not enough sapphic romance rps :) - letter writing - closed, but stalk if you'd like! <3

(ye sure no prob)

Dear My dear Natalia–

I'm afraid I don't know much about how to write a letter. I haven't had to since I was 11 and my parents would have me send thank-you notes to my grandmother for what she'd send me. Silly knitted things, I never really wanted to wear them. But she worked so hard and I didn't want to disappoint her so I wrote them out on sheets of pink stationary in handwriting I don't really believe she could read and sent them out to her in Florida. Can you believe she moved there? It's such a cliche. Still, I don't wish to speak ill of the dead and that's her, now. You know that– my family was in London in the first place to see her childhood home, have a bit of closure. You know half of what I'm saying, Tali. I feel so stupid writing this and that's why it's taken me nearly three months after I last saw you to so much as put pen to paper, and why it's so hard to do so now. I don't even know why I'm oh forget that. I do know why I'm writing. It's because I miss you, your sky colored eyes, the slow way you smile. Your laugh. I'm no romantic, and yet I remember these things. You're branded in my mind. And I fear if I don't give this a shot, even when I've doubtlessly let you down by not writing (or even worse, you never expected me to write at all?) I'll never forgive myself. I hope I got your address right.

sincerely no. i hope, oh screw this. Your friend,
Ariel Bakker

(eyy there's the first letter i guess. when it's crossed out, that's meant to be like she wrote that but then changed her mind and scribbled it out? excited to see your first piece!)

(that was great! i think the different in tone of the two letters is definitely already interesting, as it shows personality)

(i'm sorry, i am! i was checking on some other stuff on the site but i'll get right on it :))

Tali,

It's so good to hear back from you, and I'm glad you weren't too upset. I guess I thought what we had was a bigger

I almost wish I could relate to your problems with your siblings. Everything is so quiet in this giant, empty house. Mom is never home, Dad wanders around like a ghost. It's almost unnerving, really– why would someone possibly need to tiptoe around all the time? But listen to me, complaining about having a big house. I really shouldn't be acting so petty. But nationals!! That's so exciting, Tali! You'll have to let me know how it goes. It's too bad I never have seen you actually surfing; that's not exactly something you do in London. But judging from the muscles in your legs… sorry, that might be crass. I'll stop. I'm actually glad that school has resumed– I was so bored all summer, after getting back, and while classes are mediocre at least I can see my friends. There's this new girl that transferred to St. Helen's and has been hanging out with me and Lavender and Jame. I don't know if I care for her, but she has pink hair which is kind of cool. Her name is Bodhi. I guess I'll keep you updated on her.

Again, good luck at nationals!
Ariel

Tali!
I'm so happy for you!! I don't even know what to say that's really incredible. Watch it with the alcohol, okay? I know you know your limits, but there's nothing sexy about getting lost on the way home and throwing up in a hydrangea plant. I say this from experience. Bodhi is a lot more interesting than I originally thought– she's in my bio class, so we've ended up spending a fair amount of time together. She's a writer, which is cool. Writes a lot of poetry in this notebook she carries, wears big glasses. Kind of hot in an english-teacher way, you know? I'm sorry, maybe that's a bit TMI. Jame and Lavender are dating again, which is how it is. Not to be rude, but do they ~really~ have to hold hands in the hallway? Every. Single. Day? It's exhausting, honestly, but not my problem.
Still dying over your nationals win!!

hi iron. i'm sorry, but i'm going to have to drop this rp. i just have too many things going on at the moment and it's not polite to keep you waiting on me all the time. apologies again, and hope you'd be open to working on something different together in the future! - velo
