Who: Conan and Anyone
Where: Kitchen
What: Cooking is tough when you can't reach the counter.
When: Now

Conan had been seven for four years now. But there were some things he didn't think he would ever get used to.

The simplest tasks became complicated when you couldn't reach anything more than three feet off the ground. He couldn't open doors without jumping. He couldn't reach a sink or a cabinet without a chair and some impressive gymnastics.

Which naturally had made eating a challenge in Paradisa. With no adult guardians to play the part of a kid for, Conan had been forced to fall back on his own extremely limited cooking skills. He could make coffee and barely heat something up in a microwave. And if he skipped a meal now and then? Well the brain worked better with an empty stomach anyway.

But after the heated argument with Dairine from a few weeks ago about his ability to take care of himself, Conan had been determined to prove that he could do better. Cooking was just following instructions, right? How difficult could it be?

And that was why Conan was now perched on a chair in front of the stove as he tried to puzzle through a stack of cookbooks and instruction manuals.

Who: Open to all
What: Voices
When: September 14th
Where: Anywhere in the castle
Rating: ???

The whispering walls haven't stopped their chatter; if anything they're louder now than they began. The castle has been the home of so many, is it any wonder that they have so much to talk about? On this day, they're beginning to become harder to separate from each other, but at the same time nearly impossible to ignore.

Residents will find that it's loudest in the lobby, which would make sense when one considers that everyone must pass through it upon entering the castle. Perhaps this is how a voiceless castle reminds them that no one is forgotten. Maybe the message is that they will always be a part of it... or maybe it's all just another ploy like most would suspect. Whatever the meaning they choose to believe, it's fair to say that nobody knows them better.

ooc: Plot mingle log. (Action tagging or prose welcome!) Make your own sections, or meet in the lobby; and keep your ears open

Paranatural Plot

2014-09-04T10:11:33Z

Posted by: paradisamods

Who: Everyone
What: Plot Ending - Darkness
When: Backdated to August 29th-Sept 1st
Where: Castle-Wide
Rating: PG

Between the 27th and 28th, the final battle of the plot begins when the Daevas are set loose on the Castle. Action for this battle can be played out here to be resolved by the 29th. The surviving victims of the Wendigo (Conan & Serin) were effectively rescued by day 5 (the 24th) and Mary will be gone one way or another by the 27th.

Effective midnight on the 30th, the castle returns to normal looks-wise, although that night is exceptionally dark and overcast, effectively hiding the moon and stars in the area surrounding the castle extending out to the borders of the dead zone. As punishment for taking its favorite new toys away, Paradisa is forcing two days of darkness on its remaining inhabitants.

Residents of both the castle and the town will be able to use only candlelight and small fires. Wishes for any other light source will be ignored and repeated attempts will result in the temporary loss of the ability to light a candle for a few hours. Unfortunately, there will be constant severe winds outside that create drafts and it will be a struggle to keep flames lit. Characters with the ability to create light will only be able to produce a dim glow that extends about two feet in any direction.

Electricity and any electronic gadgets will simply not work, and tinkering with them will result in a small non-life threatening (but unpleasant) electric shock with zero chance of success. The only exception will be any character that is a sentient piece of technology themselves or otherwise dependent on it to exist/continue living. In those cases, only the functions that allow them to walk and talk will be operable. Fancy tools and light sources will simply not function.

The sun will not rise again until the morning of the 1st, and with the dawn of September it's back to business as usual in Paradisa, all threats having disappeared and the castle itself returning to its normal appearance, with the exception of any lingering week-long death losses for the departed.

[ooc: Feel free to use this log to start your own dated threads in reaction to the darkness or the world going back to normal! Starting your own logs is also totally fine.]

PARANATURAL Plot Finale

2014-08-27T08:49:45Z

Posted by: paradisamods

Who: All you big damn heroes out there
What: The appearance of a mysterious altar
When: Days 7-8
Where: The Lobby
Rating: PG-13

Late Wednesday evening, residents might notice a subtle addition to the lobby. Had it been there the whole time? Was it perhaps hidden before? Were they simply not able to see it?

On a mirrored table now sits a goblet of blood, seemingly from which a strange symbol has been drawn on the surface. Miscellaneous talismans, animal bones, and tarots seem to factor in as well, and several candles are arranged in what seems to be a specific formation. It remains cloaked in shadow even when the rest of the lobby is brightly lit. Occasionally, an ominous breeze seemingly from nowhere blows, fanning the flames and lightly shifting the items strewn across the tabletop.

Who: Galadriel and whoever wants to interact with her

I’m just repeating the general comment I left in the main log and putting subsections with days and possibilities in the comments.

Rating: PG-13? Will contain mentions of blood, hallucinations, possible talk of past battles and all that entails, etc. Will update warnings as necessary.

Search Party Log

Who: Whichever idiots want to go out into the woods and figure out what killed April
What: Search Party!
When: Thursday
Where: The Lobby/The Grounds/The Forest
Rating: PG-13 otherwise tag your threads

She wouldn't normally care, but with the castle shifting to resemble anything remotely like her world, Meg was on edge. When she found April - or what was left of her - decorating the castle halls, that concern switched to full blown alert mode. The demon spent the night and half the morning poking around the castle, looking for whatever had done it on her own to no avail. By noon, she had circled back around to the lobby and stood there glaring at the pile of weapons, wondering what the hell the catch was.

Finally, she cracked open her journal. By now, more people surely would have seen the carnage.

"All right," she sighed heavily. "Anyone wants to go out and find what did it, meet me in the lobby."

Paranatural Plot Kickoff Mingle Log

2014-08-20T15:17:02Z

Posted by: paradisamods

Who: Everyone
What: Setting Change
When: Wednesday Morning
Where: Castle-Wide
Rating: PG. Otherwise, tag your threads.

Upon waking this morning, Residents will notice that Paradisa isn't quite itself. Everything will have begun to transform from flawless, timeless beauty to dingy, dated, run-down comparative squalor. It's all gone faded, brittle, dusty, and rusty. Furniture, upholstery, drapes, and decor have been replaced by unattractive mismatched veritable antiques ranging in style from Victorian to Mid-Century Modern, with no rhyme or reason to placement or styling. The castle grounds appear overgrown with dead or dying plants in place of the usual pristine landscaping, and the remnants of an old salvage yard with rusted out, broken down cars (mostly American made models from the 1950s-1980s) stacks of random mismatched parts and tires will appear out front.

Furthermore, each bedroom in the castle has transformed to resemble varying cheap, dated, themed motel rooms with garish wallpaper, clashing bedspreads, and outrageously cheesy decor. All personal items are still accessible, simply stowed away in everyone's awesome new vintage furniture.

All the rooms in the caslte will function as per usual, though they appear much worse for wear. The Lux has been transformed into a roadside diner, but the Death Match passed for a gritty enough dive to stay exactly the same. The library is especially worn down, appearing smaller, less organized, and by far less luxurious than usual. It now smells distinctly of the stacks of random, musty old books piled high on every available surface, seemingly aside from the shelves they belong on. The addition of a dusty old liquor cabinet might explain the occasional whiff of cheap bourbon.

Finally, a large trunk containing a stockpile of weapons has appeared in the lobby, neatly organized and seemingly capable of replenishing itself. Pistols, revolvers, rifles, shotguns, sawed-offs, associated ammunition and additionally: shotgun shells filled with rock salt, wrought iron rounds, silver bullets. Crucifixes, rosaries, flasks of holy water, military grade knives of all shapes and sizes, axes, machetes, flare guns, batons, flashlights, rope, bags of rock salt, lock picking kits, brass knuckles, wooden stakes, tasers, and duffle bags are also available.

Above the trunk, scrawled in messy lettering on the wall reads a message:

"You've got work to do."
