No good, they don't have... How does this even work? I'll stay away from it for now...

[Rummaging noises come from the journal, numerous but careful. It sounds like someone is exploring the item shop.]

I apologize for bothering everyone, but could anyone recommend objects that are helpful to a household? Specifically, objects that are necessary for a new arrival or that can keep the house organized and clean. I'm not familiar with most of the products I find here, and I'd rather not bring anything that is useless or dangerous home. I'd be most thankful for your help.

[He falls quiet, and for a few moments only the sounds of items being moved can be heard. It appears his message is over, but-]

Also, Ceodore. What blade are you currently using?

[With that, his post is truly over.]

[ooc: Done!]

Oh, is this Mr. Harvey, then?

Ah, yes, I apologize, I should have said so. I hope I've not startled you.

Not at all! I wouldn't worry about the...the item. Sailors have been navigating without them for centuries.

True, but it would be nice if it could help. Do you know how far people can go on the local sea?

I haven't had the pleasure yet. Probably not far.

At least the barrier goes further east than it goes north. Otherwise, there'd not be much water to sail on.

I'm sure what little is there is barely deep enough for sailing.

The Malnosso do appear to care little for transportation. It would make sense for them to restrain the use of ships.

Or at least it would be consistent with their actions. But Jack Sparrow's boat should work well where a ship would be aground.

How did he obtain it? Is it beyond the mountains, or will it need to be transported there?

He built it himself. I think he's transporting it somehow. Something to do with a sea goddess.

...A sea goddess. Well, that somewhat makes sense. I've heard there are spirits here, so gods are not out of the question.

I doubt she is one, actually. In mythology she was a nymph, not a goddess. It's possible she's only deluded him into thinking she is one.

A nymph? Something between a spirit and a goddess, then?

More like a spirit, certainly.

Well, as long as she can move that boat, the details would matter little.

We shall see! I've been looking forward to being on the ocean again.

I suppose it must feel very different from staying on the shore, even during short journeys.

You've never been at sea?

Once, nearly two decades ago, and it ended badly. Since the creation of airships, Baron's navy has slowly been set aside.

Doesn't that leave you open to attacks by sea?

Our airships have cannons that can aim at the sky and ground both. In theory, any naval attack would be intercepted from the safety of the skies.

And the ships aren't equipped with the same cannons?

No engineer has yet managed to build a cannon that can hit an airship from a normal ship. It might be possible in ten years, but not now. Thus, the airships are more versatile. We do keep a few sea vessels, but we've had no need to use them in years.

I suppose with gravity working against you it might be a bit more difficult, but certainly not a feat of ten years. [He's already trying to work it out in his head.] How fast and maneuverable are the airships?
