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.]

[warily approaches the parachute and holds up a corner of it to look underneath. It's too huge for much to be revealed, though]

[Cole is milling about in the ballroom, mainly wandering around the parachute with his hands in his pockets, eyeing the lump of fabric with distinct distaste.]

This reminds me of those team-building exercises the office used to make me go on when I was ADA.

[More suspicious eyeing]

[Without warning, a thirteen-year-old troll leaps on top of the parachute and gives the red part a great big lick!]

Delicious!
demontobeloved: (orly)

[personal profile] demontobeloved 2012-02-11 09:09 am (UTC)(link)
[Cole just stares, surprised for a moment, before he recovers his composure.]

Uh, I don't think you're supposed to lick that.

[what a great time to be back to his normal age, really]

It's a game, I think. We used to do it in gym class.
squartatore: (23.)

[personal profile] squartatore 2012-02-11 10:38 am (UTC)(link)
[looks up!]

Mine didn't have anything like it. What are we supposed to do?

A bunch of people pick up the parachute, then you quickly get under it and sit on it. If you did it right, it should form a dome over your head.
squartatore: (18.)

[personal profile] squartatore 2012-02-11 10:49 am (UTC)(link)
But we're, like, indoors.

[no seriously she isn't getting the point at all]

[Percy gives her a blank look] What's that got to do with the game?

[shrug] I guess I just don't see what having a giant plastic sheet over my head does for me when there's a roof.

But anyway...it's pretty unwieldy. How many people does it generally take to move one?

[Conan looks at the decorations and shudders. This was almost like being back at Teitan Elementary again. He makes a brief inspection of the snack table and retrieves a plate of vegetables and cheeses before locating a seat against the wall.]

[At first glance someone might think that the castle has brought an ancient craggy stump of a tree into the room. But come closer and you might realize that he is looking back at you.]

[personal profile] teds_out 2012-02-11 02:05 pm (UTC)(link)
[Yep, just kinda standing here looking at the tree-

OH GOD IT HAS EYES.

Ted literally jumps, wide-eyed.

...

...

Cautiously:]


Hi?
twisted_baroque: (What's that?)

[personal profile] twisted_baroque 2012-02-11 02:10 pm (UTC)(link)
[well this is strange even for him. after checking that the door really wouldn't open, Dextera wandered over to check out the snack table and soon found himself by the chocolate fountain.

he really has no idea what it's for so the mute's just staring at it. this is really strange...]
teds_out: (nope stopped caring)

[personal profile] teds_out 2012-02-11 02:12 pm (UTC)(link)
[W e l p, this is interesting. Not entirely sure if he liked it-- the past few days had been a bit off of him for reasons, and he wasn't entirely sure if he was in the mood to socialize.

...

Who am I kidding? Ted always wants to socialize. It's just a matter of whether or not you're going to end up getting ranted at.

He lingered uncertainly next to the food, waiting until someone tried it. When there appeared to be no ill effects (like sudden, violent sloppy makeouts), he indulged himself a little.

Damnit, castle. He was just getting back into shape, too.]

[ look out, dextera! someone just poked you in the back. ]

[ nudge is probably the first person to try something. she looks across at ted and gives him the thumbs up. ]

It's nice to know that the castle is cool with giving us candy for breakfast.
treeshepherd: (in thought)

[personal profile] treeshepherd 2012-02-11 03:42 pm (UTC)(link)
[He blinks, coming out of a half-doze.]

Hrrrm?
twisted_baroque: (What...?)

[personal profile] twisted_baroque 2012-02-11 03:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[he jumps a little and turns around to look at Nudge. yes you did manage to surprise him.]
teds_out: (seeing people fly will never not be weir)

[personal profile] teds_out 2012-02-11 04:08 pm (UTC)(link)
[That tree made a noise. It could have been a confused mumble.

Or, Ted could finally be losing his mind after having been in Paradisa for almost a year.

He's not sure what's worse: a walking, talking tree for a resident, or him losing his mind.]


Oh god.
teds_out: (unborn son i am disappoint)

[personal profile] teds_out 2012-02-11 04:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, hey, Nudge, it's been awhile!

[He makes a face at the buffet.]

Sureee. It's really nice to know if you don't plan on staying a somewhat reasonable weight.
blabs: (GLIDE ♦ light up your life)

[personal profile] blabs 2012-02-11 04:29 pm (UTC)(link)
[ hehehehehehehe. she sticks out her tongue at him and then giggles apologetically. ]

I guess I surprised you, huh?
blabs: (ALOFT ♦ the best medicine)

[personal profile] blabs 2012-02-11 04:31 pm (UTC)(link)
It has, hasn't it?

[ she snickers a little as she eats another chocolate. ]

Lucky for me I'm a kid and I've got super-metabolism and I can eat whatever I want. Must be hard, being a grown-up.
twisted_baroque: (Hun?)

[personal profile] twisted_baroque 2012-02-11 04:42 pm (UTC)(link)
[he pauses before taking out his journal.]

A litte, but I should be used to it. [but whether or not he means Nudge or something else is up for debate.] Do you know why we're here?

[Murphy, for his part, wakes up sprawled across a few bean bags -- and his hand goes instantly, instintively, for the rosary around his throat]

Christ, not again --

[and then he looks around and realizes he's just plain back in the castle, and sighs. scrubbing a bleary hand over his eyes, he sits up. it won't do him any good to bitch and complain about how he'd fallen asleep a decent distance away, OUTSIDE, in the church ...

so he gets up and plods over to the tables, in his bathrobe, and starts surveying the food. nope. no breakfast]


... Doesn't this place believe in hash and eggs?
