In the ballroom...

[For those residents that find themselves locked in the ballroom, it's really quite a sight to see.

Balloons and streamers and cardboard hearts are strewn all about the room, hanging from the ceiling and decorating those tall, locked doors. But even if the doors won't open, it's not the worst place a person could find themselves.

If you're tired, there is a section of the ballroom where Valentine-themed blankets, pillows, beanbags and blow-up furniture spread out across the floor. The lights are somehow significantly dimmer on this side of the room, allowing for easier sleep.

Along one wall is a seemingly endless array of snack foods, candies, hors d'oeuvre, and anything else someone might want to wish up. There's plenty of room! Nearby, a chocolate fountain stands as tall as the average resident, constantly flowing with delicious chocolate for dipping. Directly beside the fountain is a very, very large chocolate chip cookie shaped like a heart. The cookie alone could feed the entire ballroom if desired. Perhaps as you approach the snack area, you'll find yourself holding a tall, cold glass of pink lemonade.

For entertainment, there is plenty of music, movies and video games to satisfy all genres. Residents are free to wish up whatever they'd like! This is all about having fun with others, after all, and Paradisa's willing to allow (almost) anything to get those bonds forming.


TEAM BUILDING EXERCISE OF THE DAY

In the center of the room is a parachute of grand proportions, colored with stripes of red, pink and white. It's rather large, and cannot be handled by just a few people.

Residents may feel encouraged to run over and help lift the parachute. If enough people can band together and start up a few parachute games, the castle will reward the ballroom.

The reward: The ceiling of the ballroom will fade away, giving the illusion of sunny skies and fluffy clouds during the day, and brilliant stars at night.]

I would prefer tea, personally, though finding anything of substance would be welcome. [She looks over and offers a slight smile] I do not believe we have yet met.

No, don' think we have either. [he smiles back and offers her a hand] I'm Murphy.
inafadingcrown: (Warm as sunlight)

[personal profile] inafadingcrown 2012-02-16 05:58 am (UTC)(link)
[And she'll shake his hand, though the gesture still seems a little strange coming from her. Out of place, almost.]

I am called Galadriel. Have you been here long?
spiritusaequitas: (one step ahead one step behind)

[personal profile] spiritusaequitas 2012-02-16 06:00 am (UTC)(link)
Not really. Couple weeks... M'brother and I just moved out into town a few days ago, after bein' in the clinic. Didn't really wanna stay in here ... s'too weird.

[he starts idly hunting along the table until he finds the coffee and tea services] Here we go. Looks like there's coffee and tea.

[he pours a cup of tea, then holds it out to her so she can fix it up. ladies first, after all - Annabelle MacManus didn't raise rude boys]

[personal profile] inafadingcrown 2012-02-16 06:35 am (UTC)(link)
You have my thanks. [She takes the cup and adds a little milk and sugar, glancing back up at him while she talks.] True enough. I understand your wariness well and it is not misplaced. I, however, have chosen to remain here; when one seeks to better understand an enemy, it is ill advised to distance oneself from them.
saccharosium: (i know i'm perfect don't hate panty)

[personal profile] saccharosium 2012-02-16 09:07 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, here! [ She takes a cup bigger than hers, totally covered in cartoonish hearts, and fills it with water before giving it to Kirby. ]
saccharosium: (is butter a carb?)

[personal profile] saccharosium 2012-02-16 09:08 am (UTC)(link)
No. I think the castle just made a whole bunch of seating and expected us to make ourselves comfortable.
squartatore: (23.)

[personal profile] squartatore 2012-02-16 09:21 am (UTC)(link)
But I can investigate this. [or try to]

Yeah. The castle seems to be going for "bigger is better" today.
squartatore: (19.)

[personal profile] squartatore 2012-02-16 09:30 am (UTC)(link)
Being beaten over the head with its value probably won't count. [size of a tent? Smack in the middle of a room? Striking colours? The castle obviously wanted people to make use of the parachute -- those who knew what it was for, anyway]
squartatore: (09.)

[personal profile] squartatore 2012-02-16 09:32 am (UTC)(link)
Usually not. [she puts on her best serious face] Take my word for it.
blabs: (FLAP ♦ i am adorable)

[personal profile] blabs 2012-02-16 09:32 am (UTC)(link)
There sure are. All kinds. There are books to help you make clothes, if you want to do that. There are magazines that tell you about the latest styles and fashions and what celebrities are wearing. There are books about the history of fashion, too. History can be boring, a lot of the time, but not when you're learning about A-lines and ruffles!
blabs: (FLY ♦ dance dance)

[ she grins a little sheepishly. ] You're the boss.

How have you been?
squartatore: (19.)

[personal profile] squartatore 2012-02-16 09:36 am (UTC)(link)
[...not sure if want. dryly:] Terrifying.

[he isn't making it sound all too safe, okay]
squartatore: (23.)

[personal profile] squartatore 2012-02-16 09:41 am (UTC)(link)
[LOVE IS A BIG DEAL OKAY. A REALLY BIG DEAL]

Party fanatics, I guess. I've seen worse.

[and that's not even counting witch barriers]
modernholmes: (mmmm)

[personal profile] modernholmes 2012-02-16 01:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Mmm, that was the first thing I did.
modernholmes: (coffee)

[personal profile] modernholmes 2012-02-16 01:52 pm (UTC)(link)
...You are saying it is only observation?
inafadingcrown: (Warm as sunlight)

[personal profile] inafadingcrown 2012-02-16 04:53 pm (UTC)(link)
No. I attempt only to explain this in a manner you will understand.

It is not without reason my talents are oft referred to as having greater vision. And as with the sight you posses, I may see and I may look. I trust you understand the difference.
huffythedragon: (The fuck is this?)

[personal profile] huffythedragon 2012-02-16 08:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Really?

Well, I guess if you hurt your friends...maybe?
huffythedragon: (You're the pianoman)

[personal profile] huffythedragon 2012-02-16 08:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[He looks around, nodding]

Maybe tomorrow we'll get an elephant or something.
spiritusaequitas: (she's goin' up tonight)

[personal profile] spiritusaequitas 2012-02-16 10:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Good strategy. [he's never believed in talking down to kids. he offers a hand] Name's Murphy.
spiritusaequitas: everlyn on LJ (holding ground)

"If you know your enemies, and you know yourself, you will not be emperiled in a hundred battles." [he nods his agreement and moves to fix his coffee now that she's through, adding enough milk that he nearly overfills his mug] … Maybe once we settle in a bit I'll feel a little better about it. For now I'll stick to studyin' from a distance when I can.

[if she's "looking" at all, she'll pick up his caution .... not irrational paranoia, but the well-cultivated, easy, natural care of a warrior. he carries no weapons, but he's very aware of their surroundings]

[personal profile] childofkrypton 2012-02-16 11:25 pm (UTC)(link)
[Oh my Rao, you look terrifying to him. He's just going to be staring in shock from a ways away.]

[personal profile] childofkrypton 2012-02-16 11:27 pm (UTC)(link)
[What in the world... He's distracted from all the food by the pink... thing.]

[personal profile] childofkrypton 2012-02-16 11:28 pm (UTC)(link)
[WHOA, that is one big cat.]

I don't think you're supposed to be on top of the table...

[personal profile] detectivegenius 2012-02-16 11:35 pm (UTC)(link)
[Tim's not really interested in taking part in any activities either. He definitely doesn't like not being able to leave and with so many people around, it's hard to really do anything of his night job variety.

He's just wandering around, taking note of the people around, when his eyes pass over Galadriel.

Huh. She's... really pretty.]
