  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?

Comments

hello friend :D

[that voice... He knows that voice. It's the voice of the man like him, but wasn't him. He smiles, sure that Strexcorp somehow arranged this. Only a business like Strexcorp would have the funds to bring his double back. Kevin only wishes he had an intern to share this with.

But he has this journal, and all those unknown listeners waiting on his next comforting words]

Listeners, what an amazing privilege you have today! Not only to be living in this beautiful world, but to hear two voices on your magical journals. I know this man, friends. I met him in the vortex during that sandstorm several months ago. Now we are meeting again.

I've never had a co-host before. What a blessed opportunity!

[Meanwhile Cecil is inwardly cursing his luck and possibly arranging to put some protective omens around his general area, construct a bloodstone circle he can pray in, and maybe possibly sacrifice a goat for good measure. Where is the Sheriff's Secret Police when you need them?]

Listeners! Oh, dear, dear listeners, heed my words. This man wanted to harm me and rip me to pieces. He possibly had had murderous intent, and as we all know, murder was deemed illegal several weeks ago by the City Council! I hope that whatever insidious forces brought this woeful beast of a man here to this safe and quiet place will return him back to that wretched town of Desert Bluffs...

[He really hates Kevin, he does, but then again, there's that sense of pity, the same feeling he got when he let Kevin live, so now he's feeling conflicted because he knows this man is dangerous, and...yet...]

I pray for you all, and hope that your days are long and fulfilled and do not involve this man in any fashion whatsoever.

Isn't this exciting, listeners? Two voices speaking, bouncing ideas between them like balls in a basketball game. Oh, and speaking of which, I hope everyone is excited about the new season. Remember to purchase your tickets at your nearest Strexcorp-owned building.

[he pauses, his tone concerned but still cheery]

My new co-host sounds very distressed. Well, I always feel better after a song and a hug. What about all of you? Feel free to speak out loud, as it seems I have no phone or computer to receive any calls or emails. Let's help our new neighbor have a better day!

can't resist, can't stop won't stop not sorry

[hard_talker]

... Uh, 'scuse me, girls? Girls?

You're both pretty.

[notasmile]

Why, thank you, listener! Yes, we are pretty. Aren't we all beautiful people in this beautiful world? Each one of us has their own special beauty inside them. If we only took the time to tell each other this, just imagine how much better the world would be.

Thank you so much for your comment.

[mouthing a silent 'wooooooow' to himself and leaning back from the journal] Tell me - how long's it been since your last glass of Kool-Aid, sir? And are you, by any chance related to a douchebag named David Deever?

[notasmile]

What interesting and diverse questions our listener has for me today. Being in a desert community, it's very important to stay hydrated. Strexcorp recommends plenty of Gatorade, easily found in any of their stores or vending machines.

I'm afraid I've never met David Deever, but it's always exciting to speak with new people. I bet he's a great guy!

[allhailtheglowcloud]

[He actually sounds cheerfully happy at that because YAY COMPLIMENTS which are actually not compliments at all.] Oh, why thank you, listener! [And then it falls right back down into "dark and threatening".] But no. That other man is not pretty. He has a smile, which is not a smile at all, filled with many teeth and god knows what else. His eyes are almost as black as the void itself, cold and unfeeling...

[There is a palpable shudder.]

Truly, not even his own mother would call such a grotesque face pretty.

[notasmile]

My new co-host is absolutely right. She would not have called a grotesque face "pretty". She would have used the word "artistic". Have you all seen the new art exhibit in the Strexcorp museum? It's full of grotesque paintings and sculptures done by some of our very own residents!

And remember, friends: the museum is a beautiful place, but pets must be kept on leashes at all times. We wouldn't want to lose our precious animal friends while we're basking in artistic splendor. Also, if you are taking your alligator out on a walk, be sure to use industrial-strength leashes, as sold in all Strexcorp pet stores.
