Everyone listen up, because this is important

Everyone can read what you write? So they're useless for communicating messages to your allies?

[bun_bun_maru]

You can restrict messages to only be read by certain people as well. The rules are all written on the last page.

[his_pride]

Perfect. In that case, I probably won't throw the thing away.

[bun_bun_maru]

There's also the tiny detail where the Emperor has forbid the discarding of the journals by royal decree.

[his_pride]

What? That's utterly pointless!

[bun_bun_maru]

Didn't I say that the purpose of the journals is to chronicle this war? It's only natural that he would want you to hold on to them.

[his_pride]

Grr... fine. As long as it's doing something other than taking up space.

[hellish_ardency]

Is that so? And just how is that rule enforced?

[bun_bun_maru]

The same way all imperial decrees are enforced, I guess. I don't think you'd want to get on his bad side.

[hellish_ardency]

The question was posed for entirely hypothetical and academic purposes.

I think it's a bit too useful to see what people are saying to just throw away.

Interesting, though. With this chronicle, it might be a bit more difficult for the victor to rewrite history as they see fit.

[bun_bun_maru]

Maybe that's the point. I'm too low on the totem pole to get the whole picture so easily.
