interest check

[benedicus]

Hello, everyone!

I am not sure the right way to go about this, but there was previously some talk about establishing an ic postal service for characters to be able to exchange physical letters between one another. A lot has happened since that was proposed, not all of those characters are still in game, and I...also… went on an unplanned semihiatus for a hot second. (Man, things happen so much sometimes.)

The post will be intended for exactly what you imagine; sending mail and packages around the city.

And yeah, there will be uniforms involved. Because I mean like that's part of the fun.


So, please consider this an official interest check for the snail mail:

1.) Would your character have use for the postal system?
2.) Would your character want to assist with the post?

Alternatively, if you have any suggestions or questions, please let me know.

Someone needs to send a cursed chain letter out. Mysterious unmarked envelopes, if you don't forward this to X people in Y days Baldo the Clown will come and bite your dick off, etc.

[benedicus]

I would be deeply disappointed if someone doesn't. Baldo needs attention too.

[laidtocrest]

Challenge accepted, but also, consider: cooler heads prevail, everyone realizes that Baldo doesn't exist, and then someone apps in Kefka or the One Piece tumblr clown and everyone's going OH FUCK THE DICK-EATING CLOWN IS HERE

THE MAN'S NAME IS BUGGY, YOU SCOUNDREL.

Yes; he would absolutely use it to send Aziraphale ridiculously flowery letters bc he knows the angel longs for the days of 19th century epistolary.

Also yes but he will complain about it the whole time (so you know he's having fun). Let this demon work out the most efficient daily routes he's such a nerd and he'd be so good at it

[benedicus]

SIGH, unfortunately yeah. Crowley always has his number.

Great though. Knew I could always count on help from an infernal source. >:3

[inlovewithmycar]

let's be real, even if crowley was pretending to be on his phone, he was absolutely hanging on aziraphale's every word when the angel bemoaned the move to e-mail as the digital age descended on them. he knows. there will be fancy envelopes. there will be stamps. there may even be perfume or cologne.

1. Midnight shouldn't, seeing as how he lived in a relatively digital age, but now I'm thinking about him jumpscaring people with bouquets and chocolates and, like, perfumed letters. Absolutely pathetic. He would do that.
2. He was actually helping out with map routing and volunteered to run at least one of them! (I think Don may have been the other runner involved.) He'd be happy to take up mail running duties again... on top of... the bookstore... and the diner... look, working is how he copes

[benedicus]

That makes me feel like singing telegrams should be a thing. Who wouldn't love that? No one and they're lying if they try to say otherwise—

I hope you can handle all these jobs (although lbr this one won't be too intensive), Midnight, but he truly sounds like a great candidate to help since he's been working on map routing. And I would love to have him.

[unrequite]

yes + no one let midnight know that kissograms are a thing please, he's already enough of a menace

He can handle it! He's a comic relief character, this gives him immunity to long term consequences (no it doesn't). He'll be very cheerful about the whole thing!

[icanfixer]

yes don was the other runner SHE'LL BE HAPPY TO HELP let her stretch her legs... also because letters are soooo romantic (era) and she'll certainly have a fun time using it

[benedicus]

pounds fist!! yes, good!! i wanted another reason to put my grimy hands all over you.

[icanfixer]

PLEAAAAAAASE IT'S GONNA BE SO FUN!!!

[unrequite]

these two having matching post uniforms is so funny. i vote it looks cute on don and sort of stupid on midnight. twinning!!!

[icanfixer]

twinning!!!!!!! they can have gentlemen duels over who gets to deliver mail to gebura, or trade off on it

[unrequite]

honestly midnight would take the duels... not because he thinks he'll win, he just knows that he needs the practice LMAO.

also i don't know how much mail gebura will get so they should definitely send fanmail to her all the time so she feels loved 👍
