noblefive[There's a figure sitting against one of the trees outside of the castle, relaxing. He has his helmet off, it resting off to one side, sitting with his eyes closed in the snow. His journal is open in his lap.
There's the sound of rustling, crunching snow, of something very small moving about. Jorge opens his eyes, looking about.]
Hello?
[No answer. More rustling. And then, something jumps out of a nearby bush.]
Piplup!
[Jorge stares at the little penguin-y thing as it hops closer and stares up at the SPARTAN. He turns to his journal.]
Uh. Has anyone lost a... Penguin?
Piplup?

Jan. 16th, 2012 08:48 amheloiseWould you leave the Castle now, if you could?
Friday was unfortunate. But for most of the year, surely it has given us a comfortable home and the most singular of friends.
And so, as for myself, I would not. I should like to tarry here a little longer, if only to relish the taste of liberty and the fruits of invention. Refrigerators are so magnificent!
[ With that, she will be in the kitchen with the fridge door open, sticking her hands into it with glee. ]

In case anyone was wondering... I did make back-ups of all the information I'd gathered before, just in case the castle decided to play shenanigans. For all the new people who are going to be arriving, I'm going to copy my old report into this one, but I'd like to update it beforehand.
Which is where all of you come in. I'm trying to gather information on changes that have happened - between the journals, and the fact that some people are apparently coming back memories intact now.
Also, I was out of commission on the expedition that led to the other castle ruins, but I've been trying to pick up what I can out of the journals. There's that bizarre letter for one, but did I miss anything else important?
[Jr. & Rin ]
Smallville said you two might have some specific info on that, so I thought I'd hit you up for the scoop.
[The Doctors (of the non-medical variety)]
Are the rumors right about you maybe heading back to the castle sometime soon? Because if you think I'm not coming along this time, you're nuttier than Eleven's bowtie.

[ And in today’s news, with her chin in a hand and journal in her lap, one might find Uru in the laundry room of the castle. She’s sitting on top of one of the unused machines while the one beside it is running a cycle with her clothes inside. She’s also got goggles hanging around her neck, and for anyone who might see them and knew her, will recognize these as Serenity’s. The machinery’s soft whirring noises can be heard over the journals as she opens up her new one (it’s bizarre to have an almost totally blank one) to talk into it. ]
Friday was so creepy! Does anyone know why it happened? Geez, because the sun didn’t come up I nearly got late for opening. I thought that kind of stuff only happened in the Arctic. [ OH GOSH, SUDDEN REVELATION?! ] Does this mean Paradisa’s all the way north?
I heard people talking about other weird things happening but... did it happen to everyone? [ Suddenly she sound sheepish and kinda uncertain. ] Well, at work I fell off the ladder but someone caught me below! Lucky, huh? But my head’s hard so it wouldn’t have hurt too much. [ ... ] Is this going to happen again in April?
[ ooc: she wasn’t affected by bad luck shenanigans thanks to Nancy’s protection charm from last year. B) ♥ open in person or through the journal, obviously! ]

[ In the kitchens there is a pint-sized kid attempting to make herself a cup of coffee, her journal on the counter beside her. Seeing as she's a little too short to reach it on her own she's currently standing on a stool and reaching for a mug.
Because this is as about as social as she is ever going to be. ]

Jan. 16th, 2012 09:21 pmdisciplines( To anyone receiving a Christmas gift from Alleyne )
[And with that sap done, she'll finally be given the gifts she's owed, by others and the castle itself. They were waiting for her until she had given out herself, and she's quite overwhelmed by everyone's kindness. What she wasn't expecting though, even after hearing of others receiving things from back home, was to see a familiar pink face scurrying about her room this day.
She hoists him up on her shoulders and takes him out to the lobby, feeding him bits of fruit and dictating into the journal.]
Seems the castle didn't forget a gift for me after all. Everyone, I'd like you to come to the lobby and meet an old friend of mine form back home. I'll be on the lobby. Oh, and bring small bits of food, if you would.
[When you show up, a small, pink monkey will be on her shoulder, being as adorable as possible. He'll wave at you when you come by, but will otherwise cling to Alleyne's braid and eat happily.]
[ooc: Whatever Alleyne gave you on this meme feel free to react to getting now! If you gave her something, it's been received. The castle's gift to her is her pet monkey, Ruu.]

onlyanapple[Behind the doors leading into the kitchen, ballroom, and dining room today are a secret surprise. Mostly air horns duct taped to the walls, so when the doors are opened, the horn will BLARE LOUDLY.
It turns out Crowley is a touch more upset about Jilly leaving than he's let on, and so is making everyone else suffer for of it. He might be hanging around the crime scenes, too. With earplugs in.
Just waiting for someone to accidentally trip his trap]
[[ooc: Open as an open thing, set off the horns, manage to avoid them, do whatever you wish!]]

doublethefun[despite the cold, there's a pony sitting on the roof tonight. A book describing a few of Paradisa's constellations lies open next to her as she peers at the night sky with a rather critical eye. The journal lies discarded on her other side as she sets the quill and ink next to a few pages ripped from the journal.]
Even the stars are different. [it's definitely not her night sky. A quiet sigh.]
What an odd world.
[heavenly bodies moving about by themselves? Simply unheard of.
Then there's just the sound of quill on paper as she gazes at the stars slowly wheeling above her.
And if anypony bothers looking out tonight? The stars seem to be shining just a bit more brightly than usual - just because she can.]

98.1 - decade on the dial - [broadcast!]
Jan. 16th, 2012 10:00 pmhard_talker[the first few bars of "Everybody Knows" drift over the castle radios - if anyone has them on, they'll hear it ... and anyone listening to it with their journal open will consequently broadcast it to everyone else, too. so, no matter what the media, Mark will be projecting his voice to just about every room in the castle, as usual]
Soooo, Friday was a fun little clusterfuck, wasn't it? Bla bla bla yadda yadda whatever, we all got the jitters. But we're still alive, and nothin' came out from under the bed or inside the closet to eat us alive, so I'm gonna go ahead and call it a win. Nice try, Castle Wonderfuck. All you really did was give our newbies Alphonse, Vergil, and Miles a decent initiation. Better to see just what the fuck this place can do right off the bat, so you can start fightin' it, that's what I say.
In other, more important news, Lois Lane and James Watson are still lookin' for info from the last expedition, or anythin' weird that people might've seen around here or in Paris. If you've got a nice juicy anecdote, drop it on 'em and tell 'em Hard Harry sent you!
I haven't heard anyone usin' their nice new radios, yet -- anyone need a crash course in the fine art of the DJ? I could probably throw somethin' together in the ballroom one've these days. Maybe next week I'll do an open broadcast from down there, and anyone who wants to try it out can drop in and throw some music on, say somethin', read a poem, give out some info, whatever. We can make a thing out of it. I know you're out there. I can hear you bitching... and some of you were even goin' on about how shitty some of the music we've got around here is. Well, as a public service, I, Hard Harry, am here to tell you this, with certainty and all the musical knowledge at my disposal:
It. Gets. Worse.
I dunno how many of you from Earth lived through a little decade called the 90s, but lemme tell you, when I was catchin' up on everything this place has to offer in terms of tunes, I went by decade, and I found some reeeeeeeeal STINK BOMBS. I know, I know - I can hear you all right now: "TASTE IS RELATIVE, DUMBASS".
So, for all you relatives, I invite you to judge for yourselves. Ennnnnnnnnnnnnjoy.
[and with that, he'll start playing every. single. song on this list. and all the songs in the comments below it, too. you are so very welcome.]
