A Letter to K'Miriel 09/17/2016 04:08 AM CDT
[Stormwill Tower, Empath Guild]
The Guildmaster's office is decorated in soothing greens and blues, with splashes of gold here and there to add color. A lush white rug covers the stone floor to muffle the echoes caused by the stream of Empaths rushing in to speak with their leader, who sits behind a large mahogany desk covered in ledgers and invoices. Hung on a rod near the stone fireplace is a kettle of lemonroot tea, the Guildmaster's favorite drink.
You also see a gold-etched oaken box labeled "foRk'mirRiEL", Guildleader K'miriel Lystrandoniel, a mahogany door and a renown scroll.
Obvious exits: northeast, southeast, west.

You pat a gold-etched oaken box labeled "foRk'mirRiEL".
You wave to Guildleader K'miriel Lystrandoniel.
You meekly exclaim, "A letter for you, when you have the time to read it!"

...okay, I can't actually put anyone through that without another option. So here is her letter in--more or less--English.

Preference is we continue to post in English on the forums, too.

Let's not do that again.

My congratulations for writing with that style; it had to have been difficult to purposefully misspell so much. Especially as players of a text-based game, we're even more likely to be bothered by poor grammar.

Thank you--it was! Worked on it for a few days; same as she did, I reckon. I was told to email it to the GM for Empaths, but I don't know who that is exactly. Melete? I don't know how to email things. So I posted it here instead. I wish there was an in-character folder that was for things other than conflicts.

I was always going to include the un-Nakorized version if I did email it, but I thought the effort of writing it in-character shouldn't be so easily overshadowed by posting it twice, hence the link as a kind of optional, tucked-away thing for if people didn't have time or didn't want to expend the energy or any other reason. I didn't mean to upset or confuse anyone, or break any kind of forum rules... sorry.

I liked it a lot. For future reference, there is an IN Character Event Discussion option in this events folder as well as an IN Character Fiction (which seems right up your alley) one in the Social Side folder. Personally speaking, if someone is trying to decide on being creative or comfortable I'll always prefer seeing creative. It's just more interesting.
