Epistolary


It's all text messages and Facebook entries these days, isn't it? Maybe you're from a time or a world where letters are still being written or maybe you're just saying fuck it to your computer and your phone and to the fast paced contact methods of modern day society, instead writing a letter to someone you rarely see or can't for whatever reason see right now, because of distance, if not because of personal issues that are more easily addressed on paper. Come on, you don't need an excuse, just write that damn letter!


How to play -

1. Top-level with your character. Include prefs and the like, if you wish.
2. Others now leave a comment with a letter their character has written yours.
3. Have your character respond, then go tag around as you wish.
4. Be entertained!

Hey Asshole,

Your website says you'll be in Satan's asshole next month. I hate Jersey, but I'd make the trip if you think you'll be free to hang out. ...that feels weird to say when you're fucking forty. We're legit over the hill and I want to "hang out" before your show. Does that make us lame? Wait, I take back that question because I'm actually 100% sure that your response is going to be that it makes me lame and fuck you for that preemptively.

Have you heard from Bev lately? Divorce is finally finalized and she actually pulled it off taking the company away from the son of a bitch. She said she was going to reach out to everybody sometime this week. I think she wants to set up a reunion so she can celebrate her newfound freedom. You should definitely come if I'm right. Good for her, I always thought she'd have been better off with Bill or Ben anyway, you know?

I honestly don't know why I'm writing instead of just sending you a fucking text but I remember we used to write to Ben for a while when he first moved away, back in the day. I kinda like the idea of you getting something in your mailbox that isn't a bill or fucking junk. I like the idea of me getting something back even more, so you know. Keep that in mind.

Anyway, I gotta go. I promised your mom I'd fuck her hard enough that she'd have an excuse to stay in bed for a week. I'll tell her you said hi.

Mrs Strange,

If I am to understand Rumor correctly, I have come across some Evidence of your tangental involvement in magics of this world and Beyond. Magic always leaves traces of itself on those it touches, their Family, and the places they inhabit. Thus, I believe you may have a touch of something stranger than your name.

Courteously, I would ask an audience with you, at the time of your Convenience. I promise it will be painless, and quite likely very Short.

Yr Obt Svt,
J Constantine

Dear Hubie,

Even with everything going on I still find some time to write my upcoming opera. I haven't gotten that far, but I have plenty of ideas swirling inside my head. It's centered around our favorite Emperor. I'm adding you into it of course. How could I leave you out of it? I've already got a few ideas as to what type of person I'd need to be able to pull you off. You'll be one of the hardest to cast without a doubt. I mean that in the best way possible ♥

I will admit I wrote this letter more for me than you, but you'll forgive me, won't you? It wouldn't hurt you to write me back.

Sincerely,
Dorothea

( would you be interested in a thread with this one? her canon takes place in mythical times, but i can easily place her in another era, corresponding to when you want to play hamlet. she's the daughter of a raja, so i was thinking, maybe, an arranged marriage type scenario? open to it both being a romantic union or one of convenience, if you're up for it. i can easily write the starter. )
