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... )

making plans, writing, what’s a filter?, the story so far

[Written] If no one else has told you this...

[Audio] The journals transmit writing as well as voice and pictures. You might want to learn to lock certain entries if you want to use the book as a diary.

...You might also want to be careful what you put in the journal.

[Written] I have been told, but it seems that on this subject I am not a fast learner.

[Audio] Are you from a world with "radio"?

[Written--.will switch completely to audio after this] derek_bliss October 5 2010, 23:45:41 UTC

[Written] You seem to be getting the hang of things fine so far.

My name is Derek, incidentally.

[Audio] Radio and other things.

*Locked*

Has anyone bothered to show you how to lock an entry?

Audio undertheanchor October 6 2010, 00:00:13 UTC

Jacky. And I presume you do not mean locking the book.

Audio derek_bliss October 6 2010, 00:59:01 UTC

No. Just whatever page you're using.

Audio undertheanchor October 6 2010, 23:52:38 UTC

[She turns the page back and forth a few times. Nope. Can't see what you're talking about.]

[There's silence for a moment on his end while he figures out what she's doing]

...It's not a literal lock.

[*Lock*]

Here...I'll see if I can show you; although it's easier face to face.

[And he'll very carefully and patiently draw a 'fake' lock in a way that she can see it, quietly explaining what he's doing as he does it.]

Audio undertheanchor October 7 2010, 23:51:31 UTC

[She does not see how a drawing can lock anything, but then, she didn't understand that thing about moving paintings either. She'll watch and listen.]

...Did that make sense?

Audio undertheanchor October 8 2010, 02:13:24 UTC

Not in the least. But I am sure the fault is with me, not with you.

Audio derek_bliss October 8 2010, 02:18:39 UTC

...Seriously doubt there's a 'fault', here. I'm probably just not explaining it in a way that makes sense to you. And like I said, it is easier to show someone in person.

Audio undertheanchor October 8 2010, 14:47:43 UTC

Some other day, maybe.

Audio derek_bliss October 9 2010, 01:08:43 UTC

If you don't find someone and still want to see later, let me know.

My name is Derek. It was nice to meet you.
