[Written/Accidental Voice]

[Fenimore is still not very adept with the journal system, so she spent about ten minutes trying to turn on the voice feature before eventually giving up. Unbenownst to her, though, she actually did turn it on, so the following is a mixture of voice (normal text) and written (italics).]

[sigh] This isn't working. Shirley will know. I'll ask her later. Now where did I...?

[A few moments later, printed words appear. They look pretty unpracticed, being both slow and somewhat messy. Strikes are basically scribbled out, but since she didn't put much effort in people can probably read them with a little effort.] Is there someone named Can I talk to Charlotte, I have something for you.

...Did that work? Hmm. ...Oh, yeah.

I also have If someone lost a hat [There is a pause, with a couple of inkdrops falling on the page.]

[After a moment, she picks up Seles's hat and turns it around in her hands.] What should I call it? I can't say it looks like a pancake....

brown, ridic round hat, I have found it.

...Good enough.

Thank you. [She smiles as she takes the hat, although it's more than a little chilly and it doesn't match the sharp look in her eyes.]

In the future, perhaps it would be wise for you not to take other people's things.

[ffffffff. Well, there's not really much she can say to that because it is true.]

I--that's because I had just arrived and didn't know where I was!

[bitterhopes.livejournal.com]

Of course.

[She pauses, thinking.] ... mm. Still, I appreciate that you returned it; you could have kept it, and I would not have known. Thank you for your honesty.

[... of sorts, anyway.]

[Boy, you speak awkwardly formally. But Fenimore has better tact than to bring that up now.]

Uh, sure. You're welcome.

...I washed it, by the way.

[bitterhopes.livejournal.com]

... you have my thanks for that as well, then. [Not that she remembers it being dirty while she had it, but.]

[action]

[blessingone]

Yeah, uh, welcome. [It wasn't, but Fenimore wasn't going to risk Seles complaining that she had gotten it dirty.

She shuffles her feet a bit.] So, yeah. That's over with. Thanks and all.

There's no point in discussing it further, I suppose. [She nods, and bobs her head in Fenimore's direction.] Thank you for returning my hat. Goodbye.

[She then turns to leave.]

[blessingone]

[Fenimore nods in return.] Yeah, uh, bye.

[And she'll do the same. I am frankly amazed that ended without one of them blowing up at the other.]
