[Sometime in the night, there appears a very short entry.

Or not really an entry at all, just a doodle.]



[Care to ask why someone is drawing compasses on the journal?]

What're you doing Vyse?

[Voice]

[vysecaptain]

Drawing. Testing out this pen.

[He's sitting on the deck, Sinbad's welcome to go bother him if he isn't out there already. Look for the candle flame.]

[Action]

[borntochangetheworld]

[Sinbad wanders over to find Vyse.]

What do you need a pen for?

[The amount of times he's written anything is low.]

[Action]

[vysecaptain]

Writing in the journal, copying maps...stuff like that.

[Dropping in the ocean, becoming chew sticks for Merida...who is curled up next to him but sits up when Sinbad approaches and goes to sniff at him.]

[borntochangetheworld]

I guess so.

[He shrugs unhelpfully.]

[vysecaptain]

Hm? You guess so?

[borntochangetheworld]

Well the journal talks. What else do you need?

sorry for latetag

[vysecaptain]

Journals aren't supposed to talk...you're supposed to write in them, normally.

Well, I guess places like Valua that have more technology might have journals you can speak to and keep notes that way, but I've never seen them.

...I mean, besides these.

[borntochangetheworld]

I know that, but this one does which is really helpful!

[Or Sinbad would never get to talk to anyone.]

Um. Is there a reason for you to draw a compass in your journal? I'm not sure that could help in directions.

voice

[vysecaptain]

It could help if you find north and then turn the journal...no, I'm only kidding.

[He laughs.]

No, no reason, I just felt like it.

voice

[windofthephoenixtemple]

That's kind of a silly reason for it. Then again people do use the journals for various reasons, so it shouldn't really be that silly.

What an interesting doodle. The squiggles really bring something to the picture.

You need some improvement, but otherwise you could do well.

[vysecaptain]

The squiggles should be letters...

My handwriting isn't normally that bad.

[Like right now. It's not the neatest handwriting, but it's readable.]

written

[behindthefakesmile]

Then how come it is for the drawing of whatever it is your drawing?

Did the sea get in the way and nudge you?

voice;

[bloodheels]

Did you mistake your journal for a notepad?

voice

[vysecaptain]

No, I picked the right journal to write in this time.

It's not like it ever runs out of space to record anything, anyway...

voice

[bloodheels]

But, may I ask what the point in it is?

You're handritting is terrabal

[Clearly he's practicing his. Before when he used the journal, he always used the voice function because he couldn't write. Now he's gotten some education beaten into him, so he's trying to be a diligent student and keep up with his studies.]

[vysecaptain]

Your spelling is terrible.

[He admires the effort, but Ja'far still called him an idiot, and thus he's still a brat.]

[Written]

[under_the_wire]

At leest I kan fix that.

[At least his penmanship is improving. The same really can't be said for his spelling.]

[Written]

[vysecaptain]

You aren't too far off, though.

[Written]

[under_the_wire]

I had to lurn to rite first. I havent had time for spelling.

[He mostly just copies things or writes what Rurumu dictates for him.]

[Written]

[vysecaptain]

Spelling isn't a big deal. I can read it anyway.

Do you want any help?

[He's never actually taught anyone grammar before, but it can't hurt to try.]

[Written]

[under_the_wire]

[As much as he doesn't want to accept help from Vyse...]

Do you even no how to teech?

[His hopes aren't very high. He doesn't remember Vyse too well from when he was here before, but he has the distinct impression that he's an idiot.]

[Written]

[vysecaptain]

[You're asking to be tossed into the ocean, Ja'far.]

I haven't tried, but it can't be that hard to do.

[Written]

[under_the_wire]

[At least he's had more time to learn to swim.]

It is hard. Thats wy they dont let any ideeat be a teecher.

[feetarestrange]

What's that supposed to be?

voice

[vysecaptain]

A compass rose.

voice

[feetarestrange]

And what is it for?

voice

[lazyjustice]

... Maa, well, I'm sure you have other talents.

voice

[vysecaptain]

Wha...? Of course I have other talents!

[You, sir, are rude.]

voice

[lazyjustice]

Such as? [he's genuinely curious]
