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.

Comments

Then again, some of the items here are of much brighter colors than even the lightest ink. Of course, with such colors one would have to worry about blinding everyone in the village...

[youkai-buster.livejournal.com]

There are?

[paladinlost]

[Written with a yellow highlighter:]

YES.

[youkai-buster.livejournal.com]

... what is that?

[paladinlost]

I do not know. The tip is made of felt, and all of the available colors are similarly bright.

[youkai-buster.livejournal.com]

I see... those certainly will attract a lot of attention easily.

[paladinlost]

Especially the pink and the orange. I've rarely seen such vivid colors on paper.

[youkai-buster.livejournal.com]

Yes.

Did you have a special reason for looking for them?

[paladinlost]

I'm taking part in a project to help arrivals who have returned without their memories, through letters from the friends they've made here. Thus, I'd like to know what everyone uses to write.

[youkai-buster.livejournal.com]

That actually does sound like a great idea!

[paladinlost]

Thus, some of the arrivals will know who they can trust in this world, and make new friends more quickly. It should ease their adjustment period.

[youkai-buster.livejournal.com]

Ps there anyone helping you on this project?

[paladinlost]

Rydia is helping me find space for it in the Welcome Center, to make it accessible to everyone.

[youkai-buster.livejournal.com]

Oh? How exactly is this going to work? You're going to set up a place for people to write and receive their letters?

[paladinlost]

Yes. The letters will be written down in a book set on a desk. That'll make them slightly less private, but it'll reduce the chance of losing them, and allow people who return multiple times to read them again.

[youkai-buster.livejournal.com]

I see. So how much of it is all set up already?

[paladinlost]

We still need to find the exact location, determine how many writing instruments to keep nearby... I also need to see if any of these are incompatible with the book's pages, just in case, and there was talk of bringing it to the ceremony for those who have left.

[youkai-buster.livejournal.com]

I see... so you're going to test out all these writing instruments on the pages?

... there's a ceremony?

[paladinlost]

One of every type, at least.

There is. Archie Kennedy is arranging it, though I believe the exact date has not yet been decided.

[youkai-buster.livejournal.com]

That sounds like a lot of work!

So you don't know about the details yet?

[paladinlost]

If it helps preserve everyone's messages, it'll be worth it.

Not all of them. With the experiments and the arrivals and disappearances, organizing events must be complicated.

[youkai-buster.livejournal.com]

True!

Who's involved in this whole project then?

[paladinlost]

I believe Archie is the main and only organizer, though he must have received help to prepare everything. He asked for names a few weeks ago; he might ask for volunteers next.

[youkai-buster.livejournal.com]

I see.

Well, I'll see if he wants any volunteers then.

[paladinlost]

He'll certainly appreciate the help. Preparing such large-scale event cannot be a simple task.
