[The hand is neat enough, but has in it relics of a more archaic type--capital letters perhaps larger than a modern reader would find normal, some serifs and flourishes; a trained or talented eye might pick up on the writer being more used to writing with an instrument with a slanted tip.]

Greetings, [pause, as if in recollection], Edensphere. I

For doing things, I would say to take a day or two and explore the second floor. After that, you just might find something that interests you!

[mythgravenblade]

Forgive my impertinence, but whose writing is this?

What manner of things may be found on the second floor? [after he writes this, he starts to unfold his map himself]

[lemonshine]

Oh, sorry! I'm Lucy, Paladin.

1. Marketplace
2. Farm
3. Race Track
4. The Dojo (Rose and Crow live here though just to warn you)
5. The Park
6. Medical Island (it's important to know where it is!)

[The writing appears slowly, as Paladin is examining the map as he replies]

Well met, Lucy.

I see them and many more on this map, thank you. I find it quite astounding that there can be a tree growing from a body of water of such size without ill effect. Does anyone ply a ferry here?

What manner of creatures are raced at the track? Hounds? For that matter, what is a 'dojo'? The word seems like it should be familiar, but

[strikes legible]

[lemonshine]

Likewise!

Keep the map handy! It's a bit easy to get lost at first too. Ferry? There is no ferry.

Oh! Chocobos! A dojo? Hmmmm... that's a hard one to explain...

[mythgravenblade]

Ah, chocobos!

[pause]

That's strange. Chocobos...being flightless yellow birds, correct?

[lemonshine]

That you can ride on. You know what a Chocobo is?

[mythgravenblade]

[pause] I do, yes. And black ones can fly.
