[Goku]

I see one of those friends of yours arrived. People are disappearing, though... You had better not let him out of your sight, hm? Then we can meet.

[/Goku]

[Pharos]

I found someone. I was waiting to see if she was of any use... It might take more time than I realized, but the two of them are starting to behave a little more.

[/Pharos]

[Sakura]

Have you been kidnapped?

[/Sakura]

[Lucrezia]

I opened many doors, but I haven't been able to find the right one. Maybe the timing isn't right...like with my sister... But I'll find him again.

People are missing, though, and have yet to return. You should stay with somebody who can protect against the supernatural. If they can't defeat me, then they're useless, so make sure they're strong or I'll need to take their place.

[/Lucrezia]

First your children, then your friends... Are any of you going to do anything about it? Here I thought Paradisa was supposed to house some powerful sorts.

[ ooc; I didn't get the chance to post it back when like I wanted, but Joshua's been in a sort of daze since the babies left up until now, and in his attempt to find his kid again, he's been randomly opening doors in the hopes of finding him again. This includes different types of doors; closets, even castle bedroom doors. So feel free to assume Joshua may have done that to your character and then left without a word, or totally ignore it. It's a small scale, and the doors he picked were completely random. ]

Of course they won't.

Besides, what can they do? Level it to the ground?

[ofhope]

They have before. Although not completely...

[cheerupemoborg]

What did that accomplish?

[ofhope]

Not much of anything in my opinion. But I wasn't involved.

[cheerupemoborg]

Then logically we can assume doing it a second time also wouldn't accomplish anything.

Joshua

[heloise]

[ Lucrezia--doesn't know how to respond at first. She presumes most people here would be useless according to him. ]

I want to come with you.

Lucrezia

[ofhope]

[ Got that right. ]

Why?

Joshua

[heloise]

Because I can help you find him, and I would be safer with you.

Lucrezia

[ofhope]

The latter is true, but I don't see how you'd be of any help.

[deterrence]

[do anything, as in "bring them back"? It wouldn't be too much to assume that at least some residents want to. Just not her. Instead, she'll leave a page number]

Some are trying.

[ofhope]

You mean they're doing what they're told to.

[deterrence]

Is that so bad, as long as it works?

[ofhope]

It is if they don't think about why it's so convenient. What the point is, or ever was.

[prettyknives]

From what I see, they spend a lot of time panicking and shouting at each other. Not much actually gets accomplished.

[ofhope]

Well that's how it usually goes... They can be organized when rushed in an emergency, but give them enough time together and it dissolves into squabbles and stand-offs.

[prettyknives]

I've noticed. And before long they'll fall into lethargy and start complaining about being bored.

It's really pathetic.

[ofhope]

And you like to do things differently?

Goku

[goldencirclet]

I'm never letting him go.

Goku

[ofhope]

[ Wow that's intense. ]

Is he the most important to you?

Joshua

[goldencirclet]

He's my sun.

Goku

[ofhope]

[ Poetic. Joshua can appreciate it. ]

What does that make you?

[encourage]

What?

[ofhope]

Just checking.

[encourage]

Hello would have worked just as well.

"Have you been kidnapped?" Really?

filter;

[ofhope]

A bunch of people were recently kidnapped. It's not an odd question.
