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 ( Read more... )

[Jacky pauses in closing the book. She doesn't remember writing those words. In fact, that isn't even her handwriting. Is this another strange trick of the journals?]

[Aloud:] Hello?

Hi. Still trying to figure the things out, huh?

[Jacky jumps back.]

Who are you, and is that your writing?

My congratulations for your birthday. How unfortunate that you must spend it in this dreadful village.

Thank you. I have spent it in worse places, I assure you.

[Written] soulbait October 8 2010, 00:13:37 UTC

I am sorry to hear that.

Dearest Miss Jacky,

Foremost a happy birthday, darling. I, too, yearn for the sea, but it's not to be had here. You've friends, though, dear, if you care to keep them. I've something for you. If we can arrange to meet, perhaps I can give it to you.

With Utmost Sincerity,
The Hon. Capt. J. Sparrow

To the Eminent Capt. Sparrow:

These books continue to astonish me. That I could write something, and someone write back so quickly! I did not mean for anyone to see this, though. How do you tell the book not to send?

Yr. Faithful etc,
Jacky Faber

Miss Faber--

I've not yet learned the secret of that. My messages are always sent with the intention that they be read, though I believe they may be made private.

Other people can see it if you write anything in these, I think. And the Guv knows I'm a woman, trust me.

Oh, and Happy Birthday!

undertheanchor October 4 2010, 23:59:38 UTC

Oh, Shaz, please tell me that is not true...

fireinherheart October 5 2010, 00:20:45 UTC

...which part? That everyone can see this?

undertheanchor October 5 2010, 00:25:41 UTC

Yes, exactly that part. I meant to write only to myself...

[ There's a snort from this pissed off, sardonic doctor. ]

An honourable Captain, huh.

undertheanchor October 5 2010, 23:38:29 UTC

Some Captains are evil men, but some are wise and good. I was lucky enough to make the acquaintance of the latter sort.

hippocraticly October 5 2010, 23:47:20 UTC

Oh, really? How was he wise and good when you spoke to him?

undertheanchor October 5 2010, 23:56:59 UTC

He warned me of a pirate, and promised me a berth on his ship. When he gets one.
