Pumpkin Hollow Pen-Pal Program


PUMPKIN HOLLOW'S PEN-PAL PROGRAM

Welcome to the Pumpkin Hollow Pen-Pal Program!

-

Letters have been something that has brought people across Concord closer together in spite of great distances. Being cut off from the greater world has not only left people lacking in outlets to write to friends and loved ones they may not have time to see every day, but left our local post office alarmingly dry of service.

That's where you can help!

By joining Marrow Isle's Pen-Pal Program, not only can you assist in revitalizing our postal service and help to keep our couriers on the move, but through our pen-pal lottery, you'll have the potential to write to an acquaintance, an old friend, or perhaps a new friend entirely! Participation in the lottery is entirely optional, of course, as you're always welcome to simply register and write to your current companions.

To participate, all you need to do is provide your mailing address via the form below, and the post office will provide you envelopes, paper, and ink, free of charge! We look forward to seeing new bonds formed through writing!

-Created with love by the Autumn Leaves Dormitory House, graciously hosted by the Marrow Isle Postal Service.

To sign up for a pen-pal, all you have to do is:

  • Create a toplevel for your character that will serve as their pen-pal inbox, filling out the form below! For addresses, you may either the specific address you picked from the reference sheet or just their neighborhood if you haven't picked one.
  • Reply to the Lottery comment to be entered into the lottery before the listed deadline. New lotteries to be assigned a new pen-pal will occur monthly, so feel free to sign up every month, just once, or as desired! (Be sure to have your toplevel comment inbox set up before pen-pals are assigned!)
  • If you do not want a randomly assigned partner, no worries! You can simply have one of your characters send a letter directly to another character's inbox.
  • When you are given your recipient, send them a starting letter in their inbox, and you will receive one from whoever was assigned yours! It will work like Secret Santa, resulting in two letter threads.
  • Letter threads can last as long as you want, but if you sign up again the following month, you'll get two more. Budget your energy appropriately!

[This letter arrives the day after the disastrous gala in September. It shows signs of having been written quickly, though the script is still clear.]

Dr. West,

Please forgive my delay in replying to your letter, and the brevity of this missive as well. Much has happened in the past month, and I have no doubt that the most recent events at Leeds Manor have already come to your attention. It will surely not surprise you to hear that I am deeply troubled, not to say alarmed, by the matters that have come to light -- and by what seems likely to follow on these revelations and the manner of it.

I hesitate to presume on a casual mention, but might I ask you to meet with me directly sometime soon, for tea and conversation? I feel that such things are best discussed face to face. Should you prefer to continue corresponding in writing, however, I will quite happily accept that alternative.

Yours in haste,
Cassandra de Rolo

In lieu of a letter, Neil's next contact comes via sending stone.

"Lady de Rolo? Have I got the right stone? Pardon me if that's a silly question, I'm still getting used to using these."

"Yes -- is this Dr. West speaking?" It's not that she recognizes his voice, but it acts like recognition, the spell identifying the speaker for her.

"That's right, yes. I got your letter, and it seemed silly to wait another day or so to get back to you. Yes, I heard a bit about the gala. I am actually holding a meeting tomorrow for the Ocularum--- I know you've not attended one prior, but I'd be glad to invite you."

"Oh -- yes, I should be very pleased to attend, thank you. Where do you meet?"
itsjustabaddream: (oh uh well ysee the thing is)

"My in-home business in Northwest Hollow," Neil tells her. "The same address where you've sent my letters. The sign outside will say 'West Dream Analytics.'"

"Thank you. What time should I plan to arrive? And is there anything else I should know?"
