dix-neuf ° dictated

Can't help but feel like my time here's just been wiped. It hasn't been as long as some, but six months is the longest I've been in one place since my parents died.

I'm back to making the lab equipment. Paris was a nice break, but it's nice to be back. Think I'm going to be spending some time in the library. Those haven't been wiped, right? [Hopefully.]

Hard at work as always, huh?

As always. How are you?

Pretty good now that I have my own room again. In Paris I was in an apartment with a bunch of people.

It's good to be back in the TARDIS. Travelling was nice, but you get used to a place.

Yeah. I know what you mean.

Are you up to anything?

Nothing special.

We should hang out again some time.

Yeah.

Hey, you like puzzles, right? There's a maze here in the castle. We should go explore it sometime!

That sounds like fun. Have you done it before?

Your old journal should be around here somewhere. And even then, you still have memories, right?

Not yet. I learned from the Labyrinth not to go into those things alone.

I do. You're right. I'm just used to having a lot of notes to go off of. Then again I'm also used to not having any. But I felt like I'd built something up here.

No. It's never good to do anything alone. If you don't have to.

I've been copying out things from the old journal that I'd like to keep in the new one, just because we don't know how long the old journals will be around, or last. I wouldn't be surprised if this had happened before, which is why things belonging to earlier generations never appeared in our journals.

Personally, I wonder if this is how historians in pre-technological eras felt, especially in times before printing presses. It's harder to ensure that information is passed down to those who come after us if we can't guarantee the information will be available anymore.

But at least this maze probably won't be nearly as screwy as the Labyrinth.

It sort of puts more importance on the information gained and the experiences we've been through.

That's a good idea. I'll have to go through and do the same.
