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. Write a letter to someone you rarely see or can't for whatever reason see right now, because of distance or maybe personal issues that are more easily addressed on paper anyway. 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!

[ info. quick rundown: legislator/adviser to the Sacred Council and the Senate of his country, a world inspired by Ancient Greece/Rome. manipulative and controlling at worst, charming and charismatic at best. talks a lot of bullshit, but makes it sound good. m/m for shipping, but wide ota for gen. open to canon mashing, multiversal shit and adapting to other canons, if i'm familiar enough with them to do so. assumed cr a-okay. no smut. if you want me to write the starter, just let me know and i'll happily do so. ]

Hello Sarica,

I’ve been able to get myself settled down without much trouble. On your suggestion, I’ve been reading any legal texts I can get my hands on.

You mentioned that you might hold a party in my honor at some point. Would you mind any suggestions from me about how best to go forward - traditions I like, favorite foods, that kind of thing?

Yours sincerely,

Paul Atreides

Paul,

Don't let it inflate your ego too much, but I have had eyes on you since your arrival and have heard from trusted sources that you, at least, did not seem discontent - or I would've intervened. If you've asked around, you will probably have heard the same description of me everywhere: a man of pleasure. My own and others' as well, of course.

If you're not pleased, then neither am I.

As such, although I feel confident I could host a party to your liking, I'm very interested in hearing your suggestions. If nothing else, what I haven't already learned of you, I'll learn this way.

Sincerely,
Sarica

(a gregarious gutterpunk who's adrift and typically blitzed out of his mind. easy to befriend, but prone to obsession and terrible ideas. he has an actual habit of writing letters to kind probation officers and faraway friends. OTA. LiS, cross-canon, OCs, and the medium doesn’t matter. | info )

( modern day ~or I can AU Ben into some earlier era where letters were much more the norm, don't be shy if your character is from pre-digital communication, fantasy, undead, or want to pull off a magic-letters-traveling-through-time-periods-thing or something. bonus points if you're writing from or familiar with Magnus Archives or Genshin Impact or something adjacent, two fave canons currently that would suit this sort of thing. assumed cr or first meets fine, m/m for anything ship-leaning. info + AUs/fave canons for your consideration. )

[TL;DR: Teenage smartass who's great at writing so I'd love to see her exchanging letters with a secret admirer, a long-distance friend or even a teacher/mentor she's too nervous to actually talk to. ]

[itmeanstruth]

[would you be open to high school writing assignment pen pals with another OC?]

[aimlesswonder]

[ Sure! Teenage Guin is a smartass and can get bratty though so just a heads-up. ]

My dearest Percival,

I do hope you are keeping sane in Whitestone. I wish that I could have accompanied you, but rest assured that as soon as I am able, myself and the rest of Vox Machina will reconvene in time for the festival.

My sister sends her regards, as does Trinket. They both have been doing quite well and we all miss you so very much. If anything should arise and you require our help with the rebuilding efforts, please do say the word. You know we will teleport at a moment's notice.

I hope you have been getting some rest and have not been spending every waking hour at the forge. You know Cassandra will tell me if you have, she likes me.

I look forward to hearing from you, and look even more forward to seeing you again. It feels like it has been far too long since I have seen your face, though I know that is just my impatience at work. Be safe, Percival, I will see you again soon.

Yours always,
Vax'ildan

[baron_badass]

My Dearest Vax,

It is good to hear from you. The rebuilding efforts go well and slowly Whitestone is becoming the city it is meant to be.

I miss all of you as well. Please give my love to the others and I hope you are staying safe without me to watch your backs.

Cassandra sends her love and promises she is making sure I eat and rest when I need to. No need to conspire behind my back.

I cannot wait to see all of you again...it has been odd not having you by my side.

Yours,

Percival
