You know, it’s not everyday a girl finds a random journal shoved in her stuff. I’m not entirely sure why I’m even using it, and not throwing it out, other than hey. Free book! I mean, I’m not exactly journal-girl here, but I don’t see how this little thing can do any harm either

Were it really named Sunnydale?

No wonder you left.

[heartslain]

[Have a quite confused scratching out of those words.]

[cowboy_newsie]

Now, that ain't polite.

Why do you think people do that, anyway? Ain't like I'm gonna stop writing just because you crossed it out.

[heartslain]

Maybe because people shouldn't write in someone else's journal? You know, that whole common courtesy thing.

[breakmychest]

Bloody stupid little town, Sunnydale was.

[heartslain]

Hey! Don't mock my town, you- you journal. There are good people there.

Why am I writing back to a journal?

[breakmychest]

Dunno. Maybe you're drunk too?

[heartslain]

Kind of too young for drinking. Unless someone slipped me something, which, if that's the case? I have some definite butt to kick.

Do drunk people really imagine their journal talking to them?

Welcome to New York! I'm Conner, what's your name?

Where's Sunnydale?

[heartslain]

Thanks... Is it a good thing or a bad thing when your journal welcomes you to the city? Because- I'm thinking it's a sign of crazy.

It's in California, right off the coast. Some of the best beaches without the crowds you get anywhere else.

[ihavettk]

I'm not your journal. I'm a guy. I told you, my name's Conner. I live in New York too.

Oh, wow, that sounds awesome. I've always wanted to go there. Well, Hawaii more than California, but it'd still be great there. I bet you can go surfing, right?

[heartslain]

Not so much with the surfing. I'm more the type to go sun tan. Maybe swim a little, but- I'm no good on a board.

Okay. I'll bite. You're Conner, writing in my magic journal. What, do they hand out these things coming into New York?

[patternprophet]

Throwing it out is a bit difficult.

I assume Sunnydale was a smaller town?

[heartslain]

Yup. Cozy little place! Just you, your friends, and a couple thousand of your closest enemies. Read; corrupt little town!

So why is it so hard to throw out? Isn't it just- pick up, drop in trash? Unless this is part of the whole 'magic journal' thing.

[patternprophet]

You'll be fine in New York, then.

It comes back, regardless of anything that happens to it.

[heartslain]

Nice to know that the big city's just as bad as I figured it'd be.

That's- kind of freaky. Not sure I want to think about it too much.

[flying_kickapow]

Dont worry about the jornals! its weerd, but you get used to it. And then you get set on fire So whats California like? :)

[heartslain]

Bright and sunny, with lots of sand and sea. And yeah. I guess I will, huh, since people keep writing in it.

[flying_kickapow]

Yeah, theyre anoyingly hard to shake anyway. Ive tried.

So welcome to New York! its sunny some times. Im Sokka.

[heartslain]

Nice to meet you Sokka. If, you know, writing back and forth in a book counts as meeting. Does it count? Or do we have to meet in person to be able to say that?
