one - [dictated]

[yellowdevil]

[He wakes with a start, legs thrashing as they struggle to escape the unfamiliar fabric -- when was the last time he'd slept on a bed with actual sheets? -- and the bed is the first thing he notices. The second thing he notices is the black hardcover book on the pillow next to him; he is drawn to it, and promptly picks it up and thumbs it through somewhat disinterestedly.
Then it is tossed onto the hardwood floor, where it lies opened and face-down.

He sways slightly in his anger, putting the pieces together as he scrutinizes every aspect of the room he's woken up in, and then in a voice (inadvertedly picked up by the journal) as cold as ice:]

Captain, the next time you decide to remodel our entire base structure under my nose, it would be well of you to alert me beforehand.
[A pause as he looks at the stone walls again, then--]

And next time, I advise you to choose something less tacky. Kuuu~kukuku...

[What even--]

Captain? You mean like a pirate?

[yellowdevil]

[startles, then squints at the book on the ground and picks it up, leafing through the contents a bit more slowly this time around]

No, captain as in the army rank. Who is this?
[shakes the journal experimentally]

[wagers]

[Boo, no other pirates? Bummer.]

Vriska! Who is this?

[yellowdevil]

Kururu Souchou, Sergeant Major of the Keroro Platoon. Mind telling me where, exactly, I am?

[He's sensing a bit of an attitude in this girl. Really good.]

[wagers]

Kur-rarar? Oh, okay! Yeah, you're in Paradisa.

[VERY GOOD.]

[yellowdevil]

That's KU-RU-RU. [Sliiight agitated tone.]
Paradisa? That's the name of this castle, then?

[wagers]

Ku-ruru? If you say so... [What is with these names?]

It sure is! It's kind a place you're going to have to get used to if you've never seen it before!

[yellowdevil]

It's a better name than Vriska. At least my name rolls off of the tongue, kuku!

How long have you been stuck here for, then?

[magicalwright]

Don't think the castle will appreciate being called tacky!

[yellowdevil]

Kukuku, I'm only being honest.

You mention a castle. Where am I, currently, and where is the nearest exit? [Already, he's planning on attempting to leave!]

[magicalwright]

Oh! A new person! [ She has SO got this. ]

You're in Paradisa! It's a castle! You can't leave! [ :) ]

[yellowdevil]

Pardon?
[He's currently inspecting a wardrobe in his room - which is filled with extremely small hooded jackets and sweaters, in just his size. That's... strange.]

Why not?

[magicalwright]

Nobody's really sure why! You just can't leave. The castle won't let you!

[yellowdevil]

Tch.
I take it that I'm not the first to have arrived here in this fashion.

[magicalwright]

If you mean unexpectedly and unwillingly, then nope, not the first! Everyone was brought here in the same way.

[yellowdevil]

Including you? Kuku... How full is this castle?

[amiable]

[ She's not sure what she just heard... ]

Remodeling what?

[yellowdevil]

Our base. When I had woken up this... afternoon, I had thought that our Sergeant had taken the liberties of remodeling our entire military base into resembling the interior of a castle.

But it seems I was mistaken.

[amiable]

[ A nervous laugh. ]

It's definitely not a military base! Do they remodel those anyway?

Are you okay?

[yellowdevil]

It's certainly within the captain's ability... and personality... to suddenly unleash a change like that, sure.

Me? Ha. Yes, I'm fine. I spent my whole day talking to a diary...

[amiable]

A moody captain?

[amiable]

Oh, this thing? It's a magical journal! Neat, huh?!

[yellowdevil]

Not really moody, more like... childish. Unpredictable, maybe.
Neat? [An audible scoff.]

Yeah, sure. Neat...
[The novelty of the whole "in a magical castle and ripped away from your universe" thing has pretty much worn off by now. Sucks for him!]

[amiable]

You don't think so? Ah... because you're new, huh? Did someone explain where you are yet?

[yellowdevil]

Mm. A Pekoponian female did, by the name of Trucy Wright.
How long have you been here, then? I heard some people have been here for years, kukuku...
