I guess your all settled in and stuff now. Got your wish or whatever.
I dunno if you can write back so i wont ask about what your office is like, but I kinda wanna know what your office is like. I hope your having a good time with the work and that no one's being a dick.
Take care ok? We're thinking about u back here. It ain't the same without you.
Somehow I feel as if we've become closer since you left, how strange. But it is easier to focus on making it count if I only have a moment to speak with you, and more comfortable to take my time to write. So you have asked for updates and I suppose I'll be overly honest. Congratulations.
You should know [THE BOY] and [ZALERA] are the ones who will be marrying, do [MATEUS THE CORRUPT] and I seem the types to even consider it? [THE BOY] certainly seems bent on it, we were married in his dream world apparently, and he tried to convince me of its merits while drunk a little while ago. Frankly it just isn't something I understand, particularly if it isn't a traditional, monogamous sort of situation. Even more importantly, that is not really the nature of our relationship. Or at least it wasn't, I'm not so sure now. I didn't think either of us did "romance", but that doesn't seem to be the case all of a sudden. As dearly as I love him, it is a bit distressing and confusing. But I suppose that means you'll be glad to know we are doing well and becoming more "lovey-dovey" than ever. Suddenly I'm glad you're not here to tease me.
But do keep an eye out for something to tease him with. I've given him an ornament from my sword which he has claimed he will wear in his hair daily. Embarrassing enough to begin with, but that sword contains my soul. Please only use this information to mock him and not me. Sorry we hardly leave dorms so you couldn't see his reaction, I promise it was very charming. You see, overly honest.
As for my family, is that really a good thing? You all must be enjoying watching us fight. Great. But I suppose I don't mind that too much, it's the one thing we are very good at. And truthfully I was worried about him, even if he is an ass. My son is as endearing as ever, however, it has been nice to be more or less getting along. I would not have thought that possible at the start.
Now I've talked at length about embarrassing things, so do return the favour. Did you and [THE DIVINE DRAGON, MATRIARCH OF THE MOONLIT KINGDOM] marry? At least, I assume that's what you mean. Somehow I didn't realise, congratulations. Tell me all about it, or at least imagine I am giving my best attempt at teasing you about it, though I doubt anyone can manage that.
[FOOL'S GOLD] sent a letter as well, it sounds like he's doing well. He managed to find his girlfriend and is living with her. After a harrowing adventure looking for her in an unfamiliar city. I have enclosed a copy of the photo he sent.
Taking care, write and visit again soon.
[POWERTHIRST]
[and there is indeed a copy of a selfie photo of Wifi and Silence along with the letter.]
It was very good to see you again, brief though it was! I had been told it was likely that people who had graduated would be back soon enough for a game, so that was certainly a pleasant surprise.
I'm still getting to know the newer BARiTONES in addition to settling back into things. Things have definitely changed in ways I wasn't expecting, but it's a good change, I feel.
As for friends...I wouldn't say I've made any new ones, but [TOTAL ECLIPSE OF THE HEART] returned while I was away and has stopped by and kept me company during a particular hard memory. I am making more of an effort to interact with people outside of BARiTONES this time around, but I'm not sure how it will go since it's been easy games recently. I'd apparently just missed the slew of bad ones...
Either way, I'm very glad to hear from you! And I look forward to seeing you or your letters again!
Continuing to hope for your happiness as well, [THE MILLENNIUM EARL]
I have forwarded your letter. As much as I would like to grumble about being the delivery service, I was charmed to hold such an honor. I'm sure you are more than delighted at my duplicity.
Gossip? Do you not see and hear all? Though we are ones to stick within our dorm as fanciful as we made it. [THE BOY] has not only two brothers here now, but seems to have finally patched things up with [CARDIGAN]. Between him, [MATEUS THE CORRUPT] and [POWERTHIRST] my time is spread quite thin so I'm afraid I'm lacking in gossip. Old and younger, these three seem to always be on the move, but at least they acknowledge the benefits of a good night's rest.
[CRESCENT RISE] has returned and I'm glad for it. I was worried for [HIS MAJESTY THE EMPEROR] but all seems to be working out. And I have been watching out for him as I am able, but he truly just needs a friend. I do believe you figured that fact our long before any of us.
I will keep you updated as I am able. Do take care of [THE DIVINE DRAGON, MATRIARCH OF THE MOONLIT KINGDOM] though of that I have no doubts.
The holidays were pretty good. We did a party, and B and Angel did another one, so it was a bunch of visiting people and presents and stuff, which was just kind of chill and fun. Do you guys do a winter holiday in hell proper? I guess it probly ain't Christmas, huh, cause of JC and all.
The mistletoe game was pretty fun, too [about a sentence and a half has been scribbled out here] and they kinda went all-out with the decor again. It looked real good!
From your last letter, it sounds like you been watching the show some, too, so you probly got to see.
I'm good on romance stuff, but thanks for offering. (Unless I super screwed something up or something? I didn't liek super screw nothing up, right??)
Anyways, hope you ain't spending too much time at work. Take it easy some, too, okay?
You know it! Although I guess you wouldn't have seen any of the parties in the dorms, huh?
[The rest is in a flowing script, although it's still a little rigid here and there, he's good but it's still not something he's used to.]
I've been well - did you know? We've been upgrading the dorm to have all kinds of fun new features, like a whole bunch of games and a whole arena for fake gun games. We even have a whole forest with a tree house and rope course. Lots of stuff to keep us occupied, you know?
Thanks for the letter! [BLADE]
[He... he doesn't know the words for video game arcade or laser tag.]
I'm going to have to break it to you that I'm not exactly very good with this type of communication sooner or later, so why not now. I'm afraid I don't have any real juicy gossip to share but I did want to thank you for your thoughtful letters.
I miss you.
And being able to hear from you does make that a little easy. Things are going slightly better than I ever expected but on the other hand I might be dead. Though you might have seen that in a broadcast.
My relationship with Lahabrea has moved toward an unexpected turn but please if you saw anything pretend you didn't and that this is coming off as a shock to you.
I guess that counts as gossip.
I'll hope to see you soon.
It's The Boy.

[Do you mean did she send a message as soon as the app appeared without any familiarity with Tokyo Tower or how this works and is probably not in the receiving area but instead trying to understand how these weirdly flat floppy things called 'crepes' are supposed to work?

Re: around 336 now that there's a magical graduate meeting zone
How you been? It's been ral nice getting to se you, the couple times you came to visit. I don't think I mentoned that, but I like super mean it. I'm really glad to hear stuff's going good for you so far. I know you're kicking butt and taking names, so fingers crossed stuff keeps coming up Paloma.
You settling in okay? How's work? Your office got another five plants or whatever?
Next time you come visit, you mind giving me a heads up? I been doing like a bunch of fancy puddings and stuff lately. There's gonna be some kinda sweets appreciation club, and I joined, so I gotta step up my game some. If you don't mind testing stuff out and letting me know if it's any good, I'd love to make you some stuff. (Lbr, I'd love making you stuff anyways, but bonus if you give me feedback) Send requests if you got em!
Can I assume you've been watching all the latest, or are you too busy getting promotions? Actually, Left keeps bragging about his promotions. Have you scored more than him yet? If he can do it, it sounds like it can't really be too hard to do, especially for someone as driven as you.

Hey dude,
It was real good seeing you again, and your game was real fun. Fingers crossed you can come visit again sometime soon!
How's life treating you out in hell proper? What's your job like?

Take care, ok? Hope we'll see you soon!
