I think... [she's smiling as she talks to the journal, which is very evident by the lift in her tone.]

I think everyone a'you should come down here.

Because... [There's a long pause as she turns the blender on. Sorry for the noise.

Then the blender stops.]

Everyone should come down here; the castle did it again. [She inhales deeply, then ( Read more... )

[It's late, Jo's just come back to her place after pulling a long shift and she's just now noticing the plethora of cleaning products and ... movies staring Reese Witherspoon that have accumulated in her front room.]

Why do I suddenly feel like I developed some weird form of OCD in my sleep?

[Muttered to herself:] Who needs this much bleach?

[Do smells go over the journal? Jo hopes so, because the Lux smells so good.]

Does anyone not have Thanksgiving day plans? Because, if you don't, which I'm sure some of you don't, you should come down to the Lux.

I cooked all day and all night and it smells so good that you all will be really sorry if you don't come ( Read more... )

[Jo is curled up on the couch in the lobby of the castle. She's got her feet resting on the table in front of her and she's surrounded by cook books. In the moment you can either pass her by, or you can come bug her.]

[She dictates to the journal:]

[The sound of a heavy table being dragged across the lobby floor can be heard over the journal. Then the clack of metal as two chairs are placed beside it. Jo picks up the journal with one hand and dusts her other hand off against her jeans.]

Does anyone else feel slightly... disconnected? I know that I live in the city and that I spend most my time going between here and the Lux, but I really feel like I haven't talked to people in a while.

Do I smell?

[She's teasing. She hopes!]

If anyone wants to get together this weekend for bowling or mini golf, I am completely prepared to kick ( Read more... )

I'm sure this is going to sound pretty crazy, but how many of us are still here that were here around Christmas? There was a talking cat and everyone that was here got a crystal. With all these people going home, I'm just curious what happens to all of those ( Read more... )

[Dictated over the journal (though anyone in the Lux will also hear her saying it):]Anyone that's been wondering when the Lux is gonna open back up, I have an answer for you. Today! Today it's back to... sort of what it was before ( Read more... )

[Well, apparently this isn't a mess that she can just clean up in an hour. She's tried.]

I'm not sure what happened in here last night, but I think at this point I can just call time of death.

The Lux is closed, official time of death... [she glances at her watch] Seven forty-seven in the morning on June sixteenth. Unless this is a leap year -- ( Read more... )

[There was an extra set of keys paired up with her usual set the other morning and after a long shift at the Lux and another today, Jo went to check on Eliot. He just wasn't there to be checked up on.]Seems all I've done lately is let people know that someone else went back home ( Read more... )
