❀ Episode 05 ❀ [Dictated / Action] - backdated to Valentine's Day

[therealrisette]

[After some of her encounters earlier in the day, Rise's pretty sure there's something going on in the castle. Maybe it's the mysterious chocolates everyone seemed to get, or maybe it's just the castle messing with everyone directly.

Either way, she's actually having fun with it. And why question it if it's fun?

There's only one more thing to do.]

So is anyone else bored right now?

I mean, it's been a great Valentine's Day so far, and I love how the castle's getting into the spirit of things!

[Actually, it's a bit overdone, even for Rise's tastes. But she's in super positive idol mode right now. Complete with dramatic announcer tone and everything.]

But like a lot of lonely, single girls out there, I just don't have any plans...

[Dramatically sad to suddenly perky mood whiplash in three... two... one...]

So anyone wanna come hang out with Risette?

[She still says that name as if it means anything here. Who knows? Maybe one day it will.]

I'm right outside the Four Seasons Room on the third floor! I promise we'll have fun!

[She has her box of chocolates for that if nothing else.]

( Adachi and Pixy )

( Yukiko and Kara )

{ooc: Planned or unplanned, we are open for all the chocolate shenanigans! Rise is experimenting so she's perfectly willing to have some chocolates herself as long as you will too. >:3}

I don't know who sent them, but I didn't eat the chocolates or the cake.

.. Sorry. If someone else wants them, I left them in the kitchen.

[ Having dropped off the food items, she's opted to take a quick walk through the garden before the sun rises. Even if she wanted to, she couldn't have indulged in the sweet treats. She doesn't feel like she's missed out, anyway. At least judging by how crazy the other holidays she's witnessed here have ended. Forced kissing? No thanks. After finding a spot in the garden to sit, she pens in a few filters.

With the filters finished, she dictates again. Someone has been learning Italian from Ezio and, as practice makes perfect, now seems as good a time as any to do so. ]

Mi hai capito? Buona. Sto ancora imparando la lingua.

[ ooc Hover over the Italian (that I clearly don't speak) for the very free translation. Also, another post here in logs for Abby's human loss. ]

Twenty-Third House of Westeros ♛ Dictated

[songsandstories]

The holidays here are most strange. First Christmas, a day for the birth of your God's son, and then the death of one of your holy men is celebrated by sweets and tokens of affection? We have no such day in Westeros.

[Protip: Westeros never has anything nice.]

I spent the day in my room. If Christmas would have us being intimate with one another, I only feared what the castle would do on this day. I wonder if every holiday is accustomed by some trickery here.

[Perhaps that is part of the game.]

4th Widows Web - Back dated to Valentines day - dictated

[well_assembled]

I wasn’t expecting gifts but, I guess this place enjoys putting people in holiday moods. Valentine’s day isn’t really an international event so there are probably a few people out of the loop. But it is supposed to be some celebration of caring about people and it’s loosely tied to a few marytrs as I heard the stories.

[She chews a chocolate, it’s actually very good. The first one she had was a lovely chocolate mint, this one was strawberry. They were good but made her thirsty. Nat talked while she headed for the kitchen to get something to wash them down with. She carefully avoided the décor on her way, it was a bit too…over the top.]

I guess enjoy the sweets and sweetness if that’s what all this is about.

[Suddenly she really wanted to talk to Cap, it seemed important, she’d have to track him down maybe after she got a drink.]


(Ok so if you want to run into Nat in the hall you'll get kissed and poor Steve..well..yeah Mint.)

[after waking up in a stylishly-decorated city loft-style room, teenage Shego had to take some time to verify that she had, in fact, not died and gone to heaven]

[after that, she explores a little bit, flips through the journal, figures out what it is, and decides to get business out of the way before getting back to the cool stuff]

[the first part of her dictation sounds like it's being read from a memorized script:]

Fear not, brave citizens.

[it's definitely Shego's voice, albeit a younger Shego's voice]

Your collective nightmare will soon come to an end, now that our dastardly kidnapper has seen fit to steal away one-fifth of the Team Go and trap her in this admittedly swanky fortress of misery, destruction, and really cool spa rooms. Rest assured, they will be caught and brought to justice, and when they are, they'll curse they day they came up with this evil scheme of... yadda yadda yadda.

Look.

I don't know what the deal here is, and I'm not gonna lie and say that this isn't at least kind of a welcome change, but that doesn't change the fact that me and all these other people were brought here against our will. I know you're listening to this, because no good bad guy doesn't keep tabs on their kidnap victims, and I just want you to know that you've set yourself up for the butt-kicking of a lifetime here.

The rest of you? You don't really seem like a panicky bunch, but if you are, breath into a paper bag and sit tight. You have at least one superhero among you now, and the rest of my team is eventually going to get their crap together without me and come after us. But, judging by how well they normally do when I'm not around to organize everything for them, we're looking at two-three weeks of waiting time, minimum. If you need someone to talk to about your predicament, find someone who isn't me, because I don't have the time or the patience to deal with freaked-out civilians.

Thanks. Bye.

[she shuts the journal]

24 - Dictated - Rogue

[radiantwingedone]

[ Duke is bored - and moderately pleased that he hadn't eaten any of the mysterious food, from checking the journal. Avoiding people on holidays - or maybe just avoiding the new things about the holidays - seems to be a good plan here. ]

A question born of curiosity; what do you all consider an act of betrayal?

[ His voice is carefully neutral - well, perhaps a bit flat. This is perhaps a bit tricky of a subject to get a long conversation on from him. ]

Suppose the follow up question would be 'what is an appropriate reaction to being betrayed'?

[ He'll do his best not to be biased at any responses. ]

[Dictated]

[schrodingersghost]

 ....I am never leaving my room again. [Danny's voice contains more than a little horror at his memories of the last week.]

If anyone needs me I'll be in bed, pretending the last few days never happened.

Oh and anyone who talked to me in the last couple days?  Can we just blame it all on temporary insanity and ignore it?
