The Letters From The Past Or Future Meme

Remember the Magical Time Machine Mailbox from the movie 'The Lake House'?

Yes, it's like that - Now, your characters live in different times/eras from each other, and are recieving letters (Or E-mails, or Vid-mails, etc) from the future or the past!

[How To]

1. Post as your character. (Please write down the name and canon/fandom of the character in the subject line, and also if they're canon, AU, crossover or OC, etc. Please also write down preferences, scenarios, etc in the comment box)

2. Another character tags yours. Congrats, now your character is communicating from somebody from their past or future!

3. Thread, tag and have fun!

[Sample Scenarios]

1. Romance over the ages

2. Somebody is trying to warn somebody of something that will go wrong in their future.

3. Dear God, is that your long dead (in your time) father on the phone there?

4. You can fly in the future? Massive cultral shock is the theme here.

5. Something Else

[What is the gadget that connects the past and the future?]

1. Letters (Or a Magical Mailbox)

2. Texts/E-mail

3. The Telephone

4. A Mobile Phone

5. A Computer/Tablet of any kind

6. A Magical Artifact

7. Something Else

[How many years are the two characters separated by?]

2. 1 to 5 years

3. 5 to 10 years

[Claudia's computer had been acting funny all day. From randomly turning off to odd graphic effects. Now it was finally time for the crux of it all. A man in a Trilby hat appearing on the screen with no definable program. He had a pleased but serious look on his face.]

Hello? Can you hear me?

Canonmates are love, but I'm open to anyone who wants a crooked psy-vamp!

If Muraki were to see his mail, he may find a letter addressed from Berlin, written in a familar penmenship. The letter at least two years early.

Muraki-san,

I'm in the city now and I'm keeping my promise to write to you during this year abroad. You told me how much you loved being in Britain in your college years, and I'm hoping my time in Europe will be the same. Berlin is a beautiful city in it's own ways, it's unshamefulness. I'm secretly hoping people won't stare at me as much as they do at home. I do think I look more European. (Although people will still stare at the white hair.)

With love,
Jita

Awwww. :: pets her::

[ one day, Alois Trancy gets a letter. there is nothing remarkable about the envelope, and no proper seal on it to speak of. the handwriting isn't what one would call elegant, but it is neat and clear, black ink on white paper, though there are only a few words. ]

It takes centuries for a demon to starve to death.

Did you know that?

[ it isn't signed. ]

No ships, and just assume Balder has whatever communication device you like.

[There were solar flares. Unexpected solar flares, and she and her team are stuck on an ice planet, struggling to get some sort of connection. They're running out of supplies, they need to be beamed up as soon as possible, but nothing but static. Finally, she starts to get through.]
