[DRAGONMAIL: EVERYONE JAMIE KNOWS wait no]
[ To Ravindra, about 10 minutes after the server goes down. Jamie had been debating this and knows nothing about Ravi since he went real but Ravi's the only person he thinks Ferrus might actually open up to. When Ravi gets it, it's been written partially in ink (with a good many scratchthroughs), and then it suddenly swaps to pencil after the first sentence. Jamie, please. ]
Hi,umthsi this is Ferurlfdlgsfdg Ferrus's player.
[ And then pencil. He cannot write Ferrus in a panic, okay. Eraser marks are common. ]
The game we used to control you guys went down and Ferrus wasn't real yet so i dont know if he's going to become real or stop existing or
[ PAUSE ]
[ sorry, ravi, the eraser marks make this part really hard to read (wow Jamie) ] please could you check on him and tell me if he's okay because i'm sorry if this is being a burden but i'mworried confused want him to exist and i don't have anyone else who's his friend that i can ask
please help him if he's okay and he needs it
[ And then the message ends. He sent it without editing it beyond typos or giving it the normal restraint he would - he's tempted to send another message, but fsdgas. That first one was a mental keysmash and he's not sure how to try and iron that over. Please take it well, Ravi??? It's also got his real name, but it's obvious he entirely forgot to write it. The dragon filled it in for him. ]
[ To Siegmund, about an hour after the first one is sent. He panicked, sure, but he had a Crippling Embarrassment Attack over himself after the letter to Ravi.
So Siegmund gets a much more refined letter. In pen. Nice. Neat. He's forcing himself to not panic while he writes it. (It's substantially less messy then any other mail Jamie's sent.) ]
Ferrus is either gone or real.
[ Nothing else. The page is blank. If Siegmund's familiar with Jamie's tendency to worry, this might be... worrying. ]
[ To Ferrus:
Nothing. At all. ]
[ Any replies will probably get ignored for the first few hours or so. Also, new friends Lera and Acher get nothing and herp ]

[comes back to it ten minutes later]
If he doesn't exist, the dragon won't take your letter at all.
You're not really sorry. You expect me to do it anyway, even if it is a burden.
[players!!! trying to control people they didn't even create!]
no subject
No, but...
I don't know what characters do, when we don't control them. But ones that aren't real don't do anything. (Stop existing?) They can still recieve dragonmail.
If Ferrus didn't go real, but still exists as a 'game character', then... he can still recieve mail. It's just he'll never be real, and never be able to answer.
I don't expect you to. I'm sorry.
If you don't want to, don't.
Please don't do something you don't want to on my behalf.
[ He feels REALLY GUILTY for even sending that letter. Stupid, stupid, stupid!!!! ]

[you made the mistake of writing to somebody who has a "hate until convinced otherwise" policy with players]
[players might not be a monolith, but that doesn't mean he can't still judge them as one. he's just a little more willing to cut them some slack if they turn out to not be terrible.]
It's better if you don't write him, anyway. He probably doesn't want to hear from you.
no subject
[ It's okay, Ravi.
You're just making him feel worse about himself.
...But still, you aren't saying anything about not doing it. So he's hopeful. But he won't push. He doesn't want to be a burden. And neither would Ferrus.
...Would he? ]
