paradisa

I understand some medication will make you drowsy for the day, but being knocked out for nearly two weeks? Not what I needed or wanted, Cair Paradisa. Too much sleep is not supposed to be good for you.

[ A brief pause. ]

So the journal mentions a carnival came to Paradisa. Anyone know where exactly it came from?

[ And with that, Kate can be found in the music room today, tuning her acoustic. In the background, she's got some music playing quietly.

Though she does have a question to pose to the rest of the castle. ]

Has anyone heard from Nudge? I haven't seen her at lessons in quite a while, but it doesn't seem like her to be so quiet for so long.

And while I'm at it-- [ A split-second pause. ] If anyone's interested in learning to play guitar, I don't mind offering lessons. It's not like I don't have free time, after all.

[ Though the dining hall is the proper place to sit and eat, Kate ended up feeling too lazy to drag the Pyranees into another room. Instead, she's seated at the table in the kitchen with a bowl of Wheaties and the large dog eating his own food from a bowl on the floor.

She swings her legs back and forth, staring at her open journal. ]

I'm gonna to be here two years on the weekend, but this is so lame; I haven't gotten taller or anything since I came. I'm supposed to be fourteen. How come this place does that?

[ A childish huff. ]

Magic doesn't make any sense.

[ ooc; open in person or through journal. Loss start! :) ]

[ And it should not come as too much of a surprise, but Kate leaves out a filter to her own friends. At least for now. She's tired and has to deal with Stephanie soon, so she wants to be completely prepared for whatever is to come. She doesn't mean to make anyone worry.

With some effort, she manages to sit up on her bed. She's currently in the clinic, much to her chagrin. Never has she liked being stuck on bed rest and being made to feel so helpless, frustrated and tired. It makes her feel like a victim, something she's always hated since the time she was a child. Even knowing the clinic staff were just doing their job, it makes her feel petty.

Now? She feels restless. She pours through the journal for details on what's happened in the castle during the days she was stuck elsewhere, yet there's nothing that really explains what exactly happened. As usual, there's no reason. There's never a reason.

She shouldn't waste any energy feeling so angry about this. ]

[ ooc; open in the clinic to whoever! ]

[ The journal likes to prop itself open without warning, so here's another one of those times featuring Kate, who had been lulled into a nice, deep sleep after the fairy tales ended. No bears here, though. Just a dog barking loudly in her ear.

She jerks awake, knocking some books she had off the bed accidentally. More noise gets the dog barking again and she shushes him, but that's when she notices the length of her hair draped around her neck. Her hair hasn't been this long in some years. ]

What the hell?

I wonder if filmmakers would kill for whatever it was that happened with the library a while ago. Who needs 3D when you can experience your favorite story with all five senses? Then again, it would have been much preferred had the history book I borrowed not stuck me in a corset.

Anyway, out of curiosity... how many world changes have there been in total here?

[ And for anyone wandering into the game room, Kate's seated in there, focused more on her journal than the movie that she paused anyway. ]

[ While strumming her guitar in the music room, Kate’s left the journal open as usual to listen in on whatever’s going on today. After a while, she decides to speak up herself: ]

A library that stocks up on new material every month, yet with people from countless worlds, I never have much luck finding books that tell me about these other places. A lot of the myths I’ve read about I’m familiar with already from my own world – the red string of fate, Castor and Pollux, golems, et cetera.

In the past several months, Paradisa’s been trying to be more open-minded about holidays. Haven’t seen much diversity in its library, unless it’s working on that.

[ Kate can be found in the City Royale this early afternoon, pampering herself with the joys of shopping. Since it's still bright out and she has hours to go before putting on her uniform and heading out for nightly patrol, she's taking her time from store to store, also examining some of the Valentine's decorations adorned everywhere. She mostly wants to be away from the castle, but with the upcoming holiday, it means a sale on things like fancy chocolates, wine, undergarments and other clothes!! ]

[ ooc: open in the city. come botherrrr if you like! ]

[ Eh, so what if it's mid-winter and cold outside? It's always warm in the castle, no matter how many windows are kept open or the doors to the outside keep opening and closing. Magic, obviously. Kind of creepy, but it doesn't deter Kate from taking some time today to enjoy a nice swim in the pool. She has it all to herself right now, which is even nicer.

As usual, the journal is open at the side. ]

Seems after returning from Paris, any others who were brought here don't have any recollection of ever being in Paradisa. [ Only one, possibly. ] Doesn't make sense, but that's probably redundant.

It does seem like a shame though, when you've been here a while and then get sent home, only to be dragged back after some time. There's no guarantee on returning with your memories, so you could forget everything you've been taught or taught yourself. [ A beat. ] What would you miss?
