Stained glass windows? Murals on the walls? Maybe something simpler... white, with some paintings, at least. Comforters in nice colors. We'll need dishes, utinsels, furniture...
...Too early to think of that now. Slow down.

You know, I could see people taking some really mean lessons from this place if they were inclined to think that way. It's so easy to get along here that most of us forget, right? But then it pulls stuff like that, and even if you know what's coming - you know that whatever thing it got you to care about is really just going to be taken away, at the end of a week, two at best, usually. And yet we still fall into that, feeling that attachment, even though we know it'll just bring pain. So what's up with that?
Summer is coming up... really close now. You know, it kind of reminds me of home. By which I mean, last year it was hot, and it's hot at home too. Hot and humid and everyone's tempers get short. You don't want to do anything but lie around in the shade and pray that a breeze starts sometime, somewhere, and eventually gets to you. People go kinda crazy sometimes, I think. It's like having just months of hot days piled on top of each other is the straw that breaks their backs, and then they get nuts. Here's something that I hope doesn't happen in Paradisa. Of course, if it did, would we even be able to tell the difference? Sometimes I really wonder.
It would be nice if Paradisa would change up the weather within a month sometimes. A rainy day here and there, you know? Rather than a month of this, a month of that, until you're kind of sick of whatever's happening. Of course, at least we HAVE weather now, so maybe we're working up to variety.
When August starts, I'll have been here two years. I don't know what to think about that. Except sometimes, the longer you're here, the longer you seem likely to say.
I've been thinking about boats lately. Wouldn't it be nice to kind of spread beyond the castle? It's like our world is getting wider, but it's getting deeper too. There's more to explore. There's tons of stuff I want to figure out. Like right now, how powerful the castle really is, and where that power goes. I mean, something kind of weird: when we get outside into the Dead Zone, it seems like we leave the zone of the castle's power too. You can even feel it calling you back, out there. But, somehow, the journals still work. Are they something intrinsic to this world, something beyond or older than the castle, in that case? Or are they the only obvious connection the castle can still keep going? Like a skeleton crew. I mean, we don't get our permanent losses back when we leave the zone of the castle's power too... [...] I'm not sure how that's relevant. It's just a thought.
Blah blah, if you're bored or something and you like building, talk to me about the outpost project.

Hey. [a moment of where she just taps her fingers on the page.]
...How're you all doing? I wanted to discuss something... well, I mean, if it's too soon, I'll let it alone, but... I just wanted to maybe ask you guys about putting you in charge, sort of, of different parts of this project. That being the outpost project, ahaha.
If something happens to me, I want building to go on, and I trust the three of you to see things through.
