[ the handwriting then switches to English, which looks fluid, yet stick-like. ]

I suppose I must have been too busy in my clinic to remember when I bought this! But it seems as though someone else has gotten to it before I could... "To help you along your way", huh? I suppose my vandal is a helpful one

A doctor?

[metousiosis]

Oh, my, you're a curious little book! こんにちは、 本さん! 今日どんな具合ですか。

[bitchykid]

I'm not the book. I've got... a journal like yours. There are lots of us, all over the city.

[metousiosis]

How interesting.... [ a pause, and then in slower, more deliberate handwriting-- ] A new invention, then? You Americans are very industrious, indeed!

[cowboy_newsie]

Too bad you didn't buy one last week. There was a real good article on a robbery.

There'll probably be another soon, though.

[metousiosis]

It's rather a shame that there's such an abundance of crime... but I suppose it can't be helped in some places, can it?

[mentis_reae]

It most certainly can be helped.

[metousiosis]

How optimistic! Though perhaps it could be alleviated, at best.

[deviltrapping]

Muggings happen everywhere around here.

[metousiosis]

It becomes a bit of a problem when it threatens the lives of my patients, though-- I'm sure you understand, yes?

[payback]

Killing animals, or killing the people who bring their animals in?

[metousiosis]

I suppose I should amend that to both my patients and my clients, then.

[acidcut]

Put a stop to it all? Like that's ever going to happen.

[metousiosis]

Well, perhaps someone can alleviate it all, if we are to be more realistic.

[acidcut]

The word you're having a problem with there is all. This is New York, put a stop to it all and the city will collapse.

[metousiosis]

You do have a point there. And am I to assume you're the book that is speaking back to me, or...?

[vsrsbsns]

[ The quick scrawl of a note to self. ] Someone else for practice with

[metousiosis]

Practice?

[vsrsbsns]

You're Japanese, you write it, anyway. If someone look for practice writing, you are one that can.

[metousiosis]

How astute-- I am Japanese, actually... are you?
