[Action]

[Heart hasn't found a home yet, mostly because she's not sure she needs to and partially because no one has really invited her to live with them or anything. Thus, she's been living outside the village with her clothes that she picked up with her friends the other day stored away in the main item shop.

Which is where she is making it back to this morning, haven fallen "asleep" (simulated sleep, that is) outside and out of the square. Naturally, by the time she makes it back she is soaking wet, but well, she's okay. She just needs to change though... oh well. She'll do that in a corner of the building.

Anyone is free to run into her at any course during this affair.

Once she's done though, she picks up the journal which had been near her when she woke up the first time with wings. She's not sure what to do with it, honestly. After all, it doesn't seem like something she should be using. But all the same, she hears voices from it sometimes and she can't help but be curious... After looking around the store for a pen, she opens the book and then-]

[No, not even capitalized or period after it. She just wants to see if the words will include her picture and such like she thinks. ...Oh cool they do]

[Shirl~! Heart's protocol activates as soon as she sees the picture and thus enters mode 4 just for her. Her smile becomes more pronounced and her penmanship becomes less generic. It kinda looks like... what you might expect out of a teenager girl in a note she's passing in class, I guess. The dots on the i's are hearts and other little details like that]

Yeah; it's pretty neat how you can just write to people like this~ you can see everyone's penmanship.

[And Shirley thinks that Heart's handwriting is really cute, especially the little hearts. Shirley's handwriting isn't anything special; it's a <a href="http://www.iampeth.com/artwork/ECMills_01.jpg</a>simple cursive</a>.]</small> Isn't it? I like seeing how everyone else writes... although most people seem to prefer the Voice option.

[One tap of the pen, two... three... and then he pens in her response all fluidly like:] Well~ I can see why you might. After all, voice is pretty easy to do and it might be like a phone to some people. I'm not sure I know which I prefer yet.

"Phone"? What is that?

[...Heart giggles to herself here on this end, though Shirley obviously can't hear it, but then squiggles in something akin to a ♥ before answering-] I should've known you might not know that with handwriting as endearing as that~ It's a tool from back home, people can talk from a long ways away with them, sort of like these books.

Oh... so they're like the journals? What do they look like, if they aren't books?

Well, they look a little like~ Oh! Here, I'll sketch it for you ♥

[The result of her sketch actually looks pretty akin to that, honestly]

See?

Thank you... [Shirley watches the sketch as it takes form, an appreciative look on her face; while she has nice handwriting she's not much of an artist herself, so she enjoys watching people sketch.]

You're a very good artist, Heart. [There's a pause before the rest of her response, as she studies the drawing.] Wow, there are so many little parts... how does it work?

Well the pictures show up on the monitor here~ [And she draws an arrow to that] then the keys [arrow to them] are how you type in the words. There's one for each letter of the alphabet and them some for other symbols or numbers or those sorts of things. The mouse [arrow to that] is how you move around on the monitor.

[...She taps her pen on the journal a few times as she considers...] Of course, you can do a lot more on a computer than you can on these journals, I think.

So you can write without writing? That's so interesting... I wonder how the ink gets onto the paper...

A computer?... But didn't you draw what a phone looks like?

[...! She missed the point? Oh, she shakes her head, how silly of her. Anyway, she sighs before she then writes-] Oh, I'm sorry, I guess I didn't read carefully enough. That happens to me sometimes, I'm not as used to reading as I am to listening... [...]

Anyway~ This is a phone:

[That comes out... just about as fast] A little like the same, but smaller, you know?

[Shirley's idea of a computer and phone at this point is ... something like a typewriter. She'd get it if she had a physical one to look at she'd get it better, but... yeah. The thought of writing without paper has not even occurred to her, derp.]

You don't need to apologize... thank you for taking the time to draw them for me.

No problem~ It's fun to do things like this on a rainy day.

It's nice, being able to talk with friends that you wouldn't normally be able to see because of the weather...

It is at that~ ♥ It's really reassuring.
