[Sonata had slept for part of the Gentlemen's attack and the other part been wide awake. She knew what happened and she wants to do something. So at some point this morning she opens her journal and stares at it for a minute.

She considered briefly what song to sing before going with her hear and, so, without pre-amble she starts singer. It's soft at first, no used to singing alone, but soon becomes more energetic. Enjoy your mini concert, Paradisa. ]

The wish we had on that day sleeps in the earth
And when the promised time comes, the sprout of hope will push forth
Back when we first met, our dream was but a seed
I wonder how long it will take for it to blossom into a flower

I offer these tears to you if it helps you to shine more brighter
From the sky where I've always been watching over you in silence,
Now I shall fall as rain

((OOC: For your listening pleasure the song can be found here! No music, just the lyrics for this post. These are the actual voice actors, so look for the one with the bunny ears if you like!))

❀ Episode 11 ❀ [Dictated]

[Filtered away from kids under 14]

[Rise's putting this under a filter, not because this doesn't affect kids, but there are certain kids she doesn't want hearing this. And she doesn't know everyone in the castle, so it's best to be safe and just keep it filtered to people close to her own age and above.]

I guess it's over, huh? They're gone...

[That's not how she wanted to begin, she's just thinking out loud. But now she's getting to the real reason she's putting her thoughts out to the castle as a whole again.]

... What's the point? Why do people keep dying? They'll just come back anyway, right? Why do they have to die at all?

[She gives a small sigh, and if you've never died and come back to life in Paradisa, that's all you'll hear. But she puts up one more filter.]

( People who have died in Paradisa and come back )

[Finding his way to the dining hall, Rodney sits himself down at a random chair at the largest empty table he can find. For a minute he just sits there tapping his fingers on the table... thinking.

He's not tried this wishing thing yet. He's not really he's fully sure how it works, but if the Castle has already taken payment from him he's damn sure he's not going to waste it. And, he's a scientist after all. What good would he be if he didn't experiment.

With that he clears his throat and begins...]

I wish for ice cream sundae, make it caramel, no hot fudge and whip cream and a cherry. Or better yet, make the ice cream pistachio, hmmm or maybe Neapolitan would be better.

Better yet, a banana split with a scoop of vanilla, chocolate, and ... not strawberry, um... how about chocolate chip?

Oh, now you know what would be good, chocolate chip cookie dough! It's been like forever since...

[Suddenly the table began filling with the different ice cream treats that Rodney mentioned and some he only had thought about but hadn't yet said.]

Uh, oops?! I think I may have gone a bit overboard. If anyone cares for some ice cream...

[lonenoble]

 Now that the situation's over with and I can speak again...

This is making me realize I need some better training and new training partners, as all the Spartans are now gone from the castle.  I can't be letting myself get rusty, and opponents are needed for that.

 This is for both hand to hand and firearms practice.  Let me know if you feel up to a challenge.  I'm sure I'm not the only one that could use it.
