[It's rather late at night when the journal clicks on. Luke had waited until he had calmed down from the nightmare he had to make the post, and good thing, too. Otherwise it'd catch the tremor he surely had in his voice.

Instead, he merely sounds subdued, and maybe a little hesitant.]Does anyone have any good stories to tell

[Grune's sleep schedule is more or less random, so she sounds...well, as alert as she ever is when she replies:]

When Elicia was having a little trouble sleeping, we made up a story together. Maybe we could do that right now.

[cakeblocked]

Elicia, huh... Sure, why not?

[Even though he thinks he'll sleep better by listening to someone... Might as well. He hasn't done this before.

... Which explains when he speaks next.]

Uh... You start.

[lostinmyway]

Hmm.... Once upon a time, there was….

[...Er.]

[cakeblocked]

A... warrior? Who protected... his kingdom, yeah.

[lostinmyway]

[Oh, this sounds like a wonderful story!]

He worked hard every day so he could look after his friends.

[cakeblocked]

[... Huh. This is actually kind of cool!]

He learned how to use the sword, even how to use magic! He was determined to keep everyone he cared about safe.

[lostinmyway]

And everyone was so happy they had such a good friend looking after them.

[cakeblocked]

But... one day, an evil wizard who knew way more about magic came down on the kingdom!

[lostinmyway]

Oh, my.

And all the people were very worried that she might do things to make them sad.

[cakeblocked]

"She"?

...

Uh, right... And she did! She kidnapped some of our hero's friends, because... they were in her way!

[lostinmyway]

And so he had to rescue them from the wizard!
