October 4, I Am Not Quite Sure The Year
Very Far From Home

I am now officially sixteen. (Thank you, Grandfather, for giving me my birthday. I think of you fondly and wonder how my Home for Little Wanderers is faring.) I had hoped to celebrate in the arms of my dear Jaimy, or at least with my beloved crew members of the Belle, but, alas, luck has

These things really aren't like a proper diary, I'm afraid. They have them here, but these journals are used more to communicate between others.

And I wouldn't recommend attempting to fly with the wings. I've been told by enough people that it's impossible.

[Written]

[undertheanchor]

Impossible simply means that you have not tried hard enough. Are you a person, or is my book writing in itself?

Re: [Written]

[consultmybooks]

Valid point, I suppose. It's the thought of what practicing would entail that's putting me off.

And no, I'm real. I'm communicating with you through my journal. That's what they're meant for.

I am pleased to meet you, then. I hope you enjoyed reading my diary.

Hey Jacky! So you're living in my old building right? It's nice there isn't it? :)

And I have some good news too! I can see now! The cold weather means that Winter's on its way and that means snow! [Selphie draws in some snowflakes. Not the prettiest in the world, but it's the thought that counts!]

You might be able to find your Pennywhistle in the item shop.

So that is why I have not seen you around. I do like living so high up, though I miss my cabin.

You were cured? How wonderful, Selphie!

Alas, I did not find my whistle in the shop, and I did not like the proprietor. It seems I will not have much choice but to go back, though.

[boomchucka]

That's right. I live in House 59. Come visit me sometime!

I know!

What if you got one made? I know someone who makes items. He's really nice.

[Written]

[undertheanchor]

I most certainly will!

Do you think he could make a good one? And what would he want in exchange?

[Text back of course]

[justicereigns]

Did you just call Jack Sparrow an honorable captain of a merchant ship? Like hell he is!

And happy birthday kid.

[Jacky doesn't think that mysteriously-appearing words in a very strange kind of book are a reliable source of information. She crosses out these lying sentences until they are illegible.]

[Sort of written]

[justicereigns]

[Poor girl.]

Oi. They're still there. Even with lines through them.

Since you seem to be a seafaring type, you shouldn't blind yourself that much.

[Jacky draws a ship under the words, giving it plentiful complicated rigging that consumes and disguises the letters.]

[Written] If no one else has told you this...

[Audio] The journals transmit writing as well as voice and pictures. You might want to learn to lock certain entries if you want to use the book as a diary.

...You might also want to be careful what you put in the journal.

[undertheanchor]

[Written] I have been told, but it seems that on this subject I am not a fast learner.

[Audio] Are you from a world with "radio"?

[Written--.will switch completely to audio after this]

[derek_bliss]

[Written] You seem to be getting the hang of things fine so far.

My name is Derek, incidentally.

[Audio] Radio and other things.

*Locked*

Has anyone bothered to show you how to lock an entry?

Audio

[undertheanchor]

Jacky. And I presume you do not mean locking the book.

[liketofu]

[There is a tap-tap and a brief pause because she speaks.]

I suppose you've heard it many times already today, but...happy birthday.

[voice]

[undertheanchor]

Thank you. I have not often been wished happy birthday before.

[voice]

[liketofu]

Oh? How come...?

[voice]

[undertheanchor]

Well, maybe because not many of my birthdays have been happy ones...
