✯ Sixth Session ✯ [Accidental Written?] Dated to Wednesday Afternoon
[During the afternoon, if one is to catch the journal feed they may notice what looks like a black splotch on the feed. If one looks long enough, they will notice that this splotch is growing slowly. Eventually it starts taking on this form:]

Is it perhaps a Coleopterid? Not enough detail to specify what family, but...
[Wait a moment.] ... For what reason would you be doing something like this, anyway?

Is there some reason that you are not answering me? Although... this particular image reminds me of an Asteroidean... I cannot think of many sea stars with only four limbs, however.
[It then occurs to Robert that perhaps zie cannot speak. So after a moment, he writes in his neat, professional script...]
Would it perhaps be more feasible for us to communicate with text if you find speaking aloud difficult?

She begins to write that she didn't make the inkblots. But, as soon as she finishes, her words quickly mash up into each other and another inkblot is formed as a result. The actual process of them crashing into each other on the page can be seen if Robert doesn't blink while it happens.]

...It then hits her and she puts up an index finger, ushering him to wait a moment hopefully. She moves off the feed and the sounds of scraping can be heard not too far away.
A minute later she returns to the journal and adjusts the camera to the forest ground, where she wrote out the word "MALNOSSO" with a wooden stick.]

So the Malnosso are responsible for this debacle? That seems... predictable. And yet ridiculous. There seems to be no reason for this - not as if things being unreasoned ever stopped them before.

Are you certain I cannot assist you somehow?
And may I perhaps have your name so as to allow us to speak in future when you are not so encumbered?

But, she does take the stick again and writes "PAPRIKA" on the ground.]
