Decadent Delights, Sunday evening
Two more letters were delivered to the shop, sliding in through the small slot in the door. The delivery man looked annoyed, but since he'd gotten extra pay to deliver them on a Sunday, he didn't feel as annoyed as he looked. Still, he was late because he'd almost forgotten about them, hence the running back to the rickshaw so he could return to the mainland. He had a date, which was enough reason to hurry, but he'd also been told weird things about this island and he didn't want to be here if it suddenly disappeared-- again.
The first letter was a little ragged, and while the envelope was blue, it still had pink hearts on it, and held a distinct hint of perfume. It read:
Dear Karla and Raven,
I know, I know, it's June and I haven't called yet. You would not believe where I've been. The date 1776 probably doesn't mean much to either of you, but it's pretty important. That's the year the United States declared its independence from England. Big stuff and a big war.
This is the first time I've ever tried to make a war happen. Ares stole some of my obsession perfume (worse stuff than the Puck disaster, Karla) and used it to make the founding fathers go nuts over a woman. Just like a man, really. But, I changed it around on him, made a few British officers fall for her and kidnap her, and the founding fathers were mad and the war still happened, so nyeah, Ares! (Don't feel too sorry for the woman, since she's the one that gave the guys the obsession stuff in the first place. She was so working for my brother.)
I'm not sure what's going on, or when I'll be back to Fandom. There's more trouble, and this time Cupid's coming with me. Bliss will have to hold things together in the present because Ares has come up with a plan to stop William the Conqueror, and that would change history in a big way. I have no idea what he's playing at, but I need to stop him.
Wish me luck, and I'll talk to you both as soon as I can. (Bliss says hi!)
Love,
Me
The second letter was in a green envelope, and there were hearts of blue (because pink and green clashed, obviously). This letter was less tattered, but had obviously been handled more often than the other. There were smudges on the envelope flap that looked like fingerprints, and it was slightly wrinkled in places, almost as if someone had tried to open it, and failed.
Dear Raven and Karla,
I'm putting a spell on this envelope so that only the two of you can open it. I think someone's been swiping my letters and reading them, and the only one I can think of that would do that is Ares. I'm still trying to track him down and stop his silly history schemes. Bliss said things are weird in our time, though, so I'm going to spend some time there before I head off to whatever time Ares is playing with next. I wish he'd stop with the time thing, it's totally throwing off my sense of fashion. I almost wore an 18th century bustle to a banquet in the 11th century! How ridiculous would that have loooked?
Anyway, William the Conqueror invaded England right on schedule and united the whole of England. He and his wife (who was a regular firecracker, really) had their sons and things happened as they were supposed to.
It's late June now and I'm joining Bliss in Egypt for a little while. He's trying to figure out why Ares has been there so much. I'm just hoping to stay in the present for a little while. This is the present, right? I'm so time tired I don't remember.
Anyway, I hope things are well with you, and if you need me you can call.
Oh, hey, if you happen to speak to Dinah, tell her I said hi and I miss her, would you? I miss both of you as well.
Kisses and hugs,
Me
The second letter was posted from Alexandria, Egypt. If one looked closely they'd see some symbols at the bottom of the page -- a cartouche on the first line, then a second with a tiny bird, a leaf or feather, and a lion. The third line had what looked like an egg on its side, then another leaf, a lopsided and upside down 'u', and another bird that vaguely resembled a vulture.
If anyone was checking, there was also a heavy feeling of magic about the second letter. And maybe a hint of blood.
OOC: NFI, NFB. The goddess will return this week.
