Oh! It's a business I'm thinking about opening here soon — a publishing company. I'm mostly just thinking about a newsletter for now. Little updates for people, maybe stories about some of our comrades here? We'll see, though.

Publishing?

[ He knows what a "pub" is. But he's pretty sure the town's already got one of those, and he doesn't see what it has to do with stories. Apart from telling them over a few rounds of ale. ]

What's a newsletter?

[notsonewbie]

[Unfortunately, this journalist doesn't bring alcohol into her work. But maybe if Roberto ever shows up, he'll put the Pub in publishing?]

It's when you print something out. A book or something.
And a Newsletter is usually a piece of paper, maybe a two or three. It's an update on major events. It helps people keep in touch and maybe learn things about other people.
Does that make sense?

[dedoink]

So, it's like a real short book? That sounds like my kinda readin'! Are there pictures, too?

[notsonewbie]

There can be! I'm trying to figure out how to get my hands on a camera. Granted, the photos aren't the focus, but they're a nice visual element to tie the story goether, you know.

[dedoink]

Books're always better with pictures! When ya look at a picture, ya know exactly what yer lookin' at. With words, ya gotta sound 'em out and then use yer brain to know what it's talkin' about.

[notsonewbie]

For me, that's part of the fun. But I imagine if that's not your background, it would be a bit more difficult. Just for you, I'll do my best to include a few pieces of artwork. If I can't find a camera, I'll just... figure out how to draw it all!

[dedoink]

Yer really nice, Meryl. Anybody ever tell ya that before?

[notsonewbie]

Oh, well. I mean -

[Briefly, she considers ending the voice call in entirely, or pretending that it's begun to cut out. That way he can't pick up on how she stumbles and stammers.]

Not all that often. I can be a bit... stubborn, sometimes. I'm sure you picked up on that too.

[dedoink]

Stubborn ain't a bad thing! I've won loads o' fights just by bein' stubborn.

[ Started a bunch of fights that way, too. ]
