test chamber 11 ; [ action ]

[sawadeertoday]

[ GLaDOS has been keeping to herself as of late. Hiding around in her room, beginning to start new tests and in the process of finishing a discouragement laser... why is she suddenly wandering the halls, looking kind of purposeful?

She's going to pick up Wheatley from his hiding spot, even if there's a frustration in her gait.

Don't mind all the nutcrackers she's walking by... ]




(( ooc; planned and unplanned kisses totally welcome! she's likely going to be a bit rude about it since ew icky human kisses but don't let that scare you! ))

[Zack sounds a little tired and a little detached when he opens the journal. He's holed up in his room, wrapped in blankets as if he'll forget at any moment what it's like to be warm. For the moment he's escaped Angeal's mother chocoboing watchful eye by promising the man he won't go anywhere, that he'll just rest a while -- rest, and catch up on the journal. It's still a bit of a shock to think of how much he'd missed, how long he'd been trapped.]

I should probably thank anyone who took a whack at that hunk of ice in the lobby. And, uh, apologize for missing all the excitement, I guess.

Back home, I remember our chopper going down in a blizzard, side of a mountain. Me and some other guys, we survived. Started trekking through the snow. Ts-- [A pause, and a slight change in direction of the narrative.] I had point, more often than not. I remember going to scout ahead, another guy telling me how cold I could let myself get before I hit danger zone, passing out and hypothermia and all. It was really fucking cold.

This place, this castle... I wonder how it kept me alive in there.

[Because two weeks or thereabouts spent in a block of ice is certainly grounds for some wondering on the part of one's own mortality. He'd missed his own birthday even, spent it immobile in the lobby without even conscious awareness of the time passed. He supposes it doesn't really matter though: he's dead back home anyway no matter how much time he spends in Paradisa; that won't change.

It does make him put up another filter though.]

[scinlae]

I have half a mind to remain locked up in my room for the month. [ Annoyed sigh. DECEMBER IS THE WORST. ] Pray tell if it is not birds or bells, what has the castle graced us with this year? Lights?

With any luck they will be able to be destroyed unlike the others. [ Don't crush her hopes Paradisa, please don't crush her hopes. ] I have had my fill of indestructible birds and the like.

[ As for Morgana herself, should you be looking for her, she can be found outside sitting amongst the garden. Despite her talk of remaining in her room for the month she has actually come outside to get some fresh air, or something to that affect.

Either way there she is, to be bothered and pestered like you all know you want to do. ]


(ooc; open for every and anything under the sun. general bothering, kisses, random conversations! all that jazz. come at her bros.)

[Next she writes in the journal:

PENNY BLOSSOMS
Need a gift for a special friend? Nothing says 'Merry Christmas' like a Penny Blossom! Flower hairclips in assorted colors with rhinestones, supplies limited. See Penny in the lobby or answer here to get yours today!

And Penny has a table set up in the lobby with her hairclips spread out. She's sitting there and working on making more. There seem to be a few nutcrackers around...]

[ooc: Planned or unplanned kisses! Or come buy a Penny Blossom!]

[courageous_wit]

This will be my second Christmas spent here in Paradisa. Last year turned out quite nice. I hope that whatever the castle may do to us, we'll still get to spend time together on Christmas. I spent so many Christmases with my friends over the years that I couldn't imagine doing it any other way.

[she shifts to a more comfortable position. She has taken a place in the lobby with a small self-contained fire that she conjured. There are nutcrackers around waiting to strike]


[open for kisses planned and unplanned]

[Zelos cared little about the magical kissing going on. If anything, he figured it was kind of fun, a few instances withstanding he rather not talk about. ]

[Because of that, Zelos is sitting at the table in the kitchen, paying no mind to the various nutcrackers that have been put around the room. On the table there seems to be what used to be the toaster, now disassembled with Zelos taking apart the final remaining pieces while whistling to himself without a care in the world. ]

Huh! These things sure have a lot of pieces! Oh well!

[And no. He has no idea how to put it back together again. Nor does he care]

[Really you guys should stop letting him come in here]

[OOC: Open post for all planned and unplanned kissing! Or you know, just talking]

[gentleidealist]

[Lloyd is busy. He's got a little red rider wagon full of supplies, tiny gifts, and holiday treats; these are for his friends that have decided to live in the castle rather than shack up with everyone else on the edge of town. He's hoping to catch a couple of them unawares.

He's not exactly sure what's causing people to kiss this year, but he thinks that if he glares disapprovingly at any Celsiyule decorations, he'll be spared like before.]

[ooc: Since I wasn't on the kissmas planning post due to work and being busy, here's a thing. Open to everyone, yo!]

written ; action

[akito]

The first skating lesson will be Saturday December 8^th at 10:00am in the Ballroom.

All skill levels are welcome. We are starting with inline skating, then moving onto ice skating nearer to Christmas.

Please bring your own gear if you have any. Wrist guards are the most important protective gear to bring if you fall a lot, unless you tend to land on your head.

Please also bring breath mints in case you decide to make out with someone.

Thanks ♥

- Akito


[ Akito is currently wandering around the main level of the castle - the ballroom in particular, for obvious reasons. Later on he'll be on the grounds to take his skunk for a walk. ]

[After going to the clinic to retrieve some blood (thanks, Allen!) and feeding, Abby made it a point to roam the halls to look over the decorations. While she remembers Christmas and how people decorated for it, she never really took the time to admire them -- not even in life.

Her aimless wandering takes her to the lobby, which is where she will stay for around half an hour. While she's making it a point to look ~*normal*~ in the fact that she's wearing the warm clothing and furs Arya's provided, she's neglected her shoes again. She opens up her journal and dictates;]

Are the decorations always like this? For Christmas.

[ooc; Kissmass -- planned and unplanned. Or hang times for new CR!]

[a groan]

I feel as if I slept for a week, and on a poor mattress, at that! And I didn't even have something nice to look at when I woke up!

Did I forget to cut my wine with water last night or something?

Che cazzo, what a night.

I... would like to apologize for my actions during that incident a few weeks ago. Virus or not, my actions are my own and are inexcusable.

I apologize to anyone who had to... see me like that. [airing her dirty laundry oops] It was hardly appropriate behaviour. I would also like to extend my gratitude to those who helped me while under the virus' influence.

...I had thought before that perhaps this castle may not be such an awful place to be in. Now I find myself reconsidering that notion.

[Yeahh no, he's not setting foot outside his room whilst all this kissing nonsense is going on.

He can barely stand people touching him...let alone kiss him.

Also the fact that he started a fight with a big ass demon last time there was a castle-wide epidemic is still fresh in his memory. God knows what might happen this time.]

Are you all quite finished with the free love you're all so keen to give out?

As adorable as it is, you do know this is how diseases are spread?
