[Phoebe sighs happily as the theme music plays from the TV. She pats Felix on the knee before picking up the box set and looking dreamily at the cover]

You know, I used to dream that I could live like they do. Completely free to do whatever I wanted. It’s part of why I wanted to become a columnist, you know. To be able to give people advice and help shed a little light on things.

[Felix makes a slight face at her at the contact but lets it go]

And what’s stopping you now, other than the meddling of a castle with, among other things, the absolute crudest idea of what romance is?

[Phoebe notices the journal laying open on the table and smirks at Felix. She picks it up, drawing it closer]

You know. You’re right. We should give some advice to everyone else trapped in the Hallmark nightmare that our rooms have become.

[He laughed lightly] Not setting the tacky paper hearts on fire might be a good start.

Hmmm. That’s a good one. Besides, it might smoke them out if they’re one of the lucky pairs who lost their windows. [She laughs]

Oh, but think of the beautifully romantic glow they’d give off in the dark as they burst into flame. Though, really, I’d recommend candles for that.

Oh! Especially with the dim lighting from only having a couple of light bulbs! Of course, if you ask me. I’d rather an open flame - whether from a candle... or a burning paper heart. [She winks at Felix]

[He grins back at her. He can’t really help it. It’s absolutely terrible of them to be mocking everyone else, but dammit, it makes him feel better]

Unless you’re lucky enough to have a fireplace in your room - which I recommend, by the way. It’s very cozy. Or you could curl up in front of the glow of your television, if that’s more to your liking.

[She returns that grin. Normally she’s not one to mock people who aren’t her sisters but this was just too damn funny not to] Did you know that they have TV channels around Christmastime back home that show nothing but a burning fireplace? It’s a good alternative if you’re... well... lazy and lacking on the romance front.

That shouldn’t be too hard right now, what with being utterly inundated with all this romance. I hope you all aren’t wasting this. Honestly, I’m sure half the castle could use the...calming benefits. [Translation: Ya’ll need to get laid] To that effect, putting some of these excess rose petals in your bathwater is very relaxing. [Oops, was that actual advice?]

Mmm. Just remember boys and girls. If the planets align and you decide to take advantage of the ambiance - use protection. We may be in a magic castle but, well, you never know, right? [She giggles a little awkwardly. Did she really just announce that... to everyone. Oooh Felix you’re a bad influence on her.]

[He’s a bad influence on anyone he’s around for more than five minutes. However there is a slight pause after that. Felix is giving her a bemused smile, but it’s attached to a raised eyebrow] …Protection against what, exactly? The only time I’ve seen any progeny around here, it’s been the castle’s doing.

((OOC: Phoebe and Felix are giving their own flavor of PSA for the masses during this Valentines Day mess. Open over the journals... obviously... :P))

rarities

[The journal seems to have fallen open without catching the attention of the two current residents of this room ...]

-- and with your shoulders, something like a halter top or thin straps will be best! [she's using her magic to take a few measurements with a long yellow measuring tape that seems to be moving by itself, excuse her, Six!] Say, do you have any preference on color? I think a nice blue might bring out your eyes ...

[Poor Noble Six. :')]

[How are you faring in the ballroom, residents? Have you gotten to know your fellow Paradisians? Had enough of the never-ending buffet?

It's only day two!

TEAM BUILDING EXERCISE OF THE DAY

The room seems a tad divided today, and for good reason. On the west side of the room is a vibrant purple flag surrounded by pillows and beanbag chairs stacked high. It it looks much like a makeshift fortress.

On the east side of the room, there is a brilliant pink flag that is also surrounded by a makeshift fort.

Between them is clear, open space. You may need that space.

The game is simple: capture the opposing team's flag while defending your own flag.

Reward: a bouncy castle complete with slides.]

[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.]
