[The sounds of a little girl giggling can be heard over the journal. Hannah, age five, has decided that she's going to take the journal and hide. She's doing this because she wants to draw in private and also, because she's pretty sure she's going to be in trouble in 1... 2... 3...]


Hannah!! [Jo is moving chairs and nearly scrambling on the floor to get to Chase the dog.]

Give it back. C'mon... just drop the head and go get a sock or a toy that is not that.

[Hannah giggles and stops drawing a picture of a flower.] He won the tug of war, Mom!

Hannah... this was a very special doll. He needs his head to stay on his body.

Why? It just popped right off!

[Jo will not try to explain to a five year old that she just beheaded Robert Chase and let the dog run away with his head. She will not have a panic attack about people remembering things when they get off losses. She will just try to calmly wait until the dog takes the toy instead of the head.]

Can someone take me to the pool?

Hannah, do you have my journal??

No...

Twenty-Fourth Negotiations; Dictated

[succubitch]

I have to say, I for one am glad that another year has gone by and once again the Castle didn't try to burden me with a child. I'd say it was trying to respect my choices, but considering this is the Castle we're talking about, that's a laughable assumption at best.

I wonder though, how many of were spared the burdens of parenthood this time around? I'm just a little curious, is all.

I suppose I should be grateful I didn't have to be turned into a cat this year to get out of it, if nothing else.

[Filtered to Friends & Acquaintances of Spike Spiegel]

Hey, have any of you seen Spike, lately? The last time I saw him, he ... really didn't seem like himself, and I haven't heard from him in a while. I'm gettin' kinda worried.

[because he is the least observant person ever, sometimes, really]

[/Filter]


Wow, now that Pete's pack is done, I've got a whole bunch of stuff I could get down to. Maybe I should just go right down the list. [he clears his throat] Anyone else out there who's been doing research on Paradisa, feel free to chime in, I'm just sort of dictating notes and questions and stuff for my own benefit.

[he can be heard puttering around his room in the background: feeding Blue and Dumbo, tinkering with ... a something ... in the background ... there's also the occasional interjection from his Litwick]

I really oughta go through the old journal and consolidate all the research from the Skinny Creeper Incident last spring ... I don't ever wanna see him around again, but it'd be good to have it all in one place in case something like that ever happens here again. Which - from what I heard about the Pokemon being a reoccurring translocational shift, we might wanna prepare for just in case. I know everyone has been saying this place doesn't like to repeat itself, but we might've reached the jinx limit on that one.

Speaking of jinxes and Paradisa changing its patterns - hey, could I maybe talk to those of you who've either been knocked out and come back with new memories, or any of you who ended up living somewhere else for a while, like Paris or Castelia City? I've got a couple of theories, and the castle likes messing with my equipment whenever I try to test them, but having good old-fashioned oral reports and written research never hurt anything.

As for the kids, I uh ... wow. I'm kind of having birthday party flashbacks. It's a long story. At least most of them seem friendly, though, not a bunch of shin-kicking, He-Man loving, ungrateful little yuppie larva. That's a nice contrast. I hope all of you who wound up being parents are doing okay.

Oi, I think we all need t' have a talk. Where d'we wanna meet?

[/Saints Filter]

[this afternoon will find Murph out in the churchyard, keeping up with the small, spare vegetable garden the brothers have planted to feed themselves and their various coming-and-going visitors. there's the occasional spatter of dirt across the journal, but he's doing his best to keep it clean]

Anyone know what kinda stuff grows best aroun' here? I planted some stuff, but I dunno how it's gonna do. I know better... just 'cuz this place looks like home doesn' mean it's gonna behave like it all th' damn time.

[Accidental Voice; Action for Kitchen]

[schrodingersghost]

[It starts with a loud crashing sound, as Danny's journal slips off the kitchen table and falls open to the middle of an argument between two very similar voices.]

Fear not, my callow but courageous counterpart!  Working together we will conquer this curious conundrum and rejoin as one!

Dude, are you kidding me?  Why should we do that?  This is going to be awesome!  No one to fight, no responsibilities....  I am totally calling for a movie and junkfood marathon.

[A dramatic gasp.]  Galloping ghosts!  You would ignore people in need to pursue such purposeless pastimes?  

Totally.  You can have the superhero thing.  I am so done with that.  From now on I am Danny Fenton, full time slacker.

[There is another crashing sound, such as might be caused by a ghost leaping onto the top of the table to pose dramatically.]

Then I shall cover for both of us, and be Danny Phantom!  Full Time Superhero!


[ooc: This is the start of Danny's loss.  He's been split into two identities.  One looking like his ghost side and one looking like his human side.  To put himself back together he needs someone to talk both sides into wanting to work together again.]

[Open, in journal and in person]

[foughtfortheusers]

[Have a black cat stalking the halls of the castle, yowling unhappily as it explores.  Things look a lot different from floor level like this, and Rinzler isn't entirely pleased about this.

There's a bright red color on his neck with a little jingly tag with his name on it, not that he realizes it yet.  He's mostly trying to avoid attention with how vulnerable this body feels.  And he's scared.  He knows Clu is going to be unhappy with him.  Then he finally notices his journal, opening it and starting to claw the pages, meowing.]

[ino]

[hey paradisa! if you check outside today, there's a bit of a picnic going on outside, under a tree by the duck pond. ino's sitting on the blanket with her kid, hana, on her lap, while she plays with her hair absently.

... but there's also some other people here, too! two other little girls -- a redhead and a blonde, and a certain redheaded shorty, aka Jr.! it looks like this could be an all out party, really. ... or maybe just Jr. trying to escape Eva and her craziness.]

Miss Ino, will you do my hair too?

Lorraina, you already have your hair done, dummy! I want to go next!

Alright, alright, guys, you'll both get your turn, calm down.

You have to finish me, first, Mommy!

[ ... tired sigh.]

[ooc: Lorraina, Selena, Hana, Ino! Open over the journal or in person. :)]

[gentleidealist]

[During this lovely Saturday afternoon, the Durrving Family can be found busying themselves in the garden. Nestled within the green leaves and beautiful flowers are the giggles and hiccups of an eight month old baby boy.

The child has strangely suspect auburn hair and clear blue eyes, but he looks a lot like his 'father' physically. Meanwhile, Lloyd wants to make this the best Saturday ever. He hands the baby off to his... domestic partner and works on his biggest project yet. It doesn't look like much: two fishing pole-like wands, a bit of rope, and a giant bucket... but Lloyd believes this plan is sure to please.]

[Colette takes the little boy and sets him on the ground. It takes him a moment, but his curiosity takes hold and he tries to stumble up to his feet. Colette giggles and holds her hands out so that he has something to grab onto, and walks the baby in circles]

Don't worry, Leif! Lloyd will be done in a minute, and I'm sure it'll be really amazing!

[Of course, being Colette, she says that with complete sincerity. She glances over at Lloyd to see how his project is going]

[Lloyd gives the substance in the bucket one more stir, and then he looks at Colette and gives her a thumbs up.]

All right! Get ready!

[He plants his feet firmly behind the bucket and grabs hold of the two wands-- not unlike swords in his hands-- and raises them high into the air. Within a few seconds, a gigantic rainbow bubble floats toward the observers.]

[Ecstatic, Leif giggles and claps his hands. He tries to hurry towards towards the bubble, but Colette giggles and walks him towards the magnificent creation. She also looks pretty impressed with such an awesome bubble]

Wow, Lloyd, it's so beautiful! [hehe, she giggles, and picks up Leif so he can see it closer] Leif thinks so too!

[Lloyd blushes and hopes it isn't too obvious, but he's grinning regardless.] Careful! It might pop on you!

[ooc: FEEL FREE TO JOIN IN ON BUBBLE FUN. HAVE A GIGANTIC BUBBLE POP ON YOUR FACE. Also, this is backdated to Saturday at noon due to our horrible schedules.]
