[To anyone out or looking out in the general south-west corner of the castle grounds this fine Valentine's morning, there is a rather unusual sight. It starts as a flash way up in the sky (just within the skyward power barrier, incidentally), that gets bigger and bigger until BAM there is a fully armored Spartan in a crater. And wit a piff a journal appears nearby.]

[The Spartan is still, but within a fraction of a moment her on-board AI has already (simultaneously) assessed her life-signs, run armor diagnostics, and ascertained that the journal was some kind of strange communication device. To anyone watching, his holographic projection blips on as a floating blue featureless cube.]

Testing, testing, ah good, just as I predicted. he-hem. Good peoples of unnamed location with the rather archaic architecture, I have more then a few questions that need to be answered. The quiker the better; I'd like to have an explanation at the ready when my companion comes to.

{{ →!Written }}

So, I write in this thing and you can all see it, is that how it works? Pretty impressive. Anyway, I'm Hattori Heiji- or Heiji Hattori if you go given to surname. I'm also a detective so after I've gotten to know my way around here a little better I'll be happy to help anyone that needs it. Don't let my age fool you, I've solved over a thousand cases.

Introductions aside, I've heard from a very reliable source there are a few more detectives about. Mind introducing yourselves? I like to know who I'm working with and against.

{{ →!Action }}

[ To Anyone wandering the castle you might find the Osakan detective making mental notes about where everything is incase he ever needs to get there in a hurry. He's even wrapping on walls to check for secret passages. Feel free to say hello! He's a pretty friendly guy after all. ]




(( OOC: In anything written you will NOT see Heiji's accent as it is written and not spoken. ))

[if you're in the lobby today, you might spot a white haired child wandering around. he looks lost and a little scared - which may or may no be telltale signs of a newcomer to Paradisa - and eventually sits down on one of the couches, rubbing his eyes. he felt like crying.]

Where am I…? I want to go home...

[though in all honestly, he really didn't.]


[ooc: Loss on and open in the lobby]

[arealwoman]

You'd be surprised the kinds of things that you miss, even the bad ones. [ pause ] Okay, not all of them but a few. 

It makes you think, though, having this time. Think and regret. That's not really a nice feeling.  I suppose it helps when you know how to communicate to people. 

[ She's possibly picked a bad day to think and talk about it all, especially after the past few days, but the day is part of the reason why. Happy Valentines indeed. She pauses for a moment before speaking again ]

I guess that two weeks is all the settling in time that you get around here. It makes me want to get out even more, even if I will get dragged back in.

[ Stuart / Private ]
I wouldn't have done it, I was just afraid. 

And I miss you. 

[ James Watson ]
Thank you.

[dictated!]

Well, that was a pain in the ass. If I really wanted to lock myself in a room for three days with someone else and a pair of handcuffs, I'd do it myself, thank you very much.

So did anyone actually hook up because of this whole thing? Or can we officially label the castle as "Worst Matchmaker Ever"?

Lady Sylvanas Windrunner rolls 44 (1-100).

[laments]

[Here, Paradisa. Have that spooky, ghoulish voice filling your journal.

She's musing, for once.]

In spite of the rather restive frivolities this holiday seems to bring about, there is something to be said about the effort one goes to express their admiration for another.

Even the beauty of the darkened halls of the Undercity has seen to be riddled with these colorful hearts and festive charms... Funny it is to have long, dead memories resurfacing, much like my people taking hold of our wretched world yet again.

How amusing it is that a number of my people find it appropriate to allow me charms of their toils, in spite of the emotions that no longer matter.

It is even more so amusing that such a holiday is universal, even here.

[A pause. Someone just got a bouquet from someone...

Her tone lightens, albeit faintly.]

More visibly so.

fifty-four shots

[echivoc]

[ Because Cross is such a gentleman, every female resident he knows has been sent a calla lily bouquet (either long-stemmed or short-stemmed calla lilies, you may choose which one, and feel free to choose the colour(s), too) with a small note to have a good day.

But a small time later, one bouquet makes its way back to him. He frowns, knowing it is for Lilith, but it could be Abel simply being a butthead of a not-twin and rejecting them instead lwkjert. So, Cross tries to send them off once more, and they come back again a second time.

Now Cross is up and going through the castle to figure out for sure if this is Abel's doing, or if what he is starting to think is true. A few minutes later, with the examination of a particular nameplate, his suspicions are confirmed.

This effing place.

Cross keeps it moving and only says something once he's back in his room. He debates writing it, but tosses his pen in favour of just dictating into the journal. ]

To anyone who knew her, Lilith Sahl/Nightroad has left Paradisa.

[secondchances]

A secret admirer, huh? Joke's on you, castle, 'cause this girl's...

Actually, I have no idea what this is, but I am done with V-day this year. Love is great, but I'm sick of pink, red, and hearts. Blegh. If this actually isn't some trick by the castle that will make me fall in love with whoever, turn into a bird (or cat, or dog), blurt all out my thoughts and feelings, or just generally embarrass me after locking me in a room for days... sorry? Take me out for coffee instead, I don't bite.

Anyway, what I originally was gonna say is hello world outside my room, I've missed you. Also? Privacy. No offense to my holiday roommate.

Could have been worse, right guys?

[heroldman]

They found the tyllium ship. [ Bill, his words are broken up by the sound of kissing. ]

Um-hmm.

[ Seems the castle brought in a very happy couple. ]

[The sound of kissing is still there as he talks, breaking up his words.] You don't care?

[ Laura gives a small, negative sounding hmm in return this time ]

Neither do I.

[ It's quiet for a time and then there's a loud thump as if someone fell out of bed.

Which someone did. ]

What the frak? [That's yelled, and he doesn't sound happy.]

Bill?

[ There's a small laugh in her voice along with surprise as she turns to look, the sound of her laugh coming across the journal again ]

What- you fell.

[ And then confusion. And concern. There's no bulkhead behind him, nor is this any longer his room. And that confusion resounds in her voice ]

Bill?

Yes I fell. [ His voice is more confused now the anger there too. It's not his quarters, it's not even his ship. ]

And this isn't the Galactica. What the frak is going on Laura? [ His voice is closer, as if he's moving closer to the journal, which he is, sitting up from the floor to find the journal on the nightstand, flipping through it, seeing the words recorded in it. ]

Frak! [ And this time that is yelled and he's throwing the journal across the room now, the thump coming through. ]

((OOC: INTRO! Bill's black, Laura's this. Kerry will get to replies when she gets up.))

[Perhaps it was because practice had been particularly grueling. Perhaps it was because he didn't hear the non-existant alarm go off more than twelve hours earlier. But for whatever reason, one 7th grader only just woke up.

In the music room.]

Nnnn? [It takes him a moment to become fully conscious and mentally functional before he can even begin to take note of his surroundings]

...Eh? What am I doing in the Captain's house?

[anyone with their journals open will find little crumbs of chocolate on the page.

and occasionally a little ... oh ew, is that a bug leg?

Golly, I --

[gulp. rummage]

-- I don't know who my secret admirer was, but ... whoever you are?! Thanks a lot for these chocolates, they're terrific! ... Could do without the millipede though.

Simba, you should come by my room, I'll give you a few ...!

[There is a knocking at your door. Are you going to answer? This particular friend of yours is persistent.]

[James Watson]

This month has been eventful for you, my friend. I trust you are none the worse for it.

[Lakare]

Have you a moment to spare? There are a number of things I should like to discuss with you.

[Friends and Allies]

A most curious holiday. I am glad to have seen the last of it for a year, however harmless it may have been. And how have you fared these past few days?

[Leonard Cohen, playing through all the way to the end, tonight - though it's not Everybody Knows. it's this. and your resident DJ sounds ... pretty mellow. maybe it's because he's a day late. because reasons, okay. REASONS.]

Well, here's a nice warm Tuesday night welcome to our newcomers: Jack, Samantha, Romana, Irene, Naomi, Hattori, and Laura and Bill. Hope you're all settlin' in, and those of you who got here before Friday didn't get stuck with anyone too weird.

So, hey, those of you who got locked in the ballroom ... care to share the sordid details?

Everyone else? I wanna hear your most notable moments from the past few days. Whether it was the look on your roommate's face the first time you guys blew the lights out, or ... what. C'mon. Let's have some fun, tonight, folks. It's not always about what sucks, around here.

As for yours truly? I don't kiss and tell, personally, but I will tell you there's a pretty fantastic piece of artwork in your future, Paradisa. And I helped. In the meantime, while I'm waitin' for you all to weigh in ... here's a little number for the one I never have the words for.

[and he'll just let this play. happy hearts and chocolate day, castle.]

003 :: Written

[lifeandpride]

My, that was interesting. From what I've heard, this is rather common, isn't it? The castle causing a disruption, like that.

I was glad to see some of us (particularly the children) having fun in the ballroom, even if the sleeping arrangements have left me with a stiff back. I suppose it could have been worse – I think I've heard that some of you were paired off or something of that nature.
