@Discombra

(Okay, new letter go:)


A voice recorder. It's dated 2 years ago. It's dusty. You can see the remains of a muddy footprint.

?????: Do I have to do this? [silence] Fine.

?????: Greetings, otherworlder? [pause]

????? much quieter: That didn't sound right. Hello…? Greetings, human? [pause] I didn't mean for that to be an undertale reference. [louder] Ugh. Ignore that crap I just said.

Soft footsteps. Something scraping across a wooden floor

?????: Greetings, whoever receives this. My name is Nadia. And I'm 16 years old.

Nadia: Someone I-

Long pause

Nadia: Someone I know suggested using this uh- using this recorder to communicate with other worlds. [chuckle] I'm pretty sure he was just indulging me at the time; Nathan is the biggest sceptic in Norwich. [sigh]

Nadia: Right, questions. Questions, questions questions…

Sound of knees crawling across the floor. Shuffling of papers

Nadia: So, uh. I guess the typical 'Who are you?' questions are kind of implied already so, I'll skip that. How old are you? I'm 17 years old.

Nadia: What's your favourite colour? Are you in school? I'm in 11th grade at a K-12 school. What do you like to do?

Nadia: What's different about your universe? Wait, how'll you know that I'm from a different one? Let me think of important events.

Nadia: Um… The president of the USA is Donald Trump. There was a mass shooting in L.A. Hurricane Irma- [mumbling] Fine, I'll just ask questions.

Nadia: What country do you live in? Are there countries? Wait, are you even on Earth??

Nadia: Why am I doing this? [giggling] What am I even doing right now?

Nadia: I'll just end it there. I doubt that I'll get a letter anyways. Bye.

The recording ends.

(You might not want to open on that. Too much baggage for someone to casually join. Also is this the real world? Because unless you have another world (urban fantasy) inside that, it won't work here.)

@writers_goddamn_block group

Syth,

Apologies for the lateness of this letter, I was preparing for the trial. Speaking of which, I won, but I have to abide by the Wartime clause of Veriviane's Law (this is basically an assurance that although we are apart, nether of us send a Dear John letter, and/or use Wartime as an excuse for infidelity.)
And yes, Love has so many laws and constraints. You can't so much as hold hands without pretty much entering into a ten year lease. The marriage vows here happen to be beautiful though.
I am actually very well versed in the Strange Codes and in God's laws, Even Yonderside Conduct and Regulations, I could be a lawyer. (instead im stuck pulling my assistant's head out of a tuba)

I send hugs,
M.G.

P.S. Git it boiiiiiiiiii

@Althalosian-is-the-father book

-this letter was sent in on an old menu for a Chinese food place-

Hello, Daniella :D

Well, if you couldn't tell, I'm not very rich on paper or in general, so yeah. I had to deface this poor, poor menu. Welp, no one was using it anyway.

No hobbies? Well, that's not very… fun. Though from what you're saying, I'm guessing you don't really have time for much fun. Well, what kinds of books do you read? Do you have a favourite book? I'm not really much of a reader as I am a writer, but I still do tend to enjoy literature.

I guess your powers make more sense now. At least, I believe I understand how they work. It seems kinda cool, but I sure as hell don't want it. Too much responsibility. And I suppose you should learn to resent your trainer less? I mean, you've already admitted he's right, so I suppose there's no harm in letting go of your harsh feelings towards him? It seems he's only trying to do the best he can for you.

I've never left Wyoming, mainly 'cause I 1) can't afford to and 2) my dad won't let me. It kind of sucks.

Well, uh, my mom's kinda dead, so that's a thing. But I mean, it's alright I guess. I just kinda miss her. That aside, I'm not going to waste what little space I have on this menu with my tragedies.

I mean, I would get help, but I don't know who to get help from. And the last place I'd want to go is to my school counselor because I just know he'll give me some "solution" that won't actually work.

Well, with this sentence, I am running out of room to write, so I leave you with a parting question. If you were an animal, what would you be? Why do you think you'd be that animal?

Au revoir!
-Kyle

P.S. I'm thinking of getting my name changed, is that weird?

Hey, Kyle.
Are you okay? Your not having any paper to write on on hand makes me concerned for your well-being.
Yeah. I was in softball a while back. But it's been like ten years and I really don't care.
I'm not sure about a favorite book. I honestly kind of like a lot of the stuff I had to read in my English classes though, though I was never really into Shakespeare. Did you?
What do you mean you don't read much? I would think it essential that a writer reads a lot.
Silas might be doing his best for me in his own mind, but I know it's not the best. He shot me once! Over and over for a day! He healed me afterwords, but that's no excuse.
Yeah, I get that. I rarely ever left the town we moved to until my last year of highschool.
I get that too. I'm not really sad about it anymore, it's just… it would be really nice if she was still around.
Have you tried your counselor before? I don't know, but I would think there would be someone who could help.
I haven't really thought about it. A bird probably. An eagle maybe? They're protected, and I think it would be nice to be able to just fly away sometimes.
Why in the world would you change your name? It sounds very weird.
All the best,
Daniella

@I-make-stuff

Dear Azrael,
Getting a new motorcycle for your wife sounds like a great gift! You could get it inscribed with "Warhorse" something as a personalized touch. I hope you have a good Valentine's day!
Anyway, I really will try to ignore them. I suppose it would be pretty memorable to me if I got expelled, though. But everything will work itself out, probably, so it's fine.
You said you're a horsewoman of the apocalypse - are you just reaping souls in the meantime while you're waiting for the end of the world? What exactly happens during Armaggedon?
Sincerely,
Chelsea

Deleted user

Dear Chelsea,
What will happen in Armageddon? Well, I'm not exactly sure, but Heaven and Hell will have one last Great Celestial War, to see whose side is the best. The whole "Heaven will win" thing? Pure propaganda. If it were like that, there wouldn't be a Great Celestial War to begin with. It's really an 50/50 chance on who will win.
As for the motorcycle, I will do that. Thanks for the tip!
I'm reaping souls because I have to. Got any more questions? Feel free to ask!
Sincerely,
Azrael

@I-make-stuff

Dear Azrael,
You said that hell has angels and demons and stuff, and is kind of like Earth except with hellfire and the souls of the damned. But what's heaven like? What is the purpose of you guys fighting? Is it just because you're opposites, or destiny or something? Man, if I was immortal, I think I'd go nuts without having plenty of stuff to keep me busy because if I had all the time in the universe to think about random stuff like this, I would constantly trigger migraines. Yeah, it's hereditary.
Also, how's everything going in your town? It's Paradox Vortex, right?
Sincerely,
Chelsea

Deleted user

Dear Chelsea,
Who said I haven't gone insane already? I'm kidding with you, man. Heaven is like Earth, except perfect. There's the soul of the Blessed up there. It's so perfect, it's sickening. The purpose of Heaven and Hell fighting is because it's destined to happen. So, yeah, destiny. What type of music do you like? I like Heavy metal, especially Death Metal.
Yeah, it's Paradox Vortex. We just visited a ghost town not too far from here. Everything going well, for now.
Sincerely,
Azrael.

(Also, we should start an RP just between Me and you, using our characters)

@I-make-stuff

(Also, do you have any reference images in terms of body type/eyes/facial structure/etc.? That'd be really helpful. I checked out her character page, and there wasn't anything, so if you could cobble together some pinterest images or something that I could use as references, that'd be sweet. Also, does her scythe have any inscriptions or anything? Is the blade just silvery or is it black? And what's the handle made of?)

Deleted user

(Character: Invalid Character The blade is slivery. Her scythe's blade has the words "you shall reap what you sow" on it. The back of the blade, near the handle, has a skull on it. The handle is made out of wood.)
