paradisa

[Written]

[It was a question he had carried for a while and researching it’s solution in the library had not provided many answers, so… might as well take Connor’s suggestion.]

Are there any among you here who would be willing and able to answer some questions about the Insolitus? I have seen something of the place but have not yet attempted to explore its many twists and turns. Are there any left here who have?

I can not help but wonder if the source of the castle’s power might not be hidden in there. Do you remember the sleepwalking episode? All of those affected by that curse were drawn to that place and compelled to protect it, there must be more there?

If you have any information on this, no matter how small and insignificant it may seem, I would be very grateful to learn it.

[ Dictated or Action in the Terrere Tower - Summer ]

The art has been remarkable of late, bursts of color in the halls and over the journals. You should all be commended for your efforts but... have you noticed the waves? Some how these stand out above all else.

It is quite mesmerizing the way the water is pushed to shore in all those ripples and swirls. I have stood here for hours watching them.

[There is no sense of concern when he says this. There is only deep awe that grows the longer he watches the spirals. ]

Che meraviglia.

[As he speaks the swirls in the waves seem to draw him in. Giovanni crosses the beach without even realizing he had been pulled so near to the side of the ocean until the water splashes over his boots, but even this is no deterrent. ]

Do you know if you look further out toward the horizon there are even larger spirals in the water?

[The sea water was up to his knees now but he couldn't stop now. He had to see more!]

They are so far from shore. It makes one wonder...

The swirls we see on the surface are only cosmetic, how deep might the real current spiral down? Would they travel all the way to the ocean floor? Beyond? I must know...

Gentile Signore/Signora,

I suppose all of the strange entries I have read and the unusual wanderings of some of the other ‘guests’ are one of these bizarre occurrences I was warned this living castle produces.

Before it seemed like those who were sleepwalking were doing so without direction but now... I am not familiar enough with the layout of this castle to know where they are heading but they all seem to be moving in the same direction. Has anyone followed them to see where they are going? I mean to.

Distinti saluti,

Well, how about that, looks like I've managed to make it an entire year here in Paradisa. Can't say my stay has been entirely pleasant, but what sort of life is always agreeable?

Though I am disappoint at the way it never takes any of our fine suggestions for wackiness. One of these days, though, someone will have to win the betting pool. Or the castle will fill our shoes with pudding, one.

Cheers and here's to all of us finally getting the hell out of here within the next year.
