[Zoe, like most other people, have been spending the day struggling with the castle's new antics. It turns out that designing your room to look like a spaceship can have some problems. Particularly- gravity problems]

[When she does manage to float close to the journal, she sounds tired and very very annoyed]

Anyone know what the hell is happenin'? I know we're still planet side.

[kinky_stopwatch]

Ah welcome to Paradisa, this isn't too bad actually, it's been worse.

[someoneto_carry]

-- Thanks. But I've been here over two years.

[kinky_stopwatch]

Ah my apologies I hadn't realised the question was rhetorical. I will say though that it feels different to normal...I can't really explain it.

[someoneto_carry]

....My room has no gravity. That I can explain.

[kinky_stopwatch]

I meant more the feeling like you're being watched.

[someoneto_carry]

Oh...

Haven't gotten that yet.

Sorry Friend is staying with me so it's the first time I've been able to get online :)

[kinky_stopwatch]

Oh, well hopefully you won't come across it.

it's all good!

[someoneto_carry]

Yeah. Hope not.

[kinky_stopwatch]

It's a little like being in a living horror film.

[Chuckles]

Oh well, who needs sleep anyway?

[noblefive]

...What's the problem?

[Besides everything.]

The library seems screwed over.

[someoneto_carry]

There's no gravity where I am.

Screwed over how?

[noblefive]

There's a T-Rex made of books, the Wrestling self-help books are all trying to dog-pile people...

...And I can't find the exit. And it seems to be specific to me.

[someoneto_carry]

A T-Rex...made of books.

Well. That's a new one.

[noblefive]

Tell me about it.

...Sorry about your gravity.

[someoneto_carry]

Well after hearing about a book dinosaur, who am I to complain?

[noblefive]

I suppose the gravity of the situation is different here.

[Lets try a pun, shall we. People do that in social interactions, right?]

[someoneto_carry]

[....]

You know that was terrible, don't you?

[noblefive]

[...Yeah, he does.]

Sorry, ma'am.

[Man, this is hard.]

[someoneto_carry]

[Now she'll give an amused snort]

It's fine. Not used to joke tellin'?

[noblefive]

I guess it is that obvious, huh?

Yeah, never had much time for socialising outside of my team.

[someoneto_carry]

A little.

Team?

[noblefive]

Yeah. I've always been a member of a unit, or a team. Ever since I was a kid.

[The way he says it, he's been a soldier since he was a kid. His tone does have those clipped, professional tones.]

[someoneto_carry]

A soldier?

[noblefive]

Yes, ma'am. For as long as I can remember.

[someoneto_carry]

I see.

I get that.

[noblefive]

I didn't think military humour would have been appropriate, ma'am.

[considering the lewd content of most army/naval jokes.]

Seems I need to work on my material.

[incantati]

[ the sounds of numerous bird wings flapping in the background. ]

Ahh-- I'm afraid that the answer the that quite depends on where you are at the moment, Zoe.

[someoneto_carry]

...What's with all the flappin' Albus?

[incantati]

Ahh-- those would be the seagulls. I'm not quite sure how they got into my wardrobe, but there they were all the same, this morning.

[someoneto_carry]

Seagulls...in your wardrobe.

Just how many we talkin' here?

[incantati]

A veritable flock. Some escaped out the window, but most seem determined to stay. I haven't the heart to banish them just yet.

What seems to be the problem on your end?

[someoneto_carry]

Animal lover, huh?

No gravity.

[incantati]

Guilty.

...That is quite the predicament.

[withmymind]

[ Someone's casually floating ] Not unfamiliar.

[someoneto_carry]

[Watching that]

It is like the black.

[withmymind]

[ She may start swimming to get around later. Needless to say she's not leaving the room, it's relaxing ]

Safer. No one else there.

[someoneto_carry]

...You're enjoyin' this, aren't you?

[withmymind]

It's familiar. Reminds me of Serenity.
