This one's got pretty flowers! Can't go wrong with pretty flowers. The paper quality is great too.

She'll buy that one. It's a nice spring day as she walks back to the apartment she's sharing with her brother and she takes her time. When she gets home she yells a quick "Hi, before yanking off he dress and walking the rest of the way into her bedroom and hanging it up before sitting down at her desk. She writes her journal entry with a blue ballpoint pen.

New Journal. The previous one had a blue bubble texture with a red heart sticker on the front cover in the upper left corner.

That sounds pretty!

She stares at that for a few seconds. Then she pushes her chair back and goes to knock on her brother's door. "Tom can you look at something for me?"

"Sure," comes his slightly muffled voice. He opens the door and looks her up and down. "So, not a clothes question? I don't think that's new underwear."

"No, it's something a lot weirder. I think my new journal wrote back to me."

He looks carefully at her face. It doesn't look like she's joking. "Okay, show me."

She leads him back to her room and shows her what's been written so far. "I don't think I own a pink gel pen. And that definitely wasn't there before I started writing."

"That's weird." He pauses, "Try writing back I guess?"

"Okay." She carefully picks back up her pen and slowly writes back.

Hello, I'm not used to things writing themselves in my journals.

Most people aren't. I'm a pretty unusual journal.

Hello! I was sent by the Spirit of Femininity Unleashed to offer you its power.

"You saw that right?"

"I did. So... the Spirit of Femininity eh? I can see it."

"Yeah. That feels right."

I'm still a little stunned. That sounds interesting though. Can you tell me more? I'm Sapphire by the way. Maybe you already magically knew that somehow.

I don't know anything when I'm sent to talk to someone except that they'll be the first person who writes in me.

What would you like to know?

I'm not sure where to start. I think maybe you could tell me more about the Spirit? Or I guess you just said you didn't know why it picked me.

The Spirit is a very different type of being from you or me. It has a lot of power but can mostly only use it in very specific ways. One of its favourite things is when people get to be special and beautiful and powerful in a feminine way, and live their best happiest lives like that, so when it sees someone who would do well with a little bit of its power to help them, it sends someone like me to give them that power. So I know that you're open to being special and beautiful and powerful and feminine, because if you weren't, the Spirit wouldn't have sent me to you. But I don't know anything else about you, because it would be pretty weird and uncomfortable to spy on people before I say hello!

I guess? It feels like you could be more helpful though if you knew more ahead of time.

"There's this thing called privacy Sapphire. Most people care about it more than you."

But you might not like me to know a lot about you, and while I could find out whether you want me to know things without necessarily having to find out much else, I think the sort of person who's uncomfortable with me knowing a lot of things might still be uncomfortable with that. And if I have to sometimes not know things because people don't want me to know them, it's easier for me to just always not know things and get lots of practice with that situation, instead of sometimes knowing things and sometimes not.

She has to read that a couple times.

I think I understand. Does that mean you've done this with a lot of people before? Can you tell me anything about them?

I don't retain specific memories of my other work while I'm with someone in particular, for privacy reasons! Also because the nature of my relationship with time means there's not always a clear answer from my perspective here with you about whether I have or haven't spoken to a specific other person yet.

"Her relationship with time." He frowns. "Does that mean time travel is a thing?"

My brother's here with me and he wants to know whether that means time travel is a thing.

That's sort of a complicated question but I think the simple answer is yes. It might not have ever happened in your world, though, or be possible here without outside intervention.
