[He's still getting the hang of this journal stuff, though admittedly the thought of it reminds him of older times and the legible feelings belonging to his wife in her final days. Nier's writing isn't particularly great. Not quite chicken scratch, but not impressive by any means.]

Not really sure how this works. Guess you just write stuff down.

I haven't been here long. Still getting to know the area. The people.

Name's Nier. I know there's another Nier here. I'm older than him, so call me 'Old Man,' or whatever. We aren't the same.

I did jobs for the people back home and I'm planning to keep myself busy. If you have something that needs doing, I'm your man.

huh.

ya know i didn't think about it that way. but i guess you're kinda right. all families are pretty weird, found or not.

[heseesonlyher]

If I were involved in a family that didn't have the unnecessary complication, I'd be constantly thinking it was a trap. Always wondering when something was going to go wrong or not according to plan. I'm good at improvising, so I prefer the unexpected in some ways.

[stupidmammon]

lmaooo
sounds like you'd get along just fine in my band of mistfits family.

[heseesonlyher]

Guess I will if you guys ever decide to adopt me for some reason.

[free old man to a good home]

[stupidmammon]

Who knows, we might wanna adopt a kid like you one of these days.

[heseesonlyher]

Does that mean it's my turn to start calling you 'Dad'?

[stupidmammon]

That depends on if you're gonna be a good boy or if I'll have to call you lil shit.

[heseesonlyher]

It's everything I've ever wanted.

[At least all of his sarcasm is in good humour.]

[stupidmammon]

[ lmaoo ]

Then welcome to the family kiddo.

[heseesonlyher]

Thanks, Dad.

[Honestly—]

You make me think of someone from back home. We used to banter a little like this. Pretty sure he was older than me, too. But I definitely called him 'dad.']

[He can just picture how Weiss would have handled that.]

[stupidmammon]

If I remind ya of him, he must be a pretty awesome guy.

[ Because clearly one would only be reminded of awesomeness when talking to Mammon! ]

[heseesonlyher]

I doubt he'd put it like that, but he'd agree. He loved attaching pretentious titles to his name. You're right, though. He was pretty great.

[Maybe a little less on the 'guy' part, though.]

[stupidmammon]

Kinda sounds like... you shared a pretty nice bond with whoever this person was.

[heseesonlyher]

I'd like to think so. We weren't always like that, but there's no one in the world like him. But then, I don't think there's many wise-cracking books in the world either.

[That's right. One of Nier's closest companions was a book filled with dry, witty one-liners.]
