PARADISA

[Dictated; someone's feeling a bit chatty and also curious.]

Cryptic messages aside, did anyone actually become what they wanted to be when they grew up?

We start out thinking that we know exactly what we want. Then, we don't. School forces us to decide on our future when we still don't know who we are or what we want from life, and before you know it, you're getting your degree in something you more than likely will never use for the rest of your life.

I suppose I'm just wondering if anyone is actually doing something they thought they would be doing.

( Room 607 filter )

[Dictated]

You would think that in a world where we can acquire virtually anything we want, people would want to take advantage of that. I'm not talking about mass wishing, since apparently that makes the castle tempermental, but at least try to decorate your room.

[Eli sits down upon a couch, sprawling out a bit.]

Then again, I suppose there are other matters on everyone's mind. What's this I heard about an "expedition?" [You can hear it in his tone that this is accompanied by air quotes with his fingers]

[A man has just laid himself down upon a couch in the lobby, eyes closed and propping his hands behind his head as a pillow. He seems rather content, despite his surroundings.

In fact, he seems rather oblivious of his surroundings. His journal lays open on the floor beside the couch, picking up the words he now speaks to no one around him.]

That was fun, wasn't it? Why don't we have get togethers like that more often?

[His tone is sarcastic, as is its default setting, and there's a pause after his words, as if waiting for a response. He soon realizes he isn't getting one.]

Alicia?

[His eyes open, and instantly they widen as he slowly pulls himself upright on the couch.]

Well... this is new.


(ooc: OPEN TO ALL via journal or in the lobby! come watch him at his most awkward and uncomfortable. warning: he's kind of an asshole, but he means well. sometimes.)
