[nooooo]

[April woke up three hours ago, and she has no idea what's going on.

Okay, so that's not 100% true. She's explored her room and scanned the journal, so she has an extremely basic idea (sitting in what looks like a really fancy hotel room, in possession of a weird communal journal that doesn't seem to obey the laws of physics, something big involving a lion happened a few days ago), but beyond that? Absolutely no clue.

Right now, the journal is the most interesting thing. It's definitely the most unusual, and so she figures that if she wants her other questions answered, it's her best bet.

Especially because it seems like people are using it to communicate. Somehow.

First she has to test it out, though. She could introduce herself to everyone, or write an impassioned plea for information, or start screaming her head off about having been kidnapped. But... nah. Instead, she'll do this:]



[OOC: If you want your character to play tic-tac-toe with her, just save the image to your computer and draw in their O! Or, if you can't/don't want to do that, you can tell me which spot their put their O in and I'll fill it in myself.]

Slow day.

I don't even know where this is. Like, I'd probably be freaking out right now if I didn't think this was some weird fever dream.

[The next move comes slower. Dammit, he's terrible at the welcome thing.... Stalling...

Right. What else could it be?

[dictated + written]

[nooooo]

Well, I don't know. You could... tell me.

[Does he have to be that guy now... Is that what they've come to...

... Reluctantly but oh so casual--]

It could also be an evil castle that feeds on your soul.

[nooooo]

I guess that's the next logical conclusion I should draw.

[aka, what the fuck.]

[People wonder why he isn't direct; it's because it sounds like that.

He draws a line, clearly the more important thing here.]

Sometimes you have to resort to creating a distraction.

[dictated]

[nooooo]

Ugh, lame. I was to focused on your weirdness to pay attention.

[dictated]

[gottaknockhard]

We'll call it a tie.

[dictated]

[nooooo]

Okay, fine. Now are you gonna tell me something believable?

[dictated]

[gottaknockhard]

Like what?

[dictated]

[nooooo]

I don't know, like anything but the thing you just said.

[dictated]

[gottaknockhard]

[He could, but not knowing is as good as it gets. The least he can do is let her enjoy it for a minute.]

I kind of liked your theory.

[dictated]

[nooooo]

But I don't have a fever. And I don't do drugs. And my boyfriend's boyfriend watched my drink last night so I'm like... seventy-five percent sure I didn't get dosed.

[dictated]

[gottaknockhard]

[Boyfriend's boyfriend... Must be a kid.]

In that case, you're out of luck.

[dictated]

[nooooo]

... Okay. Then try the shitty one again and maybe it'll sound better the second time around.

[dictated]

[gottaknockhard]

It never really does.

[dictated]

[nooooo]

Try anyway. Reach for the stars.

[dictated]

[gottaknockhard]

Well, it is a castle.

[dictated]

[nooooo]

It looks like a hotel.

[dictated]

[gottaknockhard]

A castle with a hotel theme.

[dictated]

[nooooo]

And... computer books.

[dictated]

[gottaknockhard]

It's a lot to take in.

[dictated]

[nooooo]

Have I or have I not been kidnapped by a sex deviant?

[dictated]

[gottaknockhard]

[He should answer with an automatic 'no' but she caught him off guard.]

In the scheme of things, that does soften the blow.
