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 think I saw some granola bars on the other end of the table.

[This small child is standing on the tips of his toes as he tries to reach a platter on the table. His plate is filled with the least sugary options available.]

... Unless they come in hash 'n egg flavor, m'not interested. [he smirks] I like my food t' taste like food, thanks.

... So what's the deal with this, anyway? Some kinda retarded lock-in?

[With a jump he manages to get high enough to hang onto the table as he retrieves a muffin.]

Most likely. I haven't seen anything like this happen before. But the door is locked, and from the entertainments provided I think we are expected to socialize.

[Murph blinks in surprise at how big the kid's vocabulary is. he's hardly one to hold that sort of thing against anyone, though, and he smiles] Yeah? ... Scoped the whole place out, have ya? [he grabs a muffin of his own]
modernholmes: (mmmm)

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

Good strategy. [he's never believed in talking down to kids. he offers a hand] Name's Murphy.
modernholmes: (sitting)

Nice to meet you Mr. Murphy. [Conan shakes his hand.] My name is Conan Edogawa.

Well, that's good. ... I still can't believe this place takes kids and throws 'em into all of this.
modernholmes: (bad news)

Being a kid isn't much of a defense against crimes of this scale.

Isn't much defense against a lotta crimes, unfortunately.
