BE OUR GUEST

DEC 18th-28th



Continuing such memorable trips as New York ‘08 and L.A ‘10, Paradisa is giving it’s residents a real slice of life, this time in Paris!

Residents will wake up in Paris, France, in the year 2011, either as humans, or if you wish for your animal/robot/whatever not be human, as an animal or...tamagotchi or something (looking at you Delta). If neither of these options appeal, you may put your character on a loss for the remainder of the plot. But no powers, everyone is on the same level ground here.

Characters will have regular Parisian lives, going to work, going to school, being bums or struggling artists. Maybe some doctors can work in the same hospital, or some kids go to the same school. Feel free to plot away to your heart’s content, planning your characters Parisian lives for the plot. This is a fab time to cultivate yourself some wonderful new CR, after all!

As we’re in a foreign city~ there is an obvious language barrier problem. You can get through this by either Paradisa suddenly making it so your character magically KNOWS FRENCH, or you can have your character not know the language and struggle living in a city where everything might as well be written and spoken in Martian. It’s all up to you!

Also, if you guys have any handy Parisian links, feel free to add them!' We’ll add them to this post as they come in!

Of course, if you have any questions, please feel free to ask.

Leeeeeeeeeet's see.

Eleven's going to be a tour guide at a museum. It is how he keeps track, after all.

Phoebe's going to pick up her advice column... but in FRENCH!

Nora's going to be my fish out of water, not knowing the language. She's going to be a starving artist.

SOEXCITED I can't wait, seriously.

....would you be interested in perhaps having Eleven and Brennan working at the same museum?

[identity profile] kungfuwitch.livejournal.com 2011-12-15 12:27 am (UTC)(link)
Iiiii think that can be arranged :D

[identity profile] truthin-bones.livejournal.com 2011-12-15 12:30 am (UTC)(link)
Hee! I was thinking of having her be a research scientist at a museum in paleoanthropology? Since that was kind of her initial love and all in anthropology. :D

Ooooo that's an awesome idea. He'll go to the labs and pester her between tours.

Hee. This is going to be fun! :D

I don't suppose I could get in on this action with Wes too? As soon as I read about professions, I thought of him working in a museum or library too. It would be nice to have co-workers even if they aren't in the same departments.

Probably a good fit would be:

The Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle (MNHN) which is the National Museum of Natural History and located in Paris.

I'd be cool with this! It'd be fun to have more co-workers. What department are you thinking of putting Wes in?

Also: the MNHN museum would work for me. Thank you for looking that up! (Although alskdfjasldfj I can't believe I didn't go there when I was in Paris. D: )

I love this idea so very much. Kasey wanted Hermione working in a museum, too. I'll see if Hermione would like to join our merry bunch.

Apparently there's a central library there! Housing archived documentation from 16th century etc pertaining to natural history. So I think I'd put him somewhere like that. Looking into it. Hermione would be a lovely addition!
