[His handwriting's pretty messy since it still hurts to write.]

Here's a tip for all you new kids - don't ever leave your journal behind. Ever ever. Or you may get lost in the Wilderness alone for 3 weeks (or more!) with no way to ask for help and no way out.

And if you do, then all you can do is hope the Adventurers do their job - and they do; try thanking 'em sometime - 'cuz it'll have to be one of them who drags your sorry ass back out of there.

I take it you speak from experience, good ser?

[inthecenterfold.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but seriously Smoke's fine. I'm not the formal type.

[magical-bosom.livejournal.com]

Smoke. I see, I'll remember that.

Thanks - now that I'm back you might see me around The Hatchery. I work there as a Guard. So if you ever need help in that vicinity: tall guy, red hair.

I have moved on to my own quarters from the temporary ones, but I will bear that in mind. You have my thanks.

[inthecenterfold.livejournal.com]

Oh I didn't mean that. Never know when you'll wind up waking up naked again.

[magical-bosom.livejournal.com]

I beg your pardon?

[inthecenterfold.livejournal.com]

You know - being born again. Again. Out of the gooey cocoon things, except this time you might remember everything about Edensphere and just not know how you died.

[magical-bosom.livejournal.com]

People return from the dead here.

Do I understand you correctly?

[inthecenterfold.livejournal.com]

Yeah, putting it simply.

[magical-bosom.livejournal.com]

The Maker keep us all. I

I thank you, ser, but I believe I have heard enough for now.

[inthecenterfold.livejournal.com]

Suit yourself. I know it's hard to take in all at once.

[magical-bosom.livejournal.com]

You have been helpful, but I believe I will.
