What the hell is going on? Genius and I just got out of the elevator and it looks like this place has gone to hell in a handbasket.
Is everyone alright?
Just how long were we gone?

Chapter 31. Sssssteam heat
Dec. 22nd, 2010 03:25 pm[The writing is a little sloppy, but recognizable as Rick's neat hand still.]
Man, this mechanical arm is so stylin'. Makes it a bit hard to write, though. And this hat makes me look ready to go on safari and have adventures.
I think I will turn this into a short story. Edensphere Mechanical Safari.

So I heard it's Genius' birthday soon.
And it'll be my birthday, too! How about that?
Mr. Grift, would you mind terribly if a bunch of partygoers descended on your place sometime around 7 on Sunday? I'll bring the cake and they'll bring the cheer.

RICHARD CASTLE
[[OOC: The following is added later.]] That's my name, don't wear it out.
Don't everyone come clamoring for my autograph, now. I am trying to stay as humble and down-to-earth as I possibly can.
Oh, and nobody go down to the Wilderness with Charger. Stupid cheese-for-brains ditched me.

Chapter 27. Noodle Incident

Here's a bit of free and sage advice, Sphere.
If someone offers to give you an Awful Waffle, DON'T TAKE IT.
It's not a food.
Let us leave it at that and never speak of it again.

I'm gonna be out today. Probably finding a quiet, cool place to settle 'cause it's so damned hot out and I've got the hangover to end all hangovers.
Boss, don't wait up for me. Man-twin, if you come back, don't wait up for me, either. Not like you would normally, of course, but still.
[Added later.]
Nikki, when you get the chance, I need to talk to you.
[[OOC: Kari, I know you're busy/slow right now, but if you want, we can handwave Derrick telling Nikki about Promise, or we can backlog it when you've got some more free time.]]

You know, I think Elvis is responsible for all this crap. Let's find him if he stops vanishing into thin air every time you try to get a good look at him.
... but check and see if it's me first, okay? I found a nice rhinestone suit in my closet this morning in place of my normal clothes. Stylish, but doesn't do much to hide my martini gut. I also walked out my bedroom door this morning and right into a barrier of duct tape.
Now that's what I call a sticky situation.
[Yes, Derrick has an opinion on Youth vanishing and on everything else happening, but he's not sharing here. You know him- he jokes to cope when bad things happen.]

Chapter 18. Maybe tomorrow is a better day
Jun. 6th, 2010 07:50 pmIf anyone cares, I'm gonna be at the Hatchery for a while. Volunteered for some extra shifts.
No interest in going down to that city.

Genius. My best buddy, my beloved man-twin, my brother, we need to have a little chat. Just you and me. I'll buy you all the starches you can eat. It's nothing serious, we just need to discuss our [pen taps] home situation.
Being in the happiest place on earth is so exhausting. Run around all day, watch the cocoons all night. Or in some cases, run around all morning, watch the cocoons all afternoon, go out at night and get totally smashed.
I could get used to this.

Coming soon- the touching tale of a pink sea monster and the one-eyed banana puppet that becomes her best friend and confidante.
The sequel to "Our Friend Nannerpus"... "My Friend Bernard".
Promise was my daughter.
She was here for months. My daughter was here, I spoke to her and had no idea who she was. No idea.
Now she's gone.
[There's a long pause.]
I really, really don't know how to feel about that.

[Referencing Derrick's mysterious delivery as noted here. Just- pretend the first sentence is changing color as he writes.]
Hey, whoever gave me this nifty quill pen and the ink? You're a peach.
[There's a pause as Derrick grabs a normal pen and switches back to ordinary ink.]
Don't want to waste the stuff, though. And the note you left with it doesn't make much sense. WHAT "coming storm", and how is spiffy color-changing ink going to help me with it? Unless sometime's trying to pull my leg and make me THINK it's about something. Quite a conundrum.
Perhaps I can make a special edition of "Our Friend Nannerpus" with this ink...

[Assume that Derrick's skimmed all the entries he's missed and spotted Genius'. Yes, he has an opinion on what happened in the elevator; no, he's not going to be sharing here. He doesn't quite realize how much time has passed, either.]
Hey, man-twin, why are you bitching that I haven't made you dinner yet? I was only gone for a little bit to get coffee thanks to dreaming about tea with Bernard. Took a bit of a detour in the elevator along the way, but it hasn't been THAT long, has it? Where are you, in fact? I thought you'd be here pining away for me, fork and knife in hand, looking pathetic til you get your supper.
[A pause as he thumbs back through his journal again, finds the last entry he remembers reading, comes back to the current page.]
...how DID all these entries pop up in such a short time period, anyway?

You know what sucks? Making books. Jeez. There has GOT to be an easier way to do this, especially if I'm going to be writing longer stories.
But worry not for now. My hard work has finally paid off.
ATTENTION EDENSPHERE!
I am proud to announce the completion of my first masterwork, a story about a friendly banana puppet we all know and love, entitled "Our Friend Nannerpus"! Authored by me, Derrick, and illustrations provided by a lovely person who wishes to remain anonymous. There are limited quantities available... very limited... as in... they're not for sale right now, just to be borrowed. I don't seem to be able to catch the guy who runs the bookstore, so please stop by my place in Section 3 if you're interested.
AND YOU SHOULD BE.
Play nice, everyone~ we'll all get a chance to read it eventually.
[[OOC: And there you go! "Our Friend Nannerpus" is a short childrens' story about Nannerpus and his pancake-giving generosity, and I don't feel like coming up with the whole thing so- ah, feel free to make shit up? XD There will be 5 copies floating around (there were 6, but he saved the first copy for his man-twin, awwww) all put together and hand-written by Derrick, with illustrations done by an NPC.
ALSO, HAVE A FREELY-GANKABLE COMMEMORATIVE ICON]]

Chapter 4. 25 or 6 to 4
Dec. 14th, 2009 10:30 pmSo- a query for the esteemed residents of Edensphere. I hope it makes sense.
Is it normal to see someone or someTHING that reminds you of something, even if you don't know WHAT it reminds you of? I've experienced that sort of feeling recently, and for some reason it's really bothering me. Not even tasting like whipped cream can make up for it.
[[LATE OOC Addendum: Derrick has no idea that he also helped investigate crimes on the side in his pre-ES life, so Stoneface's murder is pinging the shit out of him for that and he has no idea why and it BUGS HIM OKAY. He won't say that directly, though.]]

Chapter 3. Purple Haze
Nov. 23rd, 2009 03:03 pmI want to know what the hell kind of drugs this place is on, and more importantly, where I can get some. First, dreams about silver trees and an orange sky on Saturday night, and- I think my brain made up something about the fire I've heard so much about and made me dream about THAT last night... til it turned into an ocean. I have no idea. Maybe my subconscious is trying to tell me something.
I am also hard at work on my first masterpiece. It will be a touching work that'll be sure to please everyone and leave them CLAMORING for my autograph. Can't say anything more than that, because what's the fun if I spoil the surprise? Of course, I need to perfect my masterful book-making technique first. I, ah, am still learning the ropes.
[Derrick had Fred's dream Saturday night and Eternity's last night.]
