  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?

Re: Mobius | Original

[She's trying not to gawk. Not every day you walk out into the castle courtyard and see a guy with twitchy feathers on the sides of his head... So she skids to a halt and blinks for a minute...]

Hi. Welcome to Caer Paradisa.

[She writes in her journal, and turns it so he can read.]

[shelteringwings]

[He'll return that blink before leaning forward slightly to read what was in the journal.]

Caer wha?

[That sounded like some kind of dessert.]

... Thanks?

Uhm.

What is this 'Caer Paradisa' thing, exactly?

[silentrunning]

[It does sound like a dessert, one often containing disagreeable flavors, or so Chell'd say if asked to explain. But instead, she points over her shoulder to indicate the Castle, to say that that is Caer Paradisa...]

It kidnaps people from their worlds and brings them here.

[shelteringwings]

O...kay... So in short, you're trying to tell me this is magic.

Even though magic hasn't been in practice save for by one culture for at least two thousand years.

[He huffs.]

So where do I find the person responsible? I think I need to teach them a lesson- one about how kidnapping a member of the Archon Squadron is an incredibly bad idea.

[Though he's pretty convinced this is a pretty elaborate prank set up by Caelestis right now, so do excuse him, Chell.]

[silentrunning]

[She nodsto his question about magic, and then shrugs to the question about finding who's responsible.]

A member of the... what?

[She writes, confused.]

[shelteringwings]

You know, one of Hazaeth's most renowned Air Force squadrons..? [He tugs at the blue jacket he's wearing.] Really cool uniforms like this?

[He might be squinting one eye.]

You sure you don't know what I'm talking about?

[silentrunning]

[She's just shaking her head. Man, she has noooo clue what you're talking about.]

None of these names sound familiar.

[She writes.]

[shelteringwings]

What?

[He'll just... reach up and scratch the back of his head.]

... so basically, going back to where we started, we were plucked from different realities even though magic was gone a long time ago?

[Atta boy, Mobius, you're finally catching on.]

[silentrunning]

[She nods her head.]

That's right. [She writes.]

[shelteringwings]

[He'll just hang his head.]

This... doesn't make any sense. And that means my visor isn't malfunctioning.

[He lifts his head slightly.]

Sooo, what's a guy gotta do to get back out? I'd rather not get labeled a deserter.

[silentrunning]

[She looks at him. Oh boy! Time to give the Newbie Arrival Speech!]

You can't leave till the Castle sends you back.

[She writes.]

BUT time stops for you while you are here. So, no getting labeled a deserter.]

[shelteringwings]

... I can't leave. Really.

[What.]

...but that other bit is probably the best news I've read all day about it. At least I don't have to answer to the archduchess for that...

But until "the Castle" sends me back, I'm just on an impromptu vacation?

[silentrunning]

[She nods her head.]

Impromptu vacation is a good way to put it.

[shelteringwings]

I'd much prefer making my own plans. And I especially wouldn't take a trip like this alone. [Certainly not without his fiancé. Speaking of!]

Well, I don't suppose you've seen a gorgeous girl around here with short blue hair? Feathers similar to mine? Walking fashionista? I'd like to think she and I could share this 'vacation'.

[silentrunning]

[She shakes her head.]

Not seen anyone like that. Sounds kind of awesome though. I'll keep my eyes open and if I see her I'll point her your way.

[shelteringwings]

I certainly hope Alma wouldn't leave me stranded alone... [le pout.]

And how rude of me, you've been kind enough to help me and I never even introduced myself! [Especially rude because it's a -lady- he's talking to!] Name's Mobius.

[silentrunning]

[She grins.]

I hope she wouldn't either. I'm Chell. Nice to meet you.

[She switches the pen she'd been writing with to the hand holding the journal, and then offers him her hand to shake.]
