[Faye is going to have a very productive day, but the key is to make it look as lazy as possible. If you look like you're working, then you feel like you're working, and that just isn't any fun. Working also tends to put people off, and who wants making friends to be even more difficult? So, after rummaging around in the lobby couch cushions for a moment, she settles down and places a couple of bottles of beer innocently on the coffee table, and flips the journal open.]

Friday the thirteenth. It's supposed to be unlucky, right? [the idle sound of rolling dice rattles somewhere near the journal] See... that's something I've never really understood. Because, when someone's luck goes bad, it usually means that someone else is winning. So... not everyone can be unlucky at the same time.

[another rattle] ...Someone has to be sucking up all that extra lost luck, don't you think?

[with a sigh, she lounges to take up most of the couch, reaching over with one hand to boredly play with a pair of dice on the table. Time to get a little more of that 'work' out of the way now...]

[and in through the front doors she waltzes! You've all missed her, haven't you? And you've all noticed that she was gone for nearly a month, right? Of course you have! And, in the unlikely event that you have not, you should probably act like you have, and pretend that you've missed her, if you want to avoid being bitched at. She flips the journal open as she saunters in, and carries on as if you have all been sitting around and waiting to hear how her little 'vacation' went--]

...Boy, it seems like forever since I've seen this place. It's almost nice to be back, you know?

[wandering right into the kitchen for something to eat, though she's still going to have the ghosts make it for her. She's missed the castle's luxuries]

So, what have I missed? I know there's got to be at least a few good stories to tell. I forgot to keep track of a few episodes of Castle Gossip while I was out relaxing. ...You know how it is when you're on vacation.

And how about all you new people-- adjusting well to the insanity so far? Here's a little free piece of advice to get you started: the very first thing you should do is test out the wishing system. I really don't think people push the castle's limits enough around here...

[...sorry. It's been nearly a month since she's trolled anyone. She's got a lot to get out of her system]

[There are three women - that is to say, Faye, Ino, and Lois - walking into the lobby at this moment, and all three of them are inexplicably wearing leotards, heels, and a strange armpiece made of metal.

The lights dim for a moment before a familiar beat starts to play and they begin dancing ...]


All the single ladies, all the single ladies
All the single ladies, all the single ladies
All the single ladies, all the single ladies
All the single ladies

Now put your hands up!

[and then the music dies, and there's a satisfied exhale from all three of them before the castle's effect wears off.]

[hey, it's not the middle of the day-- she has some dignity, after all. There is nothing wrong with being drunk in the late afternoon. It's almost evening.

It's fine.

She probably should have left the journal behind, though.

Parked in the Death Match, lounging in her seat at the bar that she hasn't visited in... a very long time... is Little Miss Faye, brooding over a glass of something that is a couple steps too evil for her feminine
little frame.]

You know... whoever said that nothing here ever changes... [clink and rattle of ice cubes in the glass] ...they're full of shit.
[identity profile] luckyvalentine.livejournal.com
[propping the journal open as she climbs into the zipcraft on the lawn, she breathes a dramatically heavy sigh]

You know... with the castle always sending all of the tough, confident women home, how are the girls here going to know how to grow up right? How are they going to learn to take care of themselves, and get whatever they want in life? How are they going to learn how to really have fun? We're running out of rolemodels...

...Oh well. I guess that just leaves me. [pauses a couple beats, smirking to herself] ...So, girls? First lesson: don't let anyone tell you what to do. Anyone who thinks that they know what's best for you, wants to either change or get something from you. So... stick to your guns, demand what you want out of life.

Also, learn how to shoot.

[and with that, she revs up the engine of her ship... and is greeted to little else but a horrible grinding noise.]

...What the hell? [she tries again. More grinding and the engine refuses to turn over] --Damnit!! You boys can't do anything right, can you!? ...Jet!

Where--

...[just the view of a blank white ceiling, followed by the most horrible rush of deja vu. Waking up in a clinic bed, not remembering the days before it, save for a weird sense of dread. It is a terribly familiar feeling, and it's hard to pay attention to the bits of memories at first, around the initial panic. This was just like...

The memories do start surfacing, but that certainly doesn't ease her mind at all. Everything hurts, she feels exhausted to her bones, and even the first few blips of memory to come back are cringe-worthy. Fighting, drinking, stealing, and-- ...oh god.

Did she really... oh, holy
hell.]

...

[there's really only one thing she can do with all of this. After a minute or so of utterly horrified silence, there is a rustling, followed by the very distinct sound of a completely exasperated scream muffled into a pillow!]

[the journal falls open to a loud rattling sound and a small crunch of metal, accompanied by blaring Queen. Guess where Faye is!]

[an obviously drunken titter] --Oops.

[she shuts off the engine and hops out to sit on the slightly dented hood, taking her journal with her]

Oh well. He deserves it. Honestly... [a dramatic sigh] They all deserve it. And-- no. You know what? ...No, they deserve a lot worse. They're all just a bunch of little boys. They don't know how to have fun, they don't know how to treat a lady, and just... [a hiccup] I deserve better.

I deserve way better.

((ooc: more Eris-ing. She's out sitting on a slightly-crashed Bentley, slightly beaten up, and very drunk. Be warned, she is quite shameless and obsessively looking for a good time, so... beware. Or come n' get her. However you want to look at it.))

[she still sounds a little haggard and worn out from her ordeal a couple days ago, even though most of that weariness is mental. Not that it's stopping her from dwelling on it, of course]

[muttered to herself as she's paging through the journal] ...At least with the holidays, the things that happen around here make sense. This unexplainable crap just isn't fair... [a sigh!] ...I didn't even do anything this time.

[then there is a melancholy pause while she sets the journal on her lap and broods. She could go into town and order a nice dinner for herself, but spending money isn't going to make her feel better this time. Swindling money off the population isn't appealing either-- that sounds like work. And there's nothing around this stupid castle that... wait. Aha. An idea!]

...Screw it. I deserve this.

[normally she doesn't capitalize on the magical wish-granting properties of the castle as much as she could. Today, however? ...Well, there is now a train of ghosts delivering a veritable feast to a girl in the lobby. Why the lobby? Because she feels like it! Couches are comfy.]

Five minutes earlier... )

[Times like these, you hate having to rely on more magical bullshit. The voice over the journal is dictated in a tone that's calmer than it should be, but there's an angry undercurrent that's just waiting to challenge whoever is responsible. Has to be someone.]

If anyone knows CPR, or... anything, I don't care. I need you outside the castle. Someone's dying.


ooc^2: So very open! Journal or in person. Lost Room item related... because it's about time. Some girls have all the luck.

Goodness! A girl leaves on one little vacation, and the place goes to hell.
[don't let her fool you-- she was a cat.]  I guess that makes me lucky.

[a very pointed pause, then] ...I'm fine, by the way-- to everyone who was so concerned about where I've been. I wasn't kidnapped or anything, thanks for asking.

[is it another strange little cat? Why yes it is! This little cat, however, is obviously the best one. So pretty and clever, with those big green eyes... Don't you just want to take care of her? Feed her, maybe?

Of course you do!

This is why she has stationed herself conveniently in the kitchen, right in the middle of the table, where she can stare at you with those adorable eyes until you finally can't help yourself and simply must find her something delicious to eat!

Come on. You know you can't resist...

[Edward's sitting cross legged on the table in the common room of the Bebop, tapping away at her computer. In a few minutes, all the screens in the ship flicker, the images replaced by a slowly twirling Christmas tree. She giggles and kicks her feet, falling backwards to hang over the end of the table, looking at Ein]

Ein, come seeee!!

[Ein trots over and sniffs at the image, barking once in approval.

A deep voice calls from the other end of the ship, "EDWARD?! What did I tell you about messing with my ship?!"]


But Jeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet, it's Christmas! [waves her long limbs in the air before switching to her spooky voice] We must have a treeeeeeee.

[Jet sticks his head in, taking the cigarette out of his mouth and glaring at her, "But does it have to be on EVERY screen?!"]

[Faye had been able to avoid most of the craziness of this holiday by staying busy and staying away, spending most of her time on truly epic shopping trips into town. But it's cold, she's tired, and there's only so much walking she can do in this outfit. She's ditched the crinoline and hoops, but it's still a workout dragging these skirts around.

So, she's finally giving up for a while, and taking a rest. Flopping down in the lobby with hot chocolate and a pack of cigarettes, she kicks her pretty boots up onto the coffee table. Pulling out her journal, taking a breath, just trying to unwind a little

[Should you go down to the lobby today, you’ll find a large walk-in box standing to one side. A sign above it proclaims ‘The Secret To Paradisa’. The door to the ‘secret’ is locked, but there’s a collection box next to it asking for a 10 caiso donation for entry.

Despite the fact that he is indeed in the lobby, no one will see Crowley, as he’s currently Going Unnoticed. But he’s chilling in a corner, waiting for his buddy to show up.

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.
