[And, quite suddenly...

You're holding your journal. If you already were holding it, congratulations. If you weren't... you are now! Somebody wants your attention.

And get this: it's empty.

The old one's kicking around somewhere, but for now, look at what Paradisa gave you!]

--Hey! I was reading that!

oink

[ardor]

Complain after we make sure nothing else is going on.

[ino]

--Huh?

[a pause]

Yours did that too?

o(- -)o ... pig face?

[ardor]

Mhm. It was all of a sudden.

no 8|

[ino]

Hmm.

[she'll pick up the journal and glance out the window]

I don't see or feel anything strange, but ...

<3

[ardor]

Not sure if that really means much here.

[ino]

There's usually some sort of thing before anything big starts ...

[frowns, flipping the pages around]

It's seriously all gone? What a pain in the ass ... !

[ardor]

What's stopping this from being the thing?

[Kallen's just scowling at the journal now.]

There could be worse things.

[ino]

Yeah, five years worth of information and memories gone. No big deal.

[ardor]

Yeah, because that's clearly what I said just now. [Annoyance is kicking in.]

[ino]

Well, it's more than a minor inconvenience, is all I'm saying.

[she'll be flipping through the pages again, before .... hitting the cover. MAYBE SMACKING IT WILL MAKE IT TURN BACK ON]

[ardor]

And I never disagreed with you! Harping at me won't bring the stuff back, so we can stop anytime.

[ino]

[a huff] I wasn't harping, especially not at you. The castle is just being especially obnoxious.

[ardor]

You fooled me, then. [Kallen sighs a little.] Moreso than usual.

[ino]

[sighs, before setting down her journal to search through her drawer. MOVING ON .....]

Well, I guess it's a good thing I kept some notes outside of the journal, too ...

[ardor]

Could be useful. Maybe record them in the new one, too?

[ino]

I think it'd be safer to just keep them in a separate book, to be honest. Especially if the journa is just going to get wiped again.

[eat_me_beat_me]

Not anymore you're not.

[pause] Really, though... what the fuck just happened?

[ino]

Beats me, but it looks like the castle decided we didn't need all that stuff that was in here.

[eat_me_beat_me]

Yeah, well it can go fuck itself. [sighs] This place just gets more and more weird.

[ino]

This really isn't that weird in comparison. It's just annoying, mostly.

[eat_me_beat_me]

I guess you're right. Still... to not only give us new journals but to be THAT blatantly obvious about it? A little self-serving even for a sentient magical castle, don't you think?

[ino]

It's always been self-serving, I think. Otherwise it wouldn't bother poking at us until it finds where it hurts.

[eat_me_beat_me]

Poking where it hurts. [she scoffs] It's good at that

But that doesn't mean we have to let it get away with this shit.
