PARADISE: REBOOT 

==== so, i mentioned this - paradise is undergoing a reboot. i will still be posting under "uriel", though.

“Ah– I’m sorry!” 

The stranger laughed as she ran a hand through her blonde hair. Her green eyes sparkled with amusement as she stuck out a hand. 

“That was a rather bad impression, wasn’t it? Hello. My name’s Ariella. Would you like a vacation?” 

You hesitantly shake her hand. Her green eyes are unnerving — they seem to stare into you, as if they know all your secrets. Nonetheless, they are inviting. 

The offer is tempting. Life is hard— as per usual. “Continue,” you say. 

Ariella giggles. “Paradise! That’s what it’s called. We promise you joy, relaxation, and utter, complete happiness! We have 5 stars on Yelp!” She winked as she flashed her phone screen at you. Yup, 5 stars. Honestly… that would be great. You wince as you roll your shoulders back. 

You’ve been particularly tired recently, haven’t you? The temptation of a paradise is certainly alluring. 5 stars… there’s no way this could be a scam. But… the travel costs. Those would be far too expensive. You shudder thinking about the plane tickets. 

Ariella seems to notice your wince. “Fear not! All costs will be covered, including travel!” With a flick of her fingers, she produces a cream-colored envelope with a glimmering golden stamp. “Fill this out and burn it, and you’ll find yourself on the way to Paradise!” 

You take it hesitantly, and the second you do, she winks and disappears into thin air. You unfold it gingerly. What… what is this? Your eyes scan over the shimmering text. 

Welcome, dear recipient! 

You, yes, you! You are cordially invited to the annual Midnight Masquerade in three weeks! Save the date! It’ll be hosted by Eden (courtesy of yours truly, Ariella), at the Ptolomea Masoleum, Ring 9 — we hope to see you there. Oh, did I mention? You’re also invited on a three-week trip to the Midnight Masquerade. We’ll be taking you through the 9 rings, in descending order. 

I know you’re hesitant. This is a vacation! A 5-star vacation! For free!! 

We hope to see you there! Oh— and there’s a form you need to fill out. Second page, please. 

Sincerely, 

ARIELLA ARCHANGELORUM
