[If there was one thing Ashura did love about this season, it was the chance to decorate. Usually he had servants, in his own world, that made such changes according to the seasons and celebrations, but he found an odd pleasure in take the time to set little things up around their suite and door. Not only did it give him something to do but it was ( Read more... )

[Despite something of a hiccup the night before, Ashura still could not help but be a little flushed today. He knew in his head that nothing would come quickly of the things said last night, but the idea it had happened at all was enough to bring a flush to his cheeks and a happy smile to his lips. And why shouldn't it?

So today, if you see him, you ( Read more... )

[There will be a small announcement through the journals today, perhaps a bit overdue, but it is finally coming and he knows he owes it, especially to certain people.]

For anyone who encountered me when I was infected with the Heavy Metal Shard, I am sorry if I hurt you during that time. I wish I could take it back, but it happened and though I was ( Read more... )

[Morning]

[Oh Paradisa. It is such a lovely morning isn't it? Birds chirping outside, gentle, crisp, autumn sunshine. It's one of those days you just want to laze about in bed, stretch a bit and maybe curl up to that special someone, and - ]

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

[Hear a very feminine scream of panic.

Now, normally, ( Read more... )

[Well, Paradisa, you thought you only had a few of those Heavy Metal guys wandering around, right? WRONG. There is another one! And yes, it is Ashura. Oh yes, it is Ashura. He looks pretty much the same as he always does, wandering about in extravagant clothing and a king's ransom worth of jewels. But today he has an added feature - a great, ( Read more... )

[Well... this was bound to happen. Something was bound to go wrong and the castle was bound to do something that would break the fragile days of... "peace". Though admittedly this was better than any invasion, or where leaves falling like rain considered an invasion? More benign at least, than anything they had faced in awhile.

Still, a man did not ( Read more... )

[Ashura sincerely hopes someone is listening, because he is running out of ideas, and attending to Fenris and Dextera and his usual activites only distracts him for so long, you know.

So today he is in the kitchen, staring down at a bowl full of candied almonds as well a serving of roasted duck with roasted green beans on the side along with a ( Read more... )

[It was a small blessing to be in his own 'room' after the... well, horror might be to strong a word and it might not, but horror was the only thing to come to mind, of Felix's room. It gave him insights into his lover's mind he had not known and was not sure he felt comfortable knowing, if only because such information had been so harshly gleaned ( Read more... )

[If you have your journal on you, hopefully you hear this sudden voice over it - sound a bit strained and tight, but not panicked - yet.]

If anyone is listening, we need help! Felix Harrowgate and myself, Ashura, are currently trapped in a labryinth somewhere in the castle, presumably in our room - number 1015. Though to be honest we have no idea if ( Read more... )

[Ashura's voice comes over the journals, along with the words being penned on the pages. Oh the magic of the journals. But now was not the time to wonder at them. ]

It seems I was asleep for quite some time and missed much. I have garnered some of what happened mostly that there was a battle, but would appreciate being filled in on everything that ( Read more... )
