[The message that appears in the journal today is that same carefully neutral script that appeared a couple of months ago]

I'd like to wish our intrepid explorers good luck on their journey. Hopefully they will return wiser of this world.

If any of you should encounter creatures of any kind while you are out there, I would like to mention that my offer of reward for their capture is still open.

My thoughts are with all of you headed out on your mission today- I have had enough adventuring for one lifetime, I think, and there are several talented medics accompanying you already, so I will send my support from afar. I have someone back here who requires my full attention, anyway.

[Filtered to friends of Simon Tam.]

If anyone is curious as to what those markings on me a few days ago stood for... I am starting to feel like it is quite useless to hide from my past here, so I would be willing to discuss things in private.

[Simon had the word "FUGITIVE" prominent in several places across his body during Samkranti. If you're not sure whether or not you'd be on the friends filter, ping me and I'll say yay or nay!]

Have a nice trip... or something.

Try not to do anything stupid.

Unexpected Lesson!

[greatesthitman]

[It’s a really just a typical day for Reborn, watching Tsuna, getting ready to kick Tsuna (for something who knows what), and traveling. Except the traveling is to the Dead Zone and Reborn’s not exactly aware of what that means until his kick lands and he ends up in it, fully adult and well, lacking clothes.]

That’s unexpected. [Totally ignoring the fact he’s on top of Tsuna.]

Ughhhnn... [why does reborn have to make his life so suffering. He moves to get up but uh, he can’t because Reborn has suddenly gained like 100 pounds.] Jeez, Reborn, did you hit me with your one-ton mallet or something? [He cranes his neck to look at him.

That

Is definitely Jolin.




Why is Jolin on him.


WHY IS JOLIN ON HIM NAKED]

HIIIIIIIIIE! Wh-what the heck’s going on here?! [His mind’s a little too preoccupied by FULL GROWN MAN SITTING NAKED ON TOP OF HIM to quite make the connection, and he struggles wildly to get out from underneath him.]

( The rest is cut for length! )

OOC: Yellow is Reborn, brown is Tsuna! Open over the journal or action for expedition people.

[Dictated/Action for Expedition

[deductiongeek]

 [Conan figured a day of travel was long enough to keep anyone from objecting too much.  So he finally pulls out his journal and dictates a short announcement.]

If anyone has been wondering where I am?  I decided to go on the expedition.

But don't worry!  I'm being very careful.

[Mabel clears her throat before speaking]

Hello friends, Mabel here.

As many of you set out to explore uncharted and even possibly dangerous lands, I'd like to take the time to recognize each and every one of you for your contributions to expanding Paradisa's knowledge and encouraging exploration!

I'd like to recognize you one by one, but we know that would take too long, and we don't want you to fall behind schedule!

Each of you is a shining star, so I hope that you will accept this as a token of my appreciation.



Please remember to stay safe. Consider it your number one priority! Remember to use safe practices when setting up tents, cooking meals, or running away from vicious creatures of the unknown. If we can get through this expedition without an incident, I'll treat the whole castle to a safety luncheon! How's that for incentive?

And lastly, I'd like to send you off with one of my favorite acronyms to keep in mind while traveling. I want you all to be your best... S.E.L.V.E.S.

S.atisfied
E.veryday
L.oving life
V.ery much
E.veryday
S.atisfied

Keep this in mind while you're on the road, and remember to have fun!

Now, for the rest of you still in the castle, don't think I've forgotten about you! Let's talk one on one.

How can we make Paradisa more enjoyable for everyone? I know you have some ideas, so let's hear them! Every idea is a precious gem just waiting to be sanded and smoothed to perfection, but we can't discover them without picking away at the brain a little. So let's pick up our pickaxes and brainstorm!

DLN 007 - Fire [Filter/Action.]

[whistles_the_blues]

( Filtered to Kara Zor-El )

[Today Blues can be found in the laundry room of all places. He's got a basket with... Just his scarf in it, he doesn't actually own any other clothes. Between cleaning up all the debris in town and being sprayed by an elephant, he felt his trade mark scarf needed a proper cleaning. ...No he didn't count an elephant bath as that, that's gross.

After putting the scarf in the wash, the robot sits up on one of the other machines and starts to whistle a tune. His journal is open in the basket so anyone can hear the whistle alongside the faint sound of the washing machine in the background.]

[OOC open to bother either in person or over the journal.]

Trial 5: Take care, explorers! (Backdated to the morning of the 17th)

[pint_sized_carnivore]

[Chie was looking at the window and sees everyone getting ready for the big trip. She has her journal open while she's carrying Pixy's pet Shiba Inu puppy in her arms.]

Hey everyone! Chie here. Sorry if I decided to stay. I just wasn't sure if I really wanted to go, and now I feel a little under the weather. Sheesh, of all the times... Argh! It sucks. But best of luck to all of you, really! Especially to Aradia, Ino, Jennifer, Ashura, Martel, Katniss, Pixy-san, and you Doc! Be safe and make sure to tell stories of your adventure when you all come back soon! I promise to come along in the next expedition, whenever that would be.

[The puppy whimpered] Oh, what's that? You hungry? Alright, I'll go get us some steak for breakfast! Say goodbye to everyone. Come on. [She waved the puppy's arm at the window, and it barked twice as if to say "See you later!"]

(OOC: Open for action to anyone who elected to stay)

Twenty Six Truffula Trees

[whichwayyoulean]

[Now the expedition has stopped inside the dead zone for the night, the Once-ler is sitting outside his collapsible cottage, flicking idly through the journal pages, catching up on what's been going on in the castle.

It's not until he gets a few pages in that he even realises what date it is]

Huh. Looks like I've been in this place a year now. Sure doesn't feel like it.

[It's better than what he's got to face back home, at least. Here, he has people to talk to, and isn't left alone with only his own personal demons to keep him company. Still, it's not exactly what he planned, being trapped here. It forever feels like a temporary stay of punishment, that could end at any time]

...Not sure how to feel about that. I mean, how are you supposed to feel, knowing a magical possibly evil castle has decided to keep you around for a whole year?

[Hermione]

Hey, while you're still in the castle, can you do me a favour? There's a tree in the gardens, can you just...check up on it once in a while? Make sure it's doing okay? Until I get back.

thirty-sixth twist of the coil

[vampirize]

So, we had stains on our bodies representing our regrets and doubts and whatever, and then elephants came to wash said stains away. Makes as much sense as anything in this castle, really. After two years, I really shouldn't question anything anymore.

[Tesla lets out a slight huff, before continuing:]

Anyways, so we have an expedition going on, or something. Here's probably where I tell you the whole "bon voyage" schtick , but frankly? Im not feeling up to it. Instead, have a few words of advice:

If it looks dangerous, don't bring it back to the castle.

If it looks too good to be true, don't bring it back to the castle.

Just...don't bring back anything to the castle which looks like it could cause ten million people to keel over and die without warning. I'm talking strange "magical" artifacts and the like which look harmless but are actually not. The last thing we need is an uprising of a version of the bubonic plague on our hands in a confined area like this one.

This has been a helpful public service announcement by yours truly.
