Mailbox: We the Lost

[psycheslantern]

If, for some reason you want to get in touch with Waspfire but don't want to deal with her in person, this would be the place to do it.

Go ahead. Condemn poor Lady Harriet to have to deal with the troubling penguin mailbox.

Two days after bulletin board arguments

[kingroadie]

Yo, Waspfire,

Figured I'd send you a letter after we all had some time to cool off after the bulletin board bullshit. I also figured you'd be like the best person about this. While I ain't getting involved with this tree shit, I know you're gonna at least have a hand in it. You're pretty on the ball about this kinda shit. Makes me glad you're around.

I wanted to tell you, prove Sasha wrong. So it ain't akin to those soup kitchen christmas things. He didn't exactly... come at it right on the board. I don't wanna go deep into it. Ain't my place to dish out how he's feeling about stuff. Most I can say is Lili's thing about plants is just coming up since he misses her.

I believe in you. Make those trees fucking chill out.

- Eddie

[Well. She pretty much had cooled off, until that landed in her mailbox.]

Eddie I say this with the utm()st respect f()r y()u as a pers()n and as Sasha's partner

But h()w I act t()ward the trees has n()thing t() d() with either ()f y()u except in that I w()uld rather n()t see any()ne ar()und here get their cranial hull cracked ()pen by a strategically dr()pped tree limb

I kn()w I wr()te shit in the heat ()f the m()ment but I'm n()t d()ing this t() spite him and I d()n't particularly care whether he eats his w()rds as l()ng as he d()esn't start shit with the f()rest

If y()u're n()t willing t() c()mmit t() a strategy ()f arb()real dipl()macy and respecting the trees' requests, the platitudes ring pretty fucking h()ll()w and y()u sh()uld pr()bably just stay ()ut ()f the way. And ()ut ()f the f()rest, f()r that matter

Not exactly sure how my letter came off to you.

I know it doesn't have anything to do with ether of us. You're acting on your own volition cause you wanna make this place safer. I'm just glad you're working on this shit. I don't really have the energy anymore for anything, so I am genuinely happy you and T are working on this.

Guess everything came off weird. Sorry, not my intention.

When I say good luck, I'm meaning it. I'll stay out of the way. I was planning on doing that anyway, you guys don't need any distractions.

()k but like

Have y()u read the things we've p()sted ()n the b()ard ab()ut what the plants wanted

Because yeah it w()uld have been kind ()f nice t() have had y()u at the listening circle but that marine c()nveyance has disembarked buddy

We are n()w firmly in the "()k this is what we need t() d() t() m()ve f()rward" phase ()f this and if y()u're n()t ()nb()ard with the relatively simple steps ()f n()t destr()ying ()r damaging trees f()r n() reas()n and leaving a few branches ()r twigs behind when y()u need t() take lumber then y()u are actively hindering ()ur pr()gress and damaging ()ur c()llective relati()nship with the f()rest

I d()n't understand why y()u guys are acting like Terezi and I have just c()mmitted t() making bl()()d sacrifices under the new m()()n ()r s()mething and thereby abs()lving every()ne else ()f having t() ackn()wledge anything is g()ing ()n!

[kingroadie]

[A few sentences here and there have been scratched out of the note, but are still legible to some extent.]
I've been keeping tabs, yeah. I didn't go to the circle, but I know. I don't plan on pissing off the trees or anything either.

I also been staying out of everyones way cause i cant do anything i dont know if I can do anything anymore I don't wanna get in the way. I haven't exactly gone around screaming at trees or anything since I got slapped by one.

So, I'll keep staying out of the way.

[psycheslantern]

Eddie. Dude. That's

We're literally just asking that y()u pay attenti()n t() what we already f()und ()ut and n()t antag()nize the trees

That's all we're asking

Maybe pass al()ng a reminder if y()u see s()me()ne else fucking with the trees but m()stly yeah, just n()t gratuit()usly destr()y shit

If y()u are being a teeny bit mindful y()u are helping. If y()u are c()ntinuing t() interact with the f()rest in a way that d()esn't traumatize it y()u are helping

If y()u can't handle n()t ch()pping things d()wn f()r shits and giggles then y()u're being unhelpful and need t() stay ()ut ()f the f()rest bef()re y()u get impaled ()r s()mething because f()r fuckssakes Zephyr already asked me what sad()mas()chism was this m()nth I d()n't want t() have t() explain self-destructive risk seeking behavi()r t()()
