Is there a ramen place around here? I don't have a friend's cookbook to make it myself.

...actually, do they have cookbooks around here?

Got a proposition for those here who've taken up brewing potions.

I've got a collection of ingredients, fresh gathered from the wooded areas, and can continue to find them with little effort. Willing to trade for whatever you're able to give in turn, negotiation in person only. Can give in a steady enough supply if offer is worthwhile.

Serious inquiries only, save us all some time.


[The writing is plain and simple, mostly because he almost didn't even bother after thinking over writing anything at all.

Which, in all honesty, means he is likely to ignore those not answering in interest of the offerunless familiar. This might not be some internet forum, but hell if it isn't the same idea in the form of magical journals as far as he's concerned.]

[If you noticed Dojima’s handwriting before, it could be a bit chicken scratch- not from a lack of penmanship, but simply because his work had him writing up a lot of reports, and you had to do it quickly. This time however, his handwriting is noticeably neater and careful, trying to make sure no one can misread the information.]

Notice to All Aspects.

Within the recent months, a scam artist has been making the rounds in the Index, going after both locals and Aspects alike.

Based on description, the culprit is likely a Dwarf, who’s hair varies in colour, possibly dying it or using magic to change it.

If you or anyone you know has been involved in some sort of scam, please let either me or Eustace know; we’re currently involved in the investigation. Information on what the scam entitled, the date it occurred, the scammer's appearance, and location would be a great benefit.

[The handwriting then switches to something a little cleaner and not necessarily elegant, but neat.]

There are suspicions that there may be multiple individuals, making it a crime ring. If you think you found one, don't do anything stupid. There haven't been reports of any violent exchanges, but we don't need this to become more complicated than necessary.

However, if you do manage to capture one, bring them to the nearest law enforcement.


Feel free to respond to us here, or come to us in person at the Index Guard house where we’re currently stationed.

[Notes: Dojima did most of the talking, Eustace is the colored text. Reminder that all threads are open to everyone, so feel free to respond to each other to swap notes or be reminded of clues. The official "plotting" posting is here and anyone can still sign up if they want to! We can work out follow-up threads if desired and last reminder that players are free to come up with random clues to help flesh out the dwarves and scams.]

Hi, there! I hope that everyone’s okay after the Story Eater attack. That was… really intense.

Anyway… I’ve been thinking a lot about this lately, and I think I’m going to go home for a little while. I want to get stronger at cooking, and that’ll take some time and practice. [And she wants to strengthen her relationships with her friends and family there…] I don’t know how long I’ll be in my world, or how much I’ll be able to remember this time, but I’ll ask to Storyteller to bring me back in a few days by Index time.

Before I go, though… what are some of your favorite foods? Are there any recipes from your homes that you miss here? What about birthdays, or holidays that aren’t celebrated in the Index?


[For almost everyone, that’s the whole message. But then Kotori adds another, more private question to a certain someone.]

As long as I'm stuck here, I might as well use all of you to my advantage. I've been here long enough - correction, Scrooge McDuck and I have been here long enough that no doubt he's mentioned me once or twice.

(The round one.)

But knowing that cheap miser, I doubt he's told you the whole story. So allow me to pose a query to you all.

Let's say you have a enemy you've been fighting with for years. It's been frustrating, exhausting, and you've wasted time and money just to keep them away. They've hexed your body, mind, home, everything they can get their hands on, time and time again. They've gone after your family and friends.There's no doubt they'll be hounding you for the rest of your life. However, there is one simple way to make them go away forever and never hear from them again.

One dime.

For those of you with different money systems, think of it as the smallest, cheapest, almost-close-to-worthless amount of money you can own.

Would you or would you not hand it over so you can know peace for the rest of your days?

Recipient: Everyone. Unfortunately.

[Rest in pieces, Index, because Eizen has been drinking with Rokurou. His handwriting is messy but legible and oh boy are the drawings included on this post surprisingly good for a drunken scribble.]

So Rokurou told me that there are kids here. Kids who may not know certain things. I may be a pirate but I’m also a big brother and a scholar and I know how you humans are.

You fuck like rabbits. And you’re bad at it. [In Rokurou’s handwriting:] speak for yourself I know the library here doesn’t have anything on romance or sex I’ve looked so that means you unfortunately have to deal with me. I’ve been drinking a lot.

[Little drawings in Rokurou’s hand of beer mugs. Eizen just wants to let everyone know why this is happening. Enough awareness to do that but not enough to stop this trainwreck.]

I can’t speak for how it works between two women but--

[What follows is a very drunken ramble covering the basics that Eizen can cover. With rough sketches to illustrate. Your journals may protest and censor things.

And commentary from Rokurou, though at one point there is a color war as Rokurou tries to make comments when Eizen starts talking about less tame things that end with Eizen writing "I am a thousand years old I think I know more shut up you drunk". Rokurou’s comment is just "haha old". And also a dick.

And he does attempt to offer ideas for how it works between two women but it’s not like Eizen would ever have a chance to find out how. Again, he crosses out anything Rokurou tries to say here because not happening.]


Any questions? Don’t ask Rokurou though. [And another scribble war on the journals. They are sitting right next to each other.]

[In the morning you will find a message at the top of the start of the previous entry from Eizen. In big, bold letters:]

FORGET YOU EVER READ THIS

IF YOU SEE ROKUROU KILL HIM
