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.

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]

[Considering he goes through so many...]

I'd appreciate that.

Would pens with blue ink be fine?

[Written]

[dragoon-pride.livejournal.com]

Blue would be fine, yes.

...Why the sudden interest in writing?

[Written]

[paladinlost]

...It's a small project for the village. A way to rebuild friendships with those who have left and returned without their memories.

[Written]

[dragoon-pride.livejournal.com]

Something to... remind people of their time spent here? A listing of memories?

[Written]

[paladinlost]

Letters, addressed to those who have departed, in hopes that they will return and wish to rebuild those friendships anew.

[Written]

I could see that it would be of great use to those who have such experiences.

[He knows if he ever left and returned, he'd want to rebuild certain relationships that happened.]

It would also help a fraction of the newcomers find allies in a world they'll undoubtedly not trust at first.

[Written]

[dragoon-pride.livejournal.com]

...I suppose that it would. I know I'd not trust anything about this place upon first arriving.

[paladinlost]

Not even those nice, well-made spears in the smithy?

If anything, the way everything was so convenient around here made it more suspicious. I spent most of my early months focused only on returning home.

[Written]

[paladinlost]

Everyone else must have found that belief exasperating.

[He means it nicely, honest.]

I spent as much time as I could away from the village, in the mountains.

[Trying to locate a Mount Ordeals substitute? ...Possibly.]

[Written]

[paladinlost]

[That damn BFF-stealing mountain. Dad, give Kain back every so often!]

They do offer a lovely view, especially of the ocean. Those hot springs also seem quite relaxing.

[Written]

[dragoon-pride.livejournal.com]

[Never! Even in an alternate world.]

I still spend a great deal of time there for those reasons.

[And of course, for the solitude.]

[Written]

[paladinlost]

Should you wish to try something new, you could certainly become a mountain guide, after all this time.

...I'll keep that in mind should I want a change in occupation.

[Written]

[paladinlost]

Having a supplementary income is always a good idea.

Around here, there's no need, but... who knows, with what the Malnosso are capable of.

[Written]

[paladinlost]

Introducing a brand new currency on such a large scale would be rather complicated, considering the limitless resources available.

[Written]

[dragoon-pride.livejournal.com]

It would be difficult, especially since this seems to be how it's always been.

[Written]

[paladinlost]

Yet even with Shifts, the food and the objects available here must come from somewhere. How do the Malnosso obtain them?

[Written]

[dragoon-pride.livejournal.com]

However they obtain them, we've no way of knowing. All of those items appear and are provided with no explanation.
