[ Hello, Paradisa! Have one little half-elf suddenly sitting on his butt, very frazzled, in the middle of the Lobby, head turning this way and that, taking in the sights.

He looks confused; as though he's not used to being alone. He doesn't see the open journal beside him, not at all, still awestruck by this castle. It was clear that the child wasn't used to such places- he had been to a castle before, but he felt terribly out of place... and he still did. ]

... Guys?

Hey, guys, where are you? [ He pauses for a moment, before letting out a short bark of a very sarcastic laugh. ] Okay, this isn't funny, you know.

[ Soon after, he notices the journal by his side, picking it up, reading the words... wait. He had just said that! ]

What's going on here?

[And for that, you get a smack in the head, Zelos, which is very audible over the Journal.]

Don't make me smack you, Idiot!

[wilder]

Yep! I guess I'm so charming they just can't resis-

[wilder]

[And then he's smacked in the head] - And hey ow! I thought we were sharing our losses!

[pocketmage]

[ Don't mind while Genis snickers over the journal. ]

Of course you're the one with a loss that isn't so bad.

So how do you get all of your stuff now? [ he teases. ]

[wilder]

[By doing things that are not suitable for your young ears. Or Martel. ]

What can I say? I'm just too awesome for a castle to mess with that badly.

And I get stuff the same way everyone else does, by wishing from the castle. [A lie, he only uses wishes when he has to and the ghosts NEVER] Which you can do, by the way.

[heal_theworld]

Though, wishing isn't always good, since you never know where the things come from. Or if you have to pay it back to the Castle.

[ninjainviolet]

[But the 19-year-old is okay to know? Or at least guess? Gee... But, she's not gonna say anything.]

Since when did you go from "Great" to "Awesome"? [sarcasm] Think you can go higher? [/sarcasm]

Yeah, you don't want to overdo things, and sometimes the wishes aren't even granted.

[pocketmage]

Huh... yeah. This castle's kind of shady- wishing for things sounds like it might ask for payment later on.

Has it ever done anything like that? ... and why wouldn't it grant some wishes?

[wilder]

Sure can! There's excellent, exceptional, splendid, magnificent, distinguished, incredible, exquisite, hellacious, marvelous, adroit, supreme, distinctive, sterling and my personal favorite- drop dead sexy~! ♥

I mean I guess there's more I could say, but you get the idea!

[wilder]

[And now that he's done trolling Sheena, he'll turn back to the journal]

It made people who wished a lot sick once, but they got better after a few days. And it doesn't grant big stuff- like Rheairds. Or people or weapons.

[heal_theworld]

You can use it for small things, of course. I once asked the Castle to fix a door I had kicked down and it did it. It did a pretty good job, I'll admit.

[...Yes, she really did kick down somebody's door.]

[ninjainviolet]

[She should have known.]

2/2

[ninjainviolet]

But you know, you're right.

You're incredibly annoying, distinctly Idiotic, and a supremely Stupid Chosen!

And don't even get me started on that last one!

[Switching gears.]

Sometimes, Genis, it also can't find what it is you're wishing for--almost as if it has no reference point.

[pocketmage]

[ Genis can't help but snicker a bit at Sheena's Zelos-bashing, but he quickly focuses on the important stuff. ]

... So, basically wishing for things is out of the question.

Is there food here, at least? [ he asks, curious. ]

[wilder]

Distinctly idiotic and supremely stupid? Oh come on, Sheena! Now you're just being redundant!

[To Genis]

Kitchen's on the first floor!

[pocketmage]

So anyone can just go eat and stuff, no matter what their class is?

[ This is so weird. All of the fellow Aselians probably understand his bewilderment... ]

[ninjainviolet]

[This one does.]

Anyone can, Genis. Doesn't matter what race at all.

[Hesitates.]

Although, I've been warned about the microwave.

[pocketmage]

[ Have a bewildered face that you cannot see. ]

What's a microwave?

[wilder]

A microwave is a terrible contraption that makes horrible food. Don't listen to the Earth people if they try to tell you otherwise.

[ninjainviolet]

Wait.... Zelos, you actually used it? You cooked something? [A beat.]

Are you sure the food tasted horrible because of it and not the person using the thing?

[wilder]

[Very sarcastically] No Sheena, I decided to forgo eating for the past eleven months because I couldn't be bothered with it. [Sheesh] Of course I cook.

[And he's....perfectly 100% average! tyvm ]

But last I checked, not even Raine's a bad enough cook to get a monster summoned. And I know I'm better than her. There's something wrong with that thing!

[ninjainviolet]

That's not what I meant, you idiot! I figured you'd find someone to do it for you! [You know, like in school?]

Wait. A monster was summoned with it? No one told me about that! [And Raine's cooking would probably keep them away.]

[pocketmage]

[ He listens to the banter, finding himself chuckling a little. ]

Heh, that thing sounds kind of dangerous... are you sure you're using it right?

[wilder]

Uh, did you forget my loss already?

Yep, a monster. And seriously, who cares if I was or not? Something good should not be summoning monsters!

[ninjainviolet]

Oh please! Like that would really stop you!

So what happened to the monster? And why aren't there more, since other people probably use that thing?
