[A certain young man is waiting around anxiously in the lobby today. He has a date and wow is he ever nervous, although he will be doing his best to hide that when the lucky lady arrives. He fidgets with the cuffs of his jacket impatiently.]

Come on, hurry up...

[Opening his journal]

Hey, where are you, GLaDOS? I've been here for... uh...

[He checks his watch...]

...three minutes...

[oh]

Fourteenth Time - Will I be never be free of this awful place? [dictated]

[losemycherry]

A lot of you have tried to leave the castle, right? But it's never worked out, as I understand it. But some of you have been here for a really long time.

[There is a brief moment of silence as Yamada considers how to most clearly word her question.]

I guess what I'm asking is, have any of you noticed anything common among those who the castle ends up getting rid of? And...what happens to them after that, anyway?

[ This part is written: ]

Dear diary that is shared with many others,

I have either truly died or gone insane. There are no castles in Alaska.

[ And this is dictated: ]

What is the year?

[ That is really her only question, rofl. Strikes are only barely readable. ]

[the perk of not being in the large group that left the castle? Less competition for choice seats in the movie theater.

The downside of having little company? Having no one wake her up when she falls asleep -- the chair was really comfy, okay? And the movie she was waiting to end was dull]

Crap.

[...ah, the journal. Have a dictated message:] Just checking because I don't have a watch on me right now, but...it's Saturday, right?

[you never know, more so with the castle's seeming fondness for messing with her sleep and/or locking her up in places. Getting stuck in here until the next time the theater opens would be Very Inconvenient]

[ooc: also open for theater action!]

[whathedoves]

Ah, salutations, everyone!

I hope you've been well, with all my heart! It's been a while since you've heard my voice, hasn't it?

What if I told you I just haven't had anything to say? Hard to believe, right? Can you swallow a story that outlandish?

I think for a while there I was just in fear of getting myself into trouble! You see, mes amis, I am the best at getting myself into terrible and fatal jams!

It's what I do second-best - apart, of course, from pleasing the ladies!

Some gentlemen.

So no, maybe not that.

Lately, I've been roughing it a little bit! I guess that stint at camp went to my head a little, and I went sniffing out adventure! Haha. Dreadfully selfish of me, isn't it? That's no good; that's what makes me a rogue.

So as I was sleeping rough, I took the opportunity for deep personal reflection.

Oh no, you'll be saying, I can tell! Pretend that I'm winking here. It will soften the blow!

What do you all think about us living beyond our abilities? Financially or - well, or otherwise! What causes us to always try to be better than what we are?

First Legend

[kingsgambit]

[He's only just arrived in this place earlier in the day, but it's far easier for him to not snap out and react. That doesn't get one very far when he can sense magic after all and it's that alone that makes him pause.

Eventually though he does pick up the journal and flops down onto his bed and addresses it. For the moment all he can do is ask questions right?

Better to see who he all knows is around.

Even if he is irked that his travel time was ruined by a castle.]

In all my years I have never seen a place such as this and yet I doubt even Camelot will attain such, presence [That's the best he's got to explain the castle.] even though it is legendary.

Which prompts me to ask is there anyone here from Camelot or Castle Pendragon? [He hadn't looked hard at the journal when he looked, just enough to get his feet on the ground.] And is there anything I should be warned of about this place? [He could guess by the journal but it never hurts to hear from those in it right?]

[backdated last night]

[Filtered away from first gens, their allies, and people who would tell them for shits and giggles, and filtered to those in the castle area who are interested in the expedition progress]

[all of this was written with slow deliberation]

We just made it to Amber Steppes, was it? I was never good with remembering a names of places. So far, we haven't run into any major conflicts. Still alert just in case.

We made sure to avoid the Eldritch Forest. Thinking about that place still makes my skin tingle. Haven't found anything interesting yet, aside from random samples.

[He pauses in writing]

Is anyone taking care of the outdoor stage? I forgot about sweeping it until we were well off in our travels.
