[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.

[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. ]

Zelman

[lord_wizard]

[Ignoring the filter for the moment]

Why Zelman, that sounds vaguely like a motivational speech.

[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.

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.

[exanimatus]

It always does that. [a pause as he considers something.] I've said it in jest before, but maybe it's sentimental.

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?

Felix

[exanimatus]

Movement. I'm not picky.

[gevurah]

Well, Paris was surprisingly nice and quiet compared to some of the last world changes.

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?

[jammin_with_ed]

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

[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.

[exanimatus]

And that was when all of these "returning" residents showed up. One thing or another.

[exanimatus]

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

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

[exanimatus]

[he frowns for a moment... before deciding that sitting up, grabbing her in some sort of sideways hug and then yanking her back down is an excellent idea. now you're trapped.]

You haven't changed either. You're just as impossible to please as ever.

[hatesdolls]

[She narrows her eyes at him (though she's not yelling so it can be assumed she's more than okay with this), and then she's squirming to grab his journal from the floor. Somehow.]

Look who's talking.

[jammin_with_ed]

Inconveeeeeniently inconvenienced.

[exanimatus]

[...oh man, if he can get his journal back out of this without having to get up? have a little more wiggle room, Asuka.]

I do a perfectly good job of keeping myself occupied. I don't know what your problem is.

[exanimatus]

Exactly.

Zelman

[lord_wizard]

That can mean a lot of things. We've been exploring a lot more of the Dead Zone, for instance.

[gevurah]

Still, been pretty quiet for a while. Has this ever happened before?
