[At first, one might assume PM sounds perfectly calm. But if the listener has a good ear, they may pick up that it is that razor-thin sort of calm that comes from being in a lot of pain, and possibly shock.]

Greetings. This is PM. We have a post office again. [A pause.] It is in Sector 2, but it will not be ready for business until tomorrow.

[There's another pause.] Does anyone know where the hospital is located?

	Oh, of course not. If anything stopped the mail, proper civilization wouldn't even work. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Then I'm glad to hear nothing serious has happened. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That is why you are a good boy, Dirk. You care about the machinations of society. Where in Sector 5 is it? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Now that he hasn't memorized; he returns to the map, finds the location, and reads it off to her. Then, ] We don't have mail where I'm from. If I'm still stuck here tomorrow, I look forward to seeing how the process works. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	promoted_pawn 2012-07-11 01:34 am UTC (link)
	Yes, absolutely. Tomorrow I will have an open house. You will be invited. If you have not left, I mean. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Sounds like she's pretty sure she's all right. He won't pry, then. ] See you then. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yes! In a manner. [She hangs up.] (Reply to this) (Parent)

	[---and then it catches up to her.] [Voice] You don't have mail?! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	smuppeteer 2012-07-11 01:45 am UTC (link)
	[ It's so sudden he almost laughs. Almost. ] No. It's a long story and I'm not going to keep you away from timely medical care. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Talking to you does not prevent me from going to the hospital, you silly boy. And besides, this is important. You've never gotten a letter? Or a parcel? This is terrible. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	smuppeteer 2012-07-11 01:48 am UTC (link)
	I haven't. I've sent emails, though. That strikes me as faster and more efficient, anyway. [ No, Dirk. You know not to whom you speak. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

What- no! I mean, e-mails have a place, but-

There is no replacing the elegance of a well-written letter! The smell of the paper, the feel of the envelope in your hands, the gentle weight of a well-balanced care package.

An e-mail does not provide the excitement and mystery of opening a letter from a friend, of discovering new thoughts and ideas in such a simple and humble form!

	[ This may be a voice call, but he's just staring blankly. ] Is this like a fetish thing for you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	promoted_pawn 2012-07-11 01:59 am UTC (link)
	What. [She may be injured and in pain, but she can take a moment to be insulted ~~and a little embarrassed~~] You're related to Dave, aren't you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	smuppeteer 2012-07-11 02:02 am UTC (link)
	In a manner of speaking, yes. Why? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	promoted_pawn 2012-07-11 02:03 am UTC (link)
	Nothing! Never mind! Forget about it! And for your information, it is absolutely nothing scandalous at all! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	smuppeteer 2012-07-11 02:15 am UTC (link)
	Okay. You're just passionate about your work, I can respect that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	promoted_pawn 2012-07-11 02:16 am UTC (link)
	[She's calming down now. Especially since he didn't start insinuating things about envelopes.] Good, you understand. Thank you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	smuppeteer 2012-07-11 02:20 am UTC (link)
	[ Papercuts in sensitive areas are a serious do not want. ] No, I respect it. There's a difference. Maybe one day I'll understand, if I have the misfortune of growing old and grey here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	promoted_pawn 2012-07-11 02:23 am UTC (link)
	Oh. [She pauses.] Well, respect is still important. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	smuppeteer 2012-07-11 02:47 am UTC (link)
	So what's a monarch doing delivering mail? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	promoted_pawn 2012-07-11 03:04 am UTC (link)
	We all need hobbies, Dirk. I very well don't have a kingdom to rule while in prison. And it's an important job, as well. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Oddly, what occurs to him is what a stark contrast there is between PM and the queen of Derse -- impostor though the latter is. A ruler who actually cares about her people and the society they live in, down to the minutiae like the goddamn postal service. ] Good luck with it. And with that scratch you're headed to the hospital for. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	promoted_pawn 2012-07-11 04:36 pm UTC (link)
	[PM would argue this also applies to the actual Queen of Derse if she could read narration brackets. Because she is so rude and a little scary.] Thank you, Dirk. I am sure that I will be just fine. (Reply to this) (Parent)
