[Look who's normal again! Well, as close to normal as she usually is, given her unnatural enthusiasm for the mail, and the pastel-striped outfit she calls a mail uniform.] Greetings and good morning, Marina Asylum. I am the Peregrine Mendicant, post master and mail carrier for the Marina Asylum Postal Service!

I have two announcements. The first: I have revised the rules so anonymous packages will still be allowed, but only if registered with me in person. This is to better guarantee everyone's safety while protecting our privacy!

[Clearing her throat dramatically before giving the camera a toothy but friendly little smile.] Secondly, I am proud to announce the beginning of our pen pal match-up service! It is an excellent way to get to know someone new, to practice your letter-writing skills, and to experience the joys of the post. Please send me your name and address through a private filter if you wish to participate, and you will receive the contact information of your pen pal at the end of the day.

Are there any questions?

[Rose is sitting at a corner of the playground, playing with some building blocks. It might look childish, but she's making a house out of the blocks - and then she knocks off the roof and makes it taller.]

[Finally, she addresses the feed.]

I'm curious, Marina. What sort of dwellings do people in your worlds reside in?

[It's very early and the Britannia household is quiet. Breakfast hasn't even been cooked yet. Soubi tries to be one of the first up. It's easier he thinks, on this arrangement. The shower was always a better way to wake up, but he realizes too late that drying his hair will be troublesome today.

So he uses the towel he just patted himself down with to wring as much of the water out as he can, taking him time, but what he doesn't realize is that the door didn't shut properly when he entered the bathroom.]

{OOC: The first person to walk in will see a lot of skin. Anyone else, assume he's gotten at least partially dressed. Soubi also has a lot of scars, particularly on his back. Whether your character notices them or not is up to you!}

[It's a familiar ritual -- after a satisfying night of drinking, Saki has comparatively little to show for it, having grown a high tolerance to alcohol over the years. The next day, however, is remarkably less fun, and she's curled up somewhere (her bed this time, covered in still ruined blankets and discarded cigarette packs and strewn about clothes), vowing never to drink again.]

[That vow will last all of six hours, maybe.]

[It's the aspirin. She always forgets to take aspirin before going to bed.]

Hey, Defense Force? [Swallows back two aspirin now. She'd filter this if she could think coherently right now, but. Ow.] I've got a question.

Oh...oh my gog! They've got pails and porn in the store!

[Nepeta's found the convenience store's supply of buckets and playing cards. She hasn't even tried opening the card packs, but they've got all four romance suits on them and no pictures of what's inside, so it must be porn! o_o Shocked thirteen-year-old is shocked.]

[It isn't right to keep things from Lyle, but Anew is hoping that she won't be in this situation for long. She's going to tell him... just as soon as the time is right. Which would be after she talks to Neil.]

[A quiet, almost tentative knock on his door announces her -- she might be hoping he isn't here, just a little. The last thing she wants is to cause more sibling problems...]

[Waaaaving to the screen!]

Hello hello!~

I think I've had enough "me" time for a while. Pity it couldn't last forever, hmm?

[Now giggles.]

But I enjoy you all too much to lock myself away for soooo long! Aren't you blessed?

((ooc: Breaking hiatus for a bit while things have calmed down on my end!))
