DEAR JACKASS

[dousing]

LETTER WRITING MEME The art of letter writing is so easily lost to us, but here's a chance to recapture it! Your character can write a letter to another here. Whether it turns into a scene from there or you just write letters back and forth ad infinitum doesn't matter: what matters is it starts with something written. Heartfelt or passive-aggressive is your call. • Top level your character. Include any details you might think are relevant. • Reply to other people's top levels! Write them a letter, send them a note, post something on their door, whatever. • Feel free to make it pretty for #aesthetic purposes, but make sure it's all legible or else no one will be able to read it. • Have fun!

[ so. despite constant requests and gentle and - not so gentle coaxing - steve rogers finds himself faced with the same obstacle time and time again. evidently, it's time for more drastic measures. and so, one morning in the fall, a rather formal letter awaits among the usual business mail, the symbol of the avengers to the right ( since when do they have their own stationary, anyway? ) and inside, there is a rather official looking letter. ]

Dear Miss Carter,

It has come to my attention that you have been absent from home for ( 11 ) days over the last ( two ) weeks. This unexplained and unsanctioned leave from those shared evenings constitutes a dereliction of your dinner duties and insubordination.

In order to make do for the time lost, you are required to fill out the attached form and return it in ( 3 ) days time.

This is an official warning concerning this matter. Further unsanctioned absences will result in drastic measures. Please submit a written statement explaining your actions by the next day

Sincerely,

STEVEN GRANT ROGERS,
AVENGERS HEADQUARTERS,
NYC

[ -- since when to the avengers have their own stationary, anyway? peggy reads the letter with growing degrees of indignation. her reply is a simple but effective one.

a courier delivers it shortly after 9am: an envelope, sent by registered mail, with shield's insignia proudly on display. and when steve opens it, he's greeted first with a confetti of shredded paper -- the attached form, presumably.

otherwise, his initial letter is returned to him with red pen marks. miss carter is crossed out in favour of director carter. 11 days gets corrected to 9. dereliction of your dinner duties and insubordination has been aggressively crossed out and i've been doing my damned job!!! is penned in its place.

on the bottom of the letter, in the space left next to his signature, she's scribbled in a note: ]

Haven't you got some nefarious plot to thwart? Or literally anything better to do than gum up my inbox with rubbish like this?

-- P. CARTER

[uprightness]

[ it's like getting a C on a school paper but lord almighty, is he happy with his C and the red pen, too. the next letter comes just before noon, after a training session on two and it is a little thicker.

first, there's a letter, a rather short one, reading: ]

The world is a rather peaceful place these days.

We're training in case it won't be but I still get back in time for dinner.

You're welcome,

- STEVE ROGERS

P.S: leave our eco-system alone. Start using recycled paper for stationary.

[ and then there's the matter of the shredded letter too. in that spirit, the other page ( recycled! ) is an official printed Greenpeace letter reading "100$ WERE DONATED ON YOUR BEHALF".

there's a picture of a rain-forest and a polar-bear, too. ]

[mucked]

[ this poor courier. what's returned is his own letter sent back to him, once again, but with her answer written on the back. ]

Steve,

My work has and always will have certain after-hours requirements. The quicker you come to terms with that fact, the better.

-- P. CARTER

PS, how's this for recycled?

[uprightness]

[ the next one is sent from home, probably, as it includes photos, of all things. the girl from fedex who brings it looks mighty confused as she passes it over. ]

Hey Peggy,

no and no, sorry.

see attachment for further information.

-- SR.

P.S: they're under the sink, drop by and say hello any time.

[ look, he is keen on recycling. he even took pictures of the different bins he keeps, as predicted, under their sink, titled GLASS, PAPER etc etc. ]

[mucked]

[ this poor girl from fedex indeed, 'cause peggy insists she stays at the office while she tears this envelope open. and she tips generously when she convinces her to to immediately return to the same address from whence she came. fedex protocol be damned. ]

I'm not a child. I don't need to be introduced to the bins. You'll start naming them, next.

-- P. CARTER

[ yes. yes, she paid this poor hard-working young woman extra to send back A POST-IT NOTE attached to one of the photographs. yes. ]

[uprightness]

[ Steve finds out the name of the girl who is doing him a huge favor is Laura. She seems rather excited to help once they take three or four selfies. She returns with a little envelop containing a whole series of photos. There's a little note reading JUST IN CASE. SR.

There are also captions on the back of each photo. Things like 'our couch you haven't sat on it for days' 'our kitchen' 'last night's dinner' ( jacket potato with beans ), 'the indoor balcony' and so on. ]

[mucked]

[ poor poor poor laura. peggy puts the girl out of her misery and doesn't deign to sent a hand-written note back. she does, however, see the girl off with a smile (really!) before returning to battle.

this time, she skips the snail mail route altogether. what's the use of these fancy phones if she doesn't put them to work? peggy snaps a photo of her desk, cluttered with piles of paper and file folders.

the caption reads: ] my to-do list. and more piles on for every distraction you offer up.

[uprightness]

[ she makes her threat, he responds almost at once. ]

but i'm in c-town and I keep seeing things you might like.

[ and then a photo ]

how about the bunch of fancy wrapping papers separated from each other by biscuits?

[mucked]

Have you finally resorted to bribing me?

[uprightness]

[ look there's another ]

how about a set of scented bumper cars?

[mucked]

Are you familiar with the sort of hefty punishment and sentencing that goes hand-in-hand with bribing a federal agent?

[uprightness]

[ and yet another ]

*There appears to be a note left on the fridge. It is held up by a magnet with a hot dog on it.

DEAR SANS,

YOUR MOST SPLENDID EFFORT TO PARTAKE MORE FREQUENTLY IN DRINKING MILK HAS BEEN A NOTEWORTHY SUCCESS!!! I HAVE BEEN A GREAT ROLEMODEL!

HOWEVER, I BELIEVE ROOM FOR MORE IMPROVEMENT REMAINS. I NOTICED A LITTLE KETCHUP ON THE EDGE OF THE GLASS AT THE SINK FROM LAST NIGHT. ARE YOU ADDING KETCHUP TO YOUR GLASSES OF MILK?

NYEHFULLY YOURS,

[trombones]

[An hour later, there's another note on a crumpled piece of notebook paper. It's underneath the original note, held up by a fish magnet.]

dear papyrus

yeah

- sans

[straightandmarrow]

[A third note joins the first two in half an hour. This time, with a Mettaton magnet.]

DEAR SANS,

THAT'S REALLY GROSS!

WHY ARE YOU ADDING KETCHUP TO PERFECTLY DELICIOUS, HEALTHY MILK?

CONFUSED,
THE GREAT PAPYRUS

[trombones]

[how do they keep missing each other

there's a fourth note now. it's another mettaton magnet, this one with big anime eyes. papyrus really wanted that magnet pack the last time they went to an mtt concert.]

dear bro,
