PARADISA

[... Oh no. Ohhhhh no. No no no.

This isn't the first time Elsa's woken up to a chill in the air when the weather should be warmer. In her room at least, her powers still... reacted... when she had a nightmare. But the accidental outbursts have never been bad. A few flurries here or there or ice creeping along the walls.

But now, looking out the window.... everywhere is covered in snow. As far as the eye can see. And of course Elsa, poor, constantly-blaming-herself Elsa, immediately jumps to the first conclusion her mind imagines.

Oh god, what did I DO?

But she can't remember doing this! Her dreams weren't even THAT bad last night...! But... she didn't mean to do anything the last time she froze a land during summer... so maybe...

No. She. She needs to ask about this first. Maybe someone knows what happened. So, to the journals she goes.]

The weather... is this.... normal for this land, this time of year?

[She's trying to simply sound curious and casual, but... yeah that's not working. Her voice is shaking ever so slightly with nerves, but she's hoping people will just think it's because of the cold...]

I have a question, for those of you here who have been trapped in Paradisa for some time now.

[There's a pause, and when Elsa speaks again, she sounds a bit awkward. Nervous.]

I realize that the last time I made an entry of my own into these journals, I started off much the same way. And before I address my query... I'd like to apologize for that day. I shouldn't have brought such emotion into a public forum. I should have kept to myself until I had a better hold on my emotions.

[Yep. She's apologizing for getting upset over someone close to her disappearing. Typical Elsa. ANYWAY. She clears her throat.]

Anyway... I've had this question on my mind for a few weeks now. Is it common for people returning to this land to... forget things? Not from here, I've been told that is very common, so I'm not worried. But what about important things from home?

Third Flake [dictated/action-ish]

[Conceal, don't feel. Conceal, don't feel. Conceal, don't feel.

Elsa had stopped using that mantra. Ever since she had accepted herself and reversed the so-called "eternal winter" in Arendelle, Elsa had promised herself - and the people around her - that she would be more open. She promised that she wouldn't go back into hiding. Bottling up her emotions and her power never did her any good in the years she spent alone, and she had most certainly learned that lesson.

But... she had a limit. She could try to be strong, she could try to keep it together, but in some cases... she just can't.

This is one of those cases.]

I have... a question. [She has to clear her throat just after saying that, because she's so close to crying (or possibly having a panic attack) that she can't stop a lump from forming in her throat. She can try - and fail - to control her emotions, but her voice? Nope. It's clear to anyone who's listening that she's really hurting.]

... How do you deal with people who are close to you suddenly... disappearing?

[Also, for those of you living on the fourth floor, or possibly just passing by: it looks like a sudden deep freeze swept through the halls. The temperature has dropped sharply, and there are small lines of frost trailing along the walls, ceiling, and floor. Said frost gets more and more noticeable the closer one gets to room 419...]

Second Flake [written]

[It's with a dark sort of humor that Elsa muses over how thankful she was that the creature she had run into a week prior had not torn off her dominant arm. It means she's not left even more useless than she is now. And it also means she can pen a note that she's been meaning to get out for the past few days, but with the lingering haze of pain and medication - and her sister's near-constant fretting - she never got a chance to until now.]

To those that helped me early last week, the hooded man and the clinic worker;

I cannot thank you enough for what you have done. The both of you saved my life after I was disfigured by that grotesque creature, and comforted my sister when I was unable to. Let it be known that the Queen of Arendelle is in your debt, and it is a price I know I will not be able to repay easily. If you are ever in need of my services, please, do not hesitate to call on me.
