Testing a new breakthrough

The ants finished making some adjustments to the crude microphones and set off to test it on an ally. I know that they won't get squished and I have assurance that they will come back because I let the allies know. The ants have orders to be seen as little as possible and make minimal noise, if the castle dwellers hear or see anything suspicious they are to let me know so the ants can identify the weaknesses in their setup.
I think its an ingenious device and if only we could modify it someway so that eventually I could give one to each of my friends and have multiple people talking at once. So far there can be multiple people talking at once but they kind of tone each other out sometimes... maybe this could be fixed by adding more wires... no they transmit it wirelessly to my receiver. Maybe we could have multiple receivers  and I could hire young educated men and women to act as secretaries so nothing that comes through goes unrecorded. I'll have to ask the ants about that.

Bad day for a caper

Today was kinda crappy, don't know why I guess it was just a teenager thing. and guess who found me? not Jarvis, not a maid... it was Caper.
at the time I didn't think anything about it but now I wonder, why was he looking for me and how did he find me? No one knows of my hiding spot.
When he found me he noticed I was kind of dejected and told me a story he came up with about a boy who got lost and no one could find him. he also said the boy had a wonderful family and they immediately started searching for him. I don't know why he put emphasis on the part about rescuing the boy though. It seemed as though that was his favorite part, losing the boy but immediately sending out search parties and finding him soon after...
Guess its not important though, so long as I'm having a better day now. You know what though, that story reminded me a lot of myself in a way.

Ant antenna the new way

Heya been kinda busy Dave, but I'm back. I know I've been neglecting you but I hope I can remember better. The ants have been working hard and came up with a device that can transmit sound over many miles. I knew this as a "radio" I think, my memories are a little fuzzy about some things.
If we can get just a little bit more range on it we could use it to spy on the jerks attacking us. It's small enough that a beetle and a small troop of ants could carry the whole transmitter and microphones around and set it up. The microphones are set up in key locations marked by our spies (which can get in but have trouble eaves dropping by the way) and then they send the sound to the transmitter and according to the ants that sends it to the receiver. I don't know how efficient it would be with multiple microphones because there could be multiple conversations... I guess for ants though this is very advanced as it is so I shouldn't expect it to be perfect.
I hope this wonderful friendship between us and the ants can continue, along with my positive mindset.

The first one I've told

I like cape, he's quite a character. Today we had a fun filled conversation about magic, I showed him a few tricks from my time and he showed me a trick or two from medival ages. I even told him a little about how I got here because he is crazy enough to believe it (he's just a little loopy and he certainly doesn't act like people around here). I don't think he'll tell anyone but if he does once again the crazy factor comes into play, they probably won't believe him. 
Oh and another thing, last night I saw a flash of light on the topic the hill and then shortly after another flash. I'm not sure what it was, maybe a faulty firework set off by some villager? 
Anyway, cape is cool and I needed someone to talk to so I did... hope I won't regret it.

Caper is cryptic

Hehe, big words are fun, I like confusing people with them. What was I talking about yesterday... hold on Dave im going to go look at what i just wrote yesterday.
Ah, Caper, well no info from the market, he must be out of town. You wouldn't believe the stuff my chef can come up with, he has some very informed contacts. My guess is one of his girlfriends is the town busybody -the womanizer.
Maybe I should see if any of my friends from the alliance know. Caper might be from a city near them and they've heard of him. Untill then I should watch him closely, number one to enjoy his entertainment. Number two because I don't have any information on him...

The capers of Caper

He goes by Caper. Our jester that is. No one knows his real name, it's a mystery. The reason for his peculiar nickname though is his numerous tricks he does with his out-of-character cape. I also know he's just as mischievous as me yet he knows when to stop, he plays pranks but not cruel ones. He is my idea of a perfect jester, he can size up his crowd and know how to make them laugh. Best of all he knows all the medival age anecdotes, to me they are tiresome but to everyone else they are a riot. They are my favorite because it creates such a lively atmosphere but isn't distracting -since they bore me. I really wish I could find out his name though. Maybe if I dig up information in the market place I can get somewhere. And unfortunately that will have to wait till tomorrow at least because if I started asking directly people would get suspicious and possibly clam up. I'll have to assign it to one of my staff next time they go to grab some ingredients...
