[Open your journals today, Paradisa, and you may just find this intruding all over your pages.]



[Alternatively, if you don't want to bother trying to decipher her attempt at handwriting on the bottom right of the page, there's a young girl kneeling in the middle of the floor in the lobby, journal resting on her lap. She's staring at it with a really puzzled expression, staring at all these question marks she made and hoping someone will get it.

Then again if someone tries writing back...well, she hadn't thought about that and it would be a pain since she's illiterate, but she heard voices, so she's hoping for voices in response...and yet a part of her is terrified of the idea of getting a response of any kind.]

[In an effort to say hello in a form that she can use, Jade draws a little picture for her. Hopefully she can understand that means he's in the castle too?]

Drawn

[voicelessvoice]

[Okay, she gets that...is it his castle though?

Hopefully he'll understand this, but she'll add in a little crown onto the drawing of himself and put a question mark beside it.]

Drawn

[Jade blinks, then erases the crown But how to show he was just a resident? Hmm...

He erases the stick figure of him in the door a moment later. Jade draws a little window up in the castle, then a stick figure of him in the window.]

Drawn

[voicelessvoice]

[Ah...so he lives here. Okay!

This time she'll draw in a little crown by itself, then add a question mark beside that.

If he's not the owner, then who is?]

Drawn

[Jade stares at it a moment, then draws little question marks all around the castle.

He doesn't know.]

[That's...weird. Was the surface world always going to be this strange?

Despite this however, this book has been pretty helpful. Nina twists the shackle around her wrist until it shows the name written on it, then carefully attempts to copy it onto the journal.

The writing is legible, a lot more legible than her initial attempt at writing, but it's still pretty bad. She's obviously new to this.]

"N I N A" [Adding in a little smiley face beside her name, for good measure.]

Written

[Jade writes back a moment later. He doesn't think she can read it, but for later reference. He can't talk, after all.]

'J A D E'

[voicelessvoice]

[Funny; neither can she!

She can't read either though. :(
So the name means little to her. I mean she assumes it's a name for a name scenario, but she doesn't know how to pronounce that, so hearing it wouldn't make a difference.

She'll just put a little question mark beside his name, cause it's the only way she can think of conveying her confusion.]

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

[Thinking she's asking what the word is, Jade draws a little stick figure of him again and draws a little nametag on the stick.

With a little arrow pointing to it.]
