Wait, that last is all legible. What’s up with …
Stupid ink. Pigment settled out? Must shake
That’s just great. I apparently must stopper it, and shake it every single time I want to dip the quill, and then if I’m quick to dip teh quill, it actually loads useful ink onto the quill. If I don’t shake it, whatever they used for pigment settles back into the vial within about fifteen seconds and I get the results above. NOW I find out.
BTW, Qatana is still alive. Another good day.
