Which writing instruments do you generally favor?

[Written with a ball-point pen:]

Are they the same you could find in your worlds?

[Written with a graphite pencil:]

Also, what are all of these named?



[Written with an ink brush:]

Rydia, I'll need to speak to you.

[Beside the top three, Selphie draws in arrows and responds as follows:

Quill: ???
Pen: Pen!
Pencil: Pencil!

Then she switches to voice.]

Why're you writing with a paintbrush?

[voice]

[paladinlost]

Thank you. It was amongst the pile of writing instruments, and I believe I've seen them used in Eblan before.

[voice]

[boomchucka.livejournal.com]

I usually just use a pen or pencil, personally. Although... I suppose the journal could always use a little colour.

[But she'll leave that to the kids who are around that age to do that sorta stuff.]

Eblan?

[voice]

[paladinlost]

Some of those inks and pencil are indeed rather colorful. Perhaps I should procure a few for the book.

Eblan is a kingdom far to the south of Baron, ruled by King Edge. It is home to a long-standing ninja tradition.

Bored, huh? I don't usually write unless there's need to do so; speaking through this is just easier.

I'm available now. Meet you at home?

[Voice]

[paladinlost]

This message is not quite due to boredom, to be honest. But that can wait until we speak. I'll be there quickly enough.

[And by quickly enough, he means Teleport.]

[Voice/Action]

[eidolon-soul.livejournal.com]

So will I. See you in a minute.

[Warp spells are wonderful things. She arrives in her room and departs a moment later, heading for his and knocking on the door.]

Cecil?

[Action]

[paladinlost]

Come in! Be mindful of the floor!

[Cecil is sitting on the floor, surrounded by enough pens, pecils, quills and brushes and crayons to last five years or so. On his knees is an enormous, heavy-looking volume bound with leather.]

Keyboards. Barring that, pens.

[Voice]

[paladinlost]

Keyboards? I'm not familiar with those. What do they look like?

[Voice]

[daisy023]

It's... a board. With keys.

[Use your words, lady.]

They're part of digital equipment and typewriters. It's a board that has a button for every letter, symbol, and number, and other functions.

[Voice]

[paladinlost]

A button for everything? It must be quite large and complicated to use. Would it work with a book?

[Written]

[honorthecode.livejournal.com]

It depends on what I'm writing. I usually use a pen or a pencil.

[For like working on his schedule.]

But if I'm doing calligraphy, I prefer a quill.

[Written]

[paladinlost]

Do you favor any particular ink type or color? A specific pen or pencil?

[Written]

[honorthecode.livejournal.com]

I prefer just black ink. It's simple and yet can make amazing things. But for pens, I prefer ball-point pens. They're neater. Pencils, just the normal writing type pencil will do.

[Before April, their writing instruments were probably whatever they found in dumpsters, or at the dump. Or even in sewer water. But Luceti's giving him much more variety.]

[Written]

[paladinlost]

You say that ball-point pens are neater. As compared to what? Are there any pencils that are not the normal writing type?

[By the type he's through with this, there might be a shortage of anything that even remotely looks like it could be used to write.]

[Written]

[dragoon-pride.livejournal.com]

I've grown accustomed to the 'ball-point' style of pens.

[Mostly because he needs to write to communicate, and it's more of a nuisance to carry a whole bunch of quills and ink all the time.]

[Written]

[paladinlost]

Would you like me to bring back a few? I'm already stocking up on everything.

[From quills to pencils to crayons.]

[Written]

[dragoon-pride.livejournal.com]

[Considering he goes through so many...]

I'd appreciate that.

[Written in an ordinary lead pencil]

This one!

[Voice]

I don't know what it's called, though. But there's lots of them at the shops and I can rub it out when I make mistakes.

[voice]

[boomchucka.livejournal.com]

It's a pencil!

[voice]

[paladinlost]

Pencils, as she said.

[Not that Cecil knew that two hours ago.]

Do you favor any particular type of pencil?

[youkai-buster.livejournal.com]

A calligraphy brush.

[paladinlost]

How do you choose your brush and ink?

[youkai-buster.livejournal.com]

Now? Well... I usually use a brush that is neither too stiff or soft and a fine, thick ink.
