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. ]

What is it normally?

[jetset]

Somewhere between mellow and boring? But things can get crazy between one blink and the next. You just got here, so I'm not sure how you wanna know right off the bat...

[allaboutattitude]

Give me all you've got. Being prepared sounds pretty smart in this castle.

[jetset]

Well, your memories can get messed with, for one. You can go on these things called 'losses' for a while, where something about you changes, or something happens to you. Switching bodies, turning into cowpigs, losing your stuff... all of that's fair game. A couple months ago we got transported to this weird city. There are people who live out in the forests who've got some kind of problem with us, and they aren't shy about attacking.

[allaboutattitude]

Cowpigs?

[jetset]

Yeah... cowpigs. I guess you're from one of those weird worlds with 'horses' and 'cows' and 'lions', huh?

[allaboutattitude]

Horses and cows aren't weird, cowpigs are. Don't tell me you have ligers too.

[jetset]

No idea what a liger is. Is that an Earth thing?

[allaboutattitude]

Kind of. It's half lion and half tiger.

[jetset]

Good to know.

How'd we start talking about animals, anyway?

[allaboutattitude]

Uh- you started talking about cowpigs, if I remember correctly.

[jetset]

Hah, I guess I did. Hopefully you won't find yourself turning into one of those.

I'm Jet. What's your name?

[allaboutattitude]

I hope so.

Monica Dawson.

[jetset]

Welcome to Paradisa, Monica. Since I'm here already, you can ask more questions if you've got 'em.

[allaboutattitude]

I can't think of anything right now, to be honest. My mind's still drowning in everything I've already been told.

Actually- is there any place I should avoid here?

[jetset]

Places to avoid... [ he thinks about that for a second. ] Well, don't go into Insolitus unless you feel like getting lost. The forest isn't the safest place either, unless you know your way around it well enough.

[allaboutattitude]

Insolitus? Is that ... a town?

[jetset]

Not exactly. It's some kind of a labyrinth on the ninth floor. Or tenth, I'm not sure. People have gone in and come out, but like I said, it's a literal maze.

[allaboutattitude]

Huh. I'll be sure to avoid it, then. I think this castle will provide enough entertainment for a while.

[jetset]

Entertainment... heh. Yeah, that's a good word for it.

I think there's a jail somewhere around here too.

[allaboutattitude]

People don't break out of there often, right?

[jetset]

Actually, I think they do. Remember what I said about us being transported to different places sometimes?

[allaboutattitude]

... Great. So there are criminals just roaming around this place?

[jetset]

Maybe, maybe not. Who knows if they get transported back into their cells?

[ a little to himself. ] I should look into that.

[allaboutattitude]

I'll join you if you need some help with that.
