[ Backdated to about this period. ]

I was told to contact you by the girl who wanted her phone's power converted?

She said we could collaborate.

[ still slightly nervous at sending this, but alchemist!Jamie is organizing his thoughts well enough here to not feel nervous about it... ]

[Sunday morning. He slept very early Saturday night and didn't want to break Shabbat by writing (Siegmund you already broke it by going to war--shut up)]

[Dragonmail: Sardonyx]

Alive. Unhurt.

Your potions helped, thank you.


[Dragonmail: Jamie Howard]

Alive, unhurt.


[and after some consideration...]

[Dragonmail: Chisaki Andrews]

Earthers need to look out for each other, so I guess I should tell you I made it out of the "War of the Ring" alive.

[Dragonmail: Eileen Wallace]

You were part of the mission, yes? You made it out okay?

[Dragonmail: Sardonyx + Jamie Howard]

[Sent Friday morning, they both get a copy of the same letter]

We go into battle tonight. If I don't write by Sunday, send something to see if I'm dead.

[ username: thrdqn ]

looking for an alchemist to convert an earth phone's power source to the power source of zenderael's tablets

familiarity with tablets/earth tech a must

[ Sent Friday evening, an hour or two before midnight. Jamie's keeping poor time schedules (this may or may not be Harriet's fault) and he just heard the news of what's going down in Bastan.

There's no way Siegmund would be there, but...

He wants to check. ]

Are you okay?

[ TO SIEGMUND HEISSENRECH:

Shortly after this part of the thread with Harriet ]

I sort of need a recommendation for something. Just vouching for my sanity and ability to be trusted with dangerous powers.

Do you mind writing me one?

[ Siegmund you're the only person he could ask who he'd be okay with telling what the hell's going on

Please give him a recommendation...

he could contact his sibling but ha ha no ]

[ TO THE KHSHATHRA:

He mails along Siegmund's letter of recommendation and an essay an hour after he got the recommendation letter. It's probably a rehashed college essay... :Ic In any case, it's pretty nice, although it does confess he has very few dreams. (In reality, he has a few he's not stating. One of which being HAVING FRIENDSSSSSSSS sob.) He has tacked on and edited in places, though! So it's totally accurate. ]

Here you go. One reccomendation and essay.

I have a question for everyone.

If you're not in a guild, which one would you want to join and why?

And if you are in a guild, which is it and what do you like about it?

[ 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'm worried 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 ]

Testing, testing~

[Those being observant and/or constantly refreshing the forums will note that the latter chunk of this post was added in shortly after. If not, he didn't remove the "testing" part above, so that's still there.]

Oh, so this works! How wonderful! I assume this is this "internet" I've been hearing so much about? This is so exciting! I've wanted to see how it worked, but apparently the specifics are a bit beyond me. Some sort of magical/alchemical thing.

I think introductions are in order. My name is Nayan. Some of you may have heard of me, some of you may not. If you haven't, well, you'll certainly be seeing a lot more of me.

Now... who are all of you? Most of you would be players, I'm assuming, yes?

[ Sent sometime around noon, Sunday. Jamie had trouble getting to the post office until he was out of the hospital. He was just glad he hadn't caught anything dangerous. Stunted immune systems sucked. ]

Sorry for the wait, something happened when I went to get the stamps.

Do you need any specific potions beyond what I sent? Sorry, I forgot to ask when I offered.
