[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]

Yeah, but neither of them claim second so they don't count.

[psych0p0mps]

claiming it or not claiming it doesnt change the order of the comments you know
but i guess you can be second if you want

[wilder]

Oh I think it changes some things! What's the point in showing up to a bakery early if you are just going to stand there and not get the best bread, am I right~?

[psych0p0mps]

you can just wish for the best bread

[wilder]

...It's a metaphor. I don't really want bread right now.

[psych0p0mps]

haha i know i was just being facetious

[wilder]

Oh, right.

Well good! Then you get what I mean!

[psych0p0mps]

it does raise the question though
what would happen exactly if someone wished for the best bread ever
or best food item of choice ever i guess
would it really be the universal best one or would it take the request subjectively

[wilder]

Huh...that's a good question...

Oh! We can have a bunch of people wish for the best bread ever and see if we all get the same bread! That'd solve that question.

[psych0p0mps]

haha ok
first lets make sure the castle hasnt wiped anything else though

[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
