[after listening to some of those reactions to that number]

Really? ....I mean really??

This is what does it for you people?

Rampant bouts of nightmares, almost daily screwing with our personalities and bodies, villains and monsters of every kind living right around the corner... not to mention people spilling blood and other creepy crap on the

Hey, not everybody is freaking out.

[need_to_rule_it]

I didn't say everybody.

[payback]

Good.

I suppose it's a bit of a reflex for people to be skittish by now.

[need_to_rule_it]

You'd think so... It just doesn't make sense what sets them off and what doesn't.

[payback]

Hm, that's true.

I dunno. We might as well get prepared, but there's no point in panicking.

[need_to_rule_it]

Oh yeah, sure. I'm sure something terrible is going to happen. I just don't see why this is a more of a sign of that than anything else.

[payback]

That's a fair point.

You know what I think is funny?

[need_to_rule_it]

What's that?

[payback]

That people's big question is how would the castle write in the journal. It's a big honking magical castle. Why wouldn't it be able to write in the journal it probably created?

[need_to_rule_it]

Is that even the reigning theory?

[payback]

About the castle creating the journal, or the castle writing that thing, or...?

[need_to_rule_it]

Oh, the castle being the mystery writer.

[payback]

Well, that's kinda what I'm chalking it up to right now. It could be wrong. But really, do you think the castle couldn't write something if it wanted to?

[need_to_rule_it]

Of course it can.

...I just thought it would have better taste.

[payback]

I dunno, Paradisa can be pretty silly sometime.

[need_to_rule_it]

Yeah. [disgruntled sigh]
