( Action for Community Building 2 Room 5 in the morning )

[Written in the afternoon - Filtered from Luke and Asch 100%]

Okay everyone, it's time to play a game. The game is called "Who left Paprika in the middle of the woods last night without her permission". All you have to do is say the name of the jerkface who left me in the woods at night.

C'mon, don't be shy. I just want to know why I woke up in the woods this morning, instead of my significantly more comfortable bed. It's okay, I don't bite. Much.

[...]

Also, can someone make me a new key for my house?

[ooc: tags come in the morning after I wake up and go to my classes]

[Through the weeks Paprika has been noticing more people coming through, signalling another cycle. It seems that most of the arrivals have already come and still no Atsuko. Well, that's probably for the best anyway. She can't say she would be happy to see the woman stuck here. For some reason she's been thinking about it. Probably because of the rain. The cold, dim demeanor reminded her of her creator. Kind of sad actually.

In the morning, she flips open the journal and begins. She has something she wants to address and given the rain, more people will probably be inside reading to see it.]

So, I see we got some new arrivals in the village. I'm sorry that you all got stuck here. ...Well, only half-sorry. If you actually want to be here, that's fine too. [A small smile.]

My name is Paprika and I'm a psychotherapist. For anyone who doesn't have 'people doctors' in their world, psychotherapists help people cope with certain issues they feel they can't resolve on their own. Like mental stress or the like. Specifically, my specialty is dream therapy. Psychotherapists are known for having interpersonal relationships, so it's like getting to know the person inside and out and not just talking to them for an hour a week.

I'll get to the point: if any of you have things you want to talk about, but don't feel like you have anyone who will listen or want to keep a matter private from others, I'm willing to lend an ear. Everything we speak about is confidential between us and I won't force it on you. I already learned to make unhackable filters on this system. Or, if you prefer, we can talk in person.

It's just an offer I'm willing to give to anyone who needs it. We have plenty of medical doctors, but sometimes the deepest wounds come from within the psyche. This goes for current residents too. Luceti can be a stressing environment and no one would blame you for getting stressed to a point where you need help, if you can acknowledge you need it. I'll be here all day to answer in.

[ooc: replies come when I wake up.]

MERRRRYYYY CHRISTMAS~!♪

[Yep, you see that music note right. Paprika is in a very festive mood. And might be just a little bit buzzed.]

Seasonal greetings everyone. Hope you've all had a great December, but January is coming shortly. Say, there's a tradition in my world: New Years Resolutions. I know Luceti probably doesn't celebrate New Years in January, because of the different worlds and what not, but what are your resolutions for the New Year? Goals, wishes, whatever you can think of! If you make it you have to keep it though - a resolution means you're going to work to making that goal a reality!

...Oh, and I hope some of you don't mind if I snuck into your houses and played Santa for the evening. I didn't touch the cookies for the real Santa if you left them, so don't worry I'm sure he got them!

[The following people received a box of gourmet chocolates by their bedside, wrapped in gold wrapping paper, with a little card: "Merry Christmas. May your wishes and dreams come true. -Paprika".

( OOC List )

...There are a lot more people here than I remembered.

Do these mass increases happen often, or am I just imagining things?

[ooc: for the purposes of the 4th wall, Paprika is visible to everyone. Pick any time during the two days you want.]
