paradisa

[So. There's nothing around to drink except wine, and Souji is... maybe a little too okay with this, what with being down in the dumps after Chie's leaving the castle. He hasn't gone entirely overboard with drinking down the inn's reserves, but after a few days in Florence, a little bit of a perpetual buzz has set in. And that's why he has the very brightest of ideas!]

Would anyone like to go fishing? It'll be a good way to pass the time, I've missed getting out there with the old rod.

[No giant lunkers to catch here, probably, but who knows. Maybe he'll get lucky, and maybe he'll pull something out of the Arno that's actually edible.]

[Sooj has been cooped up in the library with about half the rest of the castle, and the combination of fear, boredom, and that ever-present helplessness is starting to reach vast levels of irritating. Without his voice, he can't summon his Persona, and with no decent weapon, he can't even fight hand to hand. It's so very infuriating.]

I'm beginning to understand why everyone warned me why this place is not to be trusted when I first arrived.

[The letters are a little terse and harshly written. That's frustration for you.]

Three dead, and if that poem is to believed, four more will die? What is the point of this entire exercise except to drive us all up the wall with fear? Does anyone understand how this castle works?

Whew... finally.

[That? That's the sigh of success. Souji has been utterly exasperated for days, and now, he has blessed communication back.]

Chie, Rise, whoever's in charge around here got around to giving me a royal welcome to Paradisa. I'm, um. Well, I'm kind of stuck in my room right now.

[Because he's all of a couple inches tall. He's been in there for days, wishing for food and other necessities as necessary with his journal out of reach up on his dresser across the room. It took a while to manage to hit it with a wished-up model catapult and get it down onto the ground.]

The door's locked, and I... can't really get to my key. What's been happening around here?

If anyone's bored, I'm going to be setting some fireworks off on the roof of the Impetus Tower in about ten minutes.

[Yup. Souji was just thinking it's been a while since he's seen fireworks, and then he remembered, it's Paradisa. If he wants fireworks, he can damn well set off as many as he wants to, when he wants to. You know, as long as it doesn't bug people or anything.]

I wished up a big pile. Plenty to go around.

I've got to be honest: I thought for sure it would be a giant lizard and not a man-sized monster.

[Yes, Souji is already learning: don't trust the castle's events and be ready for combat. Thanks, everyone that's taught him that lesson.]

I should probably work on getting myself armed, just in case something like that happens again, and they seal our powers again...

[Huh. It feels odd, talking about powers in such a frank way, even after being here for a while. How about that.]

[Well. That was an adventure. Souji never knew he didn't actually want to meet real dinosaurs, thanks for ruining that childhood fantasy, Paradisa. He also figured out his loss, that was fun, too. But now it's back to the daily scheduled Wacky Castle Adventure™, and in a fit of restlessness, he's gone down where everyone inevitably goes when they get bored enough and wishes feel like cheating.

Down to the kitchen.

And he's cooking. Everything is going alright in making this beef and vegetable stew, so far, but after tasting it, he's not so sure it has enough zing. It needs more flavor, more kick!

So he's going to add some of those funny-looking peppers he found in the fridge. The fact that the stew is actually smoking now isn't necessarily a bad thing, right?]

...Smells good.

[There's a newcomer, although likely not a fresh face to many, down in the lobby. He's got his journal with him, he's been reading and listening to it, and besides thinking it's weird that a book is making sounds, he's slowly coming to terms with the facts of life concerning Paradisa. This is definitely not where he expected to be when Izanami, well, cast him down to Hell. Beside him, there is a pile of random objects he's wished up to test that, yes, you can wish for things. There are several cans of soda, random food items, a shovel, a bunch of plastic model robots, and exactly one hundred paper cranes.]

Huh...

[Okay, he's convinced that works. Now, how about communication? The journals don't come with instructions, so he just picks his up, flips to a blank page, and starts talking.]

Does this work? Oh, there's letters.

[Let's think of a good word to react to that with. Astounding? Impossible?]

Neat.

I hope no one was too seriously hurt by... whatever it was that was terrorizing the castle. There sure is a variety of things it does to us.

So... how does one figure out their loss?

[The journal is picking up the sounds of two teenagers: one Souji Seta and one Yosuke Hanamura.]

This feels like deja vu.

[Yosuke groans at that.] Don't even say it.

[Souji chuckles but does as Yosuke asks. Instead he'll be wandering around the room for a moment, the journal picking up soft footfalls. Was this normal for the castle?]

How do we get out?

With the door like that, I'm thinking we don't.

… Then what do we do?

Wait. If we're lucky it's going to be over in a week or less.

A whole week in this one room?

Yeah. I told you man, it has a stupid sense of humor. At least we can wish for food and stuff to do.

[There's a sound of someone walking forward and then the soft squeak of the bed.]

I guess that's not so bad. I guess this place has a sense of humor.

I don't think there's anything funny about this! But... [a sigh] ...it's done worse. [He's just not going to tell you what that is. And he's definitely not...Going to sit on the bed with him, picking the horrible, red velvet lip shaped bean bag chair...Yeah, he is loving this already]

[He'll just… ignore that pillow.]

Yeah, I suppose it could be worse. [a pause] At least there's no aphrodisiac anywhere.

… Don't eat anything! Or sit near glitter or… …. Just don't move.

….

[There's a long, awkward silence.

Then….]

There's only one bed.

[He hates you more than he has ever hated anything in his life. He's moving into the TV Souji, you can't stop him] ......

You can have it.

…. Okay.

[ IF you happen to be in the lobby for whatever reason, you might see a confused gray haired boy. He seems a little perplexed though not outwardly startled. If you're in the kitchen you might also see him as he crosses through the doors, poking his head in as he starts to wander around.

If you're in neither place but are taking a look or listen to the journals, you'll here him instead. ]

I don't think this is where the train was suppose to drop me off.
