[urg. this feeling wasn't exactly what Dextera had expected when he had decided to have a drink. clean water, in his world, was a very rare thing so he usually drank as much as he could here since the mute was aware the human body needed it to work properly.

when he found that it tasted a little...differently, he didn't mind. there were worse things in the world to drink and while it tasted strange, he could cope.

later in the day however, and after drinking what would amount to half a bottle of vodka, Dextera is truely hammered and trying to find has way back to his room. it's proving difficult for him since he was having trouble walking in a straight line, he felt like he was going to be sick any minute now and he forgot what his room number was.

again, urg.]

[if anyone is in a random park today, they might spot a homeless person (who may look familiar to a few of you) sitting on a bench and who's also getting a few weird looks from passersby.

coming closer reveals that Dextera seems to have set up a bit of a painting area for himself, but he's not exactly painting the scenery. two finished paintings were already leaning against the bench and Dextera was just starting a third one. he looks a little hopeful whenever someone stops and stares at the....art, but they soon walk away again.

his stomach growls and the mute sighs. he knew the basics (selling things = money = food) thanks to the Coffin Man, but he didn't know why it wasn't working.

....price tags might help here, if he knew what they were, and less morbid art but he was more worried about where everyone else was. it didn't help matters that Dextera was still lost.]

[going outside today will net you one confused member of the Koriel going full out WTF at the weather. it's cold and he can't help but flinch everytime snow falls on him because Dextera has never been in a situation where something cold didn't hurt him. but so far he's deemed it safe to wander around and try and figure out exactly what was going on.

oddly enough, the strange fireflies wandering around the area don't bother him at all. they're pretty but apparently harmless. so far, anyways....]

[after chatting with Stocking awhile back, Dextera decided to go to the library to check out a few books.

specifically, books on how to make desserts. food, like flowers, was something that interested him and he wanted to learn how to make things like this. mostly to find something to do ~~and another way to avoid that funny little thing he did back home~~.

so Dextera starts writing a list, occasionally scribbling in the books themselves. he wasn't sure what exactly everything was but he was sure he'd find out soon.]

[ooc: open and backdated to a less ungodly hour.]

twisted-baroque.livejournal.com

[written down like usual.]

If you're not sure what to do today, what do you do? I'd like some....[what was that word?] suggestions. Help? Something like that.

[a long pause then Dextera writes a note for himself.]

Make a list.

[Felix & Ashura]

Where are you? Everything moved.

[written]

If it's okay, could someone tell me where my room is?

[a pause and then he realizes that his name is needed to answer the question.]

My name is Dextera.

[ooc: Dextera is now on the second floor (room 227), so feel free to tell him if you spotted it. Or troll him and tell him it's somewhere else.]

[thanks to Dextera's poor luck and Fluttershy's shiny new meanness loss, this little mishap happened, leaving the library in a mess and the mute stuck under a pile of books and a heavy bookcase trapping his leg underneath it.

he's pretty much stuck for the moment but he does have a free arm to scribble out something in the journal.]

In library. Please help.

[open to help the idiot.]

[after getting some words of encouragement from Felix, Dextera has decided to try and find a way to spend his 'break' that doesn't involve digging holes in the garden.

so the mute derp is back in the library tonight, having amassed a collection of books, board games, videos (for some reason) and other sorts of wished up items. he's taken most of the games apart - and forgotten to put them back, so watch where you step because there may be peices on the floor! - and the videos are on the tables and stacked in order of what he'd like to see at some point.

as for the books and Dextera himself, they can be found in the back of the library. he's got a number of fiction books and is reading them with a small smile, though it looks like Dextera is about to fall asleep soon.

...he'll apologize for the mess later on.]

[Dextera's room has been transformed into a town - one with a constent feeling of dread. Above is a blood-red sky, clouds, but no stars, no sun, the ground had no vegetation, no flowers. It looked as miserable as it most likely felt. The only really consistent thing was the picture of a red cross plastered on the walls of the houses.

Farther in the town reveals that there are people living in this place, though calling them 'human' seems to be stretching it.

There's a woman sitting on a bench, staring blankly forward. She also has horns sticking out of her head, twisted like a tree's roots. Across the street from the woman is a man with a coffin strapped to his back and he's whistling as he fixes another one from a pile nearby. Farther down from the pair is a strange thing; a person covered from head to foot in a large bag and heavy chains and ropes keeping them bound in place. And lastly, stumbling out of an alleyway is a man with an extremely long neck, curling over himself to clutch at his head.

The only person who's missing seems to be Dextera himself. Are you going to ask where he is, or what this place was?]

[ooc: Welcome to the first layer of Dextera's headspace~ More information about it can be found here. There's just two things you need to be aware of:

In the first layer, if you choose to talk to the Horned Girl, please include your character's thoughts because her Baroque only lets her repeat someone's thoughts.

In the second layer you may be attacked by a Meta-Being and if the attack connects, you'll get to see one of Dextera's deaths. These memories are violent so if you don't want your character to experience them, just dodge and run (the Meta-Being won't chase you)]

[well Dextera's curiosity regarding flowers seems to have finally won out, so today one can find the mute hanging around the gardens again along with wished-up gardening tools, a few books on flowers, and some seeds.

right now he's digging some holes for the seeds - getting quite dirty in the proccess of things - and seems quite determined to finish this. Dextera likes the idea of actually creating something instead of destroying it.]

[ooc: open like usual.]

[Dextera is hanging around the lobby today, seated in one of the couches. there's a bag of bones by his feet - though Dextera doesn't own a dog - and the Angelic Rifle. however, the mute's attention is on the object in his hands that he's turning over and over.

eventually he sighs and puts the object back into his bag before leaning back and closing his eyes. someone is tired but he doesn't know why.]

( Private )

[today Dextera has made his way to the library to read. the Baroques he possessed only told him so much after all, and he wanted to learn some more things.

so he's taken out a pile of books and found himself a nice corner to read them in. on occasion Dextera tries reading out loud but all he gets is that soft choking sound so eventually he just settles for just mouthing the words to himself.

he's pretty much absorbed in reading so it's quite easy to sneak up on him.]

[ooc: open to anyone in the library.]

( Felix )

[written in what Dextera hopes is different handwritting than usual.]

Why are memories important?

[ooc: loss over.]

twisted-baroque.livejournal.com

[dispite the outcries and general annoyence at the trashed castle, one person is at least enjoying himself.

there's a little boy wandering around the castle, dressed like this (wings and all). he seems pretty excited to be here and is examining everything he can get his hands on. it's all new stuff for someone that's spent most of his life in a hospital, after all.

but there was something bothering the little boy as well. where was his brother...?]

[ooc: child loss is on and open. replies will come once I'm done class :>]

( People who Dextera knows )

[anybody up on deck can find Dextera hanging around by the edge. he's never really seen a body of water like this before, so now that the danger is gone for the moment he'll be out here for as long as he can be. was this the Pure Water that Eliza was looking for? She'd like it here...maybe Alice too...~~without all the flesh-eating monsters, of course.~~

eventually, he shrugs out of his blood-stained coat and pulls at the bandages covering his hands and arms. Dextera can't help but wonder if this was something his world used to have and 'wondering' tends to make him less than happy.

Anybody want to give him some company?]

[ooc: open in person for Route A people~ if you've talked to Dextera at least once, you can see the filter :> ]

( Esther )

[and today Dextera has gone out into the gardens to clear his head. during that loss he still retained his sense of guilt, which was depressing. maybe even here he couldn't escape it. though that really wasn't much of a surprise. it was just a silly wish to forget about it for awhile.

he sits down by a patch of flowers, lost in thought and rubs his eyes. they were starting to prickle again.]

[ooc: open. replies will come once I'm done class :} ]

[well the sudden amount of arrivals has caught Dextera's attention, who - for the sake of everybody's sanity - didn't get a kid.

so he'll be wandering around again, watching everyone with their children. he can't help but wonder if it was like this before the Blaze happened back home. not that he could remember anyway.

eventually Dextera decides to ask the people here what it's like. grabbing a pen, he writes:]

What's it like looking after children?

[open in person or by journal.]

twisted-baroque.livejournal.com

[there's a soft choking noise heard over the journal before Dextera starts humming. it seems that he can't say those words anymore, which is good. less likely to give him nightmares once he started sleeping.

speaking of which, the mute derp is wandering around the castle -- no surprise, really -- but this time he has a blanket and pillow that he wished up, thanks to Nudge's suggestion to try the wishing thing once the loss was over, and seems to be looking for a place to sleep.

...guess someone doesn't know the room with his name on the door is actually his.]

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.
