[It seems one particular resident who has just arrived does not seem to be aware of the journal's transmitting properties. As such, he seems to be writing down on the journal and not expecting anyone to read it.]

Reminder to self: no more cheesecakes after 3AM, since it leads to waking up in strange castles with no clue how I got here.

Also reminder to self: find a better note journal. This one has writing in it already, even if the cover is lovely.

(( ooc: Now with matching log post!

Sandoval is terrible and has no trouble talking about or doing lewd things in front of people. He tends to go for men and desserts. I highly suggest if you or your character(s) are uncomfortable with sexual material to post HERE for my reference! Thank you! ))

[written]

[dontpatr0nizeme]

That's because it isn't a normal journal. It's a communication device.

Forever written!

[sandoval]

[He's rather dumbfounded for a moment, because he's never really encountered a book writing back at him before. But, after a moment, he replies back with only a few words.]

Beg pardon? Then who am I communicating with?

[dontpatr0nizeme]

My name is Washington.

But anything you write in here unfiltered can be read by anyone else in the castle with a similar book. It can also record voice.

[sandoval]

Washington. It has a nice ring to it.

I'm not sure I understand everything you just said wrote. What is "unfiltered"?

[dontpatr0nizeme]

... What?

[Filtered to this person]

This is filtered. No one else can see it.

[sandoval]

Pardon, I had said that out loud. I understand now what you meant by reacting to voices.

Oh? And how do I do that?

[It doesn't look any different to him, so he's not sure if he should bother.]

[dontpatr0nizeme]

Just write [Filtered to Washington] on the page. Or say it out loud. The journal is smart.

Dictated

[i_got_this]

Oh my god. Why don't you just yell newbie, why don't you?

[muttering,] Note to self; don't leave the journal open.

Dictated + Written

[sandoval]

[The first part is dictated, as he's unaware that can happen yet.]

What--?

[Then the next part appears to be him writing again, as it's a slightly more formal style.]

Rude greetings aside, do you have a name? Or should I just call you any name I fancy? How do you like "cupcake"?

[i_got_this]

[She just stares at the journal for the moment, taken aback by cutesy nicknames. She snorts a laugh before replying, amused.]

Sure, why the fuck not. Cupcake it is. What should I call you? Strudel?

Now written forever!

[sandoval]

It's subject to change, of course! I can't call you cupcake all the time, that would just be boring!

Only in the bedroom, cupcake. My full title is the Ambassador of Xoan, but I suppose I can make one little exception for you and let you call me Sandoval.

Dictated forever because South is Lazy

[i_got_this]

Can I expect them to be all food variations or are you going to throw in kitten or cabbage periodically? I'll need to know what to expect.

Oh geez, a title. Why aren't you special. Well, Sandoval, I have a title, too. It's Agent. But you don't have to use that. Maybe just in front of other people. Agent Cupcake.

[sandoval]

Is cabbage not a food? But I do like kitten! I'll have to start making lists.

Titles are very, very important sometimes. "Ambassador" has gotten me out of quite a lot of trouble in the past.

Ooh, Agent Cupcake! I like that even better!

[pompous_today]

I had no idea cheescake was capable of doing such a thing.

[sandoval]

Cheesecake is capable of a great many things! You just have to be creative with it.

[pompous_today]

I'd ask for specifics, but I think my imagination is doing wonders on its own.

[sandoval]

Ooh, my kind of person! Tell me, does my kind of person have a name?

[pompous_today]

I'm Simon. And you are...?

[sandoval]

Ambassador Sandoval of Xoan. Nice to meet your handwriting, Simon! Perhaps one day we can meet in person!

Oh, and you can call me Sandoval, best not to be too formal if we're comrades-in-arms, stuck in this castle togeter, right?

D i c t a t e d ; ;

[wheatdos]

Cheese... cake? Oh... I've had that before. S'great isn't it...?

....

Though... not the point. Trailing off topic now. But... um... you uh, probably should leave your journal closed for one... b-because people can hear you. Everyone listening at least. Nosy little things, but wouldn't want to let anything slip over the journal.

[And as an add on, he mutters...]

...Happened to me a few times... actually.

Forever written!

[sandoval]

Yes, it's very delicious! Though I like pastries and desserts of all sorts. I'll try anything once!

Hear me? How can anyone hear someone writing? That would just be silly.

Oh, I really have nothing to hide, so it isn't really an issue. I can tell you my whole life story right now!

Re: Forever written!

[wheatdos]

Same question I asked myself when I first got here.
Still don't know how it works. Can't help you with that.
But you can consider me a tour guide of sorts. Can do that. I... I'm quite good with tour...ing.

[Though he isn't sure how to take the invitation of hearing the life story. There's a bit of shuffling on his side of the journal as he prepares to get comfortable. Usually life stories were long.]

Oh... um...
You can, if-if you want. Always good to learn about each other.

[sandoval]

That's fine. Some questions don't come with answers! Like the meaning of life, or if chickens came before eggs, or what my favorite flavor of syrup is!

You'd really give me a tour of this place, all for little old me? That's very sweet of you. I'd love a tour!

[He can tell you his life story during the tour!! :D Isn't that exciting?]

[wheatdos]

Great!

[Super! He laughs a little bit and there's more shuffling.]

The name's Wheatley by the way! Just Wheatley. Nothing fancy, in case I forgot to mention it before. We should probably meet somewhere If I'm going to be able to show you around.

[sandoval]

Wonderful to meet your writing, Wheatley. My name is Sandoval. Ambassador to Xoan, but that's not important right now. What is important is where we should meet!

Since I am the guest here, I will leave it to you as to whether I should find you or you should find me. But I haven't really explored yet, so I don't know where I am! Other than in a castle, of course.
