Entry One:
Today I arrived by ship to a new land. I will admit I was fairly unimpressed by my first moments. But then this was only the docks. As I continues into the port town I was stopped by customs who had plenty of questions for me. I do hate these practices at almost any port I wash up on... I gave him a false name and went on my way. Surprisingly he had no problem accepting it and letting me in.
I spent an hour or two familiarizing myself with this new place and eventually bumped into a man on the street. After a very short period of conversation, and by that I mean an "excuse me", I realized he was deaf. He handed me a book before I could walk away, managing to comunicate that he wished me to return it. My first thought was to refuse. I then remembered that there was no library here that I had seen. He showed me where the city was that I needed to return the book. I wished to see the other areas of this new land anyway, and so I agreed.
When I arrived in the city I was happy to see that it was much larger and seemingly more populated. I wasted no time entering and began to explore. It was rather dull actually but it was also getting late, so I will judge the city's liveliness another time. The clothing store was luckily still open though. For a few coin I was able to trade in these rags for something a bit nicer. When I left I remembered the time and hurried to the entertainment district (almost ending up in the sewers in the process, damn commoner). I did reach the library before it closed to return the book though. I was asked to pay a fee but after explaining that the book was not mine it was dropped. I wonder why people are so willing to accept things here, whether true or not.
I hope to find my way to the forest tomorrow some time.
