We should wait to see the rest of the diary before thinking too much about the crayon underlining. If this was written 30 years ago, then the Jester either has been planning this for a long time, or just happened to find the one 6 year old's diary who coincidentally underlined a ROT-13 cipher while she was going.
Though, purposes of the game, I'd be willing to suspend disbelief, but that the inked page is the only one she labeled as a clue, we should start there.

TEH Dishwasher
Seems the goal is Derek's survival pitted against Jester's countless opportunities to torture him/drive him mad. The probability of Derek impulsively tossing all his clothing into a washer to be 1) shredded by some malfunction, 2) stolen while they were drying & he was sleeping or 3) forced to wear wet & die from exposure when Jester purposely left his cabin door open seemed too high to risk. Mentioning this now as am time-zone challenged and likely won't be here when it arrives so.....
Guess there's a choice to either feed into Derek's increasing instability or cowgirl-up and guide him into testing the dishwasher with some non-essential item then washing & drying (which dishwashers do) each piece of his clothing separately. Zeus knows what Jester's "amusing" idea of a clothes/dishwasher is anyway.
ETA: Re the printing noted by Ashe, "0w" is the "space" symbol in Base36. Noting b/c there was a prev Base32 clue tho it may just form an anagram with that crayon

You have to take style into account though. It's not unreasonable to assume that's where the lines would go most neatly, not that it's an overt clue. Plus, Karen did the crayon, someone else did the ink. We should worry more about that someone else.
As I said though, it's just what seems to look emphasized. I realize with handwriting that's extremely hard to tell. It could very well be meant for the entirety of "heart" and "ow game" to be underlined. We don't and at this moment can't exactly know for sure. In any case, "Ow Game" definitely piques my curiosity.

Anyway, "Ow Game" (or was it city?) strikes me as oddest.
From what I see it looks like this (going to capitalize letters that seem to have emphasis on them).

Not sure if it's a clue, but I got my answer:

Neville watches an "Easter Egg" on his Buffy disc that contains an older man addressing the camera. Is this man Ruggiero Magro?
yes.
Also, odd to note, these two (also from me, but I wasn't logged in):

Dottoe, by "Ruggio" do you mean "Ruggiero Magro"? (Page 5) Am really curious who that fellow's daughter might be.
That's it, I was running late and didn't have time to spell check. It's implied that he may have killed someone (I'm guessing wife or daughter, and possibly with puppet strings) then regretted it and tried to bring (her?) back to life, giving birth to the Wooden Girl.

Ahahaha Booba. Am super-certain petit fours & finger sandwiches would be all you fellas would ever need with such a dishwasher.

Great team work runninsavvy and Dia.
savvy- that solve should have worked, except for maybe a typo?
Hint- always cut and paste when possible, cuts down on errors. If you can't, always check your work first, before you spend an hour or so on it and then realize you screwed it up from the get-go (and I speak from experience on that one )
Am, were thinking Derek could get this model dishwasher?
No, no! Don't ever apologize for that. Really, you just helped us solve the latest clue. Besides, they're currently on the track of tricking us, and all around trying to deceive the pants off of us. (Hopefully not literally.)
Thanks for telling me that, I just didn't want to seem like I was marching in here and taking over haha.

Thanks! And while I do respect that it is your decision, I dont believe that Derek ever said anything about actually having dishes... but hey, who knows? Sorry if it seems like im being too forward...
