one perilous roof

[buttonless]

[A little after midnight, a voice comes over the journals - panicked, pissed off, and very distinctly belonging to a young girl. She's shouting, but not into the journal, which is folded open in the messenger bag around her shoulders.]

Hey, is this some kind of sick joke? Sticking me up here so I can't-

[There's a slight yelp and a bit of a scuttling noise, followed by the sharp whistling of wind.]

I'm still not gonna let you win! Got it?

[When there's no answer to her shouting, Coraline's audacity falters. Paradisa's decided it would be fun to drop her right on the top tier of the castle's roof, and after about ten minutes of clinging to the slanted tiles, it's starting to make a bubble of fear and raw panic swell up in her throat.]

Can anyone even hear me? ... Hello?

[shipper_on_deck]

[Isabela is lounging about next to the pool with a small pile of shiny trinkets on the table next to her. Her customary boots are scattered on the floor and she looks pretty damn happy with that bottle of rum.]

Ahoy there!

[a parrot pokemon comes into view and lands on her outstretched arm, a shiny bracelet clutched in its foot.]

Good job, Jewel! Let's see what we've got here.

[she takes the bracelet from it and gives it a treat. While it squawks happily and noms the poffin or whatever, she examines the bracelet. Huh. It's not one of the ones she scattered about to help train the bird. Well. Perhaps training is going better than she thought.]

Chapter Seven- Golden Years

( Gwaine )

[And before he gets totally wasted, he decides to dictate to his journal.]

How many of you know how to dance?

[ooc: Open in person or over the journals. He’s sitting in a bar somewhere in the town.]

[huntersdaughter]

[Out in the pond today is a river otter. maybe sleeping. maybe looking for a good rock. maybe diving below the surface to get a fish. perhaps making a disgusting pile of fish guts on the shoreline. running through the long grass. chasing ducks. chasing you.

who knows what this otter will do all day, but it's happy to be outside and likes the water.

COME PLAY.]

((ooc: open action post outside near the duck pond. Also for reference - now with SQUEAKER SOUNDS))

[nomoretalkofdarkness]

[Ken is holed up in an odd corner of the library, speaking quietly into the journal.

Should anyone happen upon him, he seems to have two stacks of books at the ready--one that is focused on the building of computers, and another comprised entirely of Sherlock Holmes novels. The Holmes stack is neat and tidy, while the other is strewn messily across the floor around the chair he's inhabiting, pages of notes tossed in here and there among the books.]

I have been here for twelve days, and I don't think I've been productive enough.

[Here, he switches to writing--making a list.]

Things I have done since coming here:

-met many people who already knew me.
-spoken to a few people interested in playing soccer.
-explored as much of the castle as I can access.
-found a very smart dog. Does he belong to someone?

[And he's back to soft talking once again.]

That's a sorry list for nearly two weeks' time. So I'm getting started on a couple of projects, today.

[He doesn't seem to be offering any more information than that, as he goes back to perusing one of his many books.]

So, how does one react when they find out they've been here for an entire year?

[ piper has been here for a year and a couple of days. she honestly never expected to see a new year, see family members, or even stick around for that long. ]

Do I get a reward? An entire year of a pass when it comes to being on a loss? That would be incredibly nice, don't you think?

Uno

[dubtalia]

[Nighttime is always when people can rest and sleep. This kind of thing is no excuse for this newcomer. Enter Italy Veneziano. A man with auburn hair and a curl beside his left head took this chance without a hesitation. Though when he stirrs in his sleep and wakes up with a yawn, something felt odd,]

Am I late for training?

[When Italy spoke, he had an Italian accent that sounded like he was from a video game. He looks out the window and sees that it is still dark.]

Nope! Still bedtime!

[Italy lets his body plop on the bed and pulling the covers for snuggle. He tosses to the side as if to face someone.]

Good night, Germany!

[Who wants to be the lucky lady/guy to find him sleeping next to you? Don't worry, he's not naked...yet. Just wearing a pink tank top and yellow shorts. Question remains how he got into someone's bed. Who does he wake up beside with?]

221B Baker Street

[onlyanotherbody]

[The first thing Crowley realised upon waking was not the strangeness of being in a new body, but rather a horrible, stabbing headache. As if someone was trying to pry his brain apart with mallets.

Mallets covered with ants.

On fire.

He springs up with a yelp, and notices a rosary on the bed beside him, and a crucifix on the wall]

Oh shitfuckbollocks!!!

[He falls out of bed and skitters as far away from the blessed things as he can get, deciding to stare pointedly at the floor]

Are you people trying to kill me now? Is that a thing you're trying to do?!

Trick 001 | Kaito Kuroba | Dictated

[moonlightmagician]

[ Kaito isn’t one to trust easily so after some extensive research and sneaking around here and there and he’s more informed of his situation he finally decides to test out this journal thing by introducing himself-writing rather than speaking. ]

So, the gist of this place is that we can have whatever we want for a small price we may or may never find out was taken from us? I don’t know... I’d hesitate to call that Paradise. Either way, seems like I’ll be staying here-completely against my will- for awhile, so I’ll try not to make enemies out of all of you.

I’m Kuroba Kaito. I don’t like to brag too much but I’m a pretty awesome magician. I also happen to hold the title as the biggest trouble maker at my school. In light of this, I’d like to know who among you can take a practical joke and who might killed me if I land on their bad side.

Oh! And one last thing, very important- Who would be the most fun to annoy?

test chamber 01 ;

[sawadeertoday]

[ Being human was definitely NOT one of this former AI’s fortes. GLaDOS can’t even begin to comprehend what’s going on – waking up in what seemed like a human bedroom in a HUMAN body was most decidedly NOT normal for her. ]

What is going ON… [ she mutters to herself quietly, as she tries to figure out how to move her almost sickly-pale limbs. ]

… I suppose you feel so much better about yourself after stuffing me into this useless body. [ she announces; she was used to her voice being broadcasted throughout the facility, and she was convinced she was still there. An obvious tinge of sarcasm coats her words, although they lack the robotic quality she was used to hearing from herself. ] I was on the edge of discovering a cure for the common cold. Or maybe something more fatal, like malaria. But now that I’m in this body, that’s gone. So think of all of the humans that will suffer because of that.

[ A pause. By now, she’s managed to figure most of her limbs, lifting her arms and curling her fingers experimentally. She only knows one person who’s probably active in the facility, but why would she do this? And how? Last time GLaDOS checked, Aperture’s labs didn’t have technology to reverse brain mapping. ]

You do know that I was going to let you go. But this is just ridiculous.

[ She hardly notices the open journal on her bedside table, instead continuing to practice her limbs. ]

[datadog]

[Today our resident Corgi can be found lying in the main doorway of the castle, staring wistfully out at the pouring rain. He'd rather be out having fun with Ed, but today it's just too wet and stormy... And he's certainly had enough of being wet. He lets out a big doggy sigh and flops onto his side. So bored...]
