PARADISA

[It's a few hour after House's death occurred does Allen finally have it in him to address the journal. He tried his best to get the blood off him, but there's so much in the clinic that when he opens the journal a smear of blood where his fingers are appear at the very edges. ]

[His voice sounds broken, like someone who is exhausted and all cried out. Someone who is clearly trying to do everything he can to hold it together. ]

Dr. Gregory House is....Dr. Greg House died today.

I'm sorry to anyone who knew him.

[And that's it. There is a pause like he wanted to say something else, but there is nothing else eh can bring himself to say. So instead, he quietly shuts the journal.]

[Morning everyone! Did you have fun at your party last night? Did you drink waaay too much? Well no matter, the clinic is on the job!]

[Allen will speak with a cheerful formal voice, but not too loud since he knows how you people get with your hangovers

Good morning, everyone.

For those who don't know me, this is Allen Walker and today I'm speaking on behalf of the staff of the clinic. We've come to understand that last night there was a large party where great amounts of alcohol was consumed. And we'd like to remind you that the second floor clinic is willing to provide medical aid on any hangovers or injuries that occurred from last night!

However...due high demand from the last time a heavy drinking event occurred, we at the clinic do request that residents consider donating to the clinic for any hangover remedies.

The suggested prices are 10 caisos for magical treatments, 5 caisos for painkillers and 2 caisos for our recommendations of the best "hangover foods". Other injuries have no donation recommendations, but you are free to donate as you'd like!

If you have any questions or complaints, I'd say you can speak with Dr. House since this was his idea...but really the chances he'll bother answering are not very good, I'm sorry.

Thank you and have good day!

[And once he's finishes, he'll give a small sigh and idly wonder if this counts as extortion. ]

It's strange...this time when I went to the Dead Zone, as nice as it was it felt...strange to not feel anything in my head. To feel normal was abnormal and..

[softer to himself] Have I really forgotten what it's like not to have this?

[He pauses as he looks out the window of his room]

It's been so many months since anyone from my world have been here.

...I wonder if I'll ever see any of them again.

[He makes an annoyed noise at himself] Enough of this, I really should go get things done.

[And there's the sounds of shuffling around as he goes to get dressed and what not, leaving the journal open at his desk]

[Filtered to Castle Residents in Wonderland that HAVEN'T lost their minds/memories]

I don't know who else got sucked into that mirror, but please be very careful. I went to see the King and well, it seems that the entire royal court is mad. The King threatened to behead his own guards because they sweated! And from what I hear? The Queen is even worse, though I was fortunate enough not to see her.

So please, watch yourselves. Who knows what other insane laws are considered to be punishable by death in this realm.

If it's any consolation, the King is a former resident of Paradisa. If it like past world changes, sometime during the week we may be able to jog his memories and snap him out of it. I...don't know about the Queen though.

There's going to be a royal croquet match sometime. Apparently the entire court is there, maybe more former residents will be there. I plan to go in hopes of jogging the King's memories or anyone else, but I will not blame anyone if they wish to remain as far away from this court as possible.

If you do go...whatever you do, please make sure the Queen wins.

Last autumn there was an expedition to a region called Lastlook, in which the travelers unwittingly unleashed a virus that had been contained there. This virus, the Seven Deadly Sins Virus, had previously brought the downfall of another castle by the name of Cair Draconis.

The people on the expedition were unaware that they had contracted a virus. It remained incubating in their systems until November, in which it was unleashed as an epidemic across the castle. The virus took form in seven different strains that were based off the Christian Seven Deadly Sins: Lust, Gluttony, Greed, Sloth, Wrath, Envy and Pride. The type of strain a person developed seemed dependent on their personality- and which sin best embodied them. They became essentially personifications of each sin and had the desire to spread it- which was done through a touch on the forehead.

The cure took form in the presence of seven items that were hidden across the castle. Each one has been collected and is currently residing in the clinic with instructions on each use. Unlike Cair Draconis, Paradisa was able to avert the disaster before it was too too late.

[He takes a breath now that the quick recap is done]

A more detail description of the events that occurred and the virus has now been completed. I have left a copy of my reports in both the clinic and the library, so hopefully if this is to occur again the people of the future have clearer and more timely information than we were given.

As for Lastlook, once a friend of mine wakes up in the clinic I plan to set out there to put up clearer warnings of what that cave contains. [he knows it's smarter to wait for spring, but honestly he needs a distraction at this moment. Though ugh, since he knows he won't be allowed to go alone-] If there is anyone that wishes to accompany, I request you be experienced in winter travel, combat and that it be no one that arrived to the castle after the virus occurred for I do not wish to risk another outbreak.

Thank you, that is all.

[Allen is in the kitchen, munching away on lunch during his break. Sure, there are nutcrackers about but when you have been here as long as he have? You get priorities, and delicious and free food always overrules the awkwardness associated with kissing all your friends and strangers]

[...]

[Okay so maybe only Allen has those priorities but STILL.]

[This of course line of thought, makes him realize something which he'll unexpectedly dictated after a swallow of food]

-- Ah!

I forgot it was my anniversary last week!

How did that slip my mind?!

[OOC: Open or over the journal! And yes, all for the kissing]

[Backdated to yesterday; dictated]

Ah...

[There's a long pause as he tries to figure out how to say this; partly as he knows some reactions will not be well. But in the end, he goes for the simple answer.]

It seems Gwaine has been returned home.

I'm...I'm sorry to anyone who knew him.
