Noticulator Entry

[addison_rta]

Notes from the constant running log of the Circumgyratory Spooling Noticulator-MK2 in attractive black. The quality of the penmanship, and thus the pen used in question, are both high. All running log entries in the noticulator start with a date and then entered one per ruled line by number and time

This is what R&R is for. Listen, I shall only say this once, and it is vitally important:

Go dress up as a woman, get insanely drunk and sing silly songs with your comrades.

You'll be fit as a fiddle the next day.

Once the hangover wears off.

Can I skip the dressing in drag part? Sure I wear makeup but I have terrible calves.

[beatrice_rta]

No. No more of this halfway mambsy pambsy stuff. It takes a proper man to pull off dressing up as a woman.

This is why your sister and I do so well.

[addison_rta]

And here all this time I thought I was suffering from Feldane madness. It turns out that I just needed to wear a skirt.

When I get back to Amber, you can dress me like a doll. But I will still have terrible calves.

"One of the things I truly admire about my sister is her resiliency. Taleyn has this amazing ability to look the horrors of the world in the face, stab it, and then bounce off to some other new wonderful adventure. "

Should I ever be forced by the Crown to marry, I need to find someone like your sister.

I will be watching her bloodline very carefully. Benedict, please order her not to die until after she has kids.

Only time will tell if I am capable of reproduction! CAN I SIT STILL LONG ENOUGH????

[valentine_rta]

If you're just getting started on reproduction, "sitting still" isn't actually necessary, and can actually be counter-productive.

Now, when it comes to actually producing offspring... Maybe you should look into ob-gyns who are willing to perform deliveries while galloping on horseback.

[addison_rta]

What, no lie there and think of Amber?

I want to know nothing about birth on horseback.

[taleyn_rta]

I am truly touched!

Whereas I admire Addy's intelligence and ability to truly grasp the gravity of that which we face without letting it paralyse him! You are my UTTER FAVORITE BROTHER!!! ...Which, granted, isn't hard, but hopefully you'll take it as the compliment intended. ;)

I would have thought it was Stuart. Stays in his pot. Never troubles anyone. Says gallant things periodically.

[addison_rta]

Yes, but Stuart doesn't hug. He never did.

[peabody_rta]

I feel I should note, sir, that in Lord Stuart's current domicile, a hug could have lacerative consequences.
