[scribed in Dutch.] 1900, de herfst I have become one of guilt for the way I yearn for the benevolence of my acquaintances. It is difficult to still make this land my home, as the constant clatter has caught up to me. Time passes too quickly for a madam like me. How will I settle? Is the revolutionization for me? I have many questions for my mother, my family. How did they become one with being solus in this state? The gazes I get are the ones I grieve at night. Do the ladies I fare with settle for less? Do they struggle with the same? Each lady I have invited for a cup of tea have never come. I don't know how mother did it.

Could be a great addition for first time players to get a text box with useful info and know the support commands to reach the team 🙂

[scribed in Dutch.] 1900, de herfst Blackwater, Blackwater. My home. My comfort. So much has happened in my small world of Tahoma since the day I last wrote. The island is no longer one I visit, as the scene cannot be riddled from my head. Blackwater is where I stay. I do not want to step foot into its soil to leave a cross and flowers for the man we buried. Who is there to be? I took his belongings. Belongings that string across the table in my apartment. I remember sitting, pondering. The same perplexed look on my face as the night Kat and I shared a cup of tea. Her admittance is for one that she will never wed.

[scribed in Dutch.] 1900, de herfst The unanimous decision to reside in Blackwater has been steady. I have been blessed with many men and women in my life supporting my journey to the south, as I was welcomed in open hands by Widow Messer and her counterparts. The triplicity, as I began to call them in my thoughts, have also been quite the help. Mister Bolland, Bowman and Neill have become a part of my day, whether it’s out hunting, boating, or anything in between. Chipping in with the boat funds has given me an opportunity to explore various islands with friends, including Kat. A wonderful woman who has kept a steady eye for me these past days. Kat and I met from Mister Bolland, as all three of us went to a nearby piece of land at Bolland’s discretion. They continued to discuss ‘dinosaurs’, a word I’ve rarely heard before. Some books were written in Dutch I was able to read and further learn from. Apparent or not, an iguana is not a dinosaur. I will never forget watching Mister Bolland skin the animal before me. I politely, had to turn away and decompress.

[scribed in Dutch.] 1900, seizoensverandering naar de herfst Johan is here. Godan has heard my pleas to wade my way in this town, or perhaps he did not. Annesburg is no good, and the bitterness of this town can take upon one’s tongue quite unpleasantly. ‘The Valentines are the ones who rest in mud’ In the midst of the storm Godan has blessed us with, I was rightfully unprepared while trapped in Blackwater. After a fruitful conversation shared between a drink that I never finished, Mister Bolland, a client and steady friend, took our rightful trip back to Valentine. An Irishman that I never quite caught the name of joined as well. It was still windy by the time we set ourselves in motion, with the rain pelting our skin to the point it stung. None of us could see, or perhaps, I assume we could not see. The light from the moon was so dim to the point all I could see was bushes and trees less than five feet away from me. It was too late. I was struck by another man on his horse and thrown on my way back to Valentine. The horse is dead, but somehow, the amount of rain strewn in the grass saved me from further injury. Another soak in the tub to soothe the wounds.

Hi! Adding on to this, is it possible to have the character description save to come back up for editing?
