[ friday afternoon ]

[ Dragonmail: Rhys Elena ]

[ this letter is a piece of paper folded around a rock half the size of his palm. the rock is orange-red with erratic stripes of a different shades on it and smooth, weathered by the flow of water.

on the paper itself is nothing more than a simple self-doodle of an evelyn head and a star ]


[ Dragonmail: Eileen Wallace ]

[ this letter is also a piece of folded paper -- wait, not just one, but two and three...

inside is a ring made out of a vine and a flower. surprisingly it is wearable. fragile, but not as fragile as one might expect a piece of jewelry made out of plants to be.

on the first paper is a simple doodle of a hand wearing the ring, accompanied by a second hand giving a thumbs up ]


[ Dragonmail: Siegmund ]

[ like eileen's package, siegmund's 'letter' is actually a bunch of papers wrapped around something and tied with a vine.

it's a pair of sunglasses made out of vines and two large sunflowers.

this one has a doodle, too. it's of a gloomy siegmund surrounded by floating :( faces and an arrow pointing to a groovy siegmund wearing the sunflower sunglasses surrounded by stars. ]

Oh, thank you, Evelyn! It's beautiful!

[endofthetale]

You're welcome. Don't be afraid to wear it. It will hold up for a few days, I think! Druid magic!

[feedtherain]

It's too beautiful! I'm worried something horrible will happen to it.

[pentaps]

Maybe I just won't wear it while I'm down in the infirmary.

[endofthetale]

Oh, are you helping healers now? Are there very many sick people? I shall gather flowers for them!

[feedtherain]

I'm training to be one. We hadn't gotten to the healing spells yet, but with Bastan being in the shape it is right now, they need help down there, so...

[endofthetale]

You are a paladin, yes? [ didn't paladins use swords... ]

What's troubling Bastan?

[feedtherain]

Yes.

You haven't heard? It isn't just the sinkhole any more. There's a part of the city on the southwestern side that isn't doing so well. Buildings have been collapsing, there have been earthquakes... It's pretty bad.

[endofthetale]

That's terrible. Is it a volcano? Are citizens being evacuated?

[feedtherain]

No volcanoes, but people are being evacuated, yes. It might turn into another sinkhole, though. From what I've heard, the area isn't particularly stable.

[bloodonthestones]

[...This is so dumb.]

[But it's actually pretty funny.]

[He sends back this:]

[brokencrescendo]

This is pretty.
Where did you find it?

[endofthetale]

In a riverbed. Have you heard of worry stones?

[brokencrescendo]

Well, thanks. [Rhys head doodle with its own star.]

I don't think so. That's what this is?

[endofthetale]

My dad uses one when he's stressed. I have one, too. It's surprisingly soothing.

[brokencrescendo]

I'll be sure to keep it with me.

[endofthetale]

May it save the skin of your knuckles and someone's porcelain face.

[brokencrescendo]

[Oh Evelyn.]

I'm sure it will.
