01. Trying it out (Dictated)

[fishesandfights]

Is this thing on? I think this thing is on. First time I've ever talked into a book, so I'm just guessing here.

[There is the sound of the book being picked up, possibly prodded at, a page turned back and forth]

Cool, the words really do just turn up. Ok. Right, this is General Jack O'Neill speaking. How we all doing, campers? Just taking a chance on any familiar faces reading this, which is worth a shot I suppose.

Looking for weapons. Kinda need those. Also, are there any fishing ponds around? I understand I may be here for a while. And if anyone has seen a big round thing, kind of goes 'whoosh' and looks like it's filled with water? I'd appreciate you letting me now.

Right, ok. Signing off.

I am going to BURN this miserable, damned castle to the ground, as many times as it takes before it remains little more than smoldering ruins and ashes! As many times as it takes!

[And with those taken care of, one can now find Ashura sitting in the kitchen, pouring through a large sweets recipe book, seeming to focus on cakes, cupcakes, and frostings. His brow is furrowed slightly in concentration, manicured nails drumming the top of the counter as he made little notes to the side in his notebook - naturally filtered to himself, he's learned his lesson by now.]

♅ fourth

[themistress]

[It's Tuesday, Paradisa, and that means two things: the first is that The Four Seasons Room is in beach mode, and the second is that Mistress's dulcet tones are ringing through the journal. She seems genuinely pleased.]

This beach is marvelous. We don't have shores like this in my kingdom, where everything is bright and warm and pleasant. Even if one journeys to the ocean itself, the waters are rough and the beaches are rocky. Tell me, subjects, are places like this common in other worlds? Do people really live there?

Oh, and do feel free to join me here!

[Which is something you may or may not actually want. Because what does a woman whose normal attire consists of a string bikini wear to the beach?

The answer is nothing but some very artfully applied sand and shells. She has to match the room, of course.]

Chapter One

Fenris slammed Anders into the wall, lyrium aglow even as he tried to hold back his fury.

“What,” he spat out, “did you say to me, mage?”

“I said you’re just a scrawny mutt who can’t get one measly hair to even think about relocating to your chin!” Anders yelled as he tried to pry off that firm, iron grip. “I bet you don’t even own a razor!”

15 - fury of the night - action

[forbiddenfriend]

[There's a dragon in the kitchen. If you frequent the kitchen, you'll know this isn't a very uncommon sight. He's currently at the fridgerator, which he pries open with his claws. He freezes, staring at the contents.

That is a big tuna.

He reaches forward to snap it up, but it just moves farther back into the fridgerator. He snorts and shakes his head, looking disgruntled and turns away, seeming to give up, but then he pauses again, and stands very still, looking over his shoulder and wing at the fish.

Quite suddenly, the kitchen is alive with banging and metallic clanging. Toothless seems to be having quite the vicious fight with the fridge as he snaps wildly at the fish inside, trying to get at it. There's a loud BANG as the fridge hits the floor, but Toothless is undeterred, scratching and clawing and biting, pushing his feet against the ground to let him reach just a little further, and... now there's just food and water all over the place, as well as a couple shelves of the fridge on the ground, and Toothless is still trying fruitlessly to grab at the tuna that's slipping so deftly around in the fridge.

Sure is a good thing you can wish for food at your leisure, huh, residents?]

This may seem like a silly question, but, well... why do you think the castle takes so many humans and human-looking people here, compared to all the other types?

I get so many surprised looks and questions at what I am that I thought it was worth asking...

[Most of this is dictated while he's on his way out of the kitchen, with two bowls of popcorn stacked in one hand and the journal in the other. He scans the room, circumventing the stairs in favor of the most shadowy corner he can find.]

When does this snow usually let up, again? Winter is starting to get really old, really fast. I'd like to go outside without my socks getting wet for once.

thirteenth examination [ action ]

[longaevus]

[ Room 223 / James Watson ]

[ There was a lot that Helen hadn't, and wouldn't forget. This was one of those things, in some ways. Caring for a child? She had the memories, remembered her experiences and thankfully knew that each time was different - she'd had to care for and raise Ashley and Henry in very different manners. Overseeing some of the younger abnormals of her patients landed somewhat in that also. What she hadn't expected though? James himself.

She wasn't complaining, nor giving up - he was different (and it would certainly give her something to mention to him after this was over) and she hadn't quite thought as to what he may have been like. And no, Maladict, you are not right - she's just... a little out of practice ]

a haon - the blood of cu chulainn

[spiritusaequitas]

[a week and change had been more than enough time to be holed up in the clinic, as far as the MacManus brothers could figure. maybe some of the staff might disagree, but they'd been up and running sooner from worse injuries. the thing that had really held them back had been the unfamiliar territory ... but now that they felt steady and stable enough, it was time to change that.

a quick stop at the room Connor had found with their names on it was all they needed. Loading up laundry duffels with clothes from their bureaus and grabbing a few essential items from the bathroom, the twins sling their worldly possessions over their shoulders and head for the lobby]

Christ, I can't wait to get out in the fresh air...

Aye. ‘Bout fuckin’ time, too. [Connor buttons up his black pea coat and smirks at his brother. Without another word he shoves the big doors open and takes a deep breath of the crisp winter air.]

[the first deep breath pulls Murphy’s lungs tight with the cold, and he coughs as he tugs on a pair of short leather gloves] Arright, let’s see what we got here.... [he shuffles down the front steps and turns to face the castle, backing up as he tilts his head back to have a look, before turning back around to survey the road] Doesn’ look like it’s too far down. Walked farther’n’ that to the plant, I’d figure.

[Connor whistles as he looked up at the castle. Sure he’s walked around inside it, but it was different seeing the outside of the thing. Shaking his head, he strides down the steps and smacks Murphy in the arm] Shouldn’t take us too long, even with you hoppin’ along on one foot, now. [He cracks up and starts off before his brother can hit him]

You’ll see how good my foot is now when I kick you in the fuckin’ face with it! [laughing, he runs after his brother - only limping slightly, to House and Carson’s credit!]

((OOC: OPEN POST! Feel free to run into the boys just about anywhere you please - on their way to the lobby, out on the road, or in the town proper! … Orange has been Murph and green has been Connor. This post has been brought to you by Ireland.))

I have been told you run one of the safe zones here. Would it be possible to arrange a meeting so as to see it?

Are you occupied?

[ Mycroft Holmes]

I contacted one of the doctors. [ And she includes a transcript of the pertinent information in this thread. ]

28 Blueprints -- Dictated

[teds_out]

[This page is pretty quiet for awhile. There’s the background sound of a TV playing a movie, or what sounds like the ending credits at least. There’s the decisive sound of footsteps in the background, and a little closer to the journal, a light shifting of cloth against skin and the leather of the couch. And then there’s Ted’s voice.]

Hey, where are you going?

[there’s the squeak of rubber against the floor - which would be someone skidding to a dead halt. and that someone would be Barney Stinson.]

To the bathroom, Ted. Oh. My. GOD. [he paused for a second. anyone listening in might’ve even heard the brief intake of breath on Ted’s part - but Barney wouldn’t even let him get there.] It’s been. A. Week. Every day, I have hung around with you. Yeah, okay, the Star Wars marathon was cool until you decided to tack on the prequels for more couch time. And yeah, I’m not gonna fault you for the Elizabeth Hurley marathon - because hello ladies. But - correct me if I’m wrong, Ted. We went through every single Mario game ever this week, and I played Paper Mario with you, okay. Paper. Mario. A man has got to draw the line somewhere, Ted.

So yes, I am going to the bathroom. And when I come back out, I am going to get another beer so I can refill my bladder, and then you are going to tell me what the heck your deal is, Mosby.

Hey, Paper Mario was cool, okay? Just because it wasn’t as good... as decent... as... anyway, what do you mean, what the heck my deal is? In case you’ve forgotten, Barney, we’re best bros. And best bros do stuff with their best bros. [He makes a ‘DUH’ face at the other man.]

Bathroom, Ted. [and that’s all he gets before Barney shuts the door behind him and leaves him the better part of a minute to sort through his thoughts]

God. [Ted makes a face at the door, then looks down at the journal. Huh, it recorded all this? He’s not surprised, and takes full advantage of it.] You guys heard that, right? Seriously, is he PMSing or something?

( Not ICly cut! )

((Blue is Ted, Purple is Barney! Have at 'em, guys.

P.S. you should make fun of Barney for refilling his bladder.))
