[ He had been told that filters work for people who are there. Well, here is a name he is pretty sure is only there in a way. And filtering to 'Private' whenever he feels like talking his thoughts to a book feels odd. So the name is scrawled, and after a moment, he continues writing. ]

Filtered to Asruld: There aren't two of you, are there.

[ A small test done with, Sion turns his attention to the journal, and this time the castle's occupants. Never mind that it is definitely dark outside. Exactly how late it is, Sion isn't really sure. ]

Out of all the technological advancements I can hope to see come to pass, I think I have found my favorite. [ Anyone familiar with ball point pens might recognize this noise. He isn't clicking rapidly right now, more of a marveling click, click! ]

These are fantastic. No more ink pots[ click ], which generally manage to make a mess somehow. [ click ] Of course, there's no sometimes hilarious ability to shoot ink at someone else's face either. [ click ] No need to sharpen a quill, and I can just pick up a different pen [ click, click ] if I want a different color.[ click ] I haven't managed to make it blot messily, the way pens occasionally do when you leave them sitting [ click ] still for too long.

_{[ Sion, never have you been so close to being murdered in the most horrible way imaginable. ]}

Stop. Just. Stop. Stop clicking. Do you know what time it is?

[ Oh, he doesn't know about that. Several people have been interested in some horrible ways to end him.

It doesn't stop him from sounding so very cheerful as he replies. ]

Sometime past nine. I haven't checked recently.

[ There might be a click while he's talking. Maybe. ]

There is no time in the day where all that clicking is appropriate. Please stop before you drive the rest of the Castle mad.

The rest? Good sir, are you implying that you or I are already mad?

[ There's still a quiet click or two while he's talking. Like he's clicking the pen behind his back. ]

I have fallen prey to the insanity that clicking brings with it, and surely you must have to not finding it maddening yourself.

Maddening? Here I thought it sounded like.. particularly forceful crickets.

Particularly forceful crickets are usually dealt with by particularly cunning birds.

[ That sounds like a threat. Is that a threat? ]

... I didn't know birds had a taste for ink.

[ Its probably a threat. Then why does he sound quite so amused about that? ]

You would be surprised. Birds are remarkably adaptable, I find.

_{[ Not quite a threat, but he might find you and snap that "cricket" in
two. ]}

I'll have to remember not to leave my window open. ... If it even opens.

It might. Perhaps if you wish hard enough.

You don't need to keep clicking it like that.

But its a marvelous little thing.

[ Clicking still? Yep. ]

Who would have thought that ink could be so thick as to not leak out of a tube, yet still flow from a little metal ball contraption?

There are ones you don't have to click, too. They twist or have caps.

I'm familiar with ones with caps, but I have to use ink that isn't inside them to write anything.

[ ... Which could be taken as "Yes, he did pick the most annoying pen to be thrilled about on purpose". ]

They have ones with caps and ink inside.

[The clicking needs to stop.]

I've noticed.

[ ... Yeah no he's just being an ass. The clicking is muffled now, though, like its under a blanket or something. ]

[Wow, this guy. Seriously?]

I couldn't tell.

[ His humor. Its an odd sort. ]

Sorry.

[ The clicking stops. Amazing! ]

My friends and I usually get along by making a nuisance of ourselves to each other.

[ And he throws inkpots at their heads sometimes. Y'know, all between friends? ]

I used to know someone like that. [Well--] I mean... that's how we acted, too.

... Oh my god.

That is... that is totally annoying.

...

I gotta get one to bother Elsa with!

I think they are called 'ball point pens', which mostly has to do with how there's a ball at the point.

[ Click, click- ]

You don't want one with a cap, it doesn't make nearly so much noise.

I see, I see. How do I tell the difference between them?
