[Lilo yawns, a big yawn. But it stops short.]

...huh, wha?

[This isn't where she went to bed. This isn't her room. Where's Scrump? Where's the smell of her sister's coffee, the picture she keeps under her pillow? Out of the bed she goes, still in her mint-colored sleeping gown.]

...Where am I?

This isn't my house!

[A groan.]

This doesn't look too much

You're not on Earth, but you're not on a Spaceship, either.

Welcome to Cair Paradisa. [Her tone is actually pretty flat and dry and ... not exactly welcoming.]

[rockthehula]

[Excuse curious 6 year old for yelping at the fact that her journal just talked.] A talking book?! Wow!
Paradisa? I've never heard of a name like that. Wait a second, if we aren't on earth then... where are we?

[inmylight_comdr]

[Just ... give her a moment to regain her sensitive Spartan hearing.]

Your journal doesn't so much as talk as transmit voices from the other residents with journals. I am Kat Sierra-320, I can be found in the hangar on the castle grounds.

Paradisa is the planet. Where it is in relation to Earth is currently unknown. You're in the Castle Paradisa. It's magic. [She still hates that word, and it's probably evident by the distaste in her tone.] If you don't believe me then wish for a hamburger or something.

[rockthehula]

[Moment granted.]

Oh... Kinda like a walkie talkie? Kat Sierra-320... That's a really long name. I'll call you Kat! I'm Lilo!

Magic?! [Oh, Lilo loves the word.] I'm in a magic castle?! What kind of magic can a castle do...?
[She will. And in a moments notice, the pizza she wished up appears.] It can give you FOOD?!

Tiny kids unite!

[goldencirclet]

...what's a spaceship?

Re: Tiny kids unite!

[rockthehula]

Where aliens live! Well, how they get around. When they're on it, they can go from planet to planet! And they , you know, do things like operations and dissect humans to see their insides!

[goldencirclet]

Ewwwwww they do things like that?!

[rockthehula]

Yeah they do! I think they do... I wouldn't if I were them though.

[Conan, unfortunately, is currently on a loss and believes himself to be seven-year-old Shinichi Kudo. Which may explain his rather blunt response.]

Aliens aren't real.

Re: [Dictated]

[rockthehula]

How do you know they aren't real? They could be watching us right now!

Re: [Dictated]

[modernholmes]

Something that doesn't exist can't be watching us.

Re: [Dictated]

[rockthehula]

But...
what if they do exist? And they were watching us? And they do exist!

dictated forever

[wornbright]

[ uh oh. distressed child. ]

Hello?

Re: dictated forever

[rockthehula]

Hi!
Do you know how I got here...?

1/2

[wornbright]

Uh... I do!

[wornbright]

And I know it'll sound like a fairy tale but it's real!!

[kungfuwitch]

[A little girl? Oh this castle is just cruel]

Hey, sweetie. Did you just wake up here?

Re: dictated

[rockthehula]

[I know, I know. :c]

Yeah... Like a dream. I was at home when I went to bed! I don't even know where my sister is. Her name's Nani.

[kungfuwitch]

I'm sorry to tell you this, but you're not home anymore. [quickly] Don't worry. You're okay, no one's going to hurt you. And time kind of... stops... back home, so she won't even know you're gone.

What's your name, honey?

[rockthehula]

Yeah, I figured that part out. [Sighs.]
Why would anyone hurt me, anyway? I haven't done anything wrong yet! I don't think.
Time... stops?! So this magic castle can give me food whenever I want AND stop time?
Cool!

I'm Lilo!
