Gathering of Minds

[waterproofed]

Whether you just showed up yesterday or you've been here for years, I think we can all agree that Paradisa is a strange place. Lots of weird stuff goes on around here. We've been to space and high school and towns from all over the world, and that's just the stuff I know about. Plus all those expeditions and discoveries we've made since we started exploring beyond the castle.

I say we all need to get together and talk about this stuff. Share what you learned on the expeditions, talk about your experiences when the castle takes us off to a new place, heck, I'm even willing to mention my losses and gaining back memories from my first time here... I think it'd help a lot if we were all on the same page with stuff.

Just as an example, I heard recently some people don't even know about the pool in the castle. Or how about the stables, or that abandoned outdoor theater where I keep my boats? See, this is the kind of stuff we need to talk about. So I hope you'll all consider coming and just hashing everything out. Better to do it while the castle's recharging, or whatever it does in between all the crazy stuff. I'm thinking the courtyard might be big enough for all of us but it depends on who all is gonna show up.

Matrix 02 ~ [Dictated]

[There's a rustling as someone flips open a journal, before a voice comes from it.]

Whilst the castle's décor may seem rather vintage, I'm lead to believe that there may be some people out there that can help me.

[There's a clearing of his throat.]

I'm looking for someone who can build holographic emitters, capable of projecting a complex holo-matrix. Maybe even link them into the computer network here. While it is nice to be able to go out and about with my Mobile Emitter, past experiences show that the longer I stay activated, the more likely my matrix will de-stabilise and, unfortunately, I doubt anyone here can help recompile a complicated program such as myself. [Yes. He's so full of himself when he says that.] Anyone who can help would be most appreciated.

[Dictated/Action for Library]

[deductiongeek]

 [When Conan wakes, it is with a moment of dizzying disorientation. For a moment everything spins around him and all he can tell is that something is very wrong. It feels and smells like he is in the library, but everything is at the wrong angle. He could feel something pressing against his side. For a short desperate moment he wonders if the castle has shrunk around him. And in that moment, as he sputters and reaches out for something to hold on to, he accidentally knocks his journal open.

And then he sees his hands. They weren't the hands of a child, as he had become used to seeing. These were his hands.  Ther ones he hadn't seen in more than a year.

 It takes him only seconds to put together everything.  Somehow, for some reason, he had returned to his true age.

And he was in deep trouble. How could he explain this? Someone would ask where Conan was. Someone would get suspicious over Conan's distant relative appearing in the castle yet again. How many times could he get away with Shinichi appearing in the castle just as Conan vanished?

And who was the child lying up against him?]

W-what? How can this be happening?

[Shinichi abruptly sits up and tries to ease the child away so that he can stand up, but is interrupted as she wakes and begins to scream.]

[As the movement wakes her, Rise abruptly pushes away from the stranger, reflexively shrieking. But then she goes pale and wide-eyed, looking up at the huge stranger and surroundings.

Unable to think clearly, she stammers for a moment before shouting the only coherent thoughts in her head.]

Who are you?! Where's Foxy...?

[OOC: Conan and Rise have swapped ages. Open for anyone to bother them.]

[ ooc; If you aren't sure if your character would qualify, just PM me and I will say. Plus ones are welcome heck even party crashers are welcome. HERE is the thread for the supper (pile onto character threads/threadjack ahoy)! Elizabeth will be missing, which Anne will investigate afterward. :( ]

[She's in a place called Paradisa, and while it's beautiful, she's been warned about it by more than one person. Had she gone from one cage to another? It's an alarming thought. Things still don't make sense to her--she hasn't seen a tear, yet, but she supposes she's not looking in the right places. She's spent her time flipping through the pages while walking the grounds and city.

The journal was used for communication, she was told. Talking into a book is a strange feeling, but there's no harm in it, she supposes.]

Hello? Oh. [Okay, we've got it writing down her words. She assumes that's good!]

Booker? Are you here? It's me, Elizabeth. Please say something if you--hear this.

[A pause. Other people can hear this, too! That's exciting.]

And hello to everyone else. I've never seen anything like this before. And by this, I mean just about everything here. It's a lot to take in, but I think I've got a good grasp of the basics.
