_{[brunch club filter; WRITTEN]}

Hello. My name is Kalinda Sharma. However, you might have only known me as "Leela Tahiri". I'm filtering to you all because I have since changed my name, and while none of are nothing more than acquaintances by way of an unfortunate loss, I'll have to ask you to not call me that. I would also appreciate it not becoming public knowledge either. Thanks.




[With that out of the way, Kalinda's staring the journal idly. She doesn't particularly like broadcasting herself in this thing, but she sure likes scouring it for information! And you know, idle chatter.]

This place never ceases to surprise me-- and this is coming from someone who was rarely surprised back home. People are often predictable, and read easily at that. As different as we all seem to be, it's oddly strange how there are more similarities than one might think. There's just these universal truths... I guess here, they literally transcend universes.

Not to give in to the philosophical, by any means.

That being said, I have to ask what it is about this place that has surprised you the most. Be it the company we're sharing or what this place is capable of. Whatever. I'd hate to be caught off guard by the next extraneous circumstance.

Waking up as a dragon was a bit surprising.

[ He sounds a bit hoarse and pained, and maybe a bit sleepy. ]

[kalinda]

[Oh, wow.]

What was it like, waking up as another creature? Did you retain your mind, or...

[radiantwingedone]

Didn't notice 'till didn't fit out the door of room, t'be honest... Flying was harder than it looks.

[kalinda]

I wouldn't be surprised. Appendages you've never utilized before? A considerably different form? I'd think it would be awkward to get used to any of it.

LEELA

[hedonic]

[ That name is written in bold letters, because she's a trampy troll who is surprised here? ]

But I feel I've gotten so close to Leela. Who is this Kalinda you speak of? She is not my true...clubbing love. [ Ahahah if there is one modern word she pulled from that loss it is clubbing. Go figure. ]

ECHINDA

[kalinda]

[She remembers your name, too! B( You butt.]

How did I know you were going to be difficult?

Kalinda or whatever

[hedonic]

Oh sweetie, I can also be very easy going.

Come now, what's in a name to weigh it down so much? I'm curious.

[fuckinghateadrenaline]

A pre-teen holding another man in a time bubble.

[kalinda]

[What even...]

Was it anything like the made for TV movie?

[fuckinghateadrenaline]

You'll have to be a bit more specific. I don't really watch TV.

Placeholderrrrr

Sometimes I wonder if this castle is just one giant extra-dimensional psych ward. I'm pretty sure ninety-eight percent of us here wouldn't get away with a clean bill of mental health.

So long as you keep that theory in mind, it's a lot harder to be surprised by anything that goes on here.

brings you some breadsticks and a sample wine

I'm attempting to desensitize it by imagining everything I've seen in movies and television and read in books coming together in one single place. Whatever I've soaked up in media is the normality here and I shouldn't be surprised if, say, it rains meatballs or there's a race of mole people beneath the world's crust.

[Crazy, she knows.]

awwww yis

[whichwayyoulean]

Let me know if that helps ward off the next wave of insanity.

...I wonder if it could rain meatballs here?

I won't tell.

Forever!

[kalinda]

Thank you. I appreciate it.

[persequor]

You're welcome.

[lightbranded]

I found it rather surprising to be here again.

[kalinda]

Did you do anything in your previous stay that didn't seem like you? Or was most of your surprise in the fact that you don't remember anything?

[lightbranded]

More, I think, that I have been returned to this place again. Its rather an odd experience.

[lord_wizard]

Castles did not house the ocean inside of a room, for one.

[kalinda]

[A chuckle goes here.]

That's definitely one that defies all logic. For one, indeed.

[lord_wizard]

Magic I am used to, but it couldn't do anything like that.
