Hey @Leucrotta! I went out and got us a FOUNTAIN PEN!!

*cough* >,,>

it's a Pilot Varsity, cost like $2 at Office Depot but everyone on the internet seems to love them. They're "disposable", but it's apparently possible to pop the nib off with pliers and put more ink in.

And it writes in BRILLIANT BLUE,,,,

The gold pen here is our gel pen from last night. It's also quite nice. I gotta admit, even though /r/fountainpens RAVES about fountain pens (as you would expect), it doesn't seem to be clearly superior to the gel, at least at first.

@frost Those gel pens are NICE. My experience is fairly limited tho, the white ones are a great way to add really bright spot highlights to traditional art.

@Leucrotta Oooo nice, that's great to know!

The S-Gel can apparently take G2-style cartridges, so we could always grab a white cartridge and pop it in!
