[Some foreign words begin to scrawl across the top of the page, intentionally written in a different language.]



[Jade's voice comes over afterwards, seeming contemplative for the time being.]

Does anyone know exactly how many different worlds there are that people have been pulled from?

20-Written

[jimfromit]

So many people have fled this bricked prison recently...so many little birdies flying the nest.

No real pattern to these departures either.  I mean does it not depress you all that a young lady of no significance gets to go home after two weeks, and yet some of you have been held here for years and years?

Oh well...maybe the only "way out" truly does lie with the castle and it's fickle nature.

How sad.

Still until your number gets called, have another puzzle to help pass the time.

[kalinda]

( Filtered to the others who were also a part of Mr. Boy's detention. )

[With that out of the way, Kalinda's staring the journal idly. She doesn't particularly like broadcasting herself in this thing, but she sure likes scouring it for information! And you know, idle chatter.]

This place never ceases to surprise me-- and this is coming from someone who was rarely surprised back home. People are often predictable, and read easily at that. As different as we all seem to be, it's oddly strange how there are more similarities than one might think. There's just these universal truths... I guess here, they literally transcend universes.

Not to give in to the philosophical, by any means.

That being said, I have to ask what it is about this place that has surprised you the most. Be it the company we're sharing or what this place is capable of. Whatever. I'd hate to be caught off guard by the next extraneous circumstance.

[Dictated]

[lightbranded]

 [Will stares at the open journal for a long time as he debates what to say.]

I remember myself, now.  I remember who I am, and I remember when I was taken to the castle before. 

Has it been long, here?

[He doesn't say anything about the strange weakness he had noticed in himself.]

[eternityalone]

[Katherine can be found this evening sitting on the steps leading up to the castle. She's contemplating a walk, but for now she's keeping an eye on who is coming and going. Rather than pick a random topic, she opts to tug at older memories.]

Is anyone familiar with football? [She's still dressing as though she fits in the 19th century, her skirt folded slightly and tucked beneath her thigh so that she doesn't have people stepping on it.]

I believe now that the weather is getting cooler, this sport would be easier to play outside. I admit to only seeing it played a few times, but I would be interested to see how it's changed since I first saw it played.

It seemed such a fun sport, though I am sure I did not play by the rules.


Lilah Morgan & Tess Mercer ]

Today, as I was venturing through the city I came across a building labeled as the Pierce Academy. I inquired about it and was told that I should speak with either of you. I can only assume this is something from my previous stay here, though I am unsure what I was doing with such a building.

Four Swords

[willalwaysfindyou]

How many of you... are missing spots of your memory? That can be your loss, correct?

Filtered to Henry
I have some important questions for you, Henry.

Filtered away from Henry
I was thinking about a little exploring. I could use a few companions. I don't know many of you, but I would gladly take any company. I need to talk to Henry, my grandson, before I set any plans in stone, though. Also, if this plan goes through, I would like it if someone could look after Henry, an adult that he's friends with perhaps?

Fifteenth Time - Returning faces? Are they friendly? [dictated/action]

[losemycherry]

[Yamada sits on a couch in the lobby, watching as folks enter and leave the castle. She wonders how long they have been here, and how many of them will still be here in a year. Will I be? she wonders. Maybe I'll never leave. But maybe that's not so bad, really. She begins to speak quietly into the journal, and it records her words in the usual calligraphic script.]

I've heard some people talk about returning faces. Does this mean that people who used to be here have come back again? I've been wondering what happens after you leave here, so I'm curious to meet one of these guys.

[payback]

I think maybe, instead of being sad when people leave, we should have parties.

At least sometimes. It'd be a nice change, hm?
