Letters to the Phantom

[inside_yourmind]

[You may now write letters to the Phantom!

Each of you will find plenty of stationery in the drawers of your vanities, along with candles, a block of sealing wax, and a stamp with your initial on it. You can use these to seal your envelopes in style!

Letters may be dropped into the flap at the Box Office at any time. Replies will appear in your dressing rooms, occasionally quite quickly. Sitting in your room to keep watch won't let you see how they're brought; they'll just appear whenever you happen to leave or fall asleep. Yes, they can be delivered overnight. Probably don't think about it too hard.]

And how do you know that I'm not the magical technowizard?

[Sometime on Sunday, Anne drops the first of her letters into the flap at the Box Office. The seal is neatly done, like she's had practice!]

What were you judged upon, anyway? You never did say. Were you sailed across the water and married to a man who called you Flander's Mare to all of court?

P.S. Thank you for the stationary.

[herwiggles]

Well duh!!

She's on Earth!

[inside_yourmind]

And you're meant to be a faithful tool, waiting for her return?

[herwiggles]

no Maybe?

I mean you! You're not a Gem, probably. So you're a human.

Can humans be phantoms too?

[herwiggles]

I'm not a tool! I'm a friend!

[inside_yourmind]

Yes. It's often used as a metaphor, to indicate someone mysterious or otherwise threatening.

[inside_yourmind]

It's all the same.

You should have tried to use your friendship with a Diamond to gain more power and influence. At least you wouldn't have been stuck in that garden.

[inside_yourmind]

That sounds like an extremely specific set of circumstances that has only happened to one person here, as you are well aware.

I helped someone become a success, and then I was cast aside and abandoned, very nearly killed. As if all my efforts meant nothing.

[herwiggles]

oh

It does a pretty good job

but why do ya wanna be threatning?

[herwiggles]

What? naaaah what do I need with power and 'influence'?

I've got my friend, and our special place, just for us. what more could I want?

[inside_yourmind]

Respect? Other, better friends?

[.....this isn't going to work]

A larger garden?

[inside_yourmind]

You say that as if you do not think I am.

[inside_yourmind]

Then I suppose we are in agreement about her naivete and foolishness. With any luck, that will not get her killed here.

With friends like you, I find her chances slim.

[isawallflower]

See, this is why none of us like you. I'm not going to let Christine get stuck in your twisted plays like Sigyn did.

[ Because...that's what he has to be talking about. Right? ]

[herwiggles]

weeeell that whole trial thingy was pretty threatening near the end

But hey! Maybe you're not so bad under that all. I mean, you're a singing human in a mask!

[herwiggles]

It's already in SPACE

how big does it gotta beOH OH OH

a whole PLANET just for me and Pink! That'd be fun!

[holyspit]

[He doesn't remember that yet and also it seemed like a good idea at the time!]

No, she's definitely very careful! She gets her parents permission for going on missions now and everything!

I'm gonna say up front that I'm still really mad at you and don't like you but also the garden is really nice and I wanted to know if you were the one who planted it.

[If the Phantom is watching them all the time he probably saw Steven go through a whole lot of drafts on this.]

[mcfife]

You could be feigning ignorance, but it would have been obvious from the start.

[Wizards enjoy being obvious. They like showing off whether they are good or evil.]

[inside_yourmind]

That would be fun, wouldn't it?

Now, imagine the kind of things you could get if you were friends with White Diamond, instead.

[inside_yourmind]

Ah, yes, the height of maturity.

[inside_yourmind]

Yes. I planted the elm sapling near the oak, the rosemary bushes, and several of the other flowers.

[holyspit]

Yes, she is, thank you!






That was sarcasm because I do not believe you're being sincere at all about this!

[holyspit]

How are they growing so well without sunlight?

[He does not want to compliment the Phantom about anything right now, but. That's pretty darn amazing.]
