[ There's really no easy way to ask this, is there? ]

So, uh...

Where is everypony?

I mean, it looks like nopony's even using these journals any more. What's the point in an amazing, magical journal if nopony uses it?

[ Also, she might just be complaining because she can read the journal, but not books. THIS JOURNAL IS NOW HER NEW FAVORITE PASSTIME. SO SOMEPONY USE IT ALREADY! ]

[ The journal opens, and Twilight gives a small cough before addressing the journal. ]

Is this thing working? [ Oh, hey, writing is appearing! It is working! Welp, have another clearing of her throat before she starts then. ]

Dear castle residents,

If anypony was worried about the, you know, large and rampaging dragon, you don't need to worry any more. He's back to normal - a small and completely harmless baby dragon.

I know he took a lot of your things. Please, please don't be angry with him. He's really a sweet little guy, and I'm sure he'll feel very bad about everything once he wakes up.

Buuut if you have had something taken, please let me know. I've collected all of the things he took, but I'm afraid I don't know who anything belongs to. If you let me know, I'll be glad to drop the items off in your room, or you can come by and pick them up yourselves.

Thank you.

Your friend, Twilight Sparkle

Chapter one

[ It's been about five minutes since the castle residents got back from Paris. Time for a new pony person to make an appearance!

The journal is, naturally, open as the castle's newest resident comes to. There's the typical gasp of shock, the sound of clamoring, and... hooves on tile?

These sounds are shortly followed by an almost hysterical girl's voice. ]

This isn't the library! What's going on?

It almost looks like Canterlot, but that can't be possible. We're not supposed to go there until tomorrow, and I would certainly remember if we set out early...

Is this a prank? [ She actually begins to sound relieved there. ] It must be. Rainbow Dash? Pinkie Pie? This is all your doing, right?

[ And, after a moment, she begins to sound panicky again. ]

No, this is way too much for a prank.

[ And then... a smack. She just smacked herself. With a hoof, yes. ] No, pull yourself together, Twilight! You have to figure this out! There's obviously magic at work here, and magic is your special talent! You can do this!



[ Somepony please interrupt her. She's going to go crazy. ]

[The lobby. Nothing eventful here, right? Nope.]

Okay, Rarity. Just - hm. Okay. You magic me up a dress and hairstyle, and we'll see if any words pop up around you or around me. But remember, this is research. Nothing too - oh, who am I kidding, just do your thing.

Well... all right, if you're certain. But it seems like such a shame to just use this merely for testing a theory.

[Still, Rarity's unicorn horn glows, and pieces of fabric, needle and thread zoom into Twilight from off-screen, obscuring the unicorn in a cloud of *fashion* and word-bubbles.]

Swish! Swirl! Swoop!

[There is a classic princess dress on Twilight now. Complete with glass slippers and all.]

...huh. Okay, now if I break this glass slipper you've put on me...]

B-break it? Twilight Sparkle, you can't be--!

It's not anything personal! I just need to see if it makes a noise!

Just one moment! I'll... I'll go and find you something far more expendable, and-- my stars, wait, whatareyou?

SMASH!

[That would be the sound of two ponies colliding. The slipper? Somehow manages to stay intact, though somehow Rarity is now wearing Twilight's tiara and Twilight's dress is flipped over her face.]

[ooc: purple = Twilight Sparkle, navy = Rarity.]

[The library in Cair Paradisa is rather large, as we all know. Right now, there is a purple pony on its second floor, and she is surrounded by books. A few shelves full of them. One is even open in front of her...

...only she's asleep. Yep. The fact that she's only occasionally left the library a few times once she figured out where it was has finally caught up to her.]

...and then that spell...

[Twilight Sparkle is also a sleeptalker.]

...mmr. Okay, Spike...whatever...

Dear Princess Celestia...

You're writing a diary entry, Twilight. Not a letter.

Dear Diary,

This is kind of embarrassing, but I'm not in Ponyville anymore. I'm not really sure where I am. It's pretty, and it reminds me of the castle back home. It makes me a little bit homesick, actually.

I don't know if anyone else from home is here. I miss everyone already. At least I have my magic, even if I - well, I'll deal with not having my Cutie Mark anymore. It's better that than losing something like my horn or my mane or something like that.

I don't really recognize anyone, and I feel kind of like a seahorse out of water. I need to find a library, or see if I can find my books or a map or something.

So, I guess I'm off to do that. I'll write more later.

Your most devoted student

~ Twilight Sparkle

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.
