Sixtieth Sip

Perhaps we all need a lesson in 'things not to do in Paradisa', because clearly you're not learning. So let me give you a helpful little hint:

If there's something new in the middle of the lobby, chances are it's the castle's doing and going near it will make something stupid and/or dangerous happen to you.

I mean, honestly, given it's a mirror, I'd of hoped you lot would have been more wary of it, given mirrors were a big part of the last problem we had. If you're incapable of learning such things, I suggest getting yourself a buddy who is.

That's pretty much it. They were the opposite in personality, or somesuch to those they swapped with.

[ol_northy]

[...Maybe South was him. :|]

That could go for better or worse, there. Sounds like it went worse.

[mal_addict]

That's largely where it went. And embarrassing, I suppose. But that's a regular feeling around here.

[ol_northy]

I just got here, so I'm hoping there's not too much trauma right off the bat. I'm hearing nothing but interesting things so far.

[mal_addict]

It's not always trauma. Depends on when you get here, how lucky you are with what mood the castle is in and all that.

[ol_northy]

It's moody? I mean, is it something sentient?

[mal_addict]

That's the popular theory. I still think a wizard is behind it all.

[ol_northy]

That's fun. I was hoping for something a little more benign.

[mal_addict]

Sorry to dash those hopes against the wall.

[ol_northy]

Oh, I'm... a little used to things being odd. I'll just go with the flow.

[mal_addict]

Then you'll fit in just fine here, I'm sure.

[ol_northy]

Let's hope. I'd hate to make a problem worse.

[mal_addict]

Then good luck. You'll probably need it.

[ol_northy]

I'm sure I will. It doesn't seem like one of those places where skill is going to trump luck. Does that sounds about right?

[mal_addict]

That's exactly right. Well done, you've been paying attention.

[ol_northy]

I try. Not a lot of room for error.

I was hoping for better news, but we can't win 'em all.

[mal_addict]

Sometimes fun things do happen. That's about as good as news I can give you.

[ol_northy]

I haven't really heard about anything good besides the beach.

[mal_addict]

Oh. The magical weather room. Be careful, some days it's full of snow instead.

[ol_northy]

Also heard about that. Is it big enough to ski in?

[mal_addict]

I'd say so, lots of hills, and whatnot.

If that's your thing, anyway.

[ol_northy]

It could be my thing. I need a new hobby. Do you think they'll have ski bunnies?

[mal_addict]

...Is that something where you put rabbits on your feet and use them to go over the snow?

[ol_northy]

No. You know what? I'm gonna pass on explaining that one.

[mal_addict]

Oh come on, curious minds need to know.
