//i have a hunch on who this might be, but just to make sure... //rewind? more like reload

//you are absolutely correct (well, mostly anyway) *snaps fingers* it’s rewind time!//

A video is attached, take a watch?

A creature of entangled limbs, holding up a mask. The camera shakes, you can hear the sound of heavy breathing.

A deep intake, the footage straightens, you hear a small click.

“Pe… so… na…”

A gunshot followed by the sound of shattering glass, right before the video cuts off.

⏮️ (rewind)!

//guys, thanks a lot for sending these in. It’s very much appreciated//

A video is attached, would you like to take a look?

It shows someone buying a canned drink from a vending machine. The drink appears to be labeled “Cielo Mist”

[the-random-mail-service]

⏮️ rewind time!

//another one??? :0//

A video is attached, would you like to watch?

A cream shiba inu lies contentedly in someone lap. Said person giving the dozing dog gentle pets and scritches.

That’s literally the entire video. It lasts a good 30 minutes.

[the-random-mail-service]

//hehe you were WRONG!

⏮️

//O.O I certainly was. I really didn’t expect anyone up here to be interested in the weirdness going on in the random mail service, but you guys have asked, and I shall deliver 🫡//

A video is attached, would you like to watch?

An empty city at night, washed over with an eerie shade of green.

The soft thud of shoes passing over concrete. Dark puddles of murky liquid pool along the pavement, its contents hard to make out. The camera pans up, looking to a moon shining brightly over the city.

The video cuts off.

[the-random-mail-service]

Ooc post! Just thought this would be fun given how I haven’t revealed much of anything on this blog.

Then again I doubt anyone would be interacting with this :,)

//new ask game!

specify muse for multimuse blogs, and remember to send an ask to the person you reblog from :)

You've got mail !

From Lotus : it's a box, when you open it a spring thrusted pie jumps out of it aiming at the face, under the spring, a note saying

"Thanks for the gift, I hope you like mine too, it's a house speciality, an citrus berry pie made with love, don't waste it"

What the he—

Urgh

Wow… this day is going… great.

I wonder if I could shove this back into the box and mail it to the mail department.

[ A voice recording is attached, take a listen?]

“Say, did you send the voice recording?”

A tired sigh.

“No, why would I be sending out recordings of our conversations? Why would I even be recording those?”

“But if I didn’t send them out and you didn’t either then… who’s sending the recordings out? Aren’t we the only two people in the room?”

“Supposedly we are, and I don’t know.”

“Do you not care?”

“When do I care?”

“…”

An exasperated sigh, followed by the sound of footsteps walking away. Slight shuffling at a desk follows, followed by a tired sigh, clearly from a different person.

“And even if I did care, what is there to do? This room’s literally an empty void.”

[the-random-mail-service]

Oh, so does this mean we don’t have an ip address? Oh well…

Hey wait is that a voice recording from our own blog?

Pelipper mail! It’s from @the-random-mail-service

A lotus root

Haha real funny, Biscuit find their IP adress

*sounds of a goomy stepping on keyboard*

[a voice recording is attached, take a listen?]

Click

“Say, do we even have an ip address?”

“Hmm… that’s a good question. Is this thing even linked to anything? And even if they do find an ip address would it be linked to us or the mail room?”

“Hmmmm…”

“Mm? Did mail just get sent out?”

“Huh,” a pause. “I suppose so.”

“It’s been quiet for a while hasn’t it?”

“Yeah.”

“What do y-“

The audio gets cut off

Click

“Finally! The social media room! Home sweet home!”

“Home… you call this home?”

“I mean yea, we live here right?”

A pause.

“Wait… have we… have we always lived here?”

Another pause.

“… why does something feel missing?”

More silence.

“Why aren’t you saying anything?!”

“I don’t know Ko,” the other voice finally replies. “I don’t know.”

A sigh.

Ooc repost

This, yes this. You don’t need to reply to any of the random mail sent if you don’t want to. Also if I do cross any lines please reach out! I wouldn’t know what you wouldn’t want me to send you unless you state it somewhere.

but also, if you’re not planning to use the service anymore please consider unsubscribing (using ooc, not ic) because I already have many blogs to send mail to Xd. You can always resubscribe later if you change your mind!

Saying No

Okay so a conversation in a discord server inspired me to make this.

You guys can say no to things. You do not always have to "Yes And" everything that comes to you.

Like. Usually when we talk about rping, we talk about saying yes and. continuing on the scene, not shutting interaction down. We're pretty lucky with how this rp stuff works where in character denying and saying no CAN work a lot better than in standard improv without fully stopping the scene and kinda shutting it down, but that's not what I'm talking about.

I've seen a lot of people who kinda. Accidentally start god modding or kinda burst their way into plotlines without asking and like. This is public rp! Anyone can join! But there is a certain degree where you gotta stop first and ask or just not say it.

But sometimes people do not think first and just do. Maybe sending a magic anon that solves all of your oc's problems. Maybe they have dimension hopping powers and are like "Don't worry! I've come to your reality and I can help you get away from your problems instantly!", maybe your character really wants a mega stone and you have plans to have a whole thing about them working to get this mega stone and learning to mega evolving their partner and then someone mystery gifts or pelipper mails the item to you immediatly.

You don't have to "Yes, and" that. You can just say "No, you didn't do that". You are allowed to say no when someone crosses your boundaries and is affecting your plot.

Is someone trying to involve you in their plot without asking? "That is not happening in my character's universe" Is someone trying to say they're just there at a crucial event with your character when they never asked? "Your character is not able to be there. Please delete that post".

Yes And only goes so far. There is a time and a place where you will need to say No, and that is just as important to RP as going with the flow! If someone's fucking with your plot, its your job to tell them to stop. People can get involved, sure, but sometimes people try and get way more involved than what you're comfortable and its okay to tell them to back off.

I've also seen people feel that stuff like Muse Mixup Madness or Pelipper Mail are mandatory things they HAVE to do? You don't! You don't need to do anything even if others are! So I guess this is your reminder that you can ignore pelipper mail and magic anons and just asks in general that you dont like! you can turn pelipper mail and magic anons off completely! you can ignore peoples replies to your posts if they fuck with what you have going on. you can tell people they did not do things that would fuck with your characters and story. you can just not do muse mixup madness when it rolls around. you can just not do follower special events. you don't have to participate in anything you dont want, and you dont have to allow people to do whatever even if it makes you uncomfortable.

Other people can do what they want, but you have a right to say no when they try to involve you.

“I think we should head back” it’s the monotonous guy talking, but they seem uneasy.

“…maybe you’re right, I don’t like this. We’ve been walking in the void for who knows how long and we still haven’t found the mail room.”

“Yea… and…” a pause.

“…And what?”

“…never mind…”

[The audio ends there]

[the-random-mail-service]

[a voice recording has been attached, take a listen?]

Click

“Say, how long do you think we have been walking?” A peppy voice asks, tinged with nervousness.

“…I don’t know. Feels like it’s been a while.” came the nearly monotonous reply.

“The mail room shouldn’t be this hard to find… right?”

“Who knows?”

“Say (a name was dropped here, too staticky to be made out), do you even remember when we last accessed the mail room?”

A pause, lengthening into silence as the audio cuts off.

[the-random-mail-service]

Ooc: uhh… probably should have probably mentioned this earlier but if you’re looking for mail from the-random-mail-service do make sure to have anon asks on!

This is a sideblog and I rather keep it separated from my main, so I would not be able to send any mail to blogs without anon asks on.

Thank you for understanding and apologies for all inconveniences caused.

Also tagging @lotus-and-pkmn just in case you haven’t seen this yet. I won’t be able to send any invites unless you have anon asks on. Apologies.

How can I sign up for this, it sounds like a fun idea

Also with this letter comes a berry smoothie, I made it myself, I would like an opinion before starting my restaurant

- @lotus-and-pkmn

Our services are currently invite only! But who knows? Maybe you will receive a letter in your inbox!

Also thanks for the smoothie, it’s pretty good.

“…oh my god.”

Shuffling noises could be heard

“Say this definitely isn’t random is it?”

“Nope, definitely not. Been targeted for a while actually.”

“You think it’s about time for us to, I don’t know… actually see what’s happening in the mailing department?”

“…sometimes I wish I cared less.”

“Yea, right. You care a lot more than most people. You just pretend not to.”

“…”

Pelipper mail! It’s from @the-random-mail-service

“Hello!”

A red orb gets tossed into your hands. Upon closer inspection it’s a replica of the moon covered in blood.

[A short video clip is attached of Zelda receiving this orb, nearly fumbling with it from shock, examining it more closely with narrowed eyes, and then her eyes suddenly widen and she throws it full force at the ground with a shriek of “FUCK YOU.”

Now her hands are covered in blood and she cries out as she tears off her gloves and shakes out her hands vehemently in an attempt to get the blood off. The rest of the group has rushed over to help.]

i have one thing to give you, random mail service, and it’s this: 🖕
