[at ten o'clock, Concrete Blonde's rendition of the now-familiar Leonard Cohen tune comes BLASTING out of the journals, at full volume, as loud as Harry can make it go. no one's ignoring him, this week. even if you've got your journal closed and locked in a drawer, you're probably going to hear him

Sometimes shouting can be the only way to get people's attention. Though if a fire at the outposts and a break-out in the prisons doesn't get people fired up, I really don't know what could.

I still want to stand by my idea of communicating with each other without the use of these journals. Even if we put up filters, there's no guarantee that the wrong eyes won't see what we've written anyway. I've been working on my coins and I'll give one to you if you like.

I would love to see that list when you have time to give it. We found something during the expedition, and I'd really like to compare this new information with what Paradisa's been doing.

Coins? I don't think I heard anything about those, yet. Fill me in, while I find where the fuck my list got to?

The coins are a means of communication I developed back in my world. If you change one coin, the other will feel hot in your pocket and will change to reflect the first coin. I'm not sure if you'll be able to change your coin, but I would like to test it before offering it to anyone else.

Another option is communicating through Owl Post, though that is a bit more noticeable and I've had some trouble training the birds in this world to deliver the mail properly.

Hermione, to end

Huh ... yeah, that might be worth a shot. If it's a magic thing, though, I can't do any of that... sorry. [a moment's pause, then:]

Okay, here's your new arrival list: Finn, Phoenix Wright, Dr. Robotnik, Dairine, Lenneth, Feferi (Second time here this year), Conner, and Gamzee (Third time here this year). The castle seems to like throwing the trolls around, bringin 'em here and then sendin' em back. Beats the hell outta me as to why, though.

It was a little more violent than 'poof' from my memory of it. [Yeah, she's still more than a little pissy about getting her ass handed to her, can't you tell?]

He won't stay out for long. I'll track him.

[hard_talker]

So I saw, but I was going for dramatic interpretation, there. Better chance of an actual reaction from the masses, that way.

... You okay, Sarge?

[mal_addict]

I'll be better after I've punched Nancy a few times in the face and got Joshua back where he belongs.

[hard_talker]

Yeah .... shit. I ... I wanna say I can't believe it was her, but ... who the hell really knew her? I don't think anyone'd be able to say if they thought she was capable of that shit, or not.

What happened, anyway? I was a little occupied tryin' to help get people to put the fires an' shit out.

[icarustattoo]

Jesus christ, kid.

[hard_talker]

Sorry, Brock, he ain't here. .... I think his dear ol' Dad flew the coop on us, too.

[icarustattoo]

No, I think you blew out my eardrums.

[hard_talker]

[troooooollllll] Sorry, what?
