[Check it out, Paradisa. Angela is making her very own rangoli. She's got experience you know. She's sketching out in the journal before she does the real thing.]

This is the rangoli design similar to the one of this guy I used to date. His family shared it with me and I got help them paint it one year. Rangoli is an ancient tradition and folk art from India. Every family has their own style of rangoli that's passed down through the generations. [Angela sounds really happy as she keeps sketching, she loves to teach/explain] Of course, they might change it up a little but it's usually the same. It's meant to be put in the entrance of one's home to greet the deities during festivals. Rangoli symbolizes joy and happiness

[There, it's done]

Pretty amazing right? It'll look even better once I do it really big on the floor.

[Vivi wanders around the castle grounds, staring up at recently hung lanterns in wonderment. Instead of her normal clothes she's wearing a royal anakarli she discovered in her wardrobe and is fairly comfortable in it despite it being more confining. She holds her journal open in front of her as she walks, not really paying attention to anything else besides the lights and decorations.]

Oh wow! It's so pretty! Just like the festivals at home! Am I really awake now? I feel like I've been asleep forever! [She looks down at the notebook and frowns a little.] This says it's been a month, but that can't be right.

((OOC: That's right! Baby Vivi is back! ICly, she's essentially been asleep in her tower for the past month or so but still remembers everyone!))

[ten PM sees the castle being serenaded by the usual song - but it's a cover, this time - a woman's lilt instead of Leonard Cohen's gravelly rumble]

Hey, folks, it's that time again. This is Hard Harry comin' at you with a fistful of this week's sticky scoop on life in Castle Wonderfuck. Apparently, the place has turned itself into the Far East for however fucking long. Guess we all gotta start reading up on Indian horror stories? As long as the cows don't start attacking us, I think I'll be good. And hey, even if we do? Free sacred cheeseburgers. Moo moo moo, motherfuckers. [Harry snickers and lights up a cigarette, spinning around in his chair. once he's taken a drag, he sets it in his ashtray, then picks up the pouch of caisos he found on his dresser and starts tossing it up and down in time with the music. clink, clink]

I think my question for the week is, who's got the best batshit meteor loss story? That seems to have been last week's running topic of discussion, so I think we should turn tonight into the Greatest Hits. And I'm not talking angst fodder, I'm talking, you saw someone make a complete idiot out of themselves. The kind of shit that gets photos in the yearbook. Or would if we had one.

New people! We got a lot of those this week, didn't we? A tip of the hat I'm not wearin' to Elrond, Aveline, Bethany, Steve, Castiel, Ryotaro, Noble Six, Xena, Geoffrey, andBucky! Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but I think a couple of the random people that showed up during all that meteor craziness stuck around, too. ....

So, let's hear it, folks! Stories, questions, comments, concerns. Random castle hatred binges. Whatever's on your mind, hit me with it. That's why I sit on my ass in this spinny chair once a week, ain't it? Let's go!

[The castle changes are, as usual, somewhat bewildering to Spike, but weird clothes and random decorations are about par the course with the castle. He's pretty much ignoring it for his usual attire.

But he can't help but wonder about one thing.]

...what's with the poncy cattle?

[Recorded is a faint tapping sound followed by some jingling before a voice chimes in.]

So, I'm sure most of us have noticed the wardrobe change, and we can't have missed the decorations. What about the bags of money, though? Everybody got one of those, right? There's a pretty good amount in here. Makes me wonder why.

[With that, Kallen shuts the journal and decides to make her way to the kitchen for some food. If anyone runs into her, she'll be wearing this minus the heels. Yup.]

Gonna go out on a limb here and assume I'm not the only one receiving the dresses, right?

[ Of course not. Buffy says this with a vaguely confused look on her face as she holds the journal staring up at the sky at the lanterns passing by. ]

Though, I'm assuming different clothes in everyone's closet are the last thing on everyone's mind.

[A young woman with long hair, draped in teal paisley, can be found window-shopping today! She's especially interested in some cute fall dresses, but after a long moment of staring, she pulls herself away and continues down the street. She cradles a colorful lantern in her hands while a small purse dangles from her wrist. She feels especially dainty and strange like this, but her poise is as military as usual.]

[ooc: Open!! ♥]

[The clothing wasn't so terrible, there had been a blue option Equius had taken some interest in. He felt that the finery suited him, even if it was better for him not to wear clothing that kept in so much heat. Still he indulged in the wearing of that dark blue garment. Unfortunately the new appearance of the castle and grounds were less intriguing, and slightly discouraging. So.. colourful. All these hues mingling with eachother. If it had been just high society colours it would have not been so bad, but this? Disgusting.]

[Dictated into Journal.]

What is the significance of the castle's change in decor? It's simply dreadful. I am blinded by the sun already, I do not need my eyes searing as a result of the landscape as well.

[The sound of a spoon clinking on ceramic, followed by what is distinctly the pouring of cereal, comes over the journal. It's dinnertime, but Nico has no idea how to eat properly so Lucky Charms it is. He picks all the marshmallows out and leaves the cereal.

He's been keeping an eye on the castle ghosts ever since his arrival, and just can't quite figure them out. Which is pretty frustrating, since he's supposed to be some kind of expert on that kind of thing.]

So what do we know about these ghost things? Anything aside from the obvious?

((ooc: open to kitchen or journal))

[Maladict woke up today to a wardrobe full of dresses. It there's one thing Maladict loathes, above anything else in this stupid world, it's her wardrobe being full of dresses. You'd have thought after a year the castle would have got the hint about this. Apparently not]

So, what ridiculous Earth custom is being forced on us this time, then? And why does it involved so much silk and flowery things? Wasn't this supposed to be some holiday to do with demons and dead people? This looks distinctly nothing like that.

Ugh, this looks like the sort of thing they wear in Klatch. Great coffee, really stupid dress sense. You can't even move properly in all this.

[Bitch, whine, complain. If you're on the sixth floor and very, very lucky, you might catch her crossing the hall in this, heading to Tesla's room to steal something a little more suited to her style. And by that she means men's clothing.]

A kindly old man (kindly and old, yes; man, not so much) decided to take a stroll through the city. His clothes are not a present from the castle. He just makes His own, one of the many benefits of a lifetime membership to the exclusive Omnipotence Club. If you pass by, you might hear Him singing to Himself in Hindi.

Ugh, this sucks! First the dresses, and now everything's decorated all girly and stuff! I thought it was Halloween time. Where's all the cheesy horror stuff?

[grumble, grumble] At least they could have given us more money for this...

[Hey guys. There might be some very very familiar handwriting appearing on the page.]

Regarding “The Blind Date”

Got to restaurant early, staked out escape routes. Alleyne arrived, wore more than usual. Still v. hot but did you put her up to that? Nevertheless, she sat her fine ass down and didn’t try to kill me. Maybe I’m growing on her.
