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.

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!

Oh that's just awesome. I already threw the suggestion at Kasey. I always love a bunch of people all working in the same place. It makes things more interesting. Workplace shenanigans FTW!

Okay so the Main library is not attached geographically to the museum, it's in a different locale. Boo.

But how about this? Musée de l’Homme (which is a part of the MNHN)

http://www.paris-walking-tours.com/museedelhomme.html

Obviously we would have to just ignore the part where it's closed currently and being revamped into the Nouveau Musée de l’Homme. And since it's the Paradisa version of Paris, why not? I just liked the description of what's there, something for everyone, yes? Plus it has a cafe, and in another part of the main site it's mentioned there's a library there too, so we can fudge it.

It's probably best to give ourselves some creative leeway anyways. What do you think?

D: D: D:

WHY DID I NOT KNOW THIS EXISTED WHEN I WAS IN PARIS? WHY, GUIDEBOOK, WHY?



I am good with this! ....I wonder if I can get my parents to go to this museum in the spring when they go to Paris and get me a guidebook. >>

Oh man this looks amazing! I agree completely. I'll have to look through their exhibits so I can give a guided tour lol.

[identity profile] truthin-bones.livejournal.com 2011-12-15 04:08 am (UTC)(link)
...His guided tours should totally go in the non-public sections, like the labs and such. XD

LOL

"And this is Dr. Brennan, examining the remains of someone we think MAY be famous in some fashion but we're still not quite sure. If he WAS famous he'll be put on display. If he's not, well, this may be the one and only chance any of you may get to see him. Mind those chemicals! I can't be sure but they may be toxic."

I'm going to have way too much fun with this, really. XD

I am so excited about this plot. I HAVE MISSED BEING EXCITED ABOUT RP PLOTS.

And of course, the place where our muses can hang out, have a glass of vino after work, or eat... Cafe de L'Homme.

SOPRETTY

If you take Eleven out for some wine expect him to spit it out... as much as he'd like to say he likes it.
demonologist: (small smile)

[personal profile] demonologist 2011-12-15 04:59 am (UTC)(link)
We need to have at least one cafe gathering. Awww, Eleven, we'll find you something more palatable.
