[LOCKED TO WANDERERS AND ALLIES] ...[LOCKED AGAINST ANY BAD GUYS]

[beginstofly]

Hey, everyone!

Please make sure to lock ALL your journals entries about the fighting or the CLF or any other bad guys OR THEY CAN READ WHAT YOUR SAYING.

Lock comments, too, if you can.

JUST BE VERY VERY CAREFUL. 'Cause I have not been in the past. But now I know, and I wanted you all to know, TOO.

Thank you very much.

Bye.

[Locked against CLF and EVILS.]

Hellooooo!! :D

Like, thanks for the heads up and stuff.
The stupid CLF won't be able to read my stuff now. >:)

Hehehee :)

[beginstofly]

I think if an ENTRY is locked, that the comments are locked to the same people. I think. You might want to ask someone smarter.

And hi! It is always good that they can't read our stuff, especially when we are planning to try to help each other.

[after a long pause and some scribblings]

Um. I'm not sure I get it?

[uponthewires]

That's a good suggestion. Not everyone remembers to lock their stuff. I mean, I've never even used my journal much so I'm not sure how it works at all.

[INSERT BIG, AWKWARD, FAILY PAUSE HERE.]

You okay? It's pretty scary, huh?

LOL Bella jacket. >>

[beginstofly]

I didn't know other people could read the comments I wrote to other people! I kind of found that out the hard way but I was REALLY lucky cause no one got really mad at me. Just a little, I think, so it wasn't to bad, anyways.

[JOHNNY DOES NOT ALLOW FOR BIG AWKWARD PAUSES :|]

I'm okay! And, um, I'm Johnny! It's nice to meet you! This is kind of weird, but it's nice that people are kind of meeting each other that maybe wouldn't have!

But it is very scary. With the bad buys being horrible and stuff. I hate it. I'm very lucky to have people to help calm me down when I'm scared - one of those people is gone now but I'm hoping he just went home, and the other people are so so nice to me.

What's your name?

[suddenly concerned]

Do you have someone to talk to when you're scared?

XD DOPPLEGANGERS FOR THE WIN? :x

[uponthewires]

I don't think anyone could get mad at you if you really didn't know. It takes time for someone to get the hang of things. It's good that you let everyone know, especially now!

It's nice to meet you, too. I kind of don't

meet a lot of people. In general.

[FFFF FAILBOAT AT SOCIAL INTERACTION HERE]

It was one of the scariest things that I'd ever--yeah. That I'd seen. Things are being done about it, though. I saw about the army and the

yeah!

Oh! I should--I should have probably mentioned my name first, huh? I'm Anne.

[ANNE DOESN'T LIKE TO TALK WHEN SHE'S SCARED, JOHNNY. She bottles things up inside like a normal person. :|]

You mean like a friend? I there's

small>[ANOTHER FAIL!PAUSE OH GOD LOL]

My friend David is really easy to talk to. So I do have. That.

TOTALLY FOR THE WIN. :|

[beginstofly]

Yeah well you didn't see how he wrote! Yeah, just, the boyfriend of a woman I was talking to didn't like something I said to her, so. But I AM getting the hang of it more now!

I don't meet a lot of people, either! Most people I've gotten to know more through the journals first! But don't worry! I'm sure YOU'LL get the hang of THAT! There are a lot of really nice people in Chicago - I mean, besides bad guys like the CLF.

ARE YOU GOING TO JOIN THE ARMY THING?? I TOTALLY don't know how to fight but I think I'll be able to learn enough to you know protect myself and hopefully other people! I'm a healing angel so that's sort of what I feel like I'm SUPPOSED to be doing, you know? Besides being a paleontologist.

Nah, I always forget to tell people my name! Anne is a pretty one - I like it! :)

I'm glad you have a friend to talk to! You only need one really good friend, I've found. But more are always nice. :) And if you want to talk to me you can, too! k? :)

[sophicsulphur]

Thank you for this! I didn't think to look before because there was so much else going on, but now I can tell there's sort of a cantrip on each page that you can activate. I wouldn't have thought of that before.

I take it these journals never run out of pages? They're a really great idea! I had no idea there was a way to just talk to people by writing in a book.

[beginstofly]

I don't know what a cantrip is! But I don't know whatever the thing that works on the journals is actually called, either, just that it - locks things! And works!

Uh. I dunno? I don't think they do? You might want to ask someone who knows more than me! But it is really neat how we can just talk out of books, yeah!

I'm Johnny, by the way! It's nice to meet you. :)

[sophicsulphur]

A cantrip's like a little magic spell. It's sealed inside the pages, and it's already primed to work, so you can activate it with just a little thought.

It's okay if you don't know! I was just curious. [scribbled smiley face, though she's still not got the tilted-to-the-side emoticon thing down]

I'm Iris! It's really good to meet you too. I'm glad you're trying to help people. It's really so nice, to see everyone working together in a time like this.

[beginstofly]

[yeah. he still ... doesn't understand. but he won't say it]

Okay!

Hey, smiley faces! [draws a big one] I love those!

Iris is a really pretty name! It's like a flower, right?

And yeah, it's good to see everyone trying to help and do good when they can.

[and have another smiley face!]

[Locked to Johnny alone~]

[wearsnomask]

Thank you for remembering, Johnny.

I would have made this post myself, but I've been so busy I haven't had time to look at the journals.

You did really good.

[locked]

[ALL the flailing. EVER]

[printed out very. carefully.]

Um. You are welcome.

Thank you. I'm glad.
