Perhaps this is a long time coming, but I find myself in need of a few things. Since I try not to wish if I can help it, that means I'll be asking the general population for a bit of help and information.

I am in need of two things at the moment. A sword, preferably with a curved, one sided blade. The other is more common, a simple notebook. I think it would be best if it had a sturdy binding and blank pages.

I'm a bit low on funds at the moment, however, so I may need to find some employment to pay for these things.

However, I'm not without some skill. Perhaps I can trade knowledge for some goods? Though, I have not been too far into town yet, either. Do the shops there hire people regularly?

I suppose I must accept that I will be here longer than I anticipated.

Probably a wise approach. Like you, I don't wish for things if I do not have to.

There might be a place in town that can see the journal. I could go look for one, if you like.

[lifeandpride]

I think I'm about to meet someone in the lobby regarding the notebook, so I think that matter is settled for now.

Besides, I certainly wouldn't want you to go out of your way. I can always look there later, if I need to.

[peacockherald]

It is all right, Ukitake. I do not mind. I like being useful.

[lifeandpride]

I won't stop you then. I'll make it up to you.

How have you been?

[peacockherald]

Well. I have been doing more research into the shielding of rooms.

[lifeandpride]

Shielding of rooms? What do you mean, exactly?

[peacockherald]

You got me thinking, about the defense of the younger people in the castle and those unable to fight. Using my magics, I am able to shield rooms from physical, mental, and magical attacks.

[lifeandpride]

That sounds very useful, if you can get it to work. Is there anything I can do to help you?

[peacockherald]

If you have shielding magics, it might be useful. We will need more than my skills alone to make it truly impregnable, I am sure.

[lifeandpride]

'Magic' might not be the word for it, but I might have something. Perhaps we can discuss it soon, and not over the journals.

[peacockherald]

Surely. I think it would do us all good.
