[there's a soft clearing of the throat, and then a stretch of uncomfortable silence. When Colette finally speaks, her voice is soft but steady. She's making a focused effort to not sound calm, but at least sound together. All of this was a sobering and personal reminder-- how terrible Paradisa could be. She really doesn't want to be talking on the journal at all, but people should know...]

Excuse me, but I... [no, that's the wrong way to start. She sighs slightly, and then starts again]

Zelos Wilder died yesterday. Another man has also died, although I don't know his name. He had very short light hair, wore a modern Earth suit, and was very skilled with a gun.

To their friends, I -- [an awkward pause, and then a soft apology] I'm sorry. Everything is really dangerous right now, so please... everyone please try to stay safe.

Um! H-Hello, everyone... [Colette might sound just a tiny bit sheepish as she talks over the journal. Have you ever been in that situation where something big happened in your life, but it was a private matter? And then you're not sure if you should be telling people that it happened, because it's not exactly something that comes up easily in casual conversation? So now the time has come that you actually have a question for a lot of people regarding this new development, BUT YOU STILL HAVEN'T TOLD ANYONE ABOUT THE DEVELOPMENT IN THE FIRST PLACE?

Life is hard. So Colette sounds a touch... nervous as she regards the journal. It's definitely a good kind of nervous, but still. Nerves.]

Every year around the same time, a lot of people here celebrate a holiday called Valentines day! Its a holiday from Earth, I think, where people do special things for the people that they really care about.

[it's not coming up super soon, but still, two and a half weeks. That's soon-ish.] So! Um, I've celebrated the holiday before, but I was wondering... If you're suppose to do something different if there's someone that you really like, and they said that they like you too, and you might be... dating?

This city is really amazing!

[Hey Paradisa, guess what? There is one REALLY EXCITED sounding voice come to you over the journal. What could be so exciting?]

Did you know that some of the people here fight with animals? While I was looking around the city, I saw someone who had a really cute doggie with them! The person said that the dog was their partner, and they are part of a clan that has raised dogs and fought alongside them for many years.

[hehe, she giggles sheepishly] I don't think any of my dogs would be very good at fighting, but it seems like an interesting idea. The dogs here must be very brave if they've been fighting for generations.

A-Anyway, I'm sorry for talking so much about it, I just thought it was exciting. I wonder if I can meet other dogs from that clan...

[hm hm, she's quiet for a moment. She's just talking on the journal, wandering around town and seeing the sights. If anyone wants to run into her (or, literally bump into her... wtih Colette that is totally possible), feel free!]

["Camp" is over, and Sheena--for the most part--has settled in. If one were to call scouring the place for a way out "settling in" that is. And now, after that initial storm of activity, Sheena is staring at her journal--just as she has for the past day or so. She had initially ignored Colette's message--until the words of both the Zelos Message and her own Private message had finally sunk in. She had done some research and was now kicking herself for not trusting her friendship with Colette.]

She reaches for the book for what seems like the hundredth time, but this time, she takes it and opens it. Sighing, she reaches for the brush and ink; what she has to say is easier written than spoken--at least for her--since it allows her to think before speaking this time.]

[PRIVATE TO COLETTE]

( It's so hard to say you're sorry... )

[Putting the brush down, she waits for the ink to dry before closing the journal.]

[She's not even going to bother contacting Zelos. No, she'll "speak" to him when he gets back.]

Parties, chariot races, are camps always this festive? Or I suppose, a better question would be, when the castle changes like this, is it always so peaceful? I was told that this place could be dangerous... but maybe the danger in some places isn't so obvious.

[she muses as if she's talking to herself, but then she makes an indecisive hm~ and turns her attention back towards the journal]

So, have you all been having fun?

[she's wandered over to the edge of the forest, where's she's found a lovely tree to lean against while she watches the sunset and talk on the journal. She'll be keeping her eyes open, so if you happen to pass by you'll have a blonde girl waving in a seemingly friendly greeting. So, feel free to appraoch her either in person or over the journal]

[ Anyone who comes into the lobby might see a strange sight. Colette and Zelos suddenly seem to be standing in the lobby like they literally just showed up. Zelos, freakily enough, looks a bit younger than normal and is dressing pretty ….modestly for himself and draws his sword immediately when he realizes he’s been nabbed to yet another weird place. Meanwhile, Colette looks like she’s wearing clothes that are decidedly more stylish than usual. She has not reached for her weapons, and is instead looking around this strange lobby with raised eyebrows.]

A... castle? Oh my, and Zelos you're here too. [Whatever surprise is on her face is quickly replaced by mildly curious look]

[Zelos meanwhile is less calm. he just got DONE being kidnapped somewhere with Colette ok.] Yeah I’m here! What’s going on now?!

[she’ll reply with a flat look, and then a light sigh] How would I know? Don’t look at me like that, for once, something like this actually has nothing to do with me! [she giggles and smiles]

[Yeah not helping with the comfort Colette. Concern will definitely be on his face as he’s looking around] I can hear other people in the building....let’s try to find the others, okay?

I guess that should be comforting. Alright then, lead the way Sir Zelos. To our mysterious captors! [if she’s concerned, she’s certainly not showing it on her face]

[....Just a flat look at Colette before facing away from her; muttered] Jeez, I hope we find Lloyd soon...

[OOC: Loss start! Open or over the journal! Comment style will be...free for all for both of them so don’t worry too much about comment order :’)]

[During this lovely Saturday afternoon, the Durrving Family can be found busying themselves in the garden. Nestled within the green leaves and beautiful flowers are the giggles and hiccups of an eight month old baby boy.

The child has strangely suspect auburn hair and clear blue eyes, but he looks a lot like his 'father' physically. Meanwhile, Lloyd wants to make this the best Saturday ever. He hands the baby off to his... domestic partner and works on his biggest project yet. It doesn't look like much: two fishing pole-like wands, a bit of rope, and a giant bucket... but Lloyd believes this plan is sure to please.]

[Colette takes the little boy and sets him on the ground. It takes him a moment, but his curiosity takes hold and he tries to stumble up to his feet. Colette giggles and holds her hands out so that he has something to grab onto, and walks the baby in circles]

Don't worry, Leif! Lloyd will be done in a minute, and I'm sure it'll be really amazing!

[Of course, being Colette, she says that with complete sincerity. She glances over at Lloyd to see how his project is going]

[Lloyd gives the substance in the bucket one more stir, and then he looks at Colette and gives her a thumbs up.]

All right! Get ready!

[He plants his feet firmly behind the bucket and grabs hold of the two wands-- not unlike swords in his hands-- and raises them high into the air. Within a few seconds, a gigantic rainbow bubble floats toward the observers.]

[Ecstatic, Leif giggles and claps his hands. He tries to hurry towards towards the bubble, but Colette giggles and walks him towards the magnificent creation. She also looks pretty impressed with such an awesome bubble]

Wow, Lloyd, it's so beautiful! [hehe, she giggles, and picks up Leif so he can see it closer] Leif thinks so too!

[Lloyd blushes and hopes it isn't too obvious, but he's grinning regardless.] Careful! It might pop on you!

[ooc: FEEL FREE TO JOIN IN ON BUBBLE FUN. HAVE A GIGANTIC BUBBLE POP ON YOUR FACE. Also, this is backdated to Saturday at noon due to our horrible schedules.]

[there's a slight pause... before Colette finally asks over the journal]

Hello everyone! I'm sorry to bother you all, but I had a question. While I've been here, I've learned how to knit...but I'd also like to learn how to make other things. I've never tried sewing before, because I've never thought I'd be very good at it... [after all, have you seen how klutzy this girl is? she would probably stab something]

But, I think I'd like to try and learn! Does anyone know very much about sewing? Or, if you don't know about sewing, do you have a hobby where you make something? I don't know if I'd be very good at it, but I'd like to learn new things if I can.

[Colette lets out a happy sigh, and leans back against a tree. With such a beautiful spring day, she's packed a tiny fruit-based picnic lunch, found a tree to sit under, and is enjoying the lovely day. After eating a little bit she pulls the journal over, and opens it to a new page]

I'm sorry if this is a very strange question... but I was wondering, does anyone pray here? [after all, Father Abel opened a church... there must be some people who needed a place to pray]

Oh, but I also know it's a really personal question! If it's something that you wouldn't want to talk about, that's okay too... I was just curious.

[she laughs sheepishly as she continues to eat her food. She'll fall silent and wait for someone to reply... Feel free to either reply over the journal, of have your character pass by in person :3]

[phew, after that is all said and done, Colette wants to do... something fun! So after baking her cookies for friends she spent some times making some lovely posters for the baking club! But now that she has them, she wants to get some opinion on where would be best to put them...]

Excuse me, I had a question. I was just wondering... for anyone who isn't busy, where is your favorite place to go in the castle? I'd like to put up some flyers for the Baking Club, and I want to make sure that a lot of people see them.

[ooc: If you'd like, you can reply either over the journal, or in person! She'll be wandering around the castle putting up flyers, so it's easy to run into her]

Um, e-excuse me. [Anyone who knows Colette might notice that her voice sounds slightly strained, and there's a pause (almost like she notices it too) and she clears her throat]

I saw one of those monsters, it was outside of the laundry room. But, I didn't get a very good look at it before it disappeared... I'm sorry. Whatever it is, it's really fast! It's black, and not very big, but that's all I could tell.

It might still be in this area, so I'm going to keep looking for it... If I see it again I'll be sure to say something right away. [there's a deeeeeep breath before she sets aside the journal for a second. Phew, she doesn't feel good at all, and it was starting to show in her voice again by the end of that announcement. So she'll just sit down for a moment to collect herself. Bluuuh, space lobsters suck]

[ooc: feel free to respond either over the journal, or in person :) She's just sitting on the floor of the 7th floor hallway! She did get bitten, but it'll take a little while before she's out completely, she's just feeling a bit feverish and sore around the bite-area. Also, this is backdated to a bit earlier in the evening.]

[the custom is slowly establishing itself: chairs are set up, a folding table with tea and coffee sits against the wall by the doors to the laboratories. and after everyone has had ample time to mingle, the Doctor moves to the podium, notes in hand, and clears his throat]

Good afternoon, everyone. Thank you for coming, I'm glad you could make it. I'm sorry to cut straight through to things, but we have an awful lot of ground to cover, and I'd like to see as much of it as possible settled...

((OOC: Sections in comments, ~~please wait until they're all up to comment!~~ GO FOR IT! Sorry for the lack of mingling thread this time, but there really IS a lot to cover ICly. Also, feel free to tag yourselves in! OOC discussion can take place here.))
