Dear Pen-pal,
How are you? I am fine, if nothing else bored. I don't enjoy these eggs social gatherings, but being a recluse is hard work.
My name is Marian, I'm from a small plce called Darian, bet you haven’t heard of it. It’s only got about a thousand people.
But where I'm from is irrelevant, where I'm stuck is more important. As of now I'm staying with a millionaire, who, as I mentioned before, is an infamous recluse. He started a scholarship for underprivileged women, and I was entered without my knowledge.
It feels like I'm saying too much, I hope you respond soon.
Are revwar or however you spell that,

Dear Marian Landfair,
Hi, I'm Rachel Mercy. I am good, how about you? So you're staying with a millionaire? That's cool! Please tell me more about yourself!
Sincerely,
Rachel

The same tape

Nathan: Hello again. Just me this time. Mordecai snuck into town to get supplies. Why they don't let me do it, I've no clue. [muttered] Probably because I don't pay, but honestly, whatever. Not like they see me.

Nathan: The whole thing with the Corpiksia sounds super cool. It created 10 people when it made the planet? It's kind of similar to various mythologies of how our own world came into being. Well, not the Earth, but the actual land. I do wonder why only one survived. My immediate assumption would be that Syrid killed them, but it's just an assumption. Also, what is Syrid's 'little pet?'

Nathan: That slapping sound was Mordecai hitting their face because of something I said. It's a common

Nathan: The pause was just a conversation between myself and Mordecai. Didn't realize we were still recording.

Nathan: As for why I'm not in school… [sigh] I'm not sure if I should explain it yet. I should discuss it with Mort. Mordecai isn't in school because they are being targeted by a… [Slightly quieter, like he's thinking aloud] How many did she get again? Only the four have been connected so…[Back to regular voice] They're in hiding for their own safety.

Nathan: I haven't had a favourite for food for a long while. But I think it was Nutella sandwiches. I enjoyed science, in particular, biology. It was simple and interesting. Learning why life works and what it's made of was peaceful. [sigh] I miss it a lot, that peacefulness.

Nathan: As for my greatest dream? I have a few, to be honest.

Nathan: I wish I could reunite with someone I love. I wish Mordecai was safe and going to live. I wish Valerie wasn't a sociopathic bitch. I wish Nadia didn't have to go through all of this. I wish that I was… [Sigh] …Nevermind.

Nathan: Some questions for you guys: What do you do for a living Belynnia? You mentioned archery, and the only thing I can imagine would be a hunter. What does a Firida look like? Are they a legitimate problem there, or more of a nuisance? If you could change one event in your history, what would it be?

Nathan: Now, this might come back to me in the ass later, but do you remember anything Nadia mentioned? Like, a name or a place? Was anyone with her? What did she sound like? Sad? Happy? [Pause for breath] It's important to me, but again, it's okay if you don't remember.

Nathan: It's okay to ask the more probing questions, we just won't always answer them.

Nathan: Anyway, can't wait to hear from you guys.

Attached to the tape is a sticky note. It reads "PS: Love the design on the tape. Does it mean something?"

Dear Allison,
Ohh, I see. I wish you well in your endeavors.
It’s a little strange, since my mom never let me meet anyone else outside of the town we live near, which is a hidden witch town. I’ve always been told to “keep your guard up, don’t give anything away, or else our livelihoods will be in jeopardy,” even when we’re in that town. But Dove says she’s constantly being bullied, and that the adults in her town are extremely suspicious toward her and her grandmother. But that’s only because she’s albino and her grandmother is a Wiccan herbalist. Reed is the only non-magical person I know, and he’s not half bad.
Anyway, thanks, that’s nice of you. I don’t know if this is a weird question or not but what do you look like? Do you have wings? The idea that I’m talking to a person with wings is so cool!
Wishing you well,
Crow

Miss Mercy,
I am well, but soon to be incredulously ill. I have to spend time with Mr Channary, and I do loathe his company.
As for the subject of me, I am an open book I like salt water, men with low voices and all six different preparations of potatoes, and detest corsets and the tomfoolery of eggs trying to make me into bedding.
Instead, I wish to know more about you. Do you like literature or radio? Perhaps neither? I also wish you to beguile me with stories of your homeland, as I used to when I was ̷a̷t̷ ̷s̷e̷a̷ abroad for studies.
Thank you for your response,
Miss Marian Landfair

Dear Crow,
Yes, I have wings. Yes, I can fly. This is what I look like: https://s3.amazonaws.com/notebook-content-uploads/content/uploads/original/a34bd699-4eee-4de1-a171-ee92f449c358.jpg?1578413581
What do you look like? Sorry for not putting enough into the letter.
Sincerely,
Allison.

Dear Miss Marian,
Please, for the love of god, don't call me Miss Mercy. Call me Rachel. What year do you live in? I live in the year 2020. I enjoy watching Youtube and developing video games.
I don't think you want my stories, because they are disturbing. I personally hate men because of what my Father did to me. My sister is part angel, part human. She is friends with someone with a similar way of talking, but she is the Angel of Death. Would you want to write to her instead?
Sincerely,
Rachel

Dear Allison,
Ohh you look gorgeous!
Dove made some doodles of me a while back

She’s really good at capturing my funny faces.
So, you already told me about the stuff you like, so I’d like to know about the stuff you don’t like?
All the best,
Crow
P. S. Yes, that’s my real name

Dear Crow,
You're even prettier than I am, girl!
I hate discrimination of any type, (especially on my species) rapists, pedophiles, and people who eat pizza with pineapple on it. What do you like and dislike? DO you have wings?
Sincerely,
Allison

Miss Rachel,
Your last letter was just the bit of levity I needed. I swear, I got the strangest look from Mr. Channary when I burst into laughter right there in the library!
2,020 years, good one! I nearly busted a rib. And the bit about your sister being an angel? comedic genus!
To speak of your sister, I would very much rather to speak to you, though she does sound an interesting dear.
On topic of your stories, I have heard and experienced far worse than most other men can say. I should like to hear them soon.
And I must apologize for your mistrust of men, I am acquainted with a lot of them, and the vast majority are darlings. Even Mr. Channary, though I do loathe his presence and humor, is a perfect gentleman (not to say he will not act out, just that he has been well-behaved of late)
I hope we can correspond further.
Sincerely,
Miss Marian Landfair

Post-Script; I currently live in the 20th year, to be 21st in July

Dear Marian,
Who said I was joking? My sister is part angel. And no, she isn't the Angel of Death. I actually live in the 21th century.
My broken, beaten path began when I was 14. I was in middle school, 8th grade. I had gotten a bad grade, so as punishment for that, my father raped me. Just because I had gotten a C. My sister was told to go to her room beforehand. This happened every time I got a bad grade, up until i was sixteen. Sophomore year in High School. Allison ginally wanted to know what was happening. She found out. She called the police. My father is on death row now. I hope he gets excuted soon.
Thats my story basically. I never joke around unless I'm with friends or family that I can trust.
Sincerely,
Rachel

Dear Allison,
Hah, no, I only have wings in my crow form. Yeah, discrimination sucks. Sometimes I wish I could be there to punch Dove’s bullies in the face. To be honest, I don’t like my dad that much. The moment I heard him call my mom a ‘hag’, I just… Anyway, I don’t like Mexican food, bugs, math, feeling lonely, and probably other stuff.
Aww, c’mon! Hawaiian is my favorite! I also like some of the Chinese dishes my mom has been making recently. Other than food, I like using a crystal ball to tell the future, playing the piano and singing, a darker sense of humor, my family and Dove, and maybe Reed. Plus I’m bisexual, so I like guys and girls.
If I may, how do non-Halmans usually treat you? I want to understand your situation as a Halman.
Sincerely,
Crow

Dear Crow,
Yesss! Bisexual gang! We bi people need to stick together. In all seriousness, It isn't as big a deal as it was in B.C times, but some Halphobic (Hatred of Halmans/ Hormans) people still wish me deal and want to burn me at the stake. THey still use slurs like "Falman" (the halmanian verison of the n-word) and such. But some Mortals are nice to me.
So tell me more about Reed and Dove.
I also made a drawing for them, Here it is

Enjoy!
Sincerely,
Allison

Dear Allison,
Oh I see. Glad to know it isn’t as bad as in the past. And cool you’re bi too!
I showed them the picture. Dove said it looked cool, like it could be a logo for something. Reed… doesn’t really care for it that much. Any-who~
Dove is my blood sister, which basically means we’re super close and we performed a ritual to make it official (the ritual is also supposed to give you extra powers, but I haven’t noticed anything yet) She’s really short and has wide hips, and she has her hair in a bob cut. She’s also albino, which makes people extremely suspicious of her. I think she’s super cute though. She likes to write and doodle, and she lives with her grandmother in another town. She’s really soft and sweet but a little nihilistic, darker than she seems. I kinda like that about her.
I met Reed a little while ago. He says his parents don’t have a high opinion of witches and want him to stay away from me, so he’s being a little rebel anyway and seeing me sometimes. He also lives in another town, so I’ll fly over and we meet up at his window sill. He has dark skin and hair, which he likes to dye blue. He has a bunch of anime posters and stuff in his room, and he likes to try and sing to anime OPs. Between you and me, he’s a terrible singer. He tells me he has a friend group he likes to hang out and skateboard with too. He’s alright, but we argue a lot about random things, but I think he likes arguing? He’s weird, but cool, y’know?
So, I know you told me angels and mortals having kids n’ stuff used to be taboo, but are other reasons why people hate Halmans? Also, I’d like you to tell me about your friends.
All the best,
Crow

Dear Crow,
No theres no other reason why people hate us, other than the fact that we're competition for the models of this world. Every Halman is a 11/10, something only divine or part-divine beings can do.
Why do people hate your kind, other than sexism, amd ignorance?

Miss Rachel,
That is quite a lot of things to deal with, but I am trying to be a lady and ladies don't discuss such things.
I apologize for your mistrust of me and my like men, but I'm sure that I have done nothing to incur your wrath yet.
As for your sister, how is she an angel and you are not? Either you are a liar or there is something afoot that is quite unsavory.
Lucky for you I don't mind unsavory.

I'm not sure if you care, but things are looking up with my housemate, Mr Channary. Although I'm not sure what his intent with me is. I hope he wishes not to make me bedding, that would be uncomfortable for the both of us.
I suppose you should tell me something of your current life, forgetting the past for a
In my best regards,
Marian

Dear Miss Marian,
We have different mothers, that's how she's part angel and I'm not. I currently live with my sister, until I can find a better place, in a town called Paradox Vortex. We are currently making a game, called Towea. It's hard to do, but it will be worth it. That's really it.
Tell me about your life.
Sincerely,
Rachel
(P.S. I am not a lady, I am a woman. I am trying to upend the patriarchy)
