Fourth Wall Meme

It's the return of the Fourth Wall Meme, and we're opening it for the next full week!

paradisa does not allow non-members to post or comment in our main community, so we're offering this as a place to roleplay with our cast. Both character journals and personal journals are welcome, as well as doubles, original characters, AUs, whatever. Not all can be applied to the main game, but they're certainly welcome here.

Premise:
You wake up in a giant, magical castle. Everything is beautiful and the castle grants material wishes. It also provides a magic journal to every resident that allows everyone to communicate with each other like a two-way radio.

Format:
[Actions] Dialogue.

IE:
[Mickey Mouse enters the room, and sits down at the kitchen table.]

Gosh, guys, is this place ever swell!

What are you gonna do?

[this isn't the first time Lydia's found herself in a weird situation with an even weirder book at her disposal. at least this one doesn't read like stereo instructions. once she's read up on the "rules", so to speak, she wishes herself up a good Polaroid and goes exploring.

pardon her while she takes your picture. SNAP.]

[Okay. Okay. This is new. This is new and very VERY weird. But there's a perfectly logical explanation for this:

IT WAS A FRACKING ARTIFACT!

As such Claudia is slowly making her way around the castle with her purple gloves and an artifact collection bag systematically putting things into it to see if they go FOOM.

She's standing in the lobby at the moment with a small vase in her hands. She turns it over, looking at it for a moment before holding it and the bag out at arm's reach. She squeezes her eyes shut, turning her face away from it as she drops the vase into the bag.......

and nothing happens.]

[Bender wasn't quite sure how he'd gotten into this castle, but he was trying to keep it casual, walking along and whistling a happy tune.]

Man, I wish I had a beer.

[... and just like that, one suddenly appeared in his hand.]

Holy crap! ... how about a cigar, too?

[Bam.]

Best place ever.

[And now, a drinking and smoking robot is wandering the place.]

Let's have a party, there's a full moon in the sky, it's the hour of the wolf an' I don't wanna diiii-eeeee...

[the redhead in the oversized white blazer rummaging in the fridge is singing to himself. yep, that's definitely a thing. he pulls a can of cherry coke out, tosses it up in the air, catches it, raids the cupboard for a bag of chips, and heads for the door.

half way to the lobby, he stops.]

What the fuck. This is not my kitchen.

[Hey castle, do you hear that familiar VWORP VWORP of the TARDIS?

Yes, yes you do. The blue box slowly materializes on the front lawn and a head with rather messy hair pops out of it. His grin holds for a few moments before he realizes this is not where he thought he was landing and he had most certainly been there before.

WELP.

His grin fades as he steps out, slipping his hands in his pockets and looking around]

This again, then?

[It seems like someone has decided to climb right up the outside wall this fine bright and shiny morning! Rather noisily, if truth be told - you might here the crunch of a grappling hook driving into the stone, of the smack of booted feet bounding up the wall as Hange uses her 3-D maneuver gear to make her way skywards.]

Hup, hup... wow! Not a wall in sight!

[Besides the one she's standing on, OBVIOUSLY.

She's not exactly showing herself a stealth master here. Residents, feel free to:

A) notice the lunatic scaling the castle at seven in the morning, poke your head out and yell at her

B) come across her when she's finally made it to the top, now standing on one of the parapets, slowly turning this way and that, gazing across the picturesque grounds to the town:]

Wow... wow! No walls, really...? No walls at all?

[And here was a very determined and dusty looking woman clad in brightly colored turkish trousers and a pith helmet. She is using a plain black parasol to prod at everything she sees.]

Edited 2013-08-18 13:57 (UTC)

Oh, bother. This place again.

[Cimorene sighs and sets down the two bucket sized servings of chocolate mousse she'd been hauling in each hand. And to think she'd only making dessert for the night.]

[The lobby has been invaded by a woman in a blue spandex jumpsuit and goggles. And a ridiculously large metallic weapon over her shoulder. She sighs and pushes her goggles and hood back over her head.]

Oh dear. Jack must have forgotten to calibrate the transdimensional filtration device again. At least it wasn't the entire house this time.

[She frowns irritably.]

He better get me back before dinner. I left the ectosamples next to the leftover casserole. Danny and Jack never have been able to tell the diffrence.

Hrrrm? This place again? Very hasty it is.

[Treebeard slowly moves out of the forest towards the castle.]

Oh. Oh!

[A beautiful, birdlike woman is currently flitting around the lobby at a terrifyingly fast pace, examining everything, but mostly looking under pillows.]

There's no teeth at all! Not a molar, not a bicuspid, not even one little incisor! But this isn't normally on my radar, the teeth must be around here somewhere...

( everything is prettier here. objectively more aesthetically pleasing than the old and rusted hull of the serenity, but river would rather be there right now. instead, she wanders with bare feet, the magical journal tucked under her arm. after a moment, she finds a quiet place to sit in the courtyard and opens the journal quietly.

instead of speaking, she writes. or more accurately, she draws. a picture of a ship, technically precise like the schematics of an engineer. she's lost. not lost in space anymore, but lost regardless. drawing helps to calm her, drowns out some of the voices in her head. )

[The handwriting across the journal is slow and careful, as though they are not used to writing and want to make sure they are understood.]

"To obtain something, something of equal value must be lost." I don't yet know what's been taken from me, but what am I gaining in return? I'm both a little eager to find out and dreading it.

[There is a well-dressed blonde-haired boy wandering the castle and eating an apple turnover, obviously savoring it. Being without the sense of taste for so long has made Al appreciate it all the more.]

[There's a long-snouted... thing in a white top hat dancing up and down the castle's corridors, twirling a cane and singing a merry song.

Over. And over. And over again.]

Ex-cali-buuuur! Ex-cali-buuuuur!
From the United Kingdom
I'm looking for him
I'm going to Californiaaaaa~

[An adolescent tyrannosaur stands in the middle of the courtyard, gazing up at the Sun in awe. He is not a T-Rex, though might be able to pass for one to the inobservant. His body is built similarly, with green reptilian skin and a height that’s at least two heads taller than a grown man. The most notable difference are the six claws, far more than a Tyrannosaurus Rex would have.

Despite the large number of humanoids milling around, he does not seem interested in hunting. With a quiet hissy voice, he muses.]

Barely a day has gone by since I've seen my own Sun, and here I am standing under a foreign one. Its Fire is beautiful...

[He shakes his head.]

But why am I here? I thought I was needed back home.

[This is not home. That much the young woman can understand, but beyond it everything is a mystery. In very simple dress she walks the halls, carrying herself in a way that is far too old for her youth. There is a tartan cloak, its color akin to a pastel blue, hung over her arm. It's too hot to wear the damnable thing inside.]

Hm...strange. Very strange.

[A lone troll wanders through the castle floors. He seems to be incredibly lost but isn't choosing to show it. Instead he just continues forward, speaking to himself in a low tone. He tries several times to open a few doors, but it just ends with him accidently flattening or ripping out the knobs. He also seems to be quite angry at the moment.]

D --> Where the goshdang heck am I
D --> This castle is not in anyway connected to my hive
D --> I order whomever is behind this e%tremely infuriating change of events to stop immediately.

Dictated.

I require assistance dressing. I would be grateful for a slave allowed to me. I will treat her most kindly.

[A. Gardens

The time: early afternoon. There's a young woman crouched at one edge of the path, staring intently at a particular pouch of flowerbed. Is she all right? What could possibly be so interesting over there?]

[B. Game Room

Osaka's discovered a computer. Osaka's discovered Castlenet. Osaka's discovered Nyan Cat. Someone please save her. She might never escape on her own.]

((OOC: it is worth noting that Osaka is in street clothes, not a school uniform. THE ICONS LIE.))

[ Here's a familiar face stalking the halls. Jim has a look of annoyance on his face...he wasn't exactly planning on coming back here.

Honestly whatever happened to letting the dead stay dead?

So yeah..he'll just be wandering the halls. He figures this is only temporary so he's not making much of an effort to stay hidden like he did during his stay.]

[ Well then. Elias officially has no idea what the hell is going on. Kind of busy strategizing to save the Earth from alien invaders, but hey, if the giant castle calls...

No wait, still confused and angry. In fairness, that's been one of his default modes for a while now. He's doing some very animated pacing, having tossed the journal off to the side after a cursory glance. A book. Like it's seriously the time for a book. ]

Man, like I ain't got better things to do right now? [ Yeah he said it, ceiling, deal with it. ] Must be some kind of crazy dream.

[A brightly-clad teenager is stalking the hallways. He's being very quiet and very cautious; Batman would be proud. (It's a bittersweet feeling.)

This is definitely the weirdest kidnapping he's had, and that's saying something.]

[ Somebody is very, very upset.

That somebody is a scrawny white-haired girl. She's currently letting the castle know just how upset she is by kicking over pots, tearing paintings off the walls, and cutting furniture in half with her over-sized (and frankly very weird looking) sword. ]

The fuck am I here for!? If you think I'm going to take this lying down, you've got another thing coming!

[ ....Agria I don't think random property damage is going to make anybody take you more seriously.

Feel free to run into her anywhere inside the castle breaking shit. Just be aware she is mentally unbalanced and finds murder to be a pleasant hobby. ]

[He's wandering around with a confused and thoughtful look on his face]

Strange... I've never been here before but I feel like I have.

Hm, must be my imagination.

[One of these new arrivals seems far less alarmed than one might expect. After all, this wasn't the first time that Nita found herself someplace unexpected. It calls for caution, certainly, but it's no reason to panic.

It is a reason to explore and that's exactly what she's going to do. Don't mind the teen girl wandering through the halls, muttering to herself.]

What have I gotten myself into this time?
