It appears to be a line of hobo glyphs. Using your binder to translate what you can and working the rest out from context, they appear to read "Will accept hitchhikers, but will spend six weeks grinding identical monsters and doing endless pointless sidequests before actually heading to their destination."

Occurs in The Penultimate Fantasy Airship.
