[at ten o'clock, Concrete Blonde's rendition of the now-familiar Leonard Cohen tune comes BLASTING out of the journals, at full volume, as loud as Harry can make it go. no one's ignoring him, this week. even if you've got your journal closed and locked in a drawer, you're probably going to hear him

Sometimes shouting can be the only way to get people's attention. Though if a fire at the outposts and a break-out in the prisons doesn't get people fired up, I really don't know what could.

I still want to stand by my idea of communicating with each other without the use of these journals. Even if we put up filters, there's no guarantee that the wrong eyes won't see what we've written anyway. I've been working on my coins and I'll give one to you if you like.

I would love to see that list when you have time to give it. We found something during the expedition, and I'd really like to compare this new information with what Paradisa's been doing.

Coins? I don't think I heard anything about those, yet. Fill me in, while I find where the fuck my list got to?

The coins are a means of communication I developed back in my world. If you change one coin, the other will feel hot in your pocket and will change to reflect the first coin. I'm not sure if you'll be able to change your coin, but I would like to test it before offering it to anyone else.

Another option is communicating through Owl Post, though that is a bit more noticeable and I've had some trouble training the birds in this world to deliver the mail properly.

Hermione, to end

Huh ... yeah, that might be worth a shot. If it's a magic thing, though, I can't do any of that... sorry. [a moment's pause, then:]

Okay, here's your new arrival list: Finn, Phoenix Wright, Dr. Robotnik, Dairine, Lenneth, Feferi (Second time here this year), Conner, and Gamzee (Third time here this year). The castle seems to like throwing the trolls around, bringin 'em here and then sendin' em back. Beats the hell outta me as to why, though.

forever~

Yes, I know. I've been trying to think of a way to let them work for non-magical people.

Maybe there's something unusual about their world. I could speak with one of them and find out.

[hard_talker]

Have you asked Felix, or one of the Docs? They're both pretty smart about that stuff...

Might not be a bad idea. I'd normally say Aradia's your best bet, but she's ... on some kinda funky loss that turned her into an absolute jackass. Maybe you could just filter to all of 'em and see what you get...?

[courageous_wit]

Oh, of course! I'll be sure to ask the Doctors at my first chance.

I'll do that. Thank you.

[hard_talker]

Sweet. Well, good luck, yeah? Lemme know what you find out.

[courageous_wit]

Of course! And keep up the broadcast. I always enjoy listening in.

[compliments like that are few, far between, and mean more than almost anything. he's grinning from ear to ear as he replies]

Trust me, I ain't stopping 'til I'm in the ground.

[courageous_wit]

In that case, I hope we don't have an avalanche. [she's just teasing him now :P ]

[hard_talker]

Ha, I already almost got caught in an underground landslide. Avalanches couldn't do jack shit to me.
