Anybody care to give a girl the 411 on this place? Micah, Nana, Damon are any of you out there? Somewhere?

... Well this is probably a long shot but Bob Bishop are you out there? Or Mohinder? This is Monica D. 

I really hope I'm not just writing this to myself... [ the scratched out line is still legible. ]

apprehensively dictated lmao

[allaboutattitude]

[ a few moments of silence

then... ] Like this?

heh encouragingly dictated :D

[spongetastic]

Yeah, exactly. If you ever want it to stop, just close the journal.

all this crazy futuristic yet prehistoric technology is confusing

[allaboutattitude]

Alright. Thanks, Peter. [ already her new favorite person ]

[spongetastic]

No problem. ... Listen, if you need anything just ask. I always have my journal open.

[allaboutattitude]

You got it.

So what are we supposed to do here? Is there a special purpose for us?

[spongetastic]

Some people take jobs here. There are a lot of restaurants and stores in the city, and some in the castle too. I'm personally working in the clinic.

[allaboutattitude]

Is there a way to contact anybody on the outside? My family's probably going to be worried if I don't show up soon.

[spongetastic]

I wouldn't worry about it. This is sort of an alternate dimension. No matter how long you stay here, whenever you get back home it'll be like no time passed.

[allaboutattitude]

You sure?

[spongetastic]

I'm sure. I was back home for a while and no time had passed at all. Of course, I didn't remember being in Paradisa until I got back. It's a strange system.

[allaboutattitude]

How long have you been here?

[spongetastic]

Two years and a month.

[allaboutattitude]

... Is that the average time spent in this place?

[spongetastic]

I don't know. Some people have been here longer, some not as long. Some leave and come back again.

[allaboutattitude]

Weird. I guess this castle just likes you a lot.

fft wrong journal

[spongetastic]

I guess so.

lmao happens to me all the time so awk.

[allaboutattitude]

So what's your experience been with these losses I've been hearing about?

:D;

[spongetastic]

Some of them are just inconvenient, and others... It can get dangerous. I've seen the castle bring out the worst in people.

[allaboutattitude]

That doesn't happen often, does it?

[spongetastic]

Once can be enough with some peole here. There are people with incredible powers, and when the castle manipulates them it can get deadly.

[allaboutattitude]

What kinds of powers do people have here?

Monica

[spongetastic]

This is a filter. When I put your name down like this, it means only you can see it.

I have to ask you: do you have an ability? Or maybe you know someone who does? You know Bob and Mohinder, so I have to ask.

Peter

[allaboutattitude]

That's pretty handy.

[ a pause ] Yeah, I have one. Do you?

Monica

[spongetastic]

I do.

Peter

[allaboutattitude]

What is it? Mohinder said mine was adoptive muscle memory.
