Seventh bird song

[fly_little_bird]

I was wondering... how many kids are there in the castle?

[Rue's decided to take a walk around the forest now that she doesn't have to hide. It's a beautiful day and she's taking her time looking at everything as she walks to the forest edge. She sees it all a little differently now that she's been a Nymph. Not that that's an entirely bad thing, of course]

day one | democracy is no more

[atrophied]

[ The previously occupied managerial position in the clinic is conspicuously empty. House thinks that's just sad.

Obviously the thing to do is to seize power (really easy when there's no one to take it from), declare the clinic a sovereign nation (A) has a defined territory...check! B) a permanent population...well, of one, but that counts. Another check! C) a government...monarchy has been recently instituted so that's a check! and D) capacity to enter into relations with other states...if they want medicine, they better start negotiating and there's the last check!) and establish yourself as ruler (because who else can be named? Allen? Everyone would kill themselves.)

This may or may not be a ploy to get John to stop being such a depressed depressing idiot.

In the style and accent of a Southern preacher: ]

Good morning, brothers and sisters! For too long we have lived under the yoke of those who would think themselves our betters. Who would strip from us our right to a good night's sleep. Who would have us wait on them for shifts of 24, 36, even 48 hours with no consideration for our needs!

Well, I'm here to say no more! Because from today, I declare, I say, I do declare that this clinic is a free and independent state!

[ There's a dull, rumbling sound. House stops when he feels something heavy around his head. Heavy and cold and vaguely metallic.

It didn't.

It did.

Oh, shit. ]

...And I want sixty-six female virgin human guards!

[ A beat. ]

At least give me six.

[ Another beat. ]

Really? You get me a crown and no guards? Are you trying to cast me as the next Louis XVI?

Okay. When people leave, we assume they forget Paradisa. But now people are coming back with weird alternate life memories before getting their Paradisa ones back.

Am I the only one who was already in Paradisa when I got my memories back?

09 | a date with butz | action

[thebutz]

[Larry is just finishing tidying up his room for his date. A table adorned with roses and candles is now set up in the middle of the floor, and more candles can be seen scattered around the room. That's right... The date will be in his room. Hooray for convenience? He surveys the setup and gives a satisfied nod after deciding that it's absolutely perfect. He sits down in one of the two chairs at the table and taps his foot nervously. His first real date at Para! You just can't beat that. Thanks a bunch, Wheatley.]




(ooc: this is open to all so if you want to ruin his date go for it ;D)

Residents:

There's been a murder in the City Royale. Industrial District. Very violent. Those of you with delicate stomachs may want to keep your distance.

Thought you might like to know.

Nepeta: Become a movie critic.

[rogueofheart]

[The journal opens to the sounds of sniffles and short, quiet sobs as Nepeta tries to catch her breath and calm herself long enough to speak.]

Umm... I just watched some Earth movies that someone told me were really good. But they didn't tell me how sad they are!

Oh, wait! If you haven't seen these movies, this is your spoiler warning. You should turn the page if you don't want to be spoiled.

[A small, olive teardrop falls onto the page, but Nepeta's quick to wipe it away. She handwrites in big, bold lettering: SPOILERS BELOW. Then, she switches back to dictation.]

The Dog and the Fox was good, but they were supposed to be friends furever! [SNIIIIIIIFF.] The dog was just doing what it was trained to do! It wasn't anything purrsonal, you know? But the fox still got so sad and they weren't friends anymore. I mean, he told him that he was a hunter but the fox was all [Her tone dips low] "No I'm a fox, I do what I want" and they both got in trouble and it was just... pawful.

And then the fox's lusus put him in the forest all by himself! I know she was trying to purrtect him and all but it was still really sad! Nobody wants their lusus to leave them like that!

It was a good movie, but I just wasn't purrpared for all of the feelings that came along with it, you know? [EXHALE.]

I also saw The Royal Lion with Vwiskers.

[She takes a moment to collect herself.]

His lusus! His lusus!! He was only trying to save him from the stampede, but HE got stampeded instead! It wasn't fair! That creepy other lion was such a jerk! He just wanted to be the king and he didn't care who got hurt beclaws of it! Oh, it makes me so mad I could just--!!

[Something is thrown across the room, hitting a wall in the distance with a soft thud. (It's a ball of yarn.)]

And the look on the little lion's face when his lusus was just laying there... And he wasn't moving and he wouldn't get up...

[She can't. She can't finish. She starts to sniffle again.]

Ugh, and don't get me started on the movie Ol' Howler.

♉2 | Tavros: Recover

[uhhh]

Hi... I hope I'm using this right. [ quietly, awkwardly clears his throat before he continues. addressing a whole bunch of people, what is it. ] I just wanted to say that I'm feeling better now, mostly, and so I can walk around now, and it doesn't really hurt, very much. So, uh, thanks for the help that I got, even if I still don't really know why it happened.

[ and this is written: ] }:) [ and back to dictation. ]

So, anyway... I guess I'm just wondering—since I'm here, and, probably not going to not be here for while, maybe, I should probably meet some new friends, and also some things that I can do for awhile that are fun. Uhh, so yes, my name is Tavros, and thanks in advance for anything you can tell me about those things I mentioned.

♈ Aradia: Organize.

[psych0p0mps]

[Filtered to everyone who signed up for the Lastlook expedition (i.e.: Raine Sage, Durge, Katara, Eva, Ino Yamanaka, Rin Asano, Percy Jackson, Violet Baudelaire, Dairine Callahan, River Song, Rue, Allen Walker, and the MacManuses), plus a few others who expressed interest (i.e.: the Doctor, Ezio, Dr. Ray)]

Hello, everyone! Sorry about the delay in getting back to you, some things came up. But now, the time has come to put together our final itinerary, and figure out for sure who all's coming.

To that effect, I'd like to interview all of you, if that's okay! Nothing major, but I'd like to assess what everybody is bringing to the group skills-wise, and get to know those of you I'm not as familiar with while I'm at it. The trip will probably take several weeks, after all. Also, I'll be divvying up the preparation tasks while I'm at it.

So ... yeah! Let me know when and where you'd like to meet, I am available pretty much any time you are. Thanks very much for your interest!


[Filtered to a couple other folks (i.e.: Alleyne, Altaïr, Desmond, Tsuna, all the Homestucks]

Hey there! I am just checking in because I thought you might be interested in the Lastlook expedition but haven't heard anything from you about it. Did you still want to go?
