me Katara, you know. [But she's smiling.] See you in a minute?

No way! I'm much too attached to Ice Princess! ♥

Sure! What's your room?

1707. It's the Ortus Tower.

Should've known. [Beautiful princess in a tower, but he'll save that cheese to himself] I'll be there soon.

[And a few minutes later, there's going to be a knock on your door]

[Probably best that you did. She might have stepped on your foot for that one, Zelos.]

Come on in!

[The door's unlocked and leads to a room that is.. surprisingly spartan. A bed, dresser and mirror with what looks like a little shrine next to it. There's a kitchenette in the corner, and that's where she's making her tea, but the room otherwise seems devoid of personal affects.]

[He walks in, looking around. Wow Katara, pretty poor looking and even his room looks more personal than this and he only changed the color scheme]

Yo~

[Katara won't allow herself to fall into the trap of thinking of Paradisa as home. She can't afford to - it'd be too depressing.]

Hey! The tea's almost done -- there are a couple of chairs at the table here.

Great!

[He heads over to the chairs, slumping down into one]

So one person who could stop a war, and asking about them gets me invited for tea. That important, huh?

There are benders in my world. You've seen my waterbending. But there are the water tribes, the fire nation, the earth kingdom -- and there used to be the air nomads. One person in the whole world, the Avatar, is able to master all four elements.

Follow so far?

[She smiles at him, sliding him a cup of tea.]

[He takes the cup, his expression pretty calm]

Yeah, I'm following.
