[Entry 1 Handwritten]

[After discovering how her journal might work in this thread, Maribelle wastes no time in trying an entry of her own.]

To all those capable of reading this message, I would like to announce that I fully intend to form a company of individuals who are sick of the lowborn filth and scum known as pirates. For too long have I witnessed the innocent have their livelihoods and lives threatened by these brigands, and now I have been shanghaied to work for one?! No I say! We must take a stand together as one, and defend this world from these hooligans at every turn!

There will never be peace in this world if we simply let pirate ransack, pillage, and steal from whoever they please. So I'm issuing a call to the masses, rally to me all of you who wish to see Justice. Rally to me those who are confused and live in fear of being squashed under the heel of this pirate menace. Rally to me all of ye people who wish to see a brighter tomorrow, for I shall not rest until we all can see it!

[ Oh. Oh wow. Aoko stares at her journal for a moment, completely dumbfounded.

Then, after a moment of quick fiddling and fumbling, she speaks up as well ]

W-Wow, it's just like a cellphone . . . This is amazing!

[grizzly_tea]

Umm... hmm... not to sound rude or anything but... what if might ask is a cellphone?

[She's from sort of a medieval era dear ^^;]

[clocksandroses]

Oh! It's a piece of technology . . . It lets people talk to each other when they're far away from each other. Even across continents!

[grizzly_tea]

That's... That's rather ingenious! Do you think these books would work the same way? If so, it means that even in the thick of battle, we'd be able to send communications back and forth to other ships! Tactical positions, enemy traps, and who knows what else!

[clocksandroses]

Books this big might be a little clunky, but I can't see why it wouldn't work. We'd just have to test things out and experiment.

[grizzly_tea]

Clunkier than wielding a cutlass? Or perhaps a battle axe? My dear, I assure these are hardly more difficult to carry than a thimble in comparison to many of the weapons one might see on these seas.

It is safe to say we will need to experiment though.

[clocksandroses]

I'll help as much as I can!
