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.

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.

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.

[youkai-buster.livejournal.com]

Indeed.

What about you then? Do you need any help with finding writing implements?

[paladinlost]

Well, try as I might, I could not locate one of those 'keyboards', or instructions that would allow us to connect them to the journals. Would you happen to know more about those?

[youkai-buster.livejournal.com]

A... keyboard? I don't think I've ever heard of those things before...

[paladinlost]

I suppose they must be quite rare, then. They were only mentioned once.

[youkai-buster.livejournal.com]

I guess so...? What do they look like?

[paladinlost]

It is apparently a board with buttons for all the letters. It sounded quite advanced.

[youkai-buster.livejournal.com]

A board with letters? ... so if you press these letters, it's supposed to appear on the journals?

[paladinlost]

Apparently so, if we find a way to connect them.

[youkai-buster.livejournal.com]

I see... it does sound rather interesting.

[paladinlost]

They are supposed to make writing much faster, once you've learned where all the letters are.
