Flight 002 ~ [Action/Dictated]

[syndicswillpay]

[Clearing his throat, John opens his journal as he sits on a couch in the lobby]

This is Captain John Ge... [He stops.] Sorry. Force of habit.

So, all the stars are different here. That's really hitting home how far away from my roots I am.

[A pause] Where I'm from, we look to the living stars for guidance. Our Ancestors are with them, and we can always count on them being there for us.

It makes me sorta uneasy. Anyone know of a way of coping with stuff like this?

[Another throat clearing, his voice professional.]

If anyone could give me some advice, I'll be in the lobby, or over the journal.

To the honour of our Ancestors,
Geary out.

[Because that was one habit that wasn't going, no matter where he was.]

[ooc: BACKDATED TO WEDNESDAY ;;]

We've got an all clear, yeah? No oncoming disasters that we can see?

It's probably safe to hold my sale on Saturday. Mean, I'd really hate to think my schedule is that related to the castle's. We're not on the same cycle are we? [Considering the castle makes her stop aging... there is no cycle to sync up with the castle, but regardless. It's a thought.]

Figure I'll set things up Saturday morning in the lobby. Feel free to take up a table, or just leave your stuff with me. Make sure to tell me what it is, alright?

Might even want to look into those little hanging tags that let you jot down notes. [She thinks about it.] Possibly your initials.

Hm. Seems I've missed another birthday. Got caught up in the castle's antics.

Don't matter much though. [she sounds amused] There is some perks about not agin' really.

[Jim has been here for a few hours now. Admittedly it came as a bit of a surprise to find he still had the back of his head intact but surprise wore off quickly to be replaced with curiosity and curiosity lead him to the journal. So eventually he decides to sit down still dressed in the suit he was wearing whilst standing on the hospital rooftop with Sherlock.]

So this is the afterlife for me then? No fiery demons? no clouds of angels just a simple boring old castle....how very fairy tale!

Sorry for anybody expecting a good old fashioned "oh my goodness where am i what am i doing here?" introduction but i took the liberty of catching up on some reading. A castle that takes people out of their time and dimension and keeps them here. So at its heart this is just a great big interdimensonal dumping ground...how charming!

Oh sorry where are my manners?. My name is Jim and I’m your new neighbour!

[After all the filters are out of the way, Jade sits down in the music room on the piano. For now, he feels like kicking back and relaxing and not writing or practicing his spells. So, he'll just open his journal and let everyone enjoy some music. He wished he could say it was completely accurate to the song, but almost everyone here wasn't from his world, so where he messed up wouldn't be noticed. And for all he could, this was the best at the piano he could be. Anything more challenging would put his fingers in knots and his head in circles. However, this was good enough and he was sure a little peppy tune wouldn't be negative to anyone.]

[signedlefthanded]

So I've met a few people here who have magic abilities, and I was just interested in learning more about it. Or any supernatural things. They don't exist back home or at least everything has been disproved, and there seems to be no logical reason to believe in such stories anyway.

But I know several people that are extraordinary or at least by my standards which is the only way I know how to gauge anything.

Are the supernatural or magic abilities common where you are from? If you don't feel comfortable telling me if you are, that is fine, too. I can understand.

[cricketycricket]

... you know, I was originally going to have a very long, well-thought out speech prepared for this. But there's been enough talk lately, and you're all bound to blank out on me in that way most of you do when someone talks for too long.

[yes, his frustration is very hard to miss. He's Very Disappointed In You. well, most of you. some of you. somewhere in between. if you feel guilty? chances are you're on his list]

For the last three years I've pledged to do my best to look after you, to keep you safe, to help when there's trouble. But from where I sit, right now, it looks like your biggest trouble is each other, and that's something I'd have to be even madder than I am to try and fix.

Solve it yourselves, everyone, and best of luck. Myself and I are going to the Dead Zone. Please don't come looking for us -- and I do mean that.

( Filters to Yuan & Companions below cut. )

[and with that, Five and Eleven are off to the Dead Zone in Five's TARDIS. Eleven's is still in their room, but locked - anyone with a TARDIS key has access, should it be needed. once they reach the edge of the Dead Zone, Five locks his own TARDIS and pats her fondly on the side]

Enjoy the scenery, old girl. I'll be back, both of me.

[Rapunzel had arrived not too long ago, confused in a room that wasn't her own. It's not until she dares to peek outside and sees her name on the door that she ends up using the journal, albeit by coincidence. She has it opened already as she starts talking, because surely her captor is here, and if they know her name... What else might they know?]

You--You shouldn't have done this! You can't keep me here. And...

And I know what you want. You can't have it.

Hello everyone.

I do read and listen quite a bit to this journal, but I've been a bit too busy trying to find a way to return home to respond to everyone.

The library gave me a good overview of castles and magic from different worlds, but I can't say I'm any closer to my goal.

Recently an acquaintance of mine brought to my attention that there are occasional expeditions to explore outside the castle for this purpose. I've done some exploring myself, but not much farther than the edge of town.

I was wondering if any expeditions are being planned soon. I'm sure there are others among you that wish to return just as I do. If we work together, I'm sure this can be overcome in time.

[A pause here.]

I'm also aware that some of you are content with your circumstances at the moment, and I have no intentions of making you feel uncomfortable. Each of us has a duty to ourselves to act how we think is right, and I am simply responding to that duty within myself.

2 Salvaged Memory Boards [Filtered to computer and tech-savvy people]

Hi..uhh...my name's Huey. I arrived here in the castle about a week ago, so I'm still working on getting my bearings.

Anyway...uhh...the purpose of this filter was to reach out to other people in my field of study. Back home, I was an advanced robotics engineer and AI researcher, and I was kind of hoping to pick up where I left off here, maybe build some defense robots for the castle, or something along that line.

Does anyone want to compare notes? Maybe help get me up to speed with the technology that's been developed since my time? I've been...uhh...working on some new blueprints, but it'd obviously go a lot quicker if I had access to a computer.

[Now he's just waiting for responses. He wants to geek out some more, and maybe get programming on some AI programs for the robots he wants to build here. Nothing too ambitious.]

[He may have been around for a while already, taking the time to get his bearings. The post itself is certainly not accidental, for while it seems mostly rhetorical, the words themselves are quite deliberate]

This is quite the interesting purgatory, isn't it? I wonder, just what sort of devils does a place like this place hold? Or perhaps I've been sent here to torment the angels instead.

[A pause]

A beast belongs amongst his own kind, not trapped with the weak, forced to grow soft himself or perish in the process. No matter how grand the cage may be, it is only the illusion of freedom. I suppose it will be up to me to test the strength of these bars.

[there's a few taps of a pen. Neal is bored. And when Neal is bored, he asks interesting questions.]


Just out of curiosity, has anyone around here ever played "Word Assassins"?

[a beat]

And ... for the record, it's a game and I'm not actually proposing any real deaths.

[There will be an OOC post up momentarily for official sign ups, but feel free to chat with Neal in the meantime. Official sign-ups are HERE.]
