It seems rather superfluous, since the journal serves a generally similar purpose already.

balancethebooks April 16 2010, 04:19:47 UTC

Not really. Newspapers are a pretty unique reading medium. The journal's more like a live news feed, than anything else. And it's noisy.

Newspapers are a lot more quiet, and they let the reader digest them at their own pace.

... How've you been, Shizuru?

saikyou_saiaku April 16 2010, 04:29:49 UTC

True. Sometimes I wish the journal had a mute button, then my attention wouldn't get attracted all the time by unimportant things.

Been doing fairly well, except I somehow managed to defy conventions of nature and make a stranger pregnant. [dry laugh]

balancethebooks April 16 2010, 04:31:49 UTC

I tend to keep mine closed as much as possible for that exact reason.

... Wait ... you ... you what. [let him 'WTF' over this for a second] Please tell me it was some kind of loss.

[klshdgldskhg I've always used newspapers with Misa to find victims ARE THERE NONE?]

Misa thinks you sound like the reader type, ah ha.

balancethebooks April 16 2010, 04:29:54 UTC

[fffffff, let's say the town has one but not the castle? :P COMPROMISE!]

Ha, from time to time. It'd be nice if there were actually plays in that sorry excuse for a theatre district, too.

misa_approves April 16 2010, 04:34:18 UTC

[Perfect!]

With half the town all zombie?! Misa could put on a play... I was a movie actress, but I wonder if I could do stage, too.

balancethebooks April 16 2010, 04:35:49 UTC

I don't see why you couldn't. The only difference is, if you mess up, you don't get another take, right?

Is a newspaper exactly what it sounds like?

balancethebooks April 16 2010, 04:45:13 UTC

Pretty much. Quieter than these journals, and not as idiotic about it, either.

I ... met someone from your future, the other day. Same name, too.

rasenhadou April 16 2010, 13:19:42 UTC

Sounds boring.

[oh, great] Which one?

balancethebooks April 16 2010, 16:48:38 UTC

[WHY DOES EVERYONE CALL HIM THAT? AAAAARRRRGH] Suit yourself.

Um. He said he goes by Ryou.

Wasn't one guy asking about a castle newspaper, a couple months back? Not sure if that went anywhere, though.

Anyway, I guess there're just local events to cover in newspapers around here.

balancethebooks April 16 2010, 05:00:55 UTC

If he did, I missed it, I think.

Maybe so. It's just ... a little weird to have an old routine taken completely away, you know?

I don't think we've spoken before ... I'm Emerson.

recordhistory April 16 2010, 05:18:26 UTC

Yeah, makes sense. Well, who's to say you can't have it here, even if it's on a smaller, castle-and-city scale?

Want me to try finding that page again? I'm Lavi, by the way.

balancethebooks April 16 2010, 05:28:00 UTC

You don't have to if it's too much trouble. It'll give me something to read, anyway. Heh...

Nice to meet you, Lavi.

[technically, only Eliot and Del are on the loss - Jo is perfectly capable of being an amazing bartender at the moment]

Get you another glass?

balancethebooks April 16 2010, 05:02:26 UTC

[didn't know who else was on the staff besides those two, so. :P]

Uh ... [looks to see that he's got a few sips left]

Maybe in a little while? I have a two-glass limit.

huntersdaughter April 16 2010, 05:05:49 UTC

[there aren't that many... there's a wiki page though?

She'll nod and wipe down the bar, since - she's bored]

Just let me know, I'll be here 'til closing.

balancethebooks April 16 2010, 05:09:37 UTC

[well, ANYwho.]

I will, thank you. .... I take it it's a slow night?
