[Public] Entry 1. The Vic II Is Huge

[derpenter]

Whoaahhh, I never knew the Victoria would be so... so HUGE, by golly. I... I'm exhausted just walking from one end to the other. These little legs sure weren't made for long distances. And I'm supposed to repair this.

Then I'd better get cracking. It's no good doing a repair job if I don't know the ship well, yup yup. So I'm gonna do laps around the

[mistmad]

Are you new on the ship?

[derpenter]

Yup yup. Bidoof Bidoofsson, at your service.

[mistmad]

I'm Fran, a passenger on board the ship.

I take it you've never used a difference engine?

[derpenter]

Pleased to meet you, Fran.

What's that a difference engine. Is it an airship part.

Wait, you can read this. I thought journals are supposed to be private.

[no_landmasters]

Little legs? What are ya, two feet tall?

[derpenter]

Just under, actually. Little sister Bidoof always said I was kind of short.

[no_landmasters]

...what kind of parents would name their kid Bidoof!?

[derpenter]

Everyone's called Bidoof.

... Oh, except for the adults, they're called Bibarel. It makes things simple, yup yup.

[karmauberalles]

...Who are you?

[derpenter]

Bidoof Bidoofsson, Captain. I was told to be your shipwright.

[karmauberalles]

...ah. I thought that memo was a practical joke.

[derpenter]

Oh, do a lot of practical jokes happen to you, sir.

[the_katals]

...Um...

Type them symbols? What exactly do you mean by that?

[mistmad]

I think he means punctuation, Kiros.

[the_katals]

...Its rather simple to type the punctuation, Fran.
Unless something is wrong with his journal...or such.

[Private to Kiros // Unhackable]

[mistmad]

I don't think he's human, Kiros. I spotted a small brown furry creature earlier, and I think I heard it muttering to itself. Bidoof could be who I saw.

[thesegreyskies]

Are you...the small furry thing I've seen running around the ship?

[derpenter]

Sure am. Unless this ship has rats too.

[thesegreyskies]

And you're joining the crew.

[derpenter]

Yup yup! I hope I won't let you down!
