[as with others who had been recovering from lobster attacks, Shizuru came to, and made like a tree once she could stand and walk. (Though she did at least put a note on the bed she previously occupied in the clinic which says "thank you for the assistance," to be accountable for herself.)

Now back in her room, she's cleaning up the mess created by the lobster ...and herself when it was barging everywhere, throwing all damaged items into a trash bag hanging off the door handle. The furniture can still be salvaged, if barely, but the carpet is ripped up in several places -- it's good that she isn't expecting any visitors, or they might trip.

A rolled-up piece of paper sails through the air, missing the bag by a mile and landing a small distance outside. Any curious passersby will find...a PSA-ish poster that wouldn't look out of place in a train station]

I don't even recall owning anything like this. [castle, what are you implying here.

And even later, have a written message in the journal:]

Would anyone happen to know how garbage disposal works here? I assume it is generally handled by the ghosts [since they have business in ALL THE THINGS], but I haven't come across a furnace or other means by which our waste can be gotten rid of.

Just wondering. [could the mystical rubbish dimension exist?!]

[ooc: available in person or over the journal. the poster roughly translates to saying "groping is a crime, molestation will not be abided" and a reminder for those subjected to it to approach staff/security (艸) it is an actual thing.]

[supes]

From what I've figured out, examining the walls, it heads to a main chute and disappears underground.

[deterrence]

Like a landfill, you mean? How disappointingly mundane.

[sexyhitchhiker]

[stepping over that roll of paper (whatever it was) and leaning against the doorframe]

You could just come back later and hope the ghosts cleaned it up.

[deterrence]

Pretty sure I'd come back to an empty room, if that were the case.

[she doesn't have that many personal possessions as it is, and the First Gens dropping by back then destroyed most of them :< the lobster just had to do a number on what was left]

[sexyhitchhiker]

[frown]

Did you have much in here, other than your weapons?

[deterrence]

Nothing of exceptional importance. But getting replacements would be a pain.

dictated

[adorbs]

Ah... you're okay!

[supes]

I'm not sure about that part. It goes down, but we don't know where, exactly, it goes.

[amiable]

Magic?

[deterrence]

If I may ask, what methods did you use on the walls to discover this?

[they're all pretty solid to her...]

dictated

[deterrence]

[it takes a moment for her to recall the circumstances under which she last heard this voice, and when she responds, she sounds slightly sheepish]

Yes. I hope I did not worry you too much.

dictated;

[deterrence]

Probably. But magic manifests itself in various ways, doesn't it?

dictated;

[amiable]

I... guess so! But the garbage in the castle goes away when we don't notice it. If it was burning somewhere, we'd smell it?

dictated;

[deterrence]

All the better that we don't, I suppose. There must be plenty of waste with so many people.

Whatever the castle is doing, it's doing it right.

dictated

[adorbs]

It's okay... I'm just glad everyone is better.

[sexyhitchhiker]

[hm] Anything I can help with?

dictated; 1/2

[amiable]

Ehh... so gross.

also dictated forever /lazy

[amiable]

[ Followed by a pause. It's not often she hears people say nice things like that about the castle. ]

It's keeping us healthy, at least! If it didn't handle the garbage, we could get sick.

[deterrence]

Stand there and look pretty. Or sit, that'd be fine too.

[a pause, then her tone takes a turn for the contrite] I think I should apologize. For...you know. [that dumb coma]

dictated

[deterrence]

We owe it to the medical personnel, really.

I don't think I got your name earlier -- I'm Shizuru.

and ever, lol

[deterrence]

[how do you get by being so cute, Uru]

True. Seems kind of amazing how it simply disappears like that, though, as if there are collection leprechauns hiding...waiting for our backs to turn...

[and now she's just kidding]

[amiable]

[ Why did you say leprechauns. Now Uru wonders... ]

Leprechauns? We have those here?

[deterrence]

If there are talking horses, why not leprechauns?

[watching, waiting, in the shadows...]

[amiable]

But I've never seen a four leaf clover here!

... Or a rainbow?!

[deterrence]

[hasn't seen any four-leaf clovers herself, but -- not even a rainbow? SO DEPRIVED... this needs to be fixed!!]

I must tell you if I ever encounter one. [or sprinkle water over your window on a sunny day or something]
