Fanmail The Fortieth

[idolpro]

[ Fanmail will be found in big boxes full of letters in the lobby, to be easily found by anyone who's walking by if the box isn't pulled quick enough. Some letters have QR codes, with instructions to scan them with your cell phone's free QR code scanner function. Beyond the letters that are submitted below, you may assume there are more letters in every box if you'd like.

Although bodies of letters may include idol aliases, assume every envelope and package is addressed to or otherwise uses the official idol name of the character.

Letters found in the "Everyone" header may be assumed to be part of every unit's box, most likely with multiple copies of the submission unless otherwise stated.

Characters on hiatus have their fanmail IC saved and stuffed into their mailbox for when they return! They'll be located in this post for easy findings, but don't worry, the fans' feelings will reach the character somehow ;)

Fanmail given to dropped characters will be sent to everyone in the unit, though still labeled with the dropped character's name. You can find these in the "Every Unit" subheader. ]

Dear [✘✘✘✘]

Thanks so much for your letter! Don’t worry, I don’t think there’s really any such thing as doing it right or wrong, haha. In any case, it made me happy to hear from you, so please consider it a success!

I’m sorry to hear the newbie is still stuck in his ways. I wonder if things will get easier with time once his horizons broaden a little. It sounds a little frustrating though, to be sure. I heard pep got another newbie. Have things been any better with that one? How are things going, in general?

Our apartment is great, yeah! It’s nothing amazing, especially compared to any of the unit dorms these days, with all their sprawling additions, but it’s a comfortable size for the three of us, and it’s nice to have a place that actually feels like a home. It also doesn’t have to adhere to any particular aesthetic, which feels like an exciting novelty these days! I’m very happy with everything so far.

The area we’re in is not the most glamorous. It honestly looks like something out of a black and white film noir movie. It’s very moody and dark and a little sketchy, to be honest. A lot of things here seem to exist in both “whole” and “broken” states at once, where someone might look perfectly normal but then they look mortally injured if you see them out of the corner of your eye. Same with items. One of the chairs we got for our living room is in good condition but sometimes it’s rotting and missing a leg if you glance at it the wrong way. It’s pretty trippy at first, but you’d be surprised how fast you can acclimate to this kind of thing when you’re exposed to it enough.

The area we’re in isn’t the place where those who are transferred wind up -- that’s a different hell entirely. But you can travel between the two areas, so when you come I’ll take you to see them both, because they’re both really different. One is loud and obnoxious and busy, and the other is dark and spooky and shady. I think you’ll get a kick out of both of them.

I’m still waiting on your paperwork to go through. I don’t know how long it’s going to take. I’ve tried following up but I haven’t been able to get through. Sorry... I’ll keep trying. In the meantime, here are some photos to tide you over!

Hope everything is going well! I’ll see you soon!

All the best,
Cobalt

[Included in the envelope are a couple of photos, including:]

[A picture of Cobalt and Thorn cooking together in a small kitchen. It looks pretty sparse because they don’t have a ton of household items yet, but they both look happy.]

[A picture of Senpai smoking out the window. The view from the window is several storeys off the ground. The sky is overcast, and the city is cramped and dark and lit up with the glare of various neon signs.]

[A couple of photos of a dark harbor on what looks like a smooth, steel gray ocean(?). It’s hard to tell how far out this body of water extends because it disappears into the mist before reaching the horizon. There’s a huge, black pier that extends out into the water. There aren’t any boats.]

[A dark, lonely train station. There were people in the photo, but everywhere a person should be, the image appears burned through and through. You can only tell there was supposed to be a person there because you can see bits of their shoes, or their shadows.]

[A selfie of Cobalt smiling ear to ear in his apartment. Thorn and Senpai are both asleep on a couch in the background. The room has an overabundance of lamps.]
