TIMEY WIMEY LETTER PLOT
Greetings, chelonauts! This post marks the beginning of an optional plot proposed by DJ. It's a player-driven plot coinciding with the Chihuelans arriving, taking place all throughout the month of September.
Keeliai is in a state of unrest, due to the drought of the previous month and the tension over the Chihuelan ambassadors. ('Invaders', many kedan will correct you.) For weeks, the kedan equivalent of palm-readers and soothsayers have warned whoever will listen that the Dreaming must eventually act to balance the unrest. So far, there's been no evidence of that. Throughout September, however, Foreigners will notice an interesting little wrinkle.
What happens ICly:
Characters will come across a letter which may or may not be addressed to them. If the character has a mailbox or letter-slot, that's where they'll find it; otherwise, they might find it slipped underneath their door, or rolled up and stuck in an item which is a reliable part of their daily routine. These letters will be wildly different from each other in length, subject matter, and tone, but they'll all share one thing in common: they're all written by a future version of the character who receives them, and they're all - more or less - directed towards the receiver.
What happens OOCly:
You get to write the letter your character receives!
This is an extremely versatile plot. You can choose not to have your character involved at all. You can decide exactly what the letter looks like (handwritten or typeset, for example), exactly what the letter says, and exactly when the letter arrives. You can choose the version of your character who sends the letter. While the sender must be your character, and it must be a future version of your character, they don't necessarily need to be a canonical version of your character. (AUs, anyone?) Likewise, the letter they're writing might not be meant for your character specifically; it might be meant for a completely different universe's version of your character, or it might be meant for your character back when they first arrived in Keeliai. The letter can be as long or as short as you want, and contain whatever information you'd like. It could be a piece of advice, a one-word warning, or pages of poetic prose; it's up to you!
Please use this post as free-range plotting and discussion, or for posting the letters you write if you want to share. (Note that posting the letter is entirely optional, and you're free to handwave it if you'd prefer! This is just to give players an opportunity to share whatever insight they come up with.) If you have any questions, please direct them to the questions comment below.

WELL that solves that then. XD

YEAH I GUESS IT DOES. B-but I'm looking forward to it because I think Anton is the only one with Earth history background who actually really knows how old Cain is, plus what's in the letter...
