"Dear old Friend,
if you read this you know that there is something I am asking from you. I still have a favour to ask and I am willing to use this certain favor now. I ask you very pleading to join me in my manor down the south-west coast of England near Coverack. I can't stress this enough but this letter is of highest urgency so once you read this there will be one of my man waiting to pick you up and bring you to the location of my manor at the coast.
I can't tell you now why this is so urgent, let us discuss that later when we have more time to talk, for now I can't tell for certain that noone else will read this letter. I have selected you and some more people to come join me because I find your abilities fitting for this task.
If you finish helping me, maybe there might be some time left to talk about new technology or maybe exchange some talk about what had happened to us while we didn't see one another in this time. I hope to further exchange some information of what's been going on in your cities recently, I haven't been able to be much outside lately so I'm a bit behind with the newest trends and such.
I hope hearing from you soon enough
-Conan Collin Arthus"It was still a very early morning in Coventry as a mailman threw in a very expensive looking envolope into the home of the so called Earl, Earl Connor of Coventry who was still half asleep on his toilet holding an open wine bottle in his one hand and some toilet paper in the other. It took him quite some time to get off that toilet aswell.
Whilst all that was happening another letter arrived in New Castle in a laboratory, wich looked pretty run down as if it wasn't from that time or out of use. Well in some way it is but in another way it is now a home to a very heavy researcher who is working on his newest invention, a driving tesla coil. It had already blown up many times before but he is determined to one day get it right.
All of that happened together with the same letter reaching a small home of a detective in Birmingham, who just came home from a very strange case. Just then he smoked a fag while he noticed the letter reaching him.
But at the same time as the letter reached all the other places another exactly same looking envolope reached a businesmans office in the middle of London. The dust and steam was already so heavy in London that you really couldn't tell if it was day or night anymore. With the newest technology of the McArthur Industries the man saw that he had mail wich he went to pick up.
But that was only one of three letters in London. The second one reached a fresh employed doctor in a northern London hospital. The doctor was just working on a patient after their surguery. She read the letter and put it aside.
The last letter reached a simple mailman who only carries love letters. Valentine as he would like to be called was on his route once more when he noticed a strange letter adressed to him. He just delivered a small box to a boy who got it from a guy out of his school. Valentine always liked such presents the most because he saw himself in those people who so freely could express their love. He wished he could have been as expresionate as those boys are.As the people brushed over the letter, they each packed some things because they knew they'd soon be gone for some days.
