PARADISA

[Dictated:]

Once there was a beautiful woman. She was the envy of all her friends. Throughout her life, she was given everything by the other humans, favored for her good looks.

There was a man, exceedingly strong, who was just as favored. He, too, got everything he ever wanted.

And, lastly, there was a woman who was rich and famous. Life was easy for her.

One day, the three stood by the edge of a cliff. First, the rich lady jumped off the cliff. As she neared the end, she realized no one cared.
Splat. Dead.
The strong man jumped off the side next. As he approached the ground, it dawned on him that he was really a weak human.
Splat. Dead.
The beautiful woman who had been given everything stepped off the side of the cliff.

And as she neared the puddle of blood and bones below her, she realized with fright that she was a very ugly creature.

Splat. Dead. Nothing.

[ooc: Yeahhh… Izaya’s feeling a little morbid today. Open over the journals! Please fill out his permissions post. Not necessary, but really helpful to me. Also, I'm sorry about my slowness with him! His voice just came back to me, and I'm rearing to go now! c:]

[There’s a man sprawled across a couch in the lobby. He yawns lazily, flipping the pages in the journal every now and then.

Don’t recognize him? You shouldn’t. He’s new. But he sure is making himself at home.

He grins childishly and waggles his finger in the air, dictating to the journal. His voice starts out sing-songy.]

Welcome to Paradisa, Izaya~ Make yourself comfortable~

I’ve been here for a few hours. Where’s the welcoming committee?

[He frowns as he flips to the first page, then back through quickly to the last.] Eh? Where’s the rest?

[He squints down at the journal with a pout on his face.] Ahhh… no fair, castle. Anyone willing to part with volume one of their journals?

[ooc: FORWARD-DATED to the 1st, so there are no crazy castle shenanigans. Open over the journals or in person! Please fill out his permissions post. Not necessary, but really helpful to me.]
