[ archived ] mailbox
Welcome to the NPC mailbox. Characters are free to send letters to the various NPCs currently in charge of the city. All replies will also be written and sent via messenger bird. Replies may take a while as they are busy officials.
Requests to meet NPCs in person are doable, but there is no guarantee it will happen—at least immediately. Efforts will be made when possible.
Since inquiries are sent via letter, you can write them as long or as short as you wish.
To schedule a thread with an Arehtei, refer to this entry.

I have prepared a manuscript detailing a number of theoretical advances in biology and physics which are known to my world, but which I can find little if any mention of in local books. While this document may be of some use to you, I must be of the opinion that nothing in it should be treated as gospel. Basic laws may differ between our worlds, and without confirmation, I can at best offer a possible explanatory framework. There is also less practical engineering information than I would like to be able to share-too much of what I know is either missing intermediate tooling needed to create it, or my own knowledge is too incomplete to provide much of use.
I would also like to discuss something else with you, under strict conditions of confidentiality.
OOC Questions: Jacqli might bring up the subject of EXEC_METAFALICA, a spell from her homeland that requires a human sacrifice to create new land, similar to island expansions writ large. She is fairly certain the locals don't need it, but she wants to judge their reaction to the topic before she discloses what she knows about it.

Jacqli,
I will be more than interested to accept a manuscript these theoretical advances in biology and physics from a different worlds. I would also be willing to listen to what other information you have to offer in regards to engineering information.
While I would be able to meet with you in on a one-on-one setting, I would have to report the meeting and the matter discussed if it is alarming, illegal, or otherwise noteworthy.
OOC Questions: Pearce's personal reaction to that would be quite alarmed and negative. He would want to ask how she knows this spell, if she's performed it, that sort of thing.

Dear sir,
As I indicated, my engineering expertise may be of limited value. My primary area of research was the advanced and esoteric field of H-wave and D-wave hyper dimensional field dynamics and interactions. While these effects can be applied in what is commonly referred to as magic, they are somewhat less useful in mundane and day-to-day topics, and I apologize if I leave you with more dead ends and unanswered questions than I help solve.
As a visitor from a world with a similar state of affairs, I find myself sympathetic to your people and wish to discuss some of the means that my own world's inhabitants have tried to use over the years. Some have been more successful than others, but while they are noteworthy and sometimes alarming, I doubt you will find them illegal.
OOC Answers: She will tell him the truth-she knows of it, she doesn't know it herself, she hasn't preformed it, and if she had she would be a small red crystal now because the spell rips the soul of it's caster out of their body with great gusto to create the needed power source. If directly questioned, she will admit that she observed an attempt to use it and was attempting to reverse the process. She will admit that she believes it to be incomplete and riddled with errors.
For that reason, among others, she hasn't included any of her world's magic-science or soul related topics in her bundle of science data. It does include topics like relativity, quantum mechanics, DNA structure and function, protein folding, and a few bits on brain structure and function.

In that case, I would be content if we can speak about this manuscript that you are willing to provide. In all truthfulness, I do find many of the otherworlders fascinating, and your information, even should it not function the same as in your world, is interesting all the same. I look forward to speaking with you. Will the 27th do?
OOC Questions: Pearce will be okay with learning about it, but by the end of the conversation he will say he'll be telling other people about that particular "spell", that being Rebbekah, Sergei, and Ledwika, and no one more. He will be very excited to learn about all she has to teach, even if he may not understand it completely.
Sorry this is late

Message: That will give me time to go over my text for errors and add a few last-minute details, but yes, that will work. I anticipate a productive and enlightening relationship.
