First Rose: Not in Oz [VOICE]

[formerabyssinian]

[He's been wandering around enough to see other posts and learn a bit about the journal's function.]

So we're given a journal, some money, and we're expected to leave this island as soon as possible via ship? [His voice sounds pretty skeptical.] Aren't there other options?

[In the background there is the sound of seagulls and the sea washing against the docks.]

I don't think I've been on a ship for longer than a day, if that long... [He can already feel he's going to have an awful time at sea. There is a sigh.]

From what I can see, not everyone has a journal like this. Any particular reason why?

[That's a lot of blind faith, which he side-eyes. He'll chalk it up to either believing such because that's how her world really is, or living a sheltered life.]

Hm...I'll have to take your word on something like that... [Even if he sounds skeptical.]

[It's a mix of blind faith and how things are. She notices the tone and just giggles in response.]

It is something hard to prove otherwise, isn't it? But I trust our rulers, after all an officer that would fall so low so easily would do nothing but be a hindrance for the empire and soil our good name and reputation. I don't think any ruler would be so careless to allow that to happen.

If someone acted in your name and committed acts you didn't approve of and that raised a bad reputation, would you allow them to go on and even give them more power?

If they're good at what they do, they could get away with it. If they weren't, then it would be hard to turn a blind eye.

[Power could get one very far.]
