[at least the letter was fairly self-explanatory. If you could call that self-explanatory. whatever. At this present moment, you can find Germany wandering around. Well, not like he's lost but let's say like he's just trying to get the lay of the land. Learn his way around.

Okay, and yeah, he's lost.

Anyway feel free to run into him wherever is convenient! If your character is doing anything really unapt of a cadet feel free to assume you're being judged. A little. Maybe a lot. Your discretion.]

So this is some kind of mass forum system?

People are resistant to change, no matter how logical the change may be. I'm not particularly worried about it, although that may be because I intend to do what I like regardless of prejudice. [if her world wasn't destroyed she'd have been a killer in the work field. THROAT. CUTTER.]

It's true. You should hear the way my brother still talks.

[bookshrew.livejournal.com]

It's probably best not to. My attempts to converse intelligently with the stubbornly ignorant usually end badly.

[mashespotatoes.livejournal.com]

He's just...

stuck in his ways. His heyday was in the 1700s.

[this explains everything. okay.]

[she tsks sympathetically] It was a good century for cartographers, at least.

[mashespotatoes.livejournal.com]

As I said, if you want something right, you should do it yourself.

[fuck yes he is drawing a map.]

[bookshrew.livejournal.com]

A philosophy I adhere to quite strictly. The only roadblock is having to temporarily rely on the guidance of others whilst learning a new craft.

[mashespotatoes.livejournal.com]

But things tend to go more smoothly after that.

[bookshrew.livejournal.com]

So long as you can keep the incompetent from sticking their hands in, yes.

[mashespotatoes.livejournal.com]

Sometimes they find a way to get involved anyway, but I really doubt that will be a problem as far as mapping goes.

[bookshrew.livejournal.com]

Just don't leave it lying around, or else you might find it covered in dragons and sea monsters.

[mashespotatoes.livejournal.com]

And the end of the world.

[bookshrew.livejournal.com]

That would be especially dangerous, as I know that at least I couldn't resist a challenge like that. It wouldn't be long before I'd gathered up a crew and makeshift boat to go and disprove the foggy ignorance of the Neo Dark Ages.

[mashespotatoes.livejournal.com]

The world is lucky to have people like you, ready to disprove the eternally scary.

[bookshrew.livejournal.com]

A lucky branching off from my innate inability to stand for useless gibbering and mass hysteria for more than a moment or two. Someone has to throw the torch into the dark, and if no one else but me will step up so be it. I'm certainly not afraid of the unknown.

[mashespotatoes.livejournal.com]

That's how things move forward.

[bookshrew.livejournal.com]

So long as they don't burn my writings along with me.

[mashespotatoes.livejournal.com]

Is that how you imagine your future? I doubt things are quite so barbaric.

[bookshrew.livejournal.com]

It was a useful exaggeration of pertinent imagery more than anything. My demise will be much less mob rule and much more melancholic, I think.

[mashespotatoes.livejournal.com]

You're still young.

[bookshrew.livejournal.com]

If my universe has its way I'll be dead in a matter of days once I'm returned. Age has ceased to mean anything beyond a marker.

[mashespotatoes.livejournal.com]

You don't really sound like the type to resign yourself that easily.

[bookshrew.livejournal.com]

I did say if my universe had its way. I'm working on countermeasures.

[mashespotatoes.livejournal.com]

The tentacular ones?

[bookshrew.livejournal.com]

Among others.
