[Galadriel;]

Did you figure it out?

[with the theory being if she didn't, she'll admit to not knowing what he's talking about.]



[Felix;]

I haven't heard from you in a while. Hm... [there's that laugh of his again.] I didn't scare you off, did I?



[Pubic;]

[and then there's some bored dictation for the rest of the castle.]

Give it another month or so, and I will have been here for four years. While I'll agree that spontaneously losing parts of yourself and being elaborately confined are obnoxious, I'm beginning to think the worst part is how people don't stick around long enough to get anything done. Four years, and so little to show for it.

But now, some former residents are arriving with their previous memories still intact. It's a bit like adding insult to injury, watching the powers-that-be pick and choose who remembers and who has to have things explained to them all over again.

If anyone's thinking [he stops himself mid-sentence and crosses that part out pretty thoroughly. not important.]

It took some time, but I did. Old your notes may be, but they are no less interesting for it. [And that little bit at the end may have been added to show she wasn't bluffing.] You have my thanks.

Galadriel

[exanimatus]

[this is why he likes you, missy.]

Great. I figured it'd be going to a good home, so to speak.

Zelman

[inafadingcrown]

[Because she's patient/curious/weird enough to poke through an entire book to figure out a hidden message?]

I am honored, for I suspect you do not give such praise often or lightly. [Since, you know, you kind of seem to hate almost everyone.]

[gevurah]

The castle, or whatever it is, might just be taunting those who've been here longest. [ You know, since this place is all about ruining people's lives. ]

[exanimatus]

Right on par with the usual. Can't let anyone get too comfortable.

[gevurah]

Wonder what the holidays were all about then. Odd for this place.

Zelman

[lord_wizard]

[Ignoring the filter for the moment]

Why Zelman, that sounds vaguely like a motivational speech.

Felix

[exanimatus]

[oh goodness. are we playing a game? C:]

You think so? Hah, well. People are welcome to take motivation from it if it makes something move around here.

Zelman

[lord_wizard]

Motivation can come in many forms. What would you even like to see done around here?

[Your move :|]

[hatesdolls]

[What up, Zelman. Wherever you are, you're pretty much getting plopped onto. Someone's bored and doesn't care that you might be having an important conversation over the journal.]

What are you doing?

1/2

[exanimatus]

[oof--! oh, there... goes the journal.]

[exanimatus]

[oh... it's on the floor, now. he'll never get it back. woe.]

--Nothing anymore, why?

[hatesdolls]

Because I'm bored, that's why. I was hoping you were doing something at least a little interesting, but I guess that was a mistake.

[jammin_with_ed]

But... Edward's happy Edward has Edward's memories back. Edward doesn't want to forget Disa-Disa.

[exanimatus]

Oh, don't misunderstand me. Feel free to enjoy yourself.

I just find the pattern of things to be terribly inconvenient.

/placeholds before bed <3

[ectobabble]

Yeah, it's getting even weirder around here - and it's only been a year for me. I can't even imagine how much you must've seen change in four!

[hi. remember that conversation we were having earlier? LET'S CONTINUE IT. :D]

/tucks this placeholder in all cozy

[exanimatus]

[good god how does he keep ending up talking to this guy? D:]

...The place has certainly gotten bigger, I'll give it that.

[heloise]

So the powers-that-be decided their tasks are incomplete.

[exanimatus]

Hm? That's one theory. [a short, thoughtful pause.] And not a bad one, either.

[mal_addict]

Maybe you should take up a hobby that doesn't involve collecting ugly couches and lamps.

[exanimatus]

What's wrong with collecting ugly couches and lamps?

[and they aren't ugly shut up. B|]

[fishy_go_byebye]

Try to lose the jail.

[exanimatus]

Is that presenting or suggesting?

[guiding]

I am sure if you truly consider it, you will have achieved more in these four years than you first believe.

[exanimatus]

Hm. You're certainly optimistic this evening, aren't you?
