[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!]

Comments

[wilder]

Right, right...I guess that's the more important thing right now.

[psych0p0mps]

can you check the nameplates on your floor against the directory on castlenet real quick?

[wilder]

Sure- except I can't get on castlenet.

But I can read off the names on my floor for you!

[psych0p0mps]

uhh ok that works too

[she's already got her computer out anyway, so what the hell.]

alright shoot

[wilder]

[Some footsteps and a door shutting as he walks down the hall. Starting at the end now! ]

Starting at 401... Anders, 402's empty, Will 403, Jilly 404, Ino 405, Mindfang 406, Legato 407 (which I hope is empty), Elena 408, Nanako 409, Kaine 410, Vera...leedaine 411, 412's vacant, Lucy 413, JJ 414, 415's empty, Sollux 416, Zoe 417, Harmony 418..Man I had no idea how cute sounding hunny names are on this floor, John 419, Billy 420, Damian and Bruce 421, Anthony 422, the great and wonderful Zelos Wilder at 423, Mindy 424, Sylvanas 425, Castiel 426, Nora 427, Mark 428, Rose 229...and the darling angel Colette at 430~!

How is it?

[psych0p0mps]

looks right to me
although rose already gave me the fourth floor rundown sorry
if id known you were on the same floor i wouldnt have made you get up

[a short pause, then...]

wait theres actually a door labeled mindfang?
are you a hundred percent sure about that

1/2

[wilder]

Really? Talk about a wasted effort...

[wilder]

Huh?

[He takes a few steps back to check again] Yep! Mindfang's in 406 alright.

[psych0p0mps]

thats a little bizarre
i mean im not surprised the castle could bring someone here who lived centuries ago
its pretty well established that thats a walk in the collective lawn ring for a being of its power
im more surprised that shes a real person

[wilder]

Huh...

[That...is something he can relate to; but he won't say anything about it]

Whose she supposed to be, exactly?

[psych0p0mps]

im not totally sure
shes sort of a semihistorical semimythological character in my planets ancient folklore
my friend vriska made a roleplaying character based on her though
so i may have actually talked to her at one point and thought it was just vriska fooling around

[wilder]

Looks like not!

That is, assuming it's not a fake nameplate, anyway.

[psych0p0mps]

ive never heard of anyone faking a nameplate before
i guess the appropriate thing to do here is check to see if vriskas room is still occupied
but i dont want to deal with her right now
...
or ever

[wilder]

Why? What's up with her?

[psych0p0mps]

shes kind of a huge bitch

[wilder]

Oh.

Wellll, then don't look into it. What's the worst that can happen if there's an ancient figure running around without you knowing about it?

[psych0p0mps]

...

[Weeeell, Mindfang could turn out to be as bad as and/or in cahoots with Vriska and possibly have similar and/or identical powers ...]

maybe ill just take a completely unrelated vacation from the castle

Aradia

[wilder]

Seriously?

You had me live with and spy on a mind controlling killer all through Paris and you won't even check someone's room?

Sure know how to make a guy feel expendable, Aradia~

Zelos

[psych0p0mps]

[ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff he's right though.]

ugh fine fine ill check!

[boy if she wasn't flying she'd be stompin her feet all up them stairs.]

to be fair though
she is also a mind controlling killer
so we are even after this ok?

Aradia

[wilder]

Excuse me? I was a male model in Paris. The city of love and gorgeous hunnies. Hunnies, that I could've had any number of them. Maybe even at once if I played my cards right.

Instead? I'd turn down their offers and headed back to the apartment almost every night where I spent my evenings watching Legato do literally absolutely nothing and playing Clue with Peter. Do you have any idea how boring that game gets after round 17? Well add about 20 more rounds and a few rounds of Scrabble and that about sums up my vacation in Paris.

But I'm a nice guy and you sound kinda cute for a kid...so I say we'll be even when you play 10 rounds of Clue and a round of Scrabble. Ok?

Zelos

[psych0p0mps]

[asfkldksfdk now she feels... kinda guilty lol... she hadn't made it to half the museums she wanted to, and imagine if she'd been stuck at home that whole time grubsitting Vriska or something!]

sorry
i didnt think about that
and i didnt mean to ruin your trip :(
...
do i have to play them all at once?

Aradia 1/2

[wilder]

[Don't feel guilty Aradia! He still probably sneaked out some nights anyway when he couldn't take it anymore. And he actually has to think now since he didn't expect you to agree or apologize]

Hmmm...

Aradia

[wilder]

I got it!

Once a week, at my friend's place I stay at sometimes. [Most of the time] If we can get Lloyd and Colette to join, it'd be much more fun!

[Cause god would Lloyd suck at Scrabble and that's funny]

Just one condition though!

Zelos

[psych0p0mps]

[:0 that actually sounds rather agreeable! and she's met Colette, that girl is nice.]

whats that

Aradia

[wilder]

Don't mention what I did?

I kinda...didn't tell them anything about it and..well- they'd just worry. [Or worst, be disappointed...]
