I guess the forest will be alright this time of year. Rain'll be a bit heavier now but you'd soon dry off in the sun. Not being funny but I think I'm starting to miss that hideout.

[Has written notes on his experiences as a lumpy geek teen in lumpy world before he asks out loud.]

Back home, well in England and America at least. There is this image that those with a more intellectual bent have glasses, pocket protectors and are a bit ungainly. Inaccurate to say the least because I have never required the use of a pocket protector.

I wonder where this comes from, additionally the question I wanted to ask you all was this:

Is this image of a geek found in your worlds too? A sort of intellectual but weak personification?

The sociological impact of all these worlds colliding is certainly fascinating to watch.

so, what's the next best thing?]

it hadn't gone so well (who would've thought it, raw egg doesn't taste great to vampires either!), so she'd given up in favour of enjoying herself via doodled cello mutilation 8) feel free to come across her or... ask her wtf she's doing journal-y.]

[dictated as usual.] All right... so.

For those of you who are interested in working on the outposts, and those of you who might be interested... well, what I'd like to ask for of the population in general right now, the willing population, is someone who can help set up something for transport. The Doctors have been lovely about moving things with the TARDIS, but I'd rather not be asking anyone to do all of everything, and if someone can set something up remotely, then it will be much easier for people to come and go from the border at will.

I don't care much if it's technology or magic that you're using, or we could even have both. Redundancy in the case of something coming up or some unforeseen problem blindsiding us wouldn't exactly hurt, right?

So, if you're willing, please let me know.

For the rest of you... I know we have fighters here. What are your thoughts on killing other people? Do you try to avoid it at all costs, or is it okay, or is it just a necessary evil? When is it okay, if you think that? What makes it okay?

[after an initial freakout upon the change in environment at midnight, Riza had taken to exploring the castle and later the town. This was somewhat difficult due to her clothes morphing into something more appropriate for the times (albeit still baring her abs for some unknown reason), which explains her now disheveled appearance.

The journal records a gagging noise that probably wasn't intended to be overheard, amongst the bustling sounds of the town waking up]

But... does it usually change without warning like that? I-I was really surprised when I woke up...

The people who live here seem very happy though! Apparently there's a festival tomorrow. I wonder if I should go... [ a bit of pause ] It would be fun to see!

[This is the worst world change ever. She's managed to get down the stairs, but about the time she's become caught on the fifth potted plant, she just stops and lets out a loud frustrated exhale. If she had a voice to scream with, she would.

With the metal hoop and three layer skirt, this dress almost weights as much as she does, her waist should not be this small. Lived through being a yoma's pet, only to die by a fluffy dress? It's awful ;; It's also pink and covered in lace and ribbons and it's like...She's in hell.

[For Mat, the morning was business as usual. Waking up, he washed his face with water from the basin. His clothes, fished out of his wardrobe by a fumbling hand, were unchanged... the normal jackets and breeches he was used to. It was cooler than it had been, but to his sleep-blurred mind, that hadn't really registered. Torch light was taken in stride as he exited into the hall and made his way down to the kitchen to pester the ghosts for a spot of breakfast.

It was only when he reached the kitchen itself and found the metal creations replaced by the bustling and familiar look of a proper, medieval setup that he actually registered something was off]

[Finally deciding to emerge from the sanctuary of her room, Moonbay (followed by Irvine the Charmeleon) makes her way to the lobby to figure out exactly how much has changed. Decked out in the whole shebang, she's moving slower than normally, trying to get a feel for the clothing. Her intent is to explore as much as she can before things eventually go south, since they normally do. To be on the safe side, her journal's in her hand ready to use if needed.]

So then. We've got next to no technology, no running water, and the clothes are as practical as an umbrella indoors. Going on trips are one thing, knowing you'll have those things when you return. But this...

[The journal picks up the sound of someone sitting up fairly quickly. A shuffle, something like "FWOOSH"— and whatever opening doors sound like. Doors, drawers, the window... He's inspecting all of it, and realizing he's not where he's supposed to be.

And he forgot to charge his phone again, or something, 'cause it's completely dead. Sigh. He slips it back into his— what the FUCK happened to his clothes? But that's not a priority.]


... No. A nightmare.

[There's a book with his name on it, and that's a curiosity; he brings it with him as he decides to balcony surf in his new medieval-era goth garb, which isn't that much different makes him look even more like a vampire. Black ruffles, a poet shirt with a ribbon, and lots of useless buckles, though his cape remains the same... No headband means his hair is everywhere and terribly bishounen.

He'd be cute if he wasn't pale as death itself.]

When that proves fruitless, he’ll just lean across Cas and see if he has any in HIS bedside cabinet because...well, you never know. Of course, there are none there, so he’ll sit up, rather annoyed]

Oh, come on now. I’ve done this already, I don’t want to do it again. You could have at least let me have the shades. I can’t even remember what I did last time. Was it the hood? Or had I moved on to low brimmed hats at that point?

Such priorities.

Though there may not be as much to offer you here, dare you travel outside of the city for your amusement? Would the uncertainty be something to take so lightheartedly?

I assure you, if there are dangers to befall these lands, I will not hold back the amusement I hope to gain from to such foolish actions.

About the Archive

"Paradisa Lost" is the archive of what the journals contained between December 1st, 2006 and January 10th, 2012. On that final day, Paradisa issued new journals, so that the residents could fill them up again. While there are still residents around who have old journals, we have chosen to preserve the old journals here for muns' reference and history.

"Lost" in the title refers to both the old journals that the residents once kept, and also to our move to Dreamwidth from the original Livejournal community, where Paradisa started. It is a fresh start for muns, as well as for the characters.
